I had a rest in Obzor Beach Resort from August 15 to August 20.2008. Well, what can I say... Yes, I read a lot of positive reviews, but I myself...
Okay, let's start in order:
1. Hotel. The hotel is on the beach which is a plus. However, behind the hotel "the steppe, and the steppe all around... " You go out, and the desert is spread out in front of you (probably this year it was such a hot summer that all the grass behind the hotel dried up and really there was a feeling that you were not in Bulgaria, but near the Egyptian pyramids). During the day the heat is unreal, but in the evening, somewhere after eleven, it is as cold as late autumn. I liked the beach - clean, soft and somehow foreign, not at all like Crimean.
The only thing that is bad is paid sunbeds and umbrellas, but even here we found a way out: in order not to pay, we either lay down on towels right near the sea, or chose sunbeds in the middle and when the local mafia, in the form of a fee collector for sun loungers, began to collect tribute from any part of the beach, we simply moved to towels, and when he left, we returned back to our places.
2. A night club at a hotel (if this place can be called a club at all) is a room where there is a bar counter, two small rooms separated by a partition, with tables and a room with billiard tables. For me personally, this "club" was associated with an entertainment room in a nursing home, since apart from us, Russians, no one danced there at all (this is taking into account the fact that fifteen people were usually present in the entire "club" - this is taking into account two bartenders and three billiard tables! ) Moreover, at that time the Olympics were taking place in China and on plasma TVs hanging on the walls of the "club", diving competitions were broadcast to disco music! Nightmare! But that's not all. . . It was possible to dance only from ten to twelve in the evening, the beginning and end of this action was the same every day - to the old song of Michael Jackson, that is, Jackson's song sounds (the one where he danced his famous moon track ) - this means that the dancing has begun... and exactly two hours later this musical composition sounds again - this is the end of the evening. Then light slow music sounds for another hour - this is for those who are still eager to talk, and then that's it... Everyone is kicked out and go wherever you want.
Separately, I want to say about the night Obzor Beach Resort - have you ever seen a desert with people? Not? Exactly. There is no one here after ten. I'm not kidding: there are no people at all. It seems that everyone has died out. . . Only in the distance one can see a lonely light in the gatehouse, where two guards of the parking lot usually live. . . And all around is silence. . . This is where horror films should be made!
3. City Overview. In the city of Obzor itself (or rather, to call this place a village), there is one hundred percent Crimea on the beach: the beach is dirty and somehow painfully familiar with its broken umbrellas and the remnants of battered old eateries. The village of Obzor generally resembles the old Soviet times: after twelve, all the townspeople go to bed, the music stops everywhere and the lights go out, and vacationers, thirsty for "continuation of the banquet" and "thrills" roam around the dark city in search of at least some kind of nightlife. But, alas, to disappoint and finish drinking, they either go to sleep, or those who are quicker find out that on the outskirts of the village, somewhere very far away, there is a large building - the local disco "SPACE". There, big, muscular guards carefully check all the contents of the bag and, having led you through the metal detector gate, let you into the holy of holies... Here, the most interesting thing is how much I love nightclubs, but I have never seen such a flight of dancing thoughts! A huge two-story building, with an incredibly large dance floor and a huge wide screen, on the entire wall, near the DJ. The club works from 7 o'clock in the evening, but the movement itself starts after 12 at night, and the Bulgarian anthem sounds and all the youth sings along. The only thing that prevented "to come off in full" - it's the locals. I don’t know, maybe they have never seen Russian girls dancing before (would they have visited Ukrainian clubs! ), but they just curled in front of us in flocks (and this is not even Turkey! ). It got to the point that I had to dance on the second floor, fortunately, there was enough space there. I am 24 years old, blonde. They went on vacation with their young people, behaved decently and in no way provoked the locals, but this did not save us from persistent attempts to get to know each other.
