On the declared 5 stars does not pull:
1. Very poor engineering systems in the rooms (we had an apartment with 2 bedrooms in Alpha) - the air conditioner is noisy so that the children wake up, in the bathroom from the drain, sorry, it stinks).
2. NO PRIVATE BEACH. There is a free public one (come, sunbathe for free on a towel or air mattress, which you can buy in the city for 11-12 leva, in a hotel - more expensive, or on a towel). All umbrellas and deck chairs belong to different firms, which charge 5 leva for them (separate sunbed and separate umbrella). The pools are good, but they close at 18.00, and the water smells like bleach.
3. cleaning in the rooms is not very good (apparently, they didn’t teach the maids to clean up properly). Even tips do not help - it is clear that she is grateful and tries, but the result is so-so - in two weeks the maids did not wipe the mirror in the bathroom (they wiped it themselves), the countertop by the sink - too. To be meticulous, you need to lead the number by the hand and show where and what to remove.
4. All-inclusive meals are rather uninteresting, although good, there are practically no portioned dishes. Wines of one variety - draft white and red. Juices are a diluted yuppie type drink. There are a lot of desserts, very tasty sweet banitsa and national sweets. Fruits are mostly creepy (with the exception of watermelons and melons), but they are very cheap and very tasty can be bought at any greengrocer in the city. Additional restaurants are not all open, they were in Italian - I liked only tiramisu - amazing, the rest of the dishes had no "Italian" taste at all (apparently, they are prepared by chefs who have never tried Italian food). In the city (old part) there are a lot of cafes/restaurants where you can eat more interesting - both with local seafood and national dishes - at least two times cheaper.
In general, these are trifles. If you don’t get hung up on them, you can relax very well - a shallow sea, a good sandy beach, relatively few people, a calm non-tourist city, the Bulgarians themselves (especially older ones) are very hospitable and friendly people. You can definitely go to the service in the monastery of St. George not far from the hotel, as well as in the cathedral in the old part of the city, where there are also shops and social life.
P. S. In Pomorie they make good wine (Black Sea Gold), served in hotel restaurants, in city shops, and in the company store next door (Festa Hotel), where it is even cheaper, and the choice is the largest. You can drink in the evening on the terrace to the sound of the waves and the sea breeze, eating amazing peaches, figs, grapes - whatever you like, or you can take it with you. Children will also like everything (except wine).
