Good afternoon everyone. The holiday with two children was tolerable - the rooms have only two single beds, which slide into a pile, but also successfully pushed apart. We went 2 + 2, but this is not for this hotel, as there is no such possibility. We took another room with folding chairs and it's awful - it's just impossible to sleep and so we suffered in chairs with my wife, and the children slept on the beds.

Good afternoon everyone.
The holiday with two children was tolerable - the rooms have only two single beds, which slide into a pile, but also successfully pushed apart. We went 2 + 2, but this is not for this hotel, as there is no such possibility. We took another room with folding chairs and it's awful - it's just impossible to sleep and so we suffered in chairs with my wife, and the children slept on the beds. The food is monotonous and soon bored the children, my wife, and in the end me. The cleanliness of the rooms and the hotel as a whole wants to be better. Good location - 1st line and clean sea. The only ray of light in this not-yet-dark realm is the administrator of SVITLANA, who will listen, understand your problem and make every effort to solve it.
Thank you, Ms. Svetlana, for the pleasant communication during the "holiday".

We went with the family on the advice of a colleague who was vacationing there in 2012, according to all catalogs of the Atrium Hotel 4 stars, on arrival it turned out to be 3. We flew from Brest through the Tez-tour. The flight and transfer went well without incident. The check-in went quickly and without delay, although our friends arrived 2 days before us from Minsk and settled with a scandal.

We went with the family on the advice of a colleague who was vacationing there in 2012, according to all catalogs of the Atrium Hotel 4 stars, on arrival it turned out to be 3. We flew from Brest through the Tez-tour. The flight and transfer went well without incident. The check-in went quickly and without delay, although our friends arrived 2 days before us from Minsk and settled with a scandal. I liked the local nature, the mountains and the sea right away, the sea is literally 10 meters from the hotel, the beach is sandy, it is cleaned regularly, the entrance to the sea is sandy, but in some places there are stones on the first day, out of ignorance, I hit my foot painfully, the sun loungers are old, broken on all of them I had to borrow enough either in the evening or early in the morning. The food is poorly organized. In the dining room, which the hotel staff proudly calls a restaurant, complete unsanitary conditions reign, there are simply not enough dishes for everyone, the food is monotonous, used dishes are not cleaned regularly from the tables, the tablecloths are dirty, greasy, the dishes are not always washed well, fruits and sweets are taken out once a day. beginning and no longer replenish. But what was most outrageous was the fact that on the third day of rest we were all transferred to eat in the dining room of Andalusia, where the mess is even worse, they motivated this by the fact that their staff is seasonal and on September 1 they were all fired. To our claims, the hotel manager only laughed in response and said that she could not do anything. The room was cleaned daily, but it was very poor quality, mainly it consisted in making the beds, they vacuumed the room 2 times for the whole time, and our friends were cleaned 2 times during 11 days of rest, and even then after swearing at the reception. The animation was so unobtrusive that we didn't even notice it. We went on an excursion to the Bulgarian village, we booked an excursion at the market near the hotel, it costs 30 percent cheaper than through the Tez-tour, I really liked it, I recommend it to everyone, We went to Nessebar, you can take a walk on Sunny Beach for a change. On the 4-5th day of rest, they began to count the days before flying home and envied a little those who were leaving. This is how our vacation in Bulgaria turned out, after which we decided that we would never go to Bulgaria again.

Good afternoon everyone! ! ! (evening, night, morning) and good mood, regardless of the time of day when you read my opus.

