Райское яблочко с гнильцой. Paradise apple with rot.

Rest time July 20 -August 3.2010 Rested with two children 1.5 and 12 years old. We lived in an apartment with 1 bedroom, sea view - Sea View (surcharge 3 tr. ) Olivia complex. Upon arrival, we were quickly accommodated, we were taken to the room in an electric car. The apartment has a kitchen-living room with a balcony and a bedroom. There is a stove, refrigerator, microwave, kettle, etc. A big minus is only one pan - since the youngest child was cooked by himself, it is very inconvenient. Pleased with the presence of a washing machine, ironing board and iron. LCD TV. Linen is changed once a week, the algorithm for changing towels remained a mystery to me, if necessary, they washed themselves. On the third day of rest, a hurricane passed, after which the electricity was cut off for two days. Although the restaurant had a backup power supply, we were not allowed to cook food for the child, we had to feed it with a mixture diluted with cold purchased water and canned food with cold buckwheat porridge (luckily it was cooked in advance). After that, the electricity was turned off almost daily for 5-30 minutes. Moreover, information about the shutdown appeared by the end of the second day in the form of a modest piece of paper on the doors of the store.
Shop "supermarket". There is soap-powder, beer-water-wine-vodka, and cheese-sausage. Fruits and vegetables are of dubious quality. Meat - frozen chicken. We bought groceries in a nearby complex in the Arena Shop. 10 min. walk towards St. Vlas.
St. Vlas - one street with shops, you can buy souvenirs. From the reception you can take a car round trip for 10 leva. I do not advise walking, because. You will have to walk along the roadway. There is no sidewalk.

You can also go to Nessebar by taxi 20-25 Levs there, back taxi drivers ask twice as much, so it makes sense to agree with the one who brought it on the way back.
Sea beach. By and large, there is neither one nor the other. The beach is small, filled with sunbeds so that it is difficult to pass. (Sunbeds and umbrellas for 3 Leva). The entrance to the sea is rocky, you can hurt your legs. Surprised by the abundance of algae. I have never seen such a thing. They are cleaned, but apparently not very actively, so sometimes you just can’t go into the water! Those algae that washed ashore lie, decompose and stink. A pipe of treatment facilities goes out to the sea to the left of the complex. After the hurricane, it was apparently torn off from the bottom, and for three days, 50 meters from the beach, on the surface of the water, one could see an eruption of sewage. So after this discovery, we no longer swam in the sea. About the smell of sewage - the truth - haunts the entire territory.
The territory of the complex. Quite large, you can walk, there is a playground. There really are no large trees, but the flower beds are well-groomed and pleasing to the eye. The grass on the lawns is regularly mowed and watered. Since the complex stands on a mountain, all paths have a slope and steps. By the way, there are exactly 90 of them to the sea. True, there is an elevator. Many pools 6 or 7. The largest one is near the restaurant where we ate.
Nutrition. Took half board. Breakfast is the usual - vegetables-fruits-cuts-sausages-eggs. But dinners surprised by the abundance of dishes. There are fish and pork and chicken and turkey and beef and meatballs and salads, etc. , etc. Everything is delicious. True, drinks at dinner are paid.
Summary. Quiet place for families with children. And if you do not need a beach, but just admire the sea from your room and swim in the pool, you will like it. Did we like it? Yes, we had a good rest. Will we go there again? Definitely not.
