We went to Bulgaria for the first time. Before that I went to Turkey, Greece, and because I love change, I decided to go to Bulgaria. The hotel was chosen by themselves. The son saw the photo Cliff Beach & Spa 4 * and fell in love at first sight and did not pay attention to any arguments, such as the stairs, the remoteness to civilization. Well, this hotel, this one. We ordered a tour from an acquaintance in the "Premier Tour" (Ternopil), and because my son flatly refused the planes and my husband could not escape by car, the bus remained. We booked the tour almost 2 months in advance. For 3 people. (1 adult and 2 children: 14 and 12 years old, who went as adults) we paid for 7 days-740 euros without a visa with breakfast (because I like to try different cuisines) and by the way did well, because the kitchen in the hotel is monotonous, I will not say that is tasteless, but in the city it is much tastier ...But in order. We went from Frankivsk, the carrier - "Algol". About the carrier - I go by them for the first and last time.
The benefit of people gaining not a full bus, you can get on two seats.
I was more lucky - I went there as a queen in 4 seats, the children had 2. of course without air conditioning. It was something. The borders passed without any problems. Stopped skin 3-4 years at gas stations. Yeah, more about the travel agency. In the bus it turned out that we go without insurance - they forgot to give. It took a long and tedious time to find out what to do, because the customs could check and there would be problems. Thank God, not tested. And the insurance had to be sent by e-mail to the hotel, which I never received at the hotel or anywhere else. We drove to the Review at 22 or 23 o'clock. Another disadvantage of the carrier in hotels, they do not deliver, which the tour operator did not report. We were dropped off near the bus station and goodbye. A. hotel outside the city. Took a taxi (5E).

Near the hotel we were helped to carry luggage by the staff who carried the luggage (forgot what it was called), tipped 2E. We were accommodated immediately, although it was 9 or 10 years, and the settlement of 14. The hotel is great. Everything is as in the picture. Clean, all so bright.
Pools are great, although I'm not a fan of them, clean, almost chlorine-sensitive. And these cascades! There is a jacuzzi pool. However, you can swim in the pool up to 18 years. In principle, it makes no sense later. The sun sets quickly. Contingent cultural, family or romantic couples. Many Germans, Americans, fewer Bulgarians, Italians, Russians. Everything is valid, calm. In the restaurant-dining room no one is pushing, not noisy. True, the food is monotonous, although I can only judge by the breakfast.
Breakfast: omelet, boiled eggs, sometimes pasta, 2 types of sausages, 4 types of sausage and as much cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, sometimes gave fried whole mushrooms, balls of sandwich sandwiches, oil, 2 types of muffins (balls like that). Of the watermelon fruit (tasteless), plums, once were semi-green peaches and once pears. 1 time bought at the hotel lunch-dinner for 3 buffets. It cost us 550 UAH and was disappointing. Then they had lunch or dinner in the city.
At 3: the children took a portion of french fries + schnitzels, I had a Greek salad with a glass of wine and they were somewhere in the juice 15E; if pizza + I moussaka something 9E and everything is delicious. I really liked "Goldfish" (I'm not sure she wrote correctly) which is located near the supermarket "Sparm". A good pizza at the beginning of the waterfront in a cafe or restaurant "Sea Sounds".
And now again at the hotel. The hotel itself is great.
But a little embarrassing this descent to the sea, namely 213 steps (I specifically counted). I thought it would be great fitness, but still difficult. We went to the sea in the morning: there 213 steps + back and in the evening we went to dinner and walk around the city, too. Because you could get to the city either by taxi (5E) (10 minutes), or on the road despite the vineyards (30 minutes), or the best option on the beach to the waterfront (about 15 minutes). It is best to go to this hotel in your car or rent. I and the children really liked it.

We plan to go here next year, but with my husband in the car, but not on Algol buses. And so Bulgaria liked its prices, if even compared to Turkey and Greece, unobtrusive service.