Good afternoon everyone! ! ! (evening, night, morning) and good mood, regardless of the time of day when you read my opus.
For all those who want to buy property in Bulgaria, but feel a certain sense of anxiety and fear of being abandoned by realtors or developers, or making the wrong choice in favor of a particular region, location of the complex or price category of Bulgarian real estate, I want to dedicate this story.
HOW I CHOOSE AND BUY A PROPERTY IN BULGARIA
A little about myself: I work as a deputy editor-in-chief of one of the Russian publications (in connection with which I inform you in advance that I approached the writing of this story with all responsibility, double-checked and corrected the mistakes several times, I did not receive money for this and did not advertise to anyone!
), 34 years old, unmarried, I love travelling, beautiful varied recreation, adventures and adventures - on the one hand, peace and quiet - on the other (depending on the mood and life situation - anything can happen in life). I am writing from my own apartment in Bulgaria. I just want to share my experience and impressions and help a little those people who just want to buy property in Bulgaria.
Why did I decide to buy property in Bulgaria?
1. I believe that every citizen of Russia (citizens of Ukraine and Belarus are no exception) - not only for a comfortable and inexpensive holiday, but also just in case (politics, wars, crime, set-ups, assaults, etc. ) MUST have real estate somewhere abroad. Have YOUR second home OUTSIDE the country of residence (the laws of economics! )!
2. Bulgaria is close to our Slavic brother not only in spirit, mentality, but also in cuisine, language, culture, climate, etc.
3.
Bulgaria is a member of the European Union, and real estate prices are still, Thank God, far from the prices of the European Union.
4. The Black Sea, climate, ecology, products (vegetables and fruits, meat and dairy products) - the quality is much better than Russian ones, ...and most importantly - PRICES)))
5. Ease of buying and registering real estate for foreign citizens. legal component. Risks. Maintenance costs. (Before buying an apartment in Bulgaria - I analyzed the possibility of buying inexpensive resort real estate in Greece, Spain, Turkey and Egypt - God forbid!! ! ! ). If you are wondering why - ask questions - I will be happy to answer!
...In general, believe it or not, but in the 2 years that I have chosen a country, a resort, a complex, an apartment, I consider myself a real expert in the field of foreign real estate and I am sure that I bought myself an apartment in the BEST place in Europe (according to the classification price-quality-location-nature-ecology-standard of living, etc. ).
Having missed everything why I chose Bulgaria among several European countries (you can write a book), I inform you that in the spring of 2012 I chose Bulgaria. Having bought a bunch of guidebooks around Bulgaria, visiting exhibitions on foreign real estate, typing catalogs, etc. - I sat down at the computer and for a month studied everything that I needed to know about Bulgaria itself and the possibility of buying holiday apartments in this country , and the complexes themselves, their rating among property owners, pricing policy, reviews on forums and much more.
And so, having bought plane tickets on the Moscow-Burgas route in June 2012, I set myself the task of personally studying the ALL territory of the region from Burgas to Elenite, real estate pricing policy, living comfort, sea and beach quality, infrastructure, service and much more other. To do this, I rented apartments in different complexes by the sea (from the very beginning, for me, there was no question of an apartment in a residential area far from the sea - I was not going to shell out several tens of thousands of euros for an apartment in a seaside resort and at the same time walk in the heat of a hundred meters to the sea and back with a full set of beach accessories and water sandwiches) for 2 months and compiled a table with the pros and cons of a particular property in a particular region and complex.
I lived in many good complexes both within walking distance to the sea and right on the coastline.
But the vacation was coming to an end, and the soul did not lie in any of the complexes. I have already begun to think that in Bulgaria - a flight! . .
And so, at the end of my vacation, there was the “last” region on my list - Elenite.
Initially, I was skeptical about this region.
Firstly, this is the outskirts of the resort, which is part of Sunny Beach, and secondly, there was a fear that this resort was some kind of “outsider” by Moscow standards ....
But I was pleasantly disappointed! "")))))))
On the very first day, being in Elenite, I realized that THIS is exactly the place where I would like to have an apartment!
Only 2 weeks of living in Elenite in the Atrium Beach complex convinced me of the correctness of my choice. A shiver ran through my body, I felt unity with this place, I exclaimed: “Oh, God! I want to live HERE! ". And that's why:
1. As it turned out, Elenite has the cleanest sea and the cleanest air.
2.
Elenite is a closed, tightly guarded mini-town with its own infrastructure, five hotels, complexes with apartments and villas, restaurants and bars, swimming pools and playgrounds, discos and nightclubs, and has its own Aqua Park. And the center of Sunny Beach resort is only 7 minutes away by bus.
3. Silence, tranquility, mountains, sea, air, a huge green area with parks and walking areas, sea breeze, evening coolness - one of the paradises on earth ! ! !
4. Earlier on the territory of Elenite was the Residence of the former communist leader of Bulgaria Todor Zhivkov - and this says a lot! And translated from Bulgarian, Elenite means deer. Yes, yes, deer. And all because in the forests and parks that surround the territory of the Elenite complex you can meet real deer.
5.
Own beautiful sandy beach with a length of about one kilometer, which is cleaned every evening by special machines.
6. Not the highest price per square meter, but the price that is on the market is worth it in this case.
7. Unlike other complexes - at least in the Atrium Beach complex - the rooms are quite large and spacious.
8. Always operating office of the management company directly on the territory of the resort. Solve any problems within minutes.
9. Opportunity to rent out purchased apartments through a management company or through local realtors.
10. And much, much more…….
In general, in my table, Elenite scored 98%, yielding only a small share of finishing and the availability of parking for personal vehicles outside the complex.
(At the same time, you can change the decoration in your apartment at your discretion with all sorts of bells and whistles for quite a bit of money, put Italian furniture or order a set of furniture and appliances from the management company for only 800 euros! ).
I want to make a reservation right away that my friends, who bought apartments in other complexes and visited me, concluded that they were in a hurry to buy their property in Bulgaria in one or another complex and envy me with white envy in what kind of apartment I bought myself in Elenite.
So, having lived a little in the Atrium Beach complex and having analyzed the pricing policy, I nevertheless bought in August 2012 a two-room apartment of 78 square meters with a view not only of the sea, but also of the beautiful green mountains.
What a year later I do not regret at all.
And now a little about the resort itself and real estate prices in Elenite.
After analyzing ALL properties in Elenite last year, I came to the conclusion that the best and most popular both for living and for renting out are the Atrium Beach and Andalusia complexes.
Firstly, both of these complexes are located right on the beach (the sea is only 10-15 meters from the entrance), the apartments of these complexes have the BEST views of the sea, mountains, Sunny Beach resort, fountains or pools ...
Secondly - to the entire infrastructure, including to neighboring (outside the complex) restaurants, a market and a supermarket - the closest distance.
The only thing that distinguishes Andalusia from the Atrium is the squaring of the apartments. In Andalusia, the apartments are small, while in the Atrium they are large and spacious (not to be confused with the Atrium hotel rooms, which are also small in size). That's why I chose the Atrium - which has spacious apartments and stunning views from the windows and terraces.
Thirdly, I pay ONLY 750 euros per year for the maintenance of my apartments. This amount is equal to 2 weeks of renting the apartment to tourists through the management company, which covers ALL my maintenance costs. The entire period that the apartments are rented for more than 2 weeks is a net profit, pleasantly pleasing the owner of the apartment when he comes to rest.
Fourth - a stunning view from the windows and each of the terraces. Yes Yes!! ! . . And in the room and in the bedroom I have a terrace! With a view of the sea, the resort of Sunny Beach, the gorgeous powerful mountains!
Fifth (and most importantly! ) - the cleanest sea, a beach 1 km long, ecology. What clean air! !
Sixth - no mosquitoes, no cockroaches, no other rodents and insects besieging Moscow, Kyiv, Minsk, etc. apartments.
Ask if there are any cons!? ? ?
There is no place on Earth that someone, by virtue of their views, has not found minuses! This is where I found the cons.
The main disadvantage is “my dear Muscovites”! Yes, yes ...Anyone who has visited ANY hotel in ANY country in the world will meet with the problem that there will ALWAYS be a couple of individuals with raspers and bullshit. And it will not necessarily be representatives of TaGi-Gi-Gil)))) In this case, I met mostly “fancy”, with fingering, dissatisfied “ladies” with insanely arrogant kids! for whom everything is bad here, no one fucks them, squealing about a weak hotel “guzzler” without black caviar with mussels, heaped yogurts with bifiobacteria for their impudent young offspring (excuse me for writing, because children are not to blame for their upbringing), etc. e. And as a result, they pour out their arrogance and dissatisfaction with life on tourist forums. But, if you set yourself up for the positive and do not pay attention to these "representatives" of our society, then this minus may not be noticed.
Moreover, if you are the OWNER of real estate in Elenite, then YOU are the Owners here, and not these so-called "Lords"!
The second minus (mainly it concerns tourists) is the mass character. Elenite resort has more than 5000 properties for living and leisure tourists. Therefore, for those who love parties and new acquaintances, this is Paradise. For those who love a quiet beach holiday - you need to go a little east of the beach and retire in splendid isolation and complete silence at the foot of beautiful green mountains. (By the way, it is there that you may be lucky enough to meet and get acquainted with a charming blonde or brunette of 20-25 years old, sunbathing topless or, lo and behold, completely without signs of clothing! )
If you are the Owner of the apartment and are not in a hurry, you didn’t come for a week with the obligation to eat and work off the money spent on vacation, then it doesn’t matter to you what time you go out or don’t go out at all today to the beach to fry your body like a well-fed shrimp.
Today, for example, I decided to sunbathe and swim in the sea. Went to the beach at 9:30 am. There were several free sunbeds. But what about that couple of negative reviews on the forum (for sure, envious competitors wrote or THESE “fat Moscow” aunts) that you can’t find sunbeds already at 5 in the morning with fire?
