In short: this vacation was planned as economical, therefore, initially it assumed some compromises. For this money - norms.
It was spent 390 euros for the road + hotel + visas (all for two, at the rate of 16.15 = about 6.500 UAH), 200 dollars + about 1.000 UAH. (from the card) in place.
Kranevo
Expected more. Different people go on vacation for different things (eat, hang out, drink in the company, etc. ). I go for the direct sea. In Kranevo, it is not very - extremely shallow (ie, 50 m from the coast up to the neck, then a little overhead, then a spit to the waist - I didn’t go further) and sandy. The slightest disturbance and the water is muddy. There is nowhere to dive at all. Not a single stone (I'm not talking about grottoes, etc. ). Boring!

Kranevo itself is a small village. Where to eat, but pretentious restaurants were not noticed. As a result, we looked after one cafe right on the shore and ate mostly there. Bulgarians are pleasant, polite, in general the atmosphere is positive and relaxed. In general - for families with children, norms, for those who like to swim and dive - not very much.
Bellevue Hotel 3*
Good mid-range hotel. Clean, wi-fi worked (sometimes disappeared), breakfast was normal (but without culinary masterpieces), there was always hot water.
From the sea, honest unhurried minutes 7-10 along the path without slopes. Between the hotels and the beach - a strip of semi-wild "booths" (I wonder how this is even possible in a resort town - an undeveloped strip 100 meters from the sea).
There were a couple of unpleasant moments in the hotel. First they put us in a room that was very smoky. I asked the cleaners, they immediately told us that a hellish smoker lived before us and puffed right in the room. I went to talk to the reception, demanded to replace. They were aware of it (that is, all the staff knew that the room was "smelly"), but they said there were no rooms. He began to argue - in the evening some people left the hotel, but from a higher class room. He demanded to relocate (naturally, without additional payment) - they did not want to. I wrote to a travel agency in Kyiv (come with us). An hour or two later, the hotel guide called (in the room! ) and said that he would now solve our problem. I went down again to the reception, was able to talk with the hotel administrator - they promised to move to the trail. day (which they did). After that, the rest was like clockwork. I understand that this is more of a force majeure and should not affect the assessment of the hotel, but there is an offensive fact that ALL the staff knew about the problem, but we were settled in this room anyway - like what if these people will not be outraged.
Second moment with the hotel.

Cleaning starts at 8:00. This means that the cleaners loudly roll their cart along the stone-floored corridor, and at 8:20 they begin to vacuum behind the wall. If you don’t have time to put up a “do not disturb” sign, in 10 minutes they will break into your room too : ) As a result, we learned how to put up a sign in the evening and all the cleaners solemnly waited for us to leave the room at 9:30-10:30.
Third moment
Very poor soundproofing. If you are not lucky with the neighbors (we were lucky), you will listen all night long to ahh-sighs, snoring, coughing or gay-way.
In general, the impression was positive, the minimum requirements "clean, hot water, not far from the sea" for the minimum money are worked out 100%.
I am sure that for SUCH money SO in the Crimea we would not have rested in our lives.
As for a global holiday in Bulgaria, having saved 200-300 euros on a flight, we travel by bus every day in each direction. It's hard, but not fatal. However, with a flight, it would have turned out 600-700 euros, and for this money a year ago we rested in Montenegro and the rest was incomparably better.
Therefore, if you want to save money, take a bus to Bulgaria. If you want to fly - fly to Montenegro.
