We went to Bulgaria with a girlfriend and children of 3 years each. We were in this country for the first time, having heard enough that it is good with children there, we decided to see for ourselves. It is very convenient that everyone there speaks Russian. The Grand Hotel Varna is a complex of 5 hotels and its territory, accordingly, is not small, but very decent, everything is green, quite nice. The hotel itself is also big, I don’t really like these, but then we decided to choose 5 *, so we settled on it. The room was standard with two large beds, everything is clean, in the bathroom there are gels, shampoos, soaps, white towels. The food is good too, delicious. In the morning there were cereals, pancakes - our children love it. A lot of fruits, ice cream, and no queues, not like in Turkey) You can even eat on the beach - “poison yourself” with fast food))) We went swimming mainly at the sea, less often in the pool, by the way, there are 3 of them, including a children’s one with a water slide . The sea is clean, there is sand on the beach, you can make Easter cakes). From entertainment for kids - a playground, our trampolines jumped there, and in the evening they lit up at discos, the animators are cheerful and unobtrusive. And for the big ones, the hotel has a gym and a spa, but we never went there, there was no one to leave the children with, and we don’t leave with strangers. But we didn’t break off) So if you are with children, you can safely go here, and you will be fed and entertained, and you will live in good conditions + everything is so relaxed without unnecessary movements, relaxation is shorter, if you can call it that rest with small children) There are mostly such - family and rest, there is someone to talk with if desired.

Stayed as a family of 4. Mom, dad and two sons. Let's start: Arrival: immediately upon arrival, we were settled in two rooms. In one, my husband and I, in the other children. (The eldest is 17 years old). Everything worked out for the best. We actually arrived early in the morning, so we were in time for breakfast. Rooms: Spacious, rather big beds, plasma TV, wardrobe, lots of drawers and shelves for storing things, a huge window, a balcony with a table and chairs, with a clothes dryer, carpet on the floor. The younger one often sat and collected legos on it. Territory: the hotel is one of the hotel complex. For example, opposite us was the Rubin Hotel. The complex itself is located in a huge park! Everything is beautiful, green, the eyes rest. Swimming pools: there are three of them, a large simple one, a simple children's pool and a mineral water pool. An ordinary adult has free sunbeds and umbrellas and it is deep enough there. The kids room has a water slide. And the mineral one is under the roof. Food: I don’t understand why everyone says that the food there is tasteless? Everything seems to be normal. Everything seems not as bad as they say, although standard. For breakfast, cereals, pancakes, juices, coffee, cold cuts, etc. . there was plenty to choose from. We also ate in the restaurants of the city, had lunch and dinner. Beach: the beach is like a beach. I will say simply, clean, beautiful and neat. There is a barbecue house on the shore, there are very tasty kebabs. And it is located not far from the hotel itself, it takes about three to five minutes to walk. Service: the room was cleaned well, a lot of Russians. There was always someone to talk to. At the reception, we were also treated in Russian. Waiters are smart and smiling. We've always liked it. Thanks for a great vacation!

we came to rest on my birthday on July 22 and on the very first day we were robbed on the street, they stole all the money of Prov, well, in short, everything that we had except passports, which, by pure chance, had not yet been returned to us from the reception when we called the police with them a guide from of another hotel, a wonderful girl explained to us that our guide was obliged immediately upon arrival to warn about the thefts committed in the territory of Bulgarian resorts up to 20 a day, it still seems to me that the guide Valentin is involved in this, he saw and personally changed us a lot of money, as the police themselves say thieves lead directly from the hotel, the feeling of disgust does not go away to this day, take care of yourself and your things, it’s a pity when some kind of geek cleans you like a sucker, but otherwise I really liked the country in terms of nature and climate, the hotel is so-so for 3-ku and the dishes in the restaurant are just tin I haven’t eaten from such a dirty life in my life all the time I was worried about the child when they were still constantly broadcasting about poisoning in Turkey in Greece, etc.

Rested in room 939 in July 2011. Shocked and surprised! Who gave this hotel 5 stars? The rooms make a depressing impression: the cabinet doors are broken, the shower fixture is torn off, the hair dryer hose is torn, the taps are rusty, the air conditioner at full power barely gives out a little cool air. In the next room, the door to the toilet dangles on one hinge.

In the next room, the door to the toilet dangles on one hinge. And it's 5 stars! Yes, in the same Turkey or Egypt, such a hotel would not even pull 3 stars! And at the same time, in neighboring 4-star hotels, there is much more comfort and coziness in the rooms. So, do not make a mistake with the choice of a hotel and do not throw away extra money.

Reading the comments it is difficult to draw an objective picture, someone has something to compare with, someone is new to everything, someone initially finds fault with everything, and someone tries to justify everything, turn a blind eye to something and generally does not particularly bother.

