We returned from Bulgaria yesterday, rested with a child of 4 years old, and a niece with a child of 3.8 years old, as it was written on our package of documents - our vacation expert - TUI, that is, his representative met us at the airport and escorted us to the bus, two suitcases no one helped women with small children to put them in the luggage compartment, the driver looked at us and spoke on the phone, we didn’t drive to the hotel for long, but they dropped us off across the road from the entrance to the hotel, explaining that the bus could not drive up to the entrance (although later every day we watched both disembarkation and landing at the door of the hotel, and they took us from the hotel already from the door, on the same big bus) - this is about cordiality and hospitality... They settled into the room quickly, the room itself is a two-room apartment in general good, only the promised bathrobes and slippers were not cleaned, as evidenced by the sand and debris on the carpet, dust on the bedside tables. Towels were changed on time, at night, ventilation was apparently turned off and by morning the bathroom smelled of sewerage. They didn’t find the promised park around the hotel, it doesn’t exist at all, of course it’s not 70 meters to the beach, go across the road, through a series of cafes and shops, at least 10 minutes... the first line of the beach, (it is separated by a rope) is paid, one sun lounger is 7 leva , an umbrella for another 7 leva, behind a rope, on a free beach, people lie on towels, through which you have to maneuver to reach the sea. On a paid beach, although they collect garbage, there are still a lot of cigarette butts, in general, the sand is not golden... You could swim only in the morning, while there were still not very many people, later the youth who had been walking the day before woke up and companies with beer plunged waist-deep into the water, made noise, laughed, played ball, it should be noted that the toilet for two cabins on the beach paid 0.5 leva and there was never a queue for it, so think for yourself... Very dirty on the way from the sea to the hotel, although our hotel employees every morning they cleaned along the fence, but it didn’t last long.
Kitchen.
We had an AL food system, there was no children's table or menu, for breakfast muesli, cereal, milk, pancakes, scrambled eggs, every day the same thing, children's yoghurts were all day 4, cereals never. Fruits were always - watermelon, melon , oranges, bananas, apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, plums, so the dessert is in order. The rest of the menu is always the same, french fries, mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, sometimes mushrooms and beans, only chicken meat was tasty, the rest was practically not chewed, a couple of times there was delicious fish, of course we didn’t go hungry, but it was problematic to feed the children - either spicy or tasteless.

The pools are good, only the seagulls swam and swam in the big one every evening, of course they spoiled, in the morning, apparently, the employees cleaned, but still not pleasant. Our children really liked the children's pool, but for some reason there is no shower near it, only near an adult, it is very inconvenient, since it is not close to get around through the hedge.
The children's club practically does not work, there were no children there several times, and there are no toys either, only an evening disco, which we went to, although the neighboring hotel has a children's room with toys, slides with balls, and so on, but already for money - hour -12 leva, that's where they played...
It is very noisy on the street, especially in the evening, and at night there are a lot of people, drunken youth, the street along the embankment is one continuous market with cafes, attractions, bars, hairdressers, tattoo parlors, shops, etc. the children were "stupid" and so were we, so it was possible to sit quietly only on the territory of the hotel.
So, choosing a vacation spot with young children next time, we definitely won’t choose Sunny Beach. . .