Maybe at 5 in the morning they can’t be found (these fingered Moscow ladies may send their henpecked husbands to occupy a sunbed at 5 in the morning), but at 9.30 it’s the height of breakfast, and all these “fat” aunts gobble up at the speed of sound your All Inclusive. And I calmly spread my towel on a free sunbed, take sunbaths and enjoy swimming in the sea.
And I have breakfast, lunch or dinner when I want and what I want and at a price ten times cheaper than this All Inclusive for tourists. And in the supermarket, without undue affectation, I can always buy seafood, and red or black caviar.
Willy-nilly, I moved on to prices.
Let's start with food prices.
For one All Inclusive tourist per day in Yelenia, it costs 60 Bulgarian leva (about 30 euros). ON A HUMAN! ! ! , I repeat.
For this money, I am alone in my own apartment, eating once a day in a restaurant adjacent to the complex, salad + first + garnish with grilled meat or fish + 2 glasses of beer, and the rest of the time I cook for myself when and how much I want, I will live 4 days. And if you do not eat in a restaurant, but ALWAYS cook yourself, then all week. At the same time, it will be honest to note that once a week you will have to spend about 5-6 euros on sugar, mayonnaise, potatoes, water drinks, sunflower oil, etc. , which is spent gradually. Alcohol for an additional price.
(Whiskey and vodka - Russian or Ukrainian, oddly enough, in a local supermarket is 10-15% cheaper, and Bulgarian wines from 1.5 euros for a bottle of 0.7 liters. At the same time, products from Ukraine and Russia are available in the supermarket at prices lower than in Russia! ) But anyway - it's MUCH cheaper and more pleasant! . And variety in food. Don't want to cook? Eat 3 times in a restaurant for a maximum of 10-12 euros per day per person. Still CHEAPER! ! !
And now about real estate prices in the Elenite resort, and in Atrium Beach in particular.
The developer of the entire resort of Elenite is the Bulgarian company Victoria Group - one of the leaders in the market of resort real estate and the tourist business in Bulgaria. In general, one of the largest, reliable and promising companies. To the envy of competitors, which are difficult to call competitors.
At the moment, the developer has no more than a dozen apartments left in the Atrium Beach complex at a price of 125.000 euros (and all the remaining apartments without sea or mountain views).
But, while living last year (2012) in the Atrium, on the beach I met one of the owners of apartments in the Atrium, who made me think that you can buy not directly from the developer, but from owners from Russia or Ukraine. And, as a rule, due to the prevailing certain life and financial situations, the owners sell their property much cheaper than the developer.
And so I began to create a new table with the pros and cons of buying apartments in Yelenia from the developer or from the owners (secondary).
And, like last time with a table about the advantages of buying apartments in a particular complex, I chose to buy apartments in Elenite in the Atrium Beach complex, still from the owner (secondary), and here are the main parameters, in my opinion:
1. Real estate from the owner is 25-30% cheaper than from the developer. And this is a huge plus.
2. Those apartments that the developer has left are fully exploited by the management company for renting to tourists. So it's not a fact that by buying from the developer, you get "virgin" apartments.
And, having bought the same apartments from the owners, you perfectly understand that the "run" of tourists to these apartments was either limited or not observed at all and, accordingly, they are in a better condition.
3. If you are a sane buyer, then you probably understand that the developer has the most slow-moving apartments left. All the best are already sold out!
And, therefore, the owner, who sells the secondary housing, has more respectable apartments than the developer has left.
4. I bought an apartment of 78 sq. m. with stunning views of the sea, the bay of Sunny Beach and the mountains for only 110.000 euros (the seller gave me 15.000 euros, and this is another +), while the developer has an apartment of only 70 sq. meters, two floors lower (which means the view is worse) and with a view of the neighboring Andalusia complex (without a view of the sea or mountains - the developer has none left) costs 135.000 euros.
5. I bought an apartment fully equipped with furniture, appliances, kitchen and bedding, and this is another +.
6. Registration at the notary in just one day for 80 euros.
7. With the seller (and he still has 1 apartment for sale in the Atrium and he lives in another), we are now friends and help each other in everything. And sometimes we have small talk over a bottle of whiskey))).
eight.
As for the cost of apartments in Elenite, this price is above average from the average price for real estate in Sunny Beach. But the price is worth the quality and infrastructure! ! ! And according to my calculations, it is possible to beat off the difference between the minimum price of the Sunny Beach region and the price in Elenite in a couple of years. By rent, if you so desire. In July-August, it is almost impossible to book a free apartment in the Atrium - everything is rented out.
In any case, the price of apartments in Elenite has not fallen since the beginning of the crisis in 2008, despite the fact that the price of real estate in other regions of Sunny Beach has fallen by 10-15%.
And now about MY life in Atrium Beach!
So the time has come when I, young and handsome, unmarried and promising Deputy Editor-in-Chief of one of the fashionable Russian publications, who earned my hard-earned honest labor and, having made my dream come true, flew on June 6.2013 to my own apartment in the most beautiful corner planets - the Atrium Beach complex, to the Bulgarian resort of Elenite.
I was well aware that on the first day of my arrival I would have to “sweat”: wash and tear everything, disinfect toilet bowls, washbasins, wash furniture walls, etc. I’m just squeamish and I love cleanliness and order in everything! ! !
Arrived in Burgas at 10.30 am. The day before arrival, I ordered a transfer from the Elenite management company from Burgas Airport to Elenite.
Upon leaving the airport, I was met by a driver who, despite my protests, took away my heavy suitcase from me (I foolishly bought pots, plates, pans in Moscow ...but in the end it turned out that in Bulgaria it is much cheaper - this is the moment utensils, I just missed on the last trip) and brought it to the car. The transfer cost me 50 leva (25 euros). If you take a taxi at the airport - it's 60-80 leva.
Upon arrival in Elenite, I immediately went to the office of the Elenite management company. Great people work there: director Stanimir and manager Laura. Their work is unbeatable. Every hour, apartment owners turn to them - fix something ... , repair that ... , solve a problem with that ... , a leaf on a palm tree has dried up - it needs to be cut off, a pebble has formed on the beach - it needs to be removed, etc. ........
Kudos to them and respect! ! !
…After waiting for some time, I received the keys to my apartment and a utility bill for 2013.
Having studied the invoice a little, I asked about the numbers indicated in the invoice and decided to find out what it means in the Total amount -255.00 euros. The manager Laura explained to me that from the moment of my purchase of the apartment until the moment of my arrival, my apartment was rented out (with my consent, of course), and the amount of payment to my hands was 1005 euros for rent. Minus 750 euros for maintenance in 2013. Total to me to pay on hand 255 euros.
Ask if there are gifts of fate in life?
Answer: YES! ! !
I received such a gift on June 6.2013. Not only did I fly to my own apartment in Bulgaria, which I bought in August 2012, they also paid me 255 euros!! ! : -)))) for rent. I'm positively SHOCKED! ! ! These grandmothers will be enough for me for my 2 months of rest, and I will treat the girls with champagne))).
…And so I open the door of MY apartments in Bulgaria, go in as the Owner, check the availability of the equipment in the apartment. And… Oh Horror! ! ! !
Missing microwave! ! !
I don’t even understand how the tourists who rented my apartment managed to steal a microwave! ! ! But Russian tourists are ready for everything ! ! !
Laura immediately called Stanimir, the director of the management company. Grey-brown-crimson faces… they speak Bulgarian – I didn’t understand anything. I understood only one thing - sorry, after 20 minutes, everything is ok ! ! !
Less than 15 minutes later I had a NEW microwave in my room! ! ! In addition, they brought NEW! ! ! set of bed linen and towels.
What do you say, people! ? !
As soon as I accepted the apartment, I immediately went with my godfather to St. Vlas (2 stops from Elenite, 3 minutes drive, 1 euro per ticket) and bought all sorts of little things (mops, buckets, rags, brushes, detergents, plates, cups, spoons, forks and etc. ). Everything cost 25 euros.
They returned, washed and disinfected everything ...Everything glitters and sparkles, like a virgin before her wedding night.
And then I realized that I was very tired and I should have dinner and drink beer.
At 15.25 hours. The supermarket is open until 22.00. I went out to the store, bought beer, sausages, cheese, water, cola, tomatoes, cucumbers, all sorts of things for 20 euros - enough for a week (in Moscow, at best, everything would cost 50 euros). They also bought whiskey for 15 euros - to celebrate the arrival (the price from Moscow Duti-free is 3 euros cheaper), a couple of bottles of wine and champagne in reserve.
I want to note right away that I received another positive shock (this day was a day of super-positive emotions! ). Tomato-cucumbers - the charm itself! Sausage meat is 10-20 percent cheaper. A variety of cheeses, sausages, preservation. Inexpensive beer and wine. A variety of fruits and berries: strawberries, cherries, peaches, apricots…
My apartment! : -)))
Still, it's GREAT! ! ! - to have your own apartments in the BEST complex in Sunny Beach! ! ! I am cool! ! ! Aaaaaa - I'm still a cool guy! ! !
I cooked dinner - “A la restaurant on Rublyovka! ”, in a “criminal” way, arranged the cuts on a table on the terrace, cherries, strawberries, apricots and peaches in a thieves way, like in a movie, laid out on a freshly bought fruit vase, froze ice for whiskey, beer, wine and champagne in the refrigerator … I invited my new acquaintances to dinner and celebrate a housewarming party… A stunning view of the sea, a view of the mountains… We are watching fireworks somewhere in the distance in Sunny Beach!
Sea breeze, light breeze, not hot at a temperature of +28.
All evening we enjoy this Paradise, sitting on the terrace! ! ! We drink whiskey with ice. We have a bite of sausage and cheese products, we try peaches and apricots… All the talk that life is still a success… In general, we are basking!
I don’t regret for a second that I bought an apartment in Atrium Beach and made my dream come true! ) I'm the coolest guy in the world! ! !
I advise everyone - real estate buyers or tourists: Your best and unforgettable vacation ONLY in Elenite! ! !
For all those who want to buy property in Bulgaria, but feel a certain sense of anxiety and fear of being abandoned by realtors or developers, or making the wrong choice in favor of a particular region, location of the complex or price category of Bulgarian real estate, I want to dedicate this story.
HOW I CHOOSE AND BUY A PROPERTY IN BULGARIA
A little about myself: I work as a deputy editor-in-chief of one of the Russian publications (in connection with which I inform you in advance that I approached the writing of this story with all responsibility, double-checked and corrected the mistakes several times, I did not receive money for this and did not advertise to anyone!

