УЖАС HORROR

The hotel is a half-star maximum. It's tired: the plaster is peeling, the metal parts are rusty, the mattresses are old and creaky. The baby rolled over, and my wife and I woke up; I rolled over, and my wife and baby woke up.

The towels have holes and stains, the bed linens are worn and stained. The plastic chairs on the balcony and summer terrace are cracked, some are almost broken. There's mold everywhere. The cleaning is mediocre: they vacuumed today, cleaned the toilet tomorrow. At least they take out the trash every day.


The air conditioning works, and there's no extra charge. The windows overlook the parking lot, so it was quiet. The closet is tiny, there are no shelves, and there's nowhere to put your things. The safe is only available at reception, and it costs 3 euros per day. I'm not picky, so I'm happy with that. But the greed with soap and shampoo was surprising: upon check-in, they gave us three small bars of soap and three shampoos—that's all. It's good that we always bring our own.

Now about the food—it's a FIASCO.

Everything that can be spoiled, has been spoiled. Everything that can be bought of the lowest quality, has been bought of exactly that quality.
The cold cuts—the sausage and cheese—are of such poor quality that we tried a piece on the first day and didn't order any more. French fries are available every day, but they're so dry you could break your teeth. The same goes for the nuggets—they were only decent once. They even managed to ruin the pre-cooked nuggets. They add cheap cheese from the cold cuts that no one eats to the noodles, making them inedible.

From 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM, the so-called snack is pizza. This is how they save stale cold cuts and tomatoes with seeds.

It's hard to find a table for lunch. Dinner is even worse: it's from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, but most people arrive around 7:00 PM. This results in a line for food and a real collapse in the number of tables.

Wine and beer are available on tap in the cafeteria. Many people tried the wine and simply poured it out—and rightly so: it wasn't wine, it was swill. Some drank beer, but I feel sorry for their stomachs, livers, kidneys, and pancreases.

It's the same story at the bar. The whiskey is cheap swill with the smell of methylated spirits. The soda is watered down both in the cafeteria and at the bar. Regular Coke is watered down, Cola Zero is watered down several times. By the end, it all tasted like soda with citric acid and sugar.
People got water from a cooler connected to the water supply.

Tea bags. Three days before our departure, we ran out of black tea. The coffee in the vending machines is a sham: the beans are there, but somehow their quantity doesn't decrease. The coffee itself is chicory, not even a coffee aroma.


Salads made from old tomatoes and cucumbers, with more seeds than cucumbers or tomatoes. Generally, the food selection is limited to two or three dishes. Sometimes in the evening there's nothing to eat at all. It's impossible to find anything for a child. We had to buy food at the store, and not even the closest one—the prices there are about three times higher.

There are horse-drawn carriages nearby; the hotel chef should be sent to feed the horses; he's in the wrong place.

The beach. It's about 10 minutes away. Two sun loungers cost about 16 euros for the whole day, but sometimes the staff somehow forgets that you've already paid for them. There are plenty of free areas, and you can find a spot. Jellyfish are rare: I only got stung by one in seven days.

There's a swimming pool on site, but there might not be enough lounge chairs.
The crowd is primarily Ukrainians, Poles, Bulgarians, and Romanians, with a few Moldovans and Belarusians. After Bulgaria joined Schengen and adopted the euro, prices rose, while quality seems to have declined. During peak season, it's very crowded. Russian is predominantly spoken on the streets and on the beach, and shop assistants are also predominantly Russian-speaking.

Bottom line: if decent rooms and food are what you're looking for, this isn't the place.
