I rested in this hotel with 2 children (5 and 9 years old) and with friends also with children of younger and middle age. We didn't take food, there were no problems.
Now in order:
We lived in a small G building overlooking the pool and side sea - for me it was very convenient. Direct sea view from 2 bedroom apartment. All buildings with elevators and ramps.
The room is spacious, bright, clean, good soundproofing (except for the front door). 1bedroom apart. : 2 rooms, entrance hall, bathroom with shower (hairdryer available, hot water switch at the entrance), large balcony with entrances from both rooms with a set of plastic furniture.
The bedroom is the same as in all hotels, the beds are 2 shifted, there is a safe and a vacuum cleaner in the closet (they were never used).

Studio room approximately 30 m2 with a sofa bed and a fully equipped kitchen (refrigerator, 4-burner electric stove, oven, microwave, electric kettle, toaster, coffee maker and dishes) with a dining table and 4 chairs. Pots and pans - 2 each, large volume, as many as 5 knives.
Air conditioners in both rooms, we did not use, because the room was always cool. TV with 3 Russian channels, but the children watched cartoons on Bulgarian channels.
Wet cleaning was carried out every day, linen was changed 1 time in 3 days. Everything is clear, do not turn away.
Hotel. All buildings of the hotel are at the edge of the beach. There are 7 buildings in total and it turns out - the hotel is stretched along the beach for 600-700 meters!
Between the buildings there are swimming pools, playgrounds or mini-golf (paid). Building G also has a giant chess set. Inside the U-shaped buildings A, B, C there are also pools and 2 bars. But there are practically no trees anywhere, I missed them. Also on the way to the city. The terrain is similar to the steppe, although the town of Obzor is located on a mountainside.
The beach is huge! Sunbeds, umbrellas - 6 levs each. If you want a towel, please, there is a lot of space. At the exit from the beach in several places - a foot shower and a full shower.
The sea in June was quite warm, with waves, we swam every day, except for one, when a red flag was hung out because of the big waves. When the sea calmed down, they caught crabs and hermit crabs. The entrance to the sea is sandy, long, gentle, but be careful - in front of the football goal at building G, there is a large stone in the sea - you can’t see it in the waves!
Because of the cold nights, the pools warmed up only in the middle of the day, and even in the evening, so they swam a little. In addition, the pools between the small buildings are blown more strongly, so we went to building A.
There were almost no children in the mini-club. The animator is a Bulgarian girl, mine didn’t understand her, so they didn’t rush there. During the day, a photographer with a full-length cartoon character walked along the beach. Photographs were hung out in the evening (10 leva/pc).

We did not see the daytime animation, the evening animation was rather weak, we only watched the “Bulgarian Evening” in its entirety. Mini disco is held right on the beach on the sand. Usually we went to the city in the evening, maybe we missed something...
Wi-Fi in the hotel 7 leva/day, a week is cheaper. Several computers with internet and skype - 6 levs/hour.
Nutrition. The main restaurant is located in building D, in June breakfast cost 10 leva, dinner - 20 leva, for a child under 12 years old - half the cost. There is also an a la carte restaurant in building A, prices there are higher than city prices, but acceptable, and a mini market.
In the city we had dinner a couple of times, sometimes for 25 leva, sometimes for 15 for three. 1 bowl of salad was enough for 3 of us. I warn you, there's nothing in tripe soup but tripe at all.
But usually I bought everything in the market and in Sparma, the prices are low, the products are more natural than our plastic ones. I found out where they sell fresh cow's milk in the morning for 1.5 leva / liter, regularly bought goods. A scooter taken from home was very useful, I used it as a donkey.
From the hotel to the city 10-15min. on foot, they also take a minibus to the city center (for 1 lev), according to the schedule at the reception and a driver on horseback (15 lev).
The city of Obzor is a small, cozy, pretty resort town. In the park next to the embankment there are free fitness equipment, in the pool with fountains for those who wish there are balls in which you run like a squirrel in a wheel, on the embankment there is an open amphitheater, in which we hosted a very interesting international festival of children's groups (entrance is free), and also rides, trampolines, slot machines (1-3 levs). Around and along the central streets there are tents with all kinds of goodies (on average, everything is 2 leva), toys, souvenirs, clothes.
Exchangers are quite common, the rate is: 1 euro = 1.9-1.93 leva, $ 1 = 1.5 leva. I changed it in different places, there were no problems anywhere, everywhere they gave a check (sometimes even for a signature), where everything is clearly spelled out.

In the private sector, owners try to embellish their homes by all means: flowers in the garden and in pots, mini-ponds, bridges, lanterns, etc. Very happy when walking around the village.
We got out on an excursion only 1 time - to Nessebar. On your own by bus from the bus station. I liked it very much: interesting, original, it is a pity that there was little time. I will definitely go to Nessebar again!
I tried to be brief about everything. I hope the review will be useful when choosing a place to stay.