Yes, yes, deer. And all because in the forests and parks that surround the territory of the Elenite complex you can meet real deer.
5.
Own beautiful sandy beach with a length of about one kilometer, which is cleaned every evening by special machines.
6. Not the highest price per square meter, but the price that is on the market is worth it in this case.
7. Unlike other complexes - at least in the Atrium Beach complex - the rooms are quite large and spacious.
8. Always operating office of the management company directly on the territory of the resort. Solve any problems within minutes.
9. Opportunity to rent out purchased apartments through a management company or through local realtors.
10. And much, much more…….
In general, in my table, Elenite scored 98%, yielding only a small share of finishing and the availability of parking for personal vehicles outside the complex.
(At the same time, you can change the decoration in your apartment at your discretion with all sorts of bells and whistles for quite a bit of money, put Italian furniture or order a set of furniture and appliances from the management company for only 800 euros! ).
I want to make a reservation right away that my friends, who bought apartments in other complexes and visited me, concluded that they were in a hurry to buy their property in Bulgaria in one or another complex and envy me with white envy in what kind of apartment I bought myself in Elenite.
So, having lived a little in the Atrium Beach complex and having analyzed the pricing policy, I nevertheless bought in August 2012 a two-room apartment of 78 square meters with a view not only of the sea, but also of the beautiful green mountains.
What a year later I do not regret at all.
And now a little about the resort itself and real estate prices in Elenite.
After analyzing ALL properties in Elenite last year, I came to the conclusion that the best and most popular both for living and for renting out are the Atrium Beach and Andalusia complexes.
Firstly, both of these complexes are located right on the beach (the sea is only 10-15 meters from the entrance), the apartments of these complexes have the BEST views of the sea, mountains, Sunny Beach resort, fountains or pools ...
Secondly - to the entire infrastructure, including to neighboring (outside the complex) restaurants, a market and a supermarket - the closest distance.
The only thing that distinguishes Andalusia from the Atrium is the squaring of the apartments. In Andalusia, the apartments are small, while in the Atrium they are large and spacious (not to be confused with the Atrium hotel rooms, which are also small in size). That's why I chose the Atrium - which has spacious apartments and stunning views from the windows and terraces.
Thirdly, I pay ONLY 750 euros per year for the maintenance of my apartments. This amount is equal to 2 weeks of renting the apartment to tourists through the management company, which covers ALL my maintenance costs. The entire period that the apartments are rented for more than 2 weeks is a net profit, pleasantly pleasing the owner of the apartment when he comes to rest.
Fourth - a stunning view from the windows and each of the terraces. Yes Yes!! ! . . And in the room and in the bedroom I have a terrace! With a view of the sea, the resort of Sunny Beach, the gorgeous powerful mountains!
Fifth (and most importantly! ) - the cleanest sea, a beach 1 km long, ecology. What clean air! !
Sixth - no mosquitoes, no cockroaches, no other rodents and insects besieging Moscow, Kyiv, Minsk, etc. apartments.
Ask if there are any cons!? ? ?
There is no place on Earth that someone, by virtue of their views, has not found minuses! This is where I found the cons.
The main disadvantage is “my dear Muscovites”! Yes, yes ...Anyone who has visited ANY hotel in ANY country in the world will meet with the problem that there will ALWAYS be a couple of individuals with raspers and bullshit. And it will not necessarily be representatives of TaGi-Gi-Gil)))) In this case, I met mostly “fancy”, with fingering, dissatisfied “ladies” with insanely arrogant kids! for whom everything is bad here, no one fucks them, squealing about a weak hotel “guzzler” without black caviar with mussels, heaped yogurts with bifiobacteria for their impudent young offspring (excuse me for writing, because children are not to blame for their upbringing), etc. e. And as a result, they pour out their arrogance and dissatisfaction with life on tourist forums. But, if you set yourself up for the positive and do not pay attention to these "representatives" of our society, then this minus may not be noticed.
Moreover, if you are the OWNER of real estate in Elenite, then YOU are the Owners here, and not these so-called "Lords"!
The second minus (mainly it concerns tourists) is the mass character. Elenite resort has more than 5000 properties for living and leisure tourists. Therefore, for those who love parties and new acquaintances, this is Paradise. For those who love a quiet beach holiday - you need to go a little east of the beach and retire in splendid isolation and complete silence at the foot of beautiful green mountains. (By the way, it is there that you may be lucky enough to meet and get acquainted with a charming blonde or brunette of 20-25 years old, sunbathing topless or, lo and behold, completely without signs of clothing! )
If you are the Owner of the apartment and are not in a hurry, you didn’t come for a week with the obligation to eat and work off the money spent on vacation, then it doesn’t matter to you what time you go out or don’t go out at all today to the beach to fry your body like a well-fed shrimp.
Today, for example, I decided to sunbathe and swim in the sea. Went to the beach at 9:30 am. There were several free sunbeds. But what about that couple of negative reviews on the forum (for sure, envious competitors wrote or THESE “fat Moscow” aunts) that you can’t find sunbeds already at 5 in the morning with fire?
Maybe at 5 in the morning they can’t be found (these fingered Moscow ladies may send their henpecked husbands to occupy a sunbed at 5 in the morning), but at 9.30 it’s the height of breakfast, and all these “fat” aunts gobble up at the speed of sound your All Inclusive. And I calmly spread my towel on a free sunbed, take sunbaths and enjoy swimming in the sea.
And I have breakfast, lunch or dinner when I want and what I want and at a price ten times cheaper than this All Inclusive for tourists. And in the supermarket, without undue affectation, I can always buy seafood, and red or black caviar.
Willy-nilly, I moved on to prices.
Let's start with food prices.
For one All Inclusive tourist per day in Yelenia, it costs 60 Bulgarian leva (about 30 euros). ON A HUMAN! ! ! , I repeat.
For this money, I am alone in my own apartment, eating once a day in a restaurant adjacent to the complex, salad + first + garnish with grilled meat or fish + 2 glasses of beer, and the rest of the time I cook for myself when and how much I want, I will live 4 days. And if you do not eat in a restaurant, but ALWAYS cook yourself, then all week. At the same time, it will be honest to note that once a week you will have to spend about 5-6 euros on sugar, mayonnaise, potatoes, water drinks, sunflower oil, etc. , which is spent gradually. Alcohol for an additional price.
(Whiskey and vodka - Russian or Ukrainian, oddly enough, in a local supermarket is 10-15% cheaper, and Bulgarian wines from 1.5 euros for a bottle of 0.7 liters. At the same time, products from Ukraine and Russia are available in the supermarket at prices lower than in Russia! ) But anyway - it's MUCH cheaper and more pleasant! . And variety in food. Don't want to cook? Eat 3 times in a restaurant for a maximum of 10-12 euros per day per person. Still CHEAPER! ! !
And now about real estate prices in the Elenite resort, and in Atrium Beach in particular.
The developer of the entire resort of Elenite is the Bulgarian company Victoria Group - one of the leaders in the market of resort real estate and the tourist business in Bulgaria. In general, one of the largest, reliable and promising companies. To the envy of competitors, which are difficult to call competitors.
At the moment, the developer has no more than a dozen apartments left in the Atrium Beach complex at a price of 125.000 euros (and all the remaining apartments without sea or mountain views).
But, while living last year (2012) in the Atrium, on the beach I met one of the owners of apartments in the Atrium, who made me think that you can buy not directly from the developer, but from owners from Russia or Ukraine. And, as a rule, due to the prevailing certain life and financial situations, the owners sell their property much cheaper than the developer.
