This was our first trip abroad with my wife. We chose Bulgaria to start, namely the small Lion Hotel in the northern part of Sunny Beach. The location of the hotel is quite good. , you should forget about the sea view, but, on the other hand, it is quite calm here in the evenings, unlike the noisy embankment. The public transport stop is located at the very crossroads, buses run regularly. The fare costs 1 lev. than to compare. (1 euro = 1.9 leva) Immediately, young guys in the form of various water parks will literally take you by the hand to a free bus to the water park. We chose the Nessebar water park. It is located away from Nessebar itself, so go for free to this beautiful the old town will not work. In the water park, you can spend either a day or half a day. (15.00-19.00) The cost per adult is 38 and 28 leva, respectively. to a height of 22 meters, it's worth a try, there are easier slopes and all kinds of twisted slides. There are swimming pools, areas for kids, restaurants. At the entrance you are given a special watch, which is actually your electronic wallet. Things can be closed in a separate cell (3 leva ) or in a safe (5 or 10 leva, I don’t remember). I advise you to take things to a minimum.
But, back to the hotel itself, or rather to its location. It takes about 8 minutes to the sea with a lazy walk. Sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach are paid. For 8 leva each. of our Black Sea resorts is the absence of vociferous sellers of any edible stuff. Only a seller with fruits went, and even then he was almost not heard. No baklava, shawarma and shrimp with beer will be sold to you. The sea in July is simply divine: clean and warm, no jellyfish. The view of St. Vlas with its cottages and mountains is magnificent, on the other hand you can see the Nessebar peninsula. For a week, the temperature was stable under 40, especially hot at lunchtime. So for those who like to stay on the beach longer, you should think about an umbrella that you can buy anywhere for 10-12 leva.
The hotel consists of 2 six-story buildings, there are dining rooms on the ground floors. We chose two meals a day (breakfast-dinner) and did not regret it. At lunchtime, you can go on excursions or just take a walk without being attached to dinner at the hotel. . I will not go into the details of the variety of dishes. I will only say that there were no special surpluses, rather ordinary food, fresh vegetables and fruits, meat, side dishes and ice cream for dessert. In the evening, drinks for a fee. Tasty and simple. Juices could be better but overall it's pretty good.

There is Wi-Fi in the hotel lobby, but the speed did not please him. Apparently, many others used us at the same time. As for the hotel guests, there are many Germans and Europeans among them. There are also many Russian speakers. years old, but there were older people with whole families. In the evenings, live music played near the pool, creating a pleasant summer mood and adding a pleasant note to the rest. I liked the pool. Small, but very nice. The hotel rooms are good, clean, cleaned every day.
As for the resort itself, Nessebar is worth a visit. It takes about 15 minutes by bus. It's very beautiful there. An old town with old wooden houses and ancient ruins and churches. And everywhere there is a trade in various souvenirs. What to bring from Bulgaria? Of course, rose cosmetics, which are everywhere here. or buy handmade lace tablecloths in Nessebar.
You can also go to Burgas (6 levs - 35 km. ) or Varna (12 levs - about 90 km. ) In the city you can look for excursions throughout Bulgaria, but it's still cheaper to go on your own. city, not far from the hotel "Kuban" By the way, a little deeper into the resort behind the bus station there is a small two-story supermarket "Mladost". It is red, there are the lowest prices, the locals buy there. -1-1.2 leva. Nectarini-1.89 leva per kg, and in the city -2.5
In the evenings, you can take a promenade along the embankment from the Kuban Hotel to the north. Numerous restaurants will literally lure you to dinner. There should be no problems with the language, Bulgarian is similar to Russian, especially the inscriptions. understand without problems.
What else to add? Enjoy your holiday in sunny Bulgaria!
