РАЙ НА ЗЕМЛЕ HEAVEN ON EARTH

Wonderful resort!! ! On the first day of arrival, I said that I already want to come back here. I'll start from the very beginning. We went through 1000 TOURS Kyiv. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! ! Departure from Boryspil at 12.50, fly about 1 hour and 30 minutes. and we were met by the hospitable Bulgaria of Varna. The host is KITT. We were met by 2 representatives and sent to the bus, which was waiting somewhere in the airport parking lot. We arrived, and the driver politely told us that we were not on his list. Of course we were surprised. We went to the representatives of KITT. And, what a miracle - it turns out that the hotel's own minibus is waiting for us, which brings tourists only to Riviera Beach. There were only 2 couples in the minibus with us. I don’t know if this is the route or we were specially taken to the city center and we saw all the sights. So we no longer needed an excursion to Varna. )) The road to the hotel took about 30-40 minutes. A little serpentine on the road in front of the Riviera and here is the stop. AND FURTHER - PARADISE. The barrier opens and we drove into the territory of the Riviera. And it's true that no outsider will go there. Even the staff enters through a separate entrance with an electronic card. The entire territory is under video surveillance and only small cars drive, which serve 5 Riviera hotels (3-5 stars, 1-4 stars and 1-3 stars. We were quickly registered at the hotel. I will say right away that the passports remain with the administrator. We were given the key -card (2 pcs) and cards for towels for a sun lounger. The room was in the main building on the 6th floor (the last one). The room has everything you need. All rooms face the sea. And the view from our balcony was wonderful. It's nice to wake up and hear the sound of the surf. The whole resort is located in a park area, VERY ENHANCED, which gradually develops into a beach with a good sea. The sea is not deep, clean. Sand, but there are a few shells near the very entrance to the sea, so your feet are immediately drawn into the sea. But worth doing 2 more steps and sand again. But in Sunny Beach (were there 2 years ago) the sea is better - not at all deep and sand. I went 100 meters and I was not even up to my neck)) This is the only small minus. But at the same time, there are a lot of children here, whom their parents bring for the whole summer, and they themselves alternate with grandparents who come to look after the children. Animation for kids is good. There are nannies. We met a lot of people who come here every summer from Germany (there are a lot of Germans in the hotel), Russia, Ukraine, Romania and know each other and all the hotel staff. The rooms are cleaned every day. Leaving a tip will clean up even better. Almost forgot. All Germans, unlike Russians and Ukrainians, take all-inc. We also thought about it next time. But somehow it doesn't make much sense. You can dine in any restaurant at any hotel in the resort + there is a fish restaurant and a grill bar. You can also go to Golden Sands (5 minutes walk) and there, in addition to being very noisy, there is where to eat for every taste. Yes, here's something else. There is a Raiffeisen Bank on the Golden ones in the Imperial Hotel, where the exchange rate is VERY good, but you need to have your passport with you. Well, stand in line of 20 people. )) In addition, there is a restaurant nat on Zolotye. Bulgarian cuisine, where you can see the famous dances on the coals. And you don’t have to go on any tedious excursions for this. There is also diving. (3 or 5 days of training and on the high seas). Gold prices are below the Riviera. We went to the supermarket to buy water and juices. Aldo on the Sands. Plus, when leaving the Riviera (opposite) there is a small shop where prices also differ from the Riviera. We did not experiment much with food and dined at the restaurant at the hotel. VERY DELICIOUS AND QUICKLY COOKED. Near the hotel there is a fish restaurant, not bad, but the hotel is better. And the staff is kinder. The hotel has 3 outdoor pools and 1 indoor with mineral water!!!!! ! YES BY THE WAY THE WHOLE TERRITORY OF THE RIVIERA HAVE SPRINGS WITH MINERAL WATER WITH A LOW RADON CONTENT. We had a small pipe near the exit to the beach, where a stream of mineral water runs, but near the Imperial Hotel there is a large pipe, you can stand under it, but not for long - it's still radon. (20 min. max. ). During our stay, the weather was not very hot, but the sea was not quite warm either. True, in the Crimea then there were 13 degrees of heat of water, but on the Riviera from 17 to 23 degrees. The proof that an outsider would not pass was that on the beach we were once asked from which hotel we were asked to show the card (key) of the hotel. SECURITY)) In our free time from the sea)) we played tennis, walked along the Sands. OVERALL WE WERE VERY SATISFIED. Fantastically beautiful and cozy. THANK YOU BULGARIA!! ! We will be back.
