Лучший отпуск best holiday

From 30.08 to 6.09 last year (2011) my family went to Bulgaria (me, husband and 4-year-old child). We chose the Albena resort on the advice of friends. Hotel Mura was initially attracted by the price and proximity to the sea. Traveled by car. I will say right away that it is very difficult (1200 km one way without practically stopping, passing 3 borders, driving in Romania with a constant limit of 50 km per hour... arrogant Romanians at the border who did not let a single car through without a bribe. . . ) . But all this was forgotten as soon as we crossed the border of Bulgaria. The smiling border guard immediately made it clear that this is a friendly country. We were also warmly welcomed at the hotel and offered to wait for the check-in at the pool (we arrived at 8 am), where we could have a bite to eat. At 14.00 we settled into the room. When making a reservation (we booked a hotel through the albena. bg website directly without agencies), I indicated my wishes for the room, everything was taken into account. The room is very spacious, overlooking the park, with a sofa for our son. There was a balcony with chairs and a table where we enjoyed the fresh air in the evenings. The weather was very pleasing. The location of the hotel is simply chic: on the one hand, the sea (10 m), on the other, the Balta reserve (right across the road). Several swimming pools, indoor and outdoor, children's playground, sunbeds and umbrellas for free. The food is very tasty and varied. There was also meat (pork, veal, chicken) and fish, and sausages. Delicious desserts and natural apple-peach juice. Ice cream - like in childhood. We must pay tribute to the animation, they also worked perfectly. This year we also plan to return to Albena. Bulgaria conquered us!