And so I began to create a new table with the pros and cons of buying apartments in Yelenia from the developer or from the owners (secondary).
And, like last time with a table about the advantages of buying apartments in a particular complex, I chose to buy apartments in Elenite in the Atrium Beach complex, still from the owner (secondary), and here are the main parameters, in my opinion:
1. Real estate from the owner is 25-30% cheaper than from the developer. And this is a huge plus.
2. Those apartments that the developer has left are fully exploited by the management company for renting to tourists. So it's not a fact that by buying from the developer, you get "virgin" apartments.
And, having bought the same apartments from the owners, you perfectly understand that the "run" of tourists to these apartments was either limited or not observed at all and, accordingly, they are in a better condition.
3. If you are a sane buyer, then you probably understand that the developer has the most slow-moving apartments left. All the best are already sold out!
And, therefore, the owner, who sells the secondary housing, has more respectable apartments than the developer has left.
4. I bought an apartment of 78 sq. m. with stunning views of the sea, the bay of Sunny Beach and the mountains for only 110.000 euros (the seller gave me 15.000 euros, and this is another +), while the developer has an apartment of only 70 sq. meters, two floors lower (which means the view is worse) and with a view of the neighboring Andalusia complex (without a view of the sea or mountains - the developer has none left) costs 135.000 euros.
5. I bought an apartment fully equipped with furniture, appliances, kitchen and bedding, and this is another +.
6. Registration at the notary in just one day for 80 euros.
7. With the seller (and he still has 1 apartment for sale in the Atrium and he lives in another), we are now friends and help each other in everything. And sometimes we have small talk over a bottle of whiskey))).
eight.
As for the cost of apartments in Elenite, this price is above average from the average price for real estate in Sunny Beach. But the price is worth the quality and infrastructure! ! ! And according to my calculations, it is possible to beat off the difference between the minimum price of the Sunny Beach region and the price in Elenite in a couple of years. By rent, if you so desire. In July-August, it is almost impossible to book a free apartment in the Atrium - everything is rented out.
In any case, the price of apartments in Elenite has not fallen since the beginning of the crisis in 2008, despite the fact that the price of real estate in other regions of Sunny Beach has fallen by 10-15%.
And now about MY life in Atrium Beach!
So the time has come when I, young and handsome, unmarried and promising Deputy Editor-in-Chief of one of the fashionable Russian publications, who earned my hard-earned honest labor and, having made my dream come true, flew on June 6.2013 to my own apartment in the most beautiful corner planets - the Atrium Beach complex, to the Bulgarian resort of Elenite.
I was well aware that on the first day of my arrival I would have to “sweat”: wash and tear everything, disinfect toilet bowls, washbasins, wash furniture walls, etc. I’m just squeamish and I love cleanliness and order in everything! ! !
Arrived in Burgas at 10.30 am. The day before arrival, I ordered a transfer from the Elenite management company from Burgas Airport to Elenite.
Upon leaving the airport, I was met by a driver who, despite my protests, took away my heavy suitcase from me (I foolishly bought pots, plates, pans in Moscow ...but in the end it turned out that in Bulgaria it is much cheaper - this is the moment utensils, I just missed on the last trip) and brought it to the car. The transfer cost me 50 leva (25 euros). If you take a taxi at the airport - it's 60-80 leva.
Upon arrival in Elenite, I immediately went to the office of the Elenite management company. Great people work there: director Stanimir and manager Laura. Their work is unbeatable. Every hour, apartment owners turn to them - fix something ... , repair that ... , solve a problem with that ... , a leaf on a palm tree has dried up - it needs to be cut off, a pebble has formed on the beach - it needs to be removed, etc. ........
Kudos to them and respect! ! !
…After waiting for some time, I received the keys to my apartment and a utility bill for 2013.
Having studied the invoice a little, I asked about the numbers indicated in the invoice and decided to find out what it means in the Total amount -255.00 euros. The manager Laura explained to me that from the moment of my purchase of the apartment until the moment of my arrival, my apartment was rented out (with my consent, of course), and the amount of payment to my hands was 1005 euros for rent. Minus 750 euros for maintenance in 2013. Total to me to pay on hand 255 euros.
Ask if there are gifts of fate in life?
Answer: YES! ! !
I received such a gift on June 6.2013. Not only did I fly to my own apartment in Bulgaria, which I bought in August 2012, they also paid me 255 euros!! ! : -)))) for rent. I'm positively SHOCKED! ! ! These grandmothers will be enough for me for my 2 months of rest, and I will treat the girls with champagne))).
…And so I open the door of MY apartments in Bulgaria, go in as the Owner, check the availability of the equipment in the apartment. And… Oh Horror! ! ! !
Missing microwave! ! !
I don’t even understand how the tourists who rented my apartment managed to steal a microwave! ! ! But Russian tourists are ready for everything ! ! !
Laura immediately called Stanimir, the director of the management company. Grey-brown-crimson faces… they speak Bulgarian – I didn’t understand anything. I understood only one thing - sorry, after 20 minutes, everything is ok ! ! !
Less than 15 minutes later I had a NEW microwave in my room! ! ! In addition, they brought NEW! ! ! set of bed linen and towels.
What do you say, people! ? !
As soon as I accepted the apartment, I immediately went with my godfather to St. Vlas (2 stops from Elenite, 3 minutes drive, 1 euro per ticket) and bought all sorts of little things (mops, buckets, rags, brushes, detergents, plates, cups, spoons, forks and etc. ). Everything cost 25 euros.
They returned, washed and disinfected everything ...Everything glitters and sparkles, like a virgin before her wedding night.
And then I realized that I was very tired and I should have dinner and drink beer.
At 15.25 hours. The supermarket is open until 22.00. I went out to the store, bought beer, sausages, cheese, water, cola, tomatoes, cucumbers, all sorts of things for 20 euros - enough for a week (in Moscow, at best, everything would cost 50 euros). They also bought whiskey for 15 euros - to celebrate the arrival (the price from Moscow Duti-free is 3 euros cheaper), a couple of bottles of wine and champagne in reserve.
I want to note right away that I received another positive shock (this day was a day of super-positive emotions! ). Tomato-cucumbers - the charm itself! Sausage meat is 10-20 percent cheaper. A variety of cheeses, sausages, preservation. Inexpensive beer and wine. A variety of fruits and berries: strawberries, cherries, peaches, apricots…
My apartment! : -)))
Still, it's GREAT! ! ! - to have your own apartments in the BEST complex in Sunny Beach! ! ! I am cool! ! ! Aaaaaa - I'm still a cool guy! ! !
I cooked dinner - “A la restaurant on Rublyovka! ”, in a “criminal” way, arranged the cuts on a table on the terrace, cherries, strawberries, apricots and peaches in a thieves way, like in a movie, laid out on a freshly bought fruit vase, froze ice for whiskey, beer, wine and champagne in the refrigerator … I invited my new acquaintances to dinner and celebrate a housewarming party… A stunning view of the sea, a view of the mountains… We are watching fireworks somewhere in the distance in Sunny Beach!
Sea breeze, light breeze, not hot at a temperature of +28.
All evening we enjoy this Paradise, sitting on the terrace! ! ! We drink whiskey with ice. We have a bite of sausage and cheese products, we try peaches and apricots… All the talk that life is still a success… In general, we are basking!
I don’t regret for a second that I bought an apartment in Atrium Beach and made my dream come true! ) I'm the coolest guy in the world! ! !
I advise everyone - real estate buyers or tourists: Your best and unforgettable vacation ONLY in Elenite! ! !

