I'll start in order. One BUT……. From what I have listed below, NOTHING AFFECTED MY BULGARIAN REST AND ATTITUDE TO THE HOTEL!!!
MEETING:
Rested family of 3 people: me, husband, child 3.4 years. The meeting party of Teddy Kam. Met promptly, without any excesses and incidents. The meeting guide is an aged woman, very sociable and humorous) I immediately infected with positive.
HOTEL:
The hotel is very decent for its 3 *. Everywhere is clean, the staff is friendly, always ready to help, not everyone knows Russian and with difficulty. But we understood each other. The territory is also well-groomed, a lot of greenery, everything is neat and pleasantly decorated.
ROOM:
Upon arrival at the hotel, they settled immediately, because. we arrived at 14.40. Check-in after 14.00, check-out before 12.00

The room was spacious, clean, comfortable. We took the "Superior". The air conditioner was brand new. At first, this did not please us, but then we found pluses: it cools no worse, but more gently and not with a lot of cold pressure, which is great for a child. The balcony is very spacious, equipped with a clothes dryer, 2 chairs and a table. I went out to the golf course, I even saw a decent piece of the sea.
The rooms were cleaned WELL every day, regardless of whether you leave a lion for tea or not. I had to wipe the dust myself. Towels were changed 1 time in 2 days, bed linen 1 time per week.
NUTRITION:
Breakfast: fried eggs, 2 types of scrambled eggs, sausages, vegetables, yogurt, cereal with milk, toast, croissants, fruit…. In general, a typical European breakfast. Pancakes were fried at the barbecue from 8.00 to 10.00, whoever has the patience to stand in line will get his pancake . . BUT... 1 serving on hand, so if you are 2. . 3 . . etc. let them line up for you too.
Lunch: always 2 types of soup (one is always meat, the second is cream soup). The first 1.5 weeks there was a chic choice of meat: veal, pork, chicken, fish were constantly present. Stewed vegetables, french fries, often made lasagna as a side dish. And fruits are always watermelons, sometimes apricots, often apples and oranges.
After the mass check-in of the Russians took place, signs were posted asking not to take food out of the restaurant, apples and oranges began to be cut in half.
By the way, the volume of meat has decreased. But there has always been a choice.
At lunchtime, hoddogs were cooked on the barbecue.
Get ready that in all dishes there will be a specific Bulgarian national seasoning... let's say for an amateur.
We talked to the locals on the beach, they assured us that the Baikal Hotel is one of the most popular and best in everything in this part of the resort.
Also spoke to people from other hotels, and 4 and 5 stars who were horrified by the food in their hotels. Watered down wine, twisted sausage patties. . . people paid for ALL and had to shop for groceries, which cost at least 100 euros a day.
Dinner: in principle, everything that was for lunch, only cooked anew, in a slightly different combination of products, even the soup was....NEW . . not one of those soups that were not eaten at lunch))) The same fruits.

On the table with fruit there is always fresh compote of 2 types, yogurt, sour milk.
BBQ dinner was OR: chicken, pork, sausages, meatballs… every day one of these. + fried with spaghetti sauce. Again, 1 serving in hand, standing in a huge queue)
Throughout the day there was always ice cream, cakes (biscuit + whipped cream... ), soft drinks in bars, local spirits.
They always took red dry wine, the spill was from bottles (not skittles), the wine was not diluted and very worthy.
The hotel is very close to the center, until you pass a bunch of shopping rollers, you will not notice how you are already in the center.
To the sea at best 5 minutes, directly through the hotels "Pliska" and "Pomorie". Sunbeds and umbrellas for a fee. No one will allow you to lie just on a towel by the sea, a free zone has been set aside for this, 25-30 steps from the sea. Umbrella - 8 lev (4 euros), sunbed - 8 lev. Expensive, but we took only an umbrella and enjoyed the sea air.
The beaches are very clean, the sand burned your feet, but it was great! The sea has never been calm, because. wind was always present.
The climate is pleasant and dry.
PURCHASES:
All things are Turkish, from there they carry. Bulgarians DO NOT BARGAIN, and even get a little angry when you try to dump something. But at the same time, very friendly, kind, humorous! Prices bite, but something you can afford, it turns out a little cheaper than our prices.
A CAFE:
You don't particularly accelerate. Went 1 time before leaving. We took: 3 kebabs (chicken, pork, veal) with a side dish, 1 fish (beluga) to try for everyone, a bottle of wine (at first they brought it to us, opened it and let us try it, would we like it), juice, beer, 1 cocktail (brought 2, one as a gift), gave about 60 euros. After the calculation, they brought us a glass of liquor as a gift, and juice for the child. The waitress constantly came up and asked if we liked everything and if everything was in order.
It is customary to leave 10% of the amount for a tip, which we did, because. were in a very good mood from such a friendly attitude.
DEPARTURE:

We vacated the room at 11.45. At 12.05 we were already taken away, so we did not have to wait long. They took us to the airport, showed us where our check-in was and departed affably with the wishes to return to beautiful Bulgaria, with a great climate, wonderful good-natured people, which we will do... and the hotel - OF COURSE "BAIKAL" !!! !
