The Midia Grand Resort is a 3* hotel, not a 4* as it is sometimes reported online. This is confirmed by a certificate at the reception. Everything seems to be fine, but I will reflect what catches the eye:
+Pros
1. Near Burgas airport (15-20 min drive)
2. Settled immediately after arrival. Check-out until 12-00. But, because check-out from the hotel was at 23-30, they offered to extend it for half price (36 lev. ).
3. Entry into the sea is sandy and smooth. If there is no wind, the sea is clear.
4. The weather is comfortable. Hot during the day, cool in the evening. The air conditioner in the room rarely turned on.
5. For those wishing to receive treatment, there is mud from Lake Pomorie. Walk from the hotel along the coast for about a kilometer. There, by the way, the sandy beaches are wider and cleaner.

6. Very good organization of recreation in the camp for children. Animation. All kinds of hobby activities. In the evening, discos and concerts. Judging by the reaction, the children really like it.
- Minuses
1. At the entrance to the hotel, food stamps were issued. At the entrance to the restaurant, the employee "Supervisor" marks the visit on the ticket. "All inclusive" with food stamps! ? Nonsense. Even if you do not go to a restaurant, for example, during excursions, the visit still burns out.
2. There are no changing rooms on the beach and by the pools. The nearest toilets are at the reception and in the restaurant.
3. Beer only in the restaurant and lobby bar. The dress code is minimal. A T-shirt + swimming trunks is allowed (it seems that because of the bar counter, they don’t care what is below the belt).
4. An animation pool (closest to the barrier) is equipped with a paid bar. There "All Inclusive" does not work.
5. Beach towels are not provided. If you didn’t bring it with you from home, buy it in a shop (12 bol. Lev).
6. The hotel is located 2.5 km from the highway. Driving through narrow streets. Tour buses don't want to stop. After a trip to Istanbul, they left at the gas station of the village. Achella.
7. The rooms are cleaned superficially. The bed was changed on the 5th day.
8. The sandy beach by the sea is narrow and is located on a dam. Sunbeds in a row. There is only a wild beach near the water, it is not cleaned all over the bay. The sea near the coast in algae. Entertainment (riding on scooters, parachuting, etc. ) is not provided.
9. One restaurant. There are also a couple of smaller ones for kids. The food is monotonous. Unsalted. Some cutlets, yes meatballs. Natural meat happens, but rarely.
Sausage, ham, cheese, feta cheese - all of the same kind, but delicious.
10. From fruits - apples, oranges. Sometimes they take out peaches, apricots, watermelons. Although in July there are still cherries and melons.
11. Drinking is a problem. There is no cooler in the dorm. The nearest drinks (beer, cola) in the Lobby bar. But there is no cooler and tea and coffee there either.

In order to drink tea in the evening, I had to buy e-mail in the store. kettle and take tea leaves, sugar and water from the restaurant to the room.
12. Table setting. Tablecloths are not provided. Spices are not on all tables. At the request to bring spices, the servants answer - take it from another table : ) A feature of the hotel is that disposable cups are everywhere. For water, beer or coffee. There are no cups or at least plastic thermo glasses. Bulgarian wines can also be tasted from disposable cups, and not from wine glasses.
13. Alcohol of local production. quality on 3-. Who wants quality drinks, stock up in "Duty free".
14. Sale in shops only for cash Bolg. lyre. Money exchange only with € and $. Other banknotes are not recognized! Visa card is not accepted.
15. On the day of check-out, after lunch, "All Inclusive" is turned off and the bracelets are cut off. If the departure is late, food and drink for money.