The people of the hotel are just super! ! do not see lies and provocation! were from September 7 to 14, the weather is super, the sea is warm, the sun is warming, in the evening there is a breeze - you need a thin blouse, who drinks a lot and he doesn’t need it... the water in the pools is not icy, as some write, a merzlyachka like me, in the water park jumped with a bang, and the water was already drummed. For two, my husband and I paid 530 euros - this is without visas, 6 days, though, by bus, next year only by car. , Otherwise the road is tiring. Even if we had paid more - the hotel did not disappoint us! The territory is huge, I don’t want to walk! The food is delicious, the fruits were not green, not wrinkled as they say . . delicious peaches, niktarine, apples, pears... there was always food, some expect a rabbit on a spit, shrimp with pineapples, I don’t know who promises you this, I don’t understand, this is Bulgaria, and not overseas countries, everything is simpler here, like ours, only less meat, every day a person cannot overeat like that for 4 days already enough salad with a piece of chicken... In September there are still a lot of people and crowds roam in the hotel and in Sunny Beach. . . , I can’t imagine what’s going on here in the summer, well, like everywhere in the resorts, Bulgaria is no exception. There are many children, they do not interfere with anyone, on the contrary, we do rest for the sake of our children, whoever does not love them does not belong here! They settled us in the atrium, they forgot the Andulusia, on the contrary, the hotel is much calmer, there are fewer people, in the royal park there is generally both inside and outside the mover in full swing... The room is small with a view of the sea, clean and comfortable, the mansions were not expected like some. . . Hotel 5* Royal Castle is just a bomb, FAT!! ! they came in to find out the prices... We went to a bowling club, disco, a la carte, everything is wonderful. The main thing is to patiently wait on a silver platter, no one brings you anything, everyone went, took it, did it and is satisfied. Someone wrote that the ambulances are constantly standing, someone is poisoning, nothing like that, the ambulance is their working car, it constantly stands near the atrium and andulusia, and some passers-by think everything is pi. . ets. If you are not privileged, active and cheerful, look for a cheaper tour and everything will suit you here !! ! We found out that a room costs $ 100 after September 8 and until June 15.2 adults + 1 child under 12 years old for free, we are going next year by car and take the kids!

