And remember you are being watched when you eat and if the owners think that you have already eaten a lot, they can deprive you of breakfast and soup for lunch!

Bird discord and a sunflower field - morning begins with them in Pancho: you go out onto the balcony, catch the wind and - "Hello, sun! " that in "Pancho" they will be comfortable. Valentina greeted us like relatives and, despite the late hour, fed us dinner. This time they came with gifts - bring them too ; ))) It is interesting to study the geography of souvenirs on the shelves in the dining room.

Bird discord and a sunflower field - morning begins with them in Pancho: you go out onto the balcony, catch the wind and - "Hello, sun! " that in "Pancho" they will be comfortable. Valentina greeted us like relatives and, despite the late hour, fed us dinner. This time they came with gifts - bring them too ; ))) It is interesting to study the geography of souvenirs on the shelves in the dining room. In general, the dining room is a wonderful place! Eros Ramazzotti - the constant companion of holidays in Bulgaria - did not leave here either))) Plamen - the owner - bakes intoxicating bannichkas for breakfast. Lovers of a hearty breakfast - in "Pancho": porridge with milk and cereal, three types of cold cuts, hot sausages, croutons, cucumbers and tomatoes, olives, three types of cheese, bread and butter, a couple of times there was a pancake pie with delicious filling and scrambled eggs, always - two types of hot bunnies, pancakes and waffles, jam. Coffee is brewed at the request of the guest by the host's daughter Gergana. A very modest and sweet girl, a student, this year is a full-fledged hostess of the hotel: she is in charge of cleaning the rooms, serving guests in the dining room, and talking with them in different languages. . . Beds have been updated for this season in Pancho - very comfortable! We slept very soundly and with an open balcony - I finally allowed myself this after multiple trips to Bulgaria (in 2007, the Metropol Hotel in Golden Sands was robbed on the very first night: a bag with an empty wallet in the morning ended up at the open balcony door). In "Pancho" you feel completely safe! Briefly from the previous review: a walk to the sea for about 15 minutes is only a joy for us! A river, a horse farm, a spa hotel or through plum orchards and the Baltata reserve - going to the beach by any road is comfortable and interesting. Read the previous review! Walk along the coast to Albena, and - a full meal at the Central restaurant (resort administration, landmark - a huge green lawn in the center of the resort) for 20 leva for four, the chef is very colorful. We are very pleased that the restaurant staff recognized us! Bus, and - Varna, Balchik. Taxi is cheap - bargain shamelessly! It is better to buy fruits in Varna or in a shop on the highway (from the hotel go up the street and to the left). To Varna - for attractions (for 260 rubles - 7-8 attractions each), for a collective farm pazar, for beach parties. The beach in Kranevo is wide and the entry into the sea is very convenient, there are few people, very freely, for the first time in Bulgaria I saw jellyfish (we watched only one day) - the children played like snowballs with them. We returned somehow in the full moon across the sea, through Baltata to the hotel, with three children through the night forest with wild cries of birds - catch the sensations! I wrote about cozy and tasty cafes in the previous review - everything is so. We spent some relatives and decided to have dinner in our own "Pancho": dinner per person - 8 lev, buffet, the menu is very rich and everything is home-style. Flame on top! On the day of departure, he gave his spouse high-class brandy and hot bannichki! We often remember this Bulgarian family with kindness and love! If you have any questions - I'll be happy to answer!

Rested in Pancho 2 * from 30.07. 16 to 13.08. 16 with his wife. Tour operator - "Baltic Coast" (St. Petersburg). The air carrier is Bulgarian Airlines. Plus - a convenient time of arrival in Varna: 09:25 and departure: 02:40. Minus - the plane is old, dirty, low-back seats in the plane. In flight they give only a croissant and juice / water / coffee.

