Впечатления об отдыхе в Болгарии Holiday impressions in Bulgaria

We rested at the Golden Yavor Hotel from 07/07/2011 to 07/21/2011. We went to Bulgaria for the first time and probably will hardly ever return there. We liked the hotel. We lived in an apartment on the 3rd floor, a room with 2 large rooms, a kitchenette in the living room (electric stove, extractor hood, refrigerator, sink), TV (satellite caught 3 Russian-language channels), from 2 rooms there is access to one large balcony. There was a table and chairs on the balcony. Bathroom combined. There were no issues with housekeeping. They cleaned every day, quite carefully (the plumbing was torn out so that not everyone has such a house), towels were changed every day, bedding after 2 days. We did not leave a tip every day, when we left we left 5 euros. The only thing that was embarrassing in the hotel was the battered carpet in the corridors. Meals we had HB (breakfast, dinner). We really regretted not taking the all inclusive. The food is excellent, although the breakfasts are monotonous (scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs, sausages), but the dinner is magnificent and varied. Outside the hotel food is very expensive and you can not guess with the choice of restaurant. To the sea from the hotel 3-5 minutes. On the beaches, umbrellas, sun loungers for 8 lev (4 euros), expensive, so many sunbathed in the free zone, there is always enough space on it. The sea is clean, the bottom is sandy, smooth, without stones. This is about the hotel, and now about Bulgaria. It's just awful. If in one word - "scoop" in the worst case. The cities are terrible, the roads are all in patches, the pavements are broken, the houses are shabby and covered with spray cans. We were told that the most beautiful city is Varna. We went and wasted our time, we didn’t even know what to take pictures against. There are few excursions on the coast (5-6), and they are not worth it to go there, believe me, waste your time. The Golden Sands themselves are very reminiscent of the southern coast of Crimea, the streets strewn with stalls and restaurants. In general, you won’t see much exotic, European gloss too.
