Болгары не подкачали! The Bulgarians did not let us down!

We stayed at this hotel from 08/31/2016 to 09/07/2016. The tour was bought from Sunmar, the tour operator met, took me to the hotel, no complaints. Accommodation happened quickly, because we arrived after 14.00. And now for the rest:
1. About the hotel: The hotel positions itself as 5 stars. Probably for Europe this is a weak 5, but there are more likely no complaints than there are . . The rooms are very large, there are many wardrobes and bedside tables where you can put things (oh, finally !! ). There is a refrigerator, free safe, TV with 2 Russian channels, kettle, hair dryer, air conditioning. From the so-called "options": bathrobes, disposable slippers, gels, shampoos, soap, cotton buds, needles and threads, a comb, a sponge for shoes, a shoehorn . . I can't say if gels and shampoos are reported, we had our own. Towels changed every day, bed every 3 days. It was so nice to see dogs, elephants, crocodile, etc. tied up from towels every day. What pleased the service: on the floor in the corridor there is an ironing board and iron (free of charge), so when you come to this hotel you don’t have to worry that your clothes will be wrinkled. Wi-Fi is everywhere and very good catches.
2. Meals: Reading reviews about the hotel, namely about food, I was struck that people write about the scarcity of food . . People, what is for breakfast at your house - 10 replaceable dishes ?? ? We took Breakfast and Dinner. I will say right away that you can take an all-inclusive system to this hotel. You need to check with the tour operator how much you can take cheaper from the tour operator or pay extra on the spot at the hotel. The all-inclusive supplement at the hotel costs 10 lev (5 euros) per day per person. It differs in that you have lunch and until 11 at night spirits (good champagne) and ice cream, as well as soft drinks. In the morning (when eating Z-C) you can drink coffee, tea, b / a drinks, in the evening the same. For breakfast there is porridge, muesli, cereals, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, sausages (meat), sausages, fried bacon, cheeses, yogurts, pastries, fruits, vegetables, coffee, tea. It seems to me that you can not just eat up . . , but overeat (excuse my French). Do not impose yourself all at once in one day and then you can enjoy a varied breakfast every day))). For dinner, there is always a lot of meat, a lot of fresh vegetables, stewed, fish almost every day. Cutlets, kebabs, sausages and vegetables are always grilled on the street. As the dishes run out, they immediately take out new ones. No matter what time you come, everything is always there. The only food that is salty for my taste. There is a children's table. The hotel has animation and sports games. By the end of the season, it was rotten with an adult, it seemed like a child.

3. About the beach: Of course, the hotel was built in a very strange way: two buildings facing each other, between which there is a circular flowerbed and a road. And along this road everyone goes to the beach. The hotel area is not closed, each building has a swimming pool, one semi-closed, the other open, around the hotel's sun loungers. Honestly, we went down at 7 am and occupied sun loungers and umbrellas. Beach towels can be borrowed from the hotel with a deposit. Behind the sun loungers there was a small green lawn, then a footpath to the beaches and a descent to the sea . . It is believed that this is the hotel's beach, but everyone lies on it. The descent on the concrete stairs is comfortable. Sandy coastline of 5 meters, entry into the sea is gradual, so it is possible with small children. We lay by the pool, went swimming in the sea, then swam in the showers by the pool.
4. About the coast: the resort of St. Vlas is not big, but there are places to take a walk. You can go to the port of Marina (I’ll say right there for a big wallet), but it’s very beautiful. You can go to the pedestrian street with many restaurants and shops. Shops such as Chinese-Turkish textiles, Bulgarian cosmetics shops, etc. Restaurants for every budget, go to the street with the main one and it's cheaper there. There are many small supermarkets around the hotel, the prices are approximately the same. If you go out onto the main road, there will be a large supermarket "Mercury", where you can buy everything and at any price. We brought rakia as a gift, there is a huge selection, cheeses (siren, kashkaval). PRICES are really ridiculous compared to other Europe, especially where the euro goes. There is a bus stop on the way to Mercury. From there you can go to the neighboring towns of Sunny Beach (from there to Pomorie or Burgas), Nessebar (walk along the old Nessebar). Also, every 15 minutes, free minibuses drive up to water parks (there are two of them, they didn’t go themselves, but they look cool). We rented a car, a seven-seater minivan, 40 euros per day (ridiculous). We arrived at Sozop and Zheravna. I warn you, they do not have navigators, so stock up on navigators from home, or a map will save you, or if you use the Internet while traveling, then Yandex-navigator.
5. About people: I heard a lot that Bulgarians are rude towards Russians. Not once during the entire vacation did not experience rudeness and ignorance towards themselves. Bulgarians are kind and polite, they respond if you speak Russian with them. They are very sorry that the Russian tourist flow has decreased and they suffer greatly from this.
6. About duty-free: Everything is very expensive there, so if you want to take out something local (alcohol, cheeses or sausages), buy it in a supermarket and put it in your luggage.

7. I went to Bulgaria and was afraid that there would be a Soviet of Deputies . . But she made me happy, very pleased and I probably want to come back again!!! ! And probably this hotel.
