The holiday was 100% successful. Really very glad that we made this choice, in Bulgaria, on the seashore.
The most important wish for the hotel is to stay as high as possible, there is a beautiful view, and at sunset everything is unusually beautiful)
The hotel itself is good. As in every hotel, the staff plays a very important role, they immediately liked the guys from the first time, they are responsive, they offer the best options for recreation, excursions, etc.
The food is very tasty, our children really liked it, the portions are large, a lot of fruits, vegetables, sweets, watermelon was almost every day, for breakfast cheese, cold cuts, various jams, pancakes and much more. The main thing is not to overeat, because you still need to swim and relax)
The hotel has a terrace where you can enjoy the warm rays of the sun, the beach is sandy, the sea is clean, but shallow)
The kids didn’t download either, there were a lot of entertainment programs, the animators came up with different games, even a mini disco)
In general, we really liked it)
The food is wonderful, they went to the restaurant like hard labor, because. everything is very tasty, but you can’t place it, a large selection, for every taste. Soups and potatoes were not very tasty from the food - but this is to the taste of our family. The taste of the soup was very dietary, but the potatoes seemed to be frozen, although they were cooked on the grill, it turned out fine. In the evening, the bar at the reception had Japanese cuisine, where the soup was just super. There is always something to eat, there is always some food from 7-00 to 23-00.
For small children there was an entertainment program in the evening - a disco, then for adults. The animation is good, not very annoying, but it will not be boring. For a family with children - a great holiday.
The food is excellent, entertaining games for children, many pools. When we were leaving, my daughter realized that we were leaving the room forever, we couldn’t pick her up from there, she didn’t want to go out - she sobbed and held on to the door, screaming - no, so even 1.5 years old baby liked the rest.
2. Everything is clean and beautiful.
3. Excellent service.
food for 5+
excellent hotel! I advise!
In my reviews, I always make a reservation that I plan a summer vacation before the New Year and immediately book a hotel, draw up a holiday program myself (I don’t like to shake operators), study all the reviews and communicate with the locals of the country where I am going to go))) )) therefore, the rest is always good, not boring, harmonious, without sick and dissatisfied (I have been traveling for 20 years . . I raised children on trips). This time, take the Moscow-Burgas train (tickets for 45 days are not a problem there and back with a good discount), we bought a coupe for two and looked very good compared to other passengers who stuffed themselves like a herring into a barrel with children and dogs. The road is easily tolerated, there is air conditioning, again, if you know how to keep yourself ))))) Tui's driver was waiting for us on the platform and took us to the hotel (the road from Burgas is 35 minutes). draw conclusions - they will not live in a bad place.
Tip number 1 Do not settle above the 2nd floor (you'll have to wait half a day to go up), and we walk up and down.
Tip number 2 Try not to take a sea view, i. e. swimming pool (silence on vacation, in fact, creates relaxation, as well as savings of about 10 thousand).
The food is very good and varied.... IT IS PROVIDED FOR ALL AGES (from fresh milk, yogurts and cereals to french fries, which they played football there...uncivilized Russian children abandoned by their parents), that is, everything is there, both meat and pockmarks and kebabs and grill and vegetables and fruits desserts - I think this is not worth discussing - Sol hotels are always famous for service and food.... I only rest in them . . my children never got sick on trips, though they don’t have the habit of drinking water there are chips in the pool, you need to take care of the children, then the rest will be good. The rooms are new, clean, cleaned perfectly, everything worked, the minibar is a bit weak. The animators are excellent, they are busy with the children all day long, they also liked entertainment for adults - salsa lessons, water polo, volleyball and shooting. For those who like to drink - cocktails are weak, beer too, but this is a guarantee that everyone is alive)))))) ))))
I am a political historian, therefore the Balkans and the city of Nessebar are of particular non-tourist interest to me, rich history, wars, excavations. people don’t go out to the balcony at all - solid thunder and lightning, there’s nowhere for an apple to fall on the beaches. 2 buses went there from our hotel.... it seems 5 stops (1 lev fare, 15 lev taxi). Creams, products, gifts - a supermarket Mladost - 2 stops from the hotel (you can walk). . by the way, the hotel itself is located in the village of Ravda. . It is inexpensive, the cars are good, there are no problems with gasoline and roads (many Bulgarians have not been in their capital in their entire lives, for them 200 km is like the Far East for us))))) so the roads are always free, you are welcome everywhere, with an overnight stay no problems. Who will be interested, I will tell you about Rupite (Vanga), Peter Ich, Sofia, Plovdiv and other cities.... for 3 days everyone looked)))))) Do not listen to anyone about any infections and difficulties that sick people create, take your license and boldly go to the Balkans. The hotel is excellent , the sea is wonderful (as for the beach - IT DOES NOT BELONG TO THE HOTEL and therefore the hotel and the beach are different things).
Tip number 3 - swim on the beach away from the sunbeds (the sea is clean and the sand is clean).
Tip number 4 do not lie in the shade in the pines - firstly, it's cool, and secondly, there is a rookery of abnormal Russians. . mat. . cards. . or on children. . foreigners sunbathe by the pool.