We rested in the Atrium in August 2012 with children. On the plus side, the hotel staff is responsive, they love children. In the hotel canteen you can eat absolutely normally, the main thing is to decide on a few dishes that you like and take them constantly. Watermelons are sweet. Wooden peaches. Russian ice cream, quite decent.

We rested in the Atrium in August 2012 with children. On the plus side, the hotel staff is responsive, they love children. In the hotel canteen you can eat absolutely normally, the main thing is to decide on a few dishes that you like and take them constantly. Watermelons are sweet. Wooden peaches. Russian ice cream, quite decent. The beer is good, light, somewhat reminiscent of our Ukrainian Chernihiv beer. The bartenders are cool, funny, joking, making fun, entertaining guests. The rooms are quite decent, leaving tips on the bed, cleaning is excellent, and if necessary, towels can be changed unscheduled by yourself by asking them from the clerk on the floor. The territory is awesome, there is where to take a walk in the evening, the views of the sea are amazing in the evening. The sea and the beach are clean, can not be compared with the Crimea or Odessa, without jellyfish and mosquitoes. Near the fence there is a grocery supermarket and a market with clothes, the prices there are quite adequate. Huge, I would say, the main plus is a great water park. The only thing - do not go down on the "toilet", there, at the exit, one face of the assembly protrudes and the people break their hands, break their legs, and, it seems, like not the first year. From what I would not like to remember - a la carte restaurants. On the third day of rest, we were inflated to sign up for restaurants. Received only one and then before departure, because, as a queue for a week ahead. Name - Sozopol. Arriving there, we were offered a menu of four courses printed on a black-and-white inkjet, three of which the waiter strongly discouraged, making a face. And on the other side of this laminated masterpiece, A4 size - a wine list, where there were only two positions - 1. White wine 2. Red wine. : -) There was nowhere to go, they ordered what they had. While we waited, they brought us red wine in glasses on which white worms crawled measuredly, in a businesslike manner. I showed it to the waiter and asked for the chef. In response, they changed the wine, which we, of course, no longer drank, and. . . stopped approaching our table at all : -))) After half an hour of fruitless waiting for the chef, we got up and left. In the canteen of the hotel you could eat and drink, much better. There is only one beach for the entire Elenite hotel complex, fortunately, umbrellas and sunbeds are free, but given our Slavic mentality, it was necessary to occupy them at 6 in the morning, laying out towels on top. At 8 in the morning there are no more empty seats, people huddle where they can, and a third of the sunbeds before dinner are still unclaimed with other people's towels crushed by stones. With free internet razvodnyak. It works only in the Atrium Beach lobby, and the password is only for those who live in this hotel, while you need to drag your laptop there and you are lucky if you do not have a dead battery - there are stupidly no sockets there. If you are from a nearby hotel - welcome to a paid Internet club or pay money for a temporary password. Occasionally it was possible to catch on to the password-free Wi-Fi of a neighboring, someone else's hotel - Zarnitsa, but the signal is very weak. For small children there is a paid children's room, where Russian-speaking animators work with the kids, there is a free playground with swings, a trampoline and slides. And for older children, the lack of free internet made them look for healthier entertainment. . Summarizing, I can say that, in principle, it is possible and necessary to go, but knowing what to expect, and most importantly, DO NOT GO TO SOZOPOL !! ! : -)))