And the road to the hotel is another story altogether! The path is not close, along a dark highway, which is illuminated only by the headlights of cars rarely passing by. The road, of course, can be shortened and go along a dark path. However, advice for women, on their own, unaccompanied by men (moreover, men should be well acquainted, since there are such huge black bushes... you never know... ) it’s better not to go around - it’s scary to the point of madness! And if the girl is also in heels, then it will be worse than a roller coaster! In general, the road with surprises.
4. Apartments. We lived in the "B" building overlooking the desert. And most importantly: we literally lived in the kitchen! The apartment consisted of a bedroom (in which two people lived) and a kitchen in which there was a small divay, clearly not designed for two people. But nevertheless, we were nevertheless settled in these apartments (although already upon arrival home and having filed a complaint with the travel agency, we found out that there was a mistake and we were settled in absolutely the wrong room for which we paid. Moreover, the travel agency and the tour operator are so they quickly returned the difference in money and apologized that there was absolutely no unpleasant aftertaste, but on the contrary, it was very positively extreme to open your eyes in the morning and realize that you were sleeping next to kitchen utensils. all look optimistically!
5. Nutrition. We only paid for breakfast - several types of omelettes, a varied selection of sausages and cheeses, fresh fruits and vegetables. You can live with such a menu for a week, but more, of course, is not recommended, in order to avoid unpleasant consequences... Moreover, we, like real Russians, in order not to spend money on buying food in the supermarket, took sausage and buns with us from breakfast. I think that the removal technology is clear, however, just in case, I will explain how we did it. They took a large beach bag and a couple of bags, collected full plates of food, and when the guard and waiters turned away, they put the food in bags, and then into the bag. During the week of our stay in this hotel, we were never stopped, although there were sidelong glances from the waiters. But to us what...
By the way, please pay attention to the fact that the restaurant has a lot of OS. They are literally everywhere, and it seems that they fly with the whole hive at the same time - there were so many of them. In addition, it seems that they have not eaten at all for a couple of days - with such a terrible appetite, they pounced on any food on their plate. And most importantly, they did not pay absolutely no attention to people! Although in our group they bit three people (probably they tried to take away the sausage from the wasps).
5. Service. Hmmm. . . Well, what can I say. . . It felt like we were playing hide and seek with the cleaners, and they were hiding, and we were always looking for them. . . That's how you go out to the beach in the morning, you see the cleaning lady, who hasn't had time to hide yet, and take her to your room. Everything! A bird got caught in a cage, there's nothing you can do, you'll have to clean it up. . . But they voluntarily refused to enter the room. . . Why would that be?? ? After a complaint at the reception, we still found one brave cleaning lady and she really came every day and cleaned our room. The cleaning lady has probably never cleaned at the Russians, because on the first day she was shocked by the number of empty bottles, then she got used to it a little... and we started playing hide and seek again. Only now we were hiding: it seemed that the cleaning lady appeared only at the moment when we were carrying heavy packages of alcoholic drinks from the supermarket! Moreover, at these moments she reproachfully poked her finger at us, clutched her head and said something in a language we did not understand.
Yes... Also, I apologize for the details, if you eat at Obzor Beach Resort, then take a month's supply of toilet paper with you, because for unknown reasons, either in all of Bulgaria, or only in the hotel itself, they have a serious toilet paper tension paper: for four people, we were given one roll of toilet paper every day.
Well, basically, that's all I wanted to say. . .
And finally: Believe me, all of the above is not a negative response and an attempt to discredit the honest name of the hotel. No, not by any means!! ! Think about it, if everything was perfect, then, perhaps, there would be nothing to tell upon your return. I do not at all consider this trip a spoiled holiday, on the contrary, I am very glad that I went to this hotel and with these conditions! In our everyday life, there are not so many reasons for sincere joy, and Obzor Beach Resort gave a lot of exciting adventures and positive emotions!
So if you are optimists - go to Obzor Beach Resort - believe me, you will not regret it!