Reading the comments it is difficult to draw an objective picture, someone has something to compare with, someone is new to everything, someone initially finds fault with everything, and someone tries to justify everything, turn a blind eye to something and generally does not particularly bother. I rested with my husband and child (daughter, 5.5 years old) from May 13 to July 3.2011. Let's start with the Bulgarian border - Sooo slow!! ! But the hotel was taken quickly and without incident. As expected, with a preliminary acquaintance with the views of the hotel via the Internet, all expectations were met. Old building, Soviet times, rooms of the same time, as well as furniture and plumbing. During the rest, our shower broke down three times, all the water and electricity were turned off several times. The room was cleaned a day, every other day, not of high quality. Towels were regularly brought in as new, but the smell from them was sour. They refused a separate bed for the child, it was impossible to turn around with it. Closets, I think, in almost all rooms do not open well, you know the age : -)) Clarification, I looked at several rooms on the spot, we were looking for the most suitable for our expectations. as a result, after spending the night in two, we stopped at the last. Why not arranged the first number? ! The answer will be obvious to you if you are placed on the right side of the hotel, looking at the sea. SEAGULLS!! ! Of course I love nature, birds and animals, but these are just monsters!! ! They scream non-stop, walk into the room, devour everything that is not nailed down. And the sweetest thing is that they shit right on your chairs, table, towels and panties on the dryer. I'm not talking about gender at all. In general, all the rooms on this side of the hotel are a toilet for birds !! ! Despite the fact that there were enough Russians in the hotel, they don’t like Russians there, they prefer tourists from Germany and England, and of course their beloved Bulgarians and Romanians. we tried to change the room, they convinced me that there were no places, the hotel was almost empty!! ! in the end, due to personal qualities, the staff was convinced that it was better to give up and give me the number that I ask. There were fewer seagulls here, and they even screamed a little quieter : -)) The hotel staff is very bad, and some did not speak Russian at all, and English left much to be desired. As a result, the sign language won! Pools! When there were not many people, the closed mineral one pleased. Open was still cold. Throughout the territory it was alone filled with water. When tourists began to arrive, it simply became impossible to swim in a warm closed one. Closely and people did not comply with basic hygiene standards, not taking a shower dirty climbed into the water. Ignoring the inscriptions on all the walls and signs. The staff turned a blind eye to all this. When they tried to lie down by the outdoor pool, it was simply not possible to find a place. Guests of all neighboring hotels were here. and the rest of our hotel had no choice but to remain silent. The beach is terrible!! ! No protection. Dirty. The sea as a whole had nothing to do with it, and we were happy about it because it should be so : -)) Food! DISGUSTING. three weeks of the same. from fruit sour apples and oranges. nothing good for kids. the meat is always undercooked. the salads are made from everything left over from yesterday. bread is not the first freshness. no choice of sweets. the restaurant is always dirty. problem places. plus on the open terrace there are a lot of seagulls that walk on tables, food, dishes. Bar. Well, there are no pluses or minuses here. . the child came off, drove the Bulgarian bartenders : -)) Not a single doctor on the territory of the hotel !! ! The spa center is not open. Children are not allowed in the sauna. The gym has always been occupied by the national teams of Bulgaria, Germany, Japan, Cuba in volleyball. There was no entertainment for children during our stay. No kindergarten, no animators. The hotel is pet friendly if you share the money with the reception staff. I also want to note the fact that during our holiday there were regular invasions of tourists of Bulgarian and Romanian nationality. For which everyone else was pushed into the background. They blocked the first two floors, arranged a drink for half the night for all neighboring hotels, but not for us. The restaurant was rented out all night for a wedding. And we were lying in bed listening to the drunken orgies of the guests of the banquet. But! despite so many minuses, there was a plus. Wonderful green area. Perhaps this is all. To all those who nevertheless chose this hotel, I recommend that you definitely visit the paid mineral pool, go to the cafe on the 12th floor of the Curie Hotel, and tune in to the positive. Rest - do not work : -)))

For example, they write that the staff does not speak Russian, it’s not true that almost all the staff speak all languages. And at the expense of the Russian language, they speak Russian almost without an accent. And at the expense of food, we rested there for 10 days every day, always new and very tasty dishes. In general, my wife and I really liked the hotel itself and everything else, and the sea and the beach are also very clean. Inclusive" and then everything will be free for you, starting with the hotel and ending with the sea. As they say; Greedy pays twice; In general, I advise everyone you will not regret it!

We with a child (5 years old) rested at the resort of St. Konstantin and Elena in the Varna hotel. At first glance, I liked everything. Nice room on the 3rd floor. TV, 2 large beds, balcony. But this is only on the first look. The first thing I found was the packaging of used condoms in the nightstand by the bed, the water did not go away in the bathroom, the floor was slippery, there was no rug.

I fell, miraculously did not break, it's good that the child did not fall. changed once, the garbage was taken out every two days, or even three.

The hotel complex "Varna" combines several hotels of the resort "St. Constantine and Helena". Rested in a single room in the Grand Hotel "Varna*****". Large hotel built in Soviet times. The room is quite spacious, but somehow uncomfortable. Room cleaning daily, linen change every other day. There was one outdoor pool with a depth of 1-1.

The hotel complex "Varna" combines several hotels of the resort "St. Constantine and Helena". Rested in a single room in the Grand Hotel "Varna*****". Large hotel built in Soviet times. The room is quite spacious, but somehow uncomfortable. Room cleaning daily, linen change every other day. There was one outdoor pool with a depth of 1-1.6 m. Around the pool there are ordinary and cozy covered sunbeds. It cost a lot of effort to get a normal bathrobe - a kind of pass to the pool. To the beach 250-300 meters. The beach is pretty clean. Food - delicious and for every taste, a large selection. The assortment of dishes is probably constant, at least nothing has been added or decreased in a week. The wait staff is not very friendly. The impressions of the hotel are generally good, but it seems that one or two stars from the hotel are still superfluous. As elsewhere in the resort, it is better to make currency exchange and purchase products in Varna (more reliable in every sense), although these facilities are also available on the territory of the resort. To Varna by bus about 20 minutes away. An interesting resort and industrial town, there is something to see. I took excursions - to Nessebar (classic), national green tourism (Chufuyevo), along the Kamchia River to the Black Sea, on rare off-road all-terrain vehicles of the Soviet period with rest after a dose of adrenaline in a rural tavern (a very interesting colorful entertainment program in the national style). The rest passed in one breath, but I am sure that the Grand Hotel Varna is not the best choice.
