I'll tell you in order.
We went to rest with 3 children - 10.17 and 17 years old - we took 2 separate rooms (we often do this when we are on vacation together - and the children are fine and we are resting).
Departure was from Vinnitsa. Carrier - TPG. This is generally a separate story - always specify what the phrase "comfortable bus" means - because something like Ikarus was carrying us in one direction - Neoplan is not clear what year of manufacture - the knees rest on the front seat, in general 26 hours - solid comfort. At the same time, when after the Bulgarian border the body still passed out - the driver yelled - rise, Golden Sands. Who goes out there - the escort does not know. Before leaving, we changed the hotel 5 times - and this was already after the money had been paid, so the meeting party in Golden Sands said - we will put 3 people in a separate hotel, and 2 more will now be attached somewhere - sit down and wait. I had previously read reviews about Kotva (we did not choose it, as we already said - we changed the hotel after paying for what it was, in general, there was no way to refuse) - and I clearly understood that it was not in Golden Sands, but near Nessebar. And it was still 150 km to go to Nessebar. To which the carrier told me - call Kyiv. In general, after a couple of clarifying questions about who is responsible for all this, he called Kyiv himself. And then oops - a surprise, they are still waiting for us in Kotva. We sit back on the bus - we go to Kotva.....
On the way back, we rode a slightly better bus - 2-story, we were on the 1st floor - the children were sitting at the table, we were behind them. Everything would be fine if at the entrance to Khmelnitsky we were not confronted with the fact that we are now transferring to another bus. A small caveat - you have to wait a bit. Questions - why? and when will they pick us up? - the same excellent carrier answered - "because we did not stand at the border for a long time, we arrived ahead of schedule and this bus should return to Bulgaria. " This caused already simply hysterical laughter. "Not long to wait" after a day on the road and 120 km from home - this meant 2.5 hours. And the bus that picked us up drove to Vinnitsa at a maximum speed of 55 km / h. I really sympathize with the people who went further - to Kyiv. Therefore, my advice to you - ALWAYS find out from the tour operator - who is your carrier, the brand of the vehicle and the features of the move.
Now about Kotva.
We took the all inclusive system, because we were traveling with children. As for me, the hotel barely reaches 3 *, and then if you close your eyes for half of the shortcomings.
We didn’t have any special complaints, only the rooms - the beds were normal, the showers - worked.
The staff at the reception is friendly, we arrived at 10 - we were waiting for check-in until 14:00, as indicated in the description. At 11, they put on bracelets for us - and let us into the "bar", and from half past twelve for lunch...
in the "bar" - from 11 to 17 - sandwiches - a roll with butter and a luminous piece of sausage and cheese, some frightening-looking pies and ice cream in unlimited quantities. Drinking - from 10:30 to 22:30. There is also an apparatus with cola, fanta, sprite and "juice" - an orange and a cherry. Juice - this is very loudly said - rather something like a yuppie....in general, everything is sad.
The proud name of "restaurant" is a canteen with dirty dishes (I'm not saying that it's half beaten) and a chic all-inclusive system. "All" includes:
for breakfast - boiled, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, yesterday's pasta, muesli-yogurt-flakes, yesterday's soup, sluggish cucumber-tomatoes, sluggish watermelon, normal melon, peaches.
for lunch - all the same sluggish cucumbers with tomatoes, mackerel either fried or baked, I don’t know which one yet, the leftovers go to a salad with lettuce, a couple of times there was something like Olivier - only without sausage or meat. A couple of soups - broccoli or with meatballs, or okroshka - just don't think that there was okroshka - they beat cucumbers drenched in kefir, I suspect that they were also wilted.
for dinner - mackerel, chicken and a couple of times there was beef-pork stew - edible And either rice or pasta or buckwheat.
About drinks - nothing to talk about. Sad booze. More or less only their "champagne"
In general, there was an impression of dirt and some kind of staleness. Everything was not today. The Bulgarian and Turkish all-inclusive system - as they say in Odessa - are two big differences.
In addition - somewhere around 85% of the hotel guests are Poles. I have never come across them in such numbers, but they left a very unpleasant feeling. They sit around the pool for days, pick up 25 cocktails at the bar for the night, get drunk, immediately return it all to the floor. You get up in the morning. at 6 o'clock to plunge into the sea - you leave the room and watch the oil painting - millions of plastic cups - both empty and with half-finished cocktails. heaps of rubbish and the characteristic look and smell of vomit......... Cleaning it up starts at 8 o'clock....there is nothing to add.
Next is the beach. The beaches there are mostly public urban, protected with separate free zones. But nearby - there is a very decent hotel with its own. The first days the sea was a little stormy - just jump on the waves - then mega-rescuers ran around and whistled whistles - they drove everyone to the shore, or better, even ashore. Personally, it bothered me a lot. I swim well and my husband and I are responsible for our children, we don’t need to be rescued)) The cost of a sun lounger with an umbrella is 10 lev per person. In greens, this is a little more than 140. It is a lot or a little - everyone decides for himself. The sea is clean, saturated with the smell of iodine, the bottom is flat - and the depth begins after 30 meters from the shore, so whoever has small children can safely stay here.
And separately about Nessebar. Very neat, beautiful and cozy peninsula. The building of the 4-6th century BC, ruins, small intersecting streets lined with paving stones and low stone houses from the bottom and wooden houses from above, hung with pots of flowers - all this creates a unique atmosphere, and certainly leaves a positive impression. There are also enough restaurants with panoramic sea views - which is also good news. In general, we went there every day. You can walk along the embankment - a couple of kilometers, you can drive up on their "trains" - I don't know what they blinded him from - but you can drive a couple of pieces from the hotel to the peninsula.
In general - who wants to relax - he will rest. We would return to Nessebar - definitely yes. Would we return to Kotva - NO.
From the trip, we made the following conclusions for ourselves: in Bulgaria, you need to rent an apartment, or a good hotel - without food. Either drive in your own car or take a plane.
I hope this will be useful to someone.
