"I love the sea as a beloved, and if I don't see it for a long time, I yearn for it. "
The Count of Monte Cristo (A. Dumas "The Count of Monte Cristo")
I didn't want to write this review for two reasons. Firstly, as a moderately intelligent person, I do not want to advertise what is good, because crowds of people will rush here. Secondly, as a professional specialist, including as a journalist and PR specialist, I write any texts for a lot of money. I am writing this review solely at the request of Mr. Mitko (hotel manager), with whom we have established friendly relations. In Russia, such an appeal - "sir" is not accepted, because "gentlemen are all in Paris" (c). But in Europe and Bulgaria this is the standard form of address.
In 2016, I was in Kranevo for the 7th time, 5 times in a sports camp, we lived as a team in an inexpensive and hospitable hotel "Dobrudzha **". But this year, just like in 2008 (the previous race at Kristel Park), I wanted comfort.
The price for one person in a double room per day from the end of June to the beginning of July, according to Russian prices, was approximately 2.500 rubles, with three meals a day. I refused lunches and dinners, and the price became lower, for 16 days, by 55 euros. Who wants to save money, it is better not to refuse. Breakfast - at the level of the five-star hotel "Golden Elephant" (Orenburg). Modest, but very fresh. July and August are the peak season, and prices are correspondingly higher, in September they again drop significantly. In more detail, all prices in the "Kristel Park / Kristel park" are indicated on the hotel website, there are also contacts http://www. hotelkristelpark. com/
Mr. Mitko and administrator Stanislav (born in Belarus, Vitebsk) quickly and efficiently made a hotel reservation for me by e-mail, which I presented when applying for a visa, buying air tickets (charter), insurance (not necessary, but definitely not a problem) ), transfer to the Balkan Express travel agency.
It is better to book a room with a sea view (perhaps a little more expensive, depending on the workload), or rather on the field, since it takes about 12 minutes to walk to the sea.
According to Stanislav, the main advantage of Kristel Park is the service. Unlike Egypt, here it is not necessary to give a tip for every request, leave it to the cleaners and bartenders. But this, of course, as throughout Europe, is not forbidden. In my opinion, the main advantage of Kristel Park is the friendliness of all the staff, everyone here smiles sincerely. And "Kristel park / Kristel park" is located in the center of Kranevo.
Of the minuses, on the first day of arrival, I found that the drain tank was constantly buzzing a little. The master replaced it with a new one in 55 minutes. There was a crack in the sink, but it doesn't matter to me. Didn't ask for a replacement. Adequate rating "Kristel park / Kristel park", according to the hotel rating, solid 3+. Conclusion - inexpensive, calm and good. There is air conditioning, refrigerator and TV.
There is no luxury, but the furniture is pleasant. There is a Russian proverb “The best is the enemy of the good”. Kristel park is a 100% good place! Food prices in Kranevo restaurants are 2 times lower than in Albena (4 km along the beach). Kristel park also has a small cozy pool. When you re-settle in "Kristel Park / Kristel park" - a 10% discount. Complete security.
Massage at the hotel is at a good level, prices are from 5 to 15 euros (up to 40 minutes). Who wants entertainment - taxi ride to Albena, Golden Sands, St. Constantine and Elena (hot spring) - from 15 to 25 minutes. The best restaurants in Kranevo are Izvora, Serbian and Milev (the most expensive restaurant). Gourmet dinner in Kranevo, from 10 euros. Who wants to have a more economical dinner, without wine (because the prices for a bottle of wine are almost the same everywhere), then the best option is the Chuchurite restaurant. The Germans from Albena walk 4 km along the beach to have lunch in Kranevo, or in the evening they come by taxi. There is amazing cuisine here.
The price tag for accommodation and meals at Kristel Park is 3.5 times lower than in France (La Rochelle). But the staff is indifferent. And in “Kristel park / Kristel park” you start again, as in childhood, sincerely smile. And Moscow tensions fade into the background.
The beach in Kranevo is one of the best in Bulgaria. Wide sandy strip and gently sloping coast. Do not be lazy and go to the sea before breakfast at 7 am, when the beach is completely deserted, and the sea is very clean and divinely beautiful.
P. S. I strongly recommend not to sit around in Kranevo, but to diversify your vacation with excursions.
This year, with a large group of adults and children, we went on an ethno-excursion "Bulgarian Village" (or the second name - "The Merry Village of Solnik" to visit the hospitable and cheerful woman Rada), before that we stopped at the Beaten Stones reserve (a natural phenomenon - it is considered energy place), and at the end of the excursion we were taken on small boats along the Kamchia River (it is also called the “Bulgarian Amazon” because of the picturesque view). The next day we were in Varna for a pirate party (a water battle, everyone really liked it, adults no less than children) and on a separate day we visited the water park in Golden Sands. We also walked along the beach to Albena on our own, then, wearing sneakers or strong sandals, we went along an uncomfortable path, which was often cut off by dangerous landslides, towards Balchik. After about 40 minutes, the path was replaced by a gorgeous road, and we got to Balchik from Kranevo in about 2.5 hours.
There we bought tickets to visit the Botanical Garden and the Palace of Queen Mary, we drove back by taxi, the price is 25 leva. If you go to Balchik on foot, you will see that the sea will change at least 4 times during this transition. The impressions are the most unforgettable, but it is better not to take small children on this crossing, there are dangerous sections.
P. P. S. Taxi in Kranevo, by Moscow standards, is inexpensive. A ride along Kranevo costs 5 leva. From Kranevo to Varna airport - 50 leva (25 euros) and Varna (airport) - Kranevo, the same price tag. A transfer for one person is 11 euros, so if you are traveling with two or more people, it is more optimal and much more comfortable to order a taxi. The best taxi driver in Kranevo, in my opinion, is Mister Gospodinov (or simply Dinko). Here are his contacts - phone: +35.897 80.345; e-mail: gospodin1966@abv. bg