Tip number 5 feel free to take the train, but buy a compartment for two or three. Speaking of the train...it leaves Burgas at 20.05, and not as indicated on the tickets at 20.30 and in the schedule at 20.15. ))))) many were late.
Tip # 6 Do not throw away train tickets there upon arrival in Burgas, they are the return tickets (some were not put on the train).
Tip # 7 Book a hotel in February - it's cheaper.
Advice No. 8 Take a car to the Balkan Express (25 euros per day...at the hotel -80 euros per day).
Advice No. 9 Gifts are purely symbolic - creams, lotions, rose oil - are cheaper in the supermarket.
Advice No. 10 Do not collect a lot of things - there is nowhere to wear, dresses and shoes, boots, jeans are not needed)))))) Be sure to visit the Balkan Circus, this is a class - good clowns and an interesting program)))))) write...there is something tell. . .
The hotel rooms are spacious, not "super", but very solid. The building and grounds are similar to Soviet-era sanatoriums, but at the same time, all the best is taken and, of course, with excellent service. The staff is unobtrusive, pleasant. The biggest plus, perhaps, is the food (beef, pork, chicken, lamb, a couple of times a rabbit; a variety of fruits: watermelons, melon, peaches, apples, pears, plums, apricots, kiwi, pineapples a couple of times). The sweet was not particularly impressive (but the figure was better preserved). I liked the animation, especially the kids club (but not the Toucan, which everyone praised), but at the hotel. In Tukan, indeed, only those who traveled through the TUI are recorded on a voucher (we are). Because of the Toucan, they preferred Nessebar Bay, but they liked Nessebar Palace more, and the club from the hotel was located in Mare (there were slides and children entertained more fervently and invited everyone from 4 years old). The territory is common (because of this, the hotel wins in comparison with nearby ones, where there is only a building and access to the sea. ) Because of the beach, I doubted this hotel for a long time (I read reviews), but don’t even hesitate (if you are not an avid diver ). The beach strip is narrow, but long, there was everything, sand to the very buoys. The sea is shallow, under the buoys, probably three meters, but warm. Algae was, it's true, but we found the leftmost (meaning left) point of the beach, where there was practically no algae. And if you go to the neighboring beach (on the left through the net), there is deeper and there are no algae. In the descriptions of the hotel it is noted that the second line is also across the road, but in fact there is no road and the sea is 3 minutes away.
I liked the territory, pines, deciduous, fruit trees, squirrels.
Outside the territory of the hotel we went towards Ravda and Nessebar. It's lively in Nessebar. It is better to go to the old city (1 lev by bus) there and the exchange rate is higher and interesting. The first time they tried to walk, with the child they only reached the new part of the city.
I didn’t really like this part of Bulgaria itself - all in construction sites and mini-hotels. About 15 years ago we rested in Albena, even then it was livelier and prettier than on this side. But if you still go in this direction, then only to hotels of the sol network, because we have not met more worthy ones.
I didn’t have time to “warm” and “dry” the child - we’ll go out - we already want to go back, and then to the slides, and then to the sea, and so a vicious circle)))) Descent to the sea along the steps (for the first time they counted 71, then 73) )), but not a straight staircase, that's good)
Food - generally super - everything is yum-yum, as a result I am +2 kg, the child is +1.5: and mashed potatoes, and cutlets, and chicken, and fish, and scrambled eggs, and pasta, and soups, in short - in In this regard, I really liked it.
A lot of entertainment - they drew tattoos, painted plaster figures, painted pictures with sand, went to discos, watched children's performances and concerts... a full house... so everything is super. The animators are generally great: songs in Russian (it was extremely surprising to hear "Twice two - four"), and in English.
The rooms are clean, spacious, beds - uuuh))) Everything is as in the pictures. 3 lifts overlooking the pool and grounds.
On excursions - we didn’t like anything, in any case, the representative of Solvex presented it somehow of little interest (for the entire rest we saw her 1 time). Those who went - did not experience much delight. Then they took the car, they rode themselves.
From the bad - I just won’t go from Vnukovo anymore (after all, there was an airport for domestic flights - it’s “road” to it there, and not international ones in the summer season) and no more Kuban airlines, etc. , tour operator Solveks, etc. P. - on the way there 2 skirmishes in the queue (one window for baggage claim and one window for passport control) crush, flea market, horror (((, and on the way back the flight was delayed, so decently - for 3 hours, well, as they say , without such trifles, a vacation would not be a vacation (this is a charter).
Regarding Solvex, there is another interesting fact: they don’t give hot food on the plane. Kuban speaks Solvex and vice versa. The set includes a sausage ring, a strip of cheese, a second glass of juice is not allowed (((There are no sweets. This is despite the fact that 90% of tourists with children)))
Of course, I didn’t get on a plane, but I met this for the first time (I flew with TransAero, VimAvia and KogalymAvia).
For those who are upset - read the first line !!!! ! Have a good rest everyone))))