Was with wife and child. All liked it. Great family vacation. The infrastructure is super. The water park is free, many slides, 4 pools (2 for children). The most comfortable hotel. All the hype and movement around the central hotel Royal Park. All inclusive works throughout the complex, i. e. in 5 hotels, except for the water park and one private bar on the beach.

All the hype and movement around the central hotel Royal Park. All inclusive works throughout the complex, i. e. in 5 hotels, except for the water park and one private bar on the beach. The sea is clean. The beach is sandy. Entrance to the sea: there are some stones (cleaned once a week), further into the sea there is a sandy strip of the bottom, where it is deeper - stone. A lot of children. 70% of Russian speakers. With free sun loungers strained only in the morning. After 10-11 found free. In principle, there is enough space on the beach, so you can lie on the sand as a last resort. Near a mini market and a supermarket, plus shops on the territory of the complex. We bought an umbrella for 10 leva and did not bathe. They fed well, there were no questions (in order to never look for places to come to the canteen, it is necessary either at the beginning or at the end of feeding). In the evening we always walked around the territory. Enough entertainment for children. Young people will be bored - this place is not for them. Cleaned every day - no issues. Minus: in this hotel there is no wi-fi, you have to go to the next one or stir up something with local mobile operators. Thanks to the closed guarded area, they boldly let the child alone walk with other children near the hotel. We'll go again just in case.
P. S. We stopped by Sunny Beach - we were shocked: the hotels are close to each other like in Turkey (if not worse), there is no particular infrastructure on the territory. Definitely a place for outdoor activities from dusk to dawn.

The food is good, although for breakfast the choice was mainly from scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs and boiled eggs. Their juice is chemical! Mashed potatoes were not made from potatoes, but from cereals, olivier was not very tasty and sausages were not a fountain. But they had delicious chicken soups, various tasty meats with gravy and vegetables, very juicy tomatoes. We always found something appetizing for ourselves and the child! We never got sick during our vacation.
The territory is huge and very beautiful, unfortunately for my child we didn’t find an ordinary swing there, only paid carousels and a trampoline (((maybe they didn’t look well. Near the Andalusia pool, you can take lemonades, beer and hot dogs for free. We always had enough sunbeds. I I have never seen towels thrown from sunbeds, on many sunbeds they lay untouched from early morning until late evening... Why?
The water in the pools is clean and warm enough. The sea is relatively clean, although there are algae, during the calm you can see the bottom. It is not very convenient to go into the sea - the first one and a half measures are stones, then sand, and then again there are stones.

We chose the Andalusia hotel from the "Victoria Group" on the recommendation of friends who had a rest a month earlier. Upon arrival, we were "thrown" to the Atrium. did not want to make a fuss.

Vacationing in Bulgaria for the first time. They were determined that after Turkey and Europe, it would be "so-so". We chose the Andalusia hotel from the "Victoria Group" on the recommendation of friends who had a rest a month earlier. Upon arrival, we were "thrown" to the Atrium. did not want to make a fuss. Settled immediately without any "but" with all the conditions of service. For the rest period, the weather was super, mostly up to 36 C, only once in the evening there was a thunderstorm.
The restaurant, of course, is not as diverse as, for example, in Turkey, and of course no one hollows out the swans from the ice, but you can eat. True breakfast as in Europe - always eggs (you can get in touch). Very well prepared beef, a large selection of fruits. The dessert table is poor, but the biscuits are fresh and tasty. Enough plates, enough space.
Minus-dishes should be changed (beaten)
Minus-no baby food (meaning for children under 2-3 years old).
Speaking of children. There are just a million of them. We traveled with a 7 year old child. It's normal, the warm sea, enough pools, a cool water park, but the animation... Firstly, they did not fully understand where the children's discos were held. Although on the Arabian night, the girls-animators had a good disco with children of different age categories. The dads liked it even more than the kids.
Beach. Plus, very close, warm sea. Minus-there are a lot of stones on the beach near the Atrium. Relaxing on the beach near Royal Park. Beautiful landscaped area.
In general, as for Bulgaria - Good. Pack your bags, take a good mood with a group of friends - go ahead and with a song

In general, as for Bulgaria - Good. Pack your bags, take a good mood with a group of friends - go ahead and with a song

We were at the Atrium Beach Hotel with my wife in late June-early July 2012. We rested in the apartments. Ol inclusive was not ordered from the management company - because. it's about 30 euros per person per day (60 euros per person for two - well, very expensive!!! ) The apartment had a kitchen with a full range of kitchen utensils.

The apartment had a kitchen with a full range of kitchen utensils. Next to the Atrium is a supermarket. Another 50 meters away is an excellent cafe with excellent cuisine. Total cost for two (lunch in a cafe - 8 euros for two with beer, breakfast and dinner were prepared by ourselves from products from the supermarket + wine or champagne for dinner) about 12-15 euros per day. And this is for two! And what for us, ask, this Ol is inclusive.
I give good advice: You need to go to the Atrium to the apartments, and eat in a nearby cafe and buy groceries for breakfast and dinner in a nearby (10 meters from the Atrium) supermarket. And get an unforgettable vacation.
This year (2013 - summer) we rented apartments for the entire summer season from June 15 to August 15 (for 2 months) and decided to take a break from all worldly worries in this beautiful complex.
As for the entire territory of Elenite, as we learned, earlier Todor Zhivkov's residence was located on this territory. I think this tells you something. . .
In Elenite (especially in the Atrium and Andalusia complex, which are located on the 1st line of the sea), a very good rest for those who want to visit silence (one might say, like in Paradise! ), Far from the hustle and bustle of the world, worries, noise and din, in surrounded by mountains, fresh air and the beautiful Black Sea.

Everyone is used to picking up an apple and moving on, it's

Today in the restaurant during lunch they closed all the doors, left one entrance, put a Bulgarian snot on it, which forbade everything from being taken out of the restaurant! Everyone is used to picking up an apple and moving on, it's forbidden! But the most egregious thing is that at the exit she demanded to show the BAGS !! ! I specifically sent her, it is clear that everyone goes to lunch from the beach, I had a towel and children's things there, but her tone was simply amazing! WHAT IS THIS ?? ? The food, by the way, is ugly, today it was just ROTTEN CHICKEN! What a concentration camp! My feet will not be there and I do not advise others!
