We were going to go once again to Bulgaria, there were no vouchers to the hotel (which we knew for sure), I had to be content with what was offered. We read reviews about Phoenix and were a little upset, but....upon arrival everything turned out to be much more optimistic: they settled in five minutes without any problems, a room with a balcony on the sea (I opened my eyes in bed and I see the sea !! ! The room is pretty decent with everything what is needed, except for a kettle, although in some rooms there was. Breakfasts are standard: scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, they are also boiled... fresh vegetables, some two kinds of sausages (I don’t eat them, but my husband ate them on an equal basis with everyone else), pastries are monotonous constantly (cannot be compared with Egypt and Turkey), given that I don’t eat it, there was no suffering, but I tasted it, it’s quite edible. ): raw, baked, stewed, steamed vegetables; meat - chicken is always available, natural beef and all sorts of chopped. Watermelons every day, citrus fruits too, ice cream and pastries.
As for the beach, sunbeds and umbrellas are paid, but since the beach is across the road, we swam in the sea and lay by the pool (sunbeds and umbrellas are free). Well, if you really want the waves to lick your legs, you can stand in the water or a couple of times we lay on towels on the sand. In fact, near the beach, umbrellas and beach mats are sold at the cost of one day of beach chairs. We didn’t use beach chairs out of greed, we just don’t like to lie all day. There, the coast, unlike our native Crimea, which I adore, is free: go as much as you want and wherever you want, we have furrowed it all in one direction and the other.
You go to look at hotels, enjoy the sea breeze... we are not the only ones, many go, USEFUL!

In general, a very cozy atmosphere, some kind of home!
Carriages pulled by a couple of horses (I don’t want to ride), some El-sky cars, bicycles on 3-4 wheels for a companionable walk ride along the streets. Rental of bicycles, scooters, etc. Trams on wheels scurry back and forth... Everything is conducive to relaxation!
Attractions, all kinds of water entertainment! What else does?
Restaurants every 10 meters, shops and supermarkets abound and you don’t have to go far, though we went to the Mladost supermarket, where the cheapest prices are: for example, three bottles of beer for the cost of two in everyone else, and all products.
In general, prices for products in Bulgaria are the same as in Ukraine (not even in the metropolis)!
Entertainment is full! You can visit Nesseber on your own: buses cost only 1 lev with an interval of 10-20 minutes. The island is very cozy (under the protection of UNESCO), you can spend the whole day in pleasure. You can also go there by boat 20lev per person, and an excursion 40lev. but you won’t learn anything special from the guide, it will just tie you in time.
Whoever has not been anywhere yet, you can visit a number of interesting places, it’s cheaper to buy a tour not at a hotel, but at agencies - there are a lot of them (where it’s cheaper, where it’s more expensive, first ask the price, don’t rush to buy right away). probably tired of reading, maybe already before that places and did not finish reading : ).
The hotel is clean, they clean it every day, though in this hotel it’s probably strained with detergents : ), once they put everything, I tried to clean everything in the hope that they would update it, but they didn’t spare toilet paper!
If it is useful to someone, I will be glad, before I go I “rummage around” according to the reviews. In a word, the holiday was a success and if you still have to go to this hotel, I will not have anything against it!
