Rested in Bulgaria from 18 to 28 July 2011, three adults and a child of 2.5 years. We chose Etatu because I needed home cooking for my child. From the declared standard list there is no hair dryer, microwaves. oven, safe, one pot and one frying pan (how is it possible to cook lunch and dinner in it for a family of 4 people? ). The room is clean, but oooooooooooooooooooooooo modest, with white walls like a hospital. Cleaning in the room: a separate issue, it cannot be said that they do not clean it at all, but the towels were changed only on the 4th day, and the bed was generally changed once during the rest, and then, because I had to go and swear with the administrator!
Yes, an important point: the hotel does not have a reception, so if you suddenly need to ask or ask for something, then there is actually no one ((((and no one will listen to your claims. We wanted to get a stroller for the child (for a fee), but...
The pool for children and adults is combined, so if you like to swim in clear water, then you are out of luck, the children throw different pieces of poop into the pool, and they will remove it only in the morning and then maybe; ) it is generally strangely cleaned, washed on the side with a brush and all the dirt immediately flows into the pool.

The road to the sea lies through other hotels, many descents and ascents, metal steps along a very steep cliff. We went on different versions of the road and we were not satisfied with any of them. It is very hard after a day spent under the sun to climb a mountain with a small child in her arms.
The prices for a deck chair and an umbrella are the same as everywhere in Bulgaria 7 + 7 lev. Beer in a stinky bar on the beach 5 leva (2.5 euros), corn 2.5 leva, etc. eat in a local restaurant 3 main courses, a herring appetizer and Shopska salad, 3 glasses of wine - 145 lev (72 euros), etc. there is nothing cheap in Saint Vlas!
In general, Etara is not really a hotel, these are apartments bought by locals and rented out. Therefore, the conditions in the room may differ... in communication with other vacationers, only for the worse.
We will not go to Bulgaria anymore, especially to Etara!