Rested in Pancho 2 * from 30.07. 16 to 13.08. 16 with his wife. Tour operator - "Baltic Coast" (St. Petersburg). The air carrier is Bulgarian Airlines. Plus - a convenient time of arrival in Varna: 09:25 and departure: 02:40. Minus - the plane is old, dirty, low-back seats in the plane. In flight they give only a croissant and juice / water / coffee. Transfer from Varna airport to the hotel and back: the owner of the Plamen hotel took him in his car. He is not only a good chef, but also a good driver. Drove quickly (about 30 minutes) and without problems. About the hotel. Settled in number 9 on the 3rd floor. The room is good, clean, spacious, high ceilings, full-length windows. Windows and balcony - towards the sea (see photo). The downside is that in the neighboring hotel in the afternoon and evening the children were very noisy. Meals at the hotel. On tour. The package included breakfast only. Dinner was taken from time to time. Everything is delicious. Dinner for one person in Pancho - 4 euros (8 lev). For comparison: dinner in Kranevo: 10-15 euros (20-30 levs). On st. Black sea roast chickens on a spit. Inexpensive and tasty. Were in the restaurants closest to Pancho: Laguna, Anchor. Did not like. The Laguna is not tasty and somehow dirty. In Ankor, the waitress does not understand Russian. Brought not the salad that was ordered, instead of chicken liver - beef. In short, Pancho is tastier and cheaper. About air conditioners. IMHO, going south in the summer and not booking a room with air conditioning is a fatal mistake. A month before the trip, I booked an air-conditioned room with the owner of the hotel, Valentina, by email. mail: kranevopancho@abv. bg. Pancho has 6 rooms without air conditioning (No. 13-18) on the 4th floor (attic). I talked with those who were settled on the 4th floor in a room without air conditioning. It was hard for them, to put it mildly, and they very much regretted that they had not booked a room with air conditioning. I agree with those who write that it is hard to go to the beach and back for 20 minutes in the heat. Especially children and the elderly. They better take a hotel on the first line. On a 5-point scale, the Pancho 2 * hotel can be put a solid "four". Sea. Warm, but out of 14 days 11 were stormy. There are no breakwaters, so the waves are quite large. Because of this, the water was cloudy (sand, algae). For 9 days, lifeguards hung out a yellow flag (be careful, it is advisable not to swim alone). 2-3 days there was a red flag (danger, swimming is prohibited). On such days the wind was so strong that it tore out and broke umbrellas. According to local residents, jellyfish appear in the sea in the second half of August. Beach. Where stationary umbrellas and sun loungers are installed, it is dirty (cigarette butts, garbage). The advantage of this part of the beach is that there are lifeguards (relevant for children). We went to a wild beach towards Albena. The sand is clean and there are fewer people. What I didn’t like on the beach was a pack of stray dogs that crap anywhere. For some reason, purebred dogs are walked on the beach by their owners (see photo). It is better to swim away from the place where the Golyamata River flows into the sea. Wastewater enters such rivers (this, in particular, can be seen in the place where this river is crossed by Shipka Street). In Bulgaria, in July-August, the peak of rotavirus. Therefore, doctors recommend that when bathing, water does not enter the mouth. (Actually, first of all, for children). Advantages of Kranevo. * A small village, not many people, quite quiet and calm, prices are 1.5 times less than in large resorts in Bulgaria. Minuses. * Dirty. Particularly annoying were the overcrowded garbage cans that stank in the sun. . Garbage collection is irregular. Garbage cans are placed on the sidewalks or directly on the roadway (see photo). * Nowhere to walk. Sidewalks are not everywhere, but where they are, in some places, in such a state that you can break your legs. You have to walk on the roadway where cars pass. You can take a walk on the territory of the Termo Palace 5 * hotel (decorative plants, flowers, sculptures, benches, hammocks, playground) (see photo). * Despite the mesh on the balcony door, insects flew into the room. Turned on the fumigator at night. In general, in Kranevo there are some small (2-5 mm) flies that bite painfully. The bite site hurts for a long time. Pharmacy at st. Cherno More bought a cream for insect bites.

We chose the hotel based on plans to find a base for overnight stays with further movement around Bulgaria (within the daytime). What can I say - "Crimea is not ours, and thank God! "- this is when you compare the rest of the sea - the cleanest. The hotel is more than good for an economy option. 4 floors - on the first reception, a billiard table, a leather sofa and armchairs (we had a great night's sleep upon arrival at 4 am and 8 am), large plasma, toilet, safe (free of charge).

"- this is when you compare the rest of the sea - the cleanest. The hotel is more than good for an economy option. 4 floors - on the first reception, a billiard table, a leather sofa and armchairs (we had a great night's sleep upon arrival at 4 am and 8 am), large plasma, toilet, safe (free of charge). Rooms on floors 2-4. We lived on the 3rd floor, that photo, from where the view opens with a piece of the sea, was ours. Large room - about 18 m, bathroom - dark green tile, shower cabin, washbasin - you can wash things, countertop made of artificial stone, Large balcony - plastic table, 2 chairs, rope, clothespins. The room has a TV - never used, a refrigerator - built-in, almost silent, air conditioning, a wooden set - a table and two chairs, a bed (two 1.5 moved together - it didn’t bother us) with a lot! good orthopedic mattresses, mirror. Entrance hall - a large closet - everything fits. We had breakfast - prepared by the owner himself. Tip - take a ticket immediately with breakfast and dinner. Delicious - no words. There have never been repetitions (except for porridge and muesli for breakfast). When we left, the hosts added another soup for lunch for free for half board. Those who are planning to travel with children are ideal. For breakfast, coffee is brewed on request (coffee machine). In the evening, either a glass of wine (white or red), or beer. The owner put us on a banitsa - now I want to cook it at home. Separately, about the owners. Thank you very much, Valya and Plamen. Valentina communicates more with the guests, Plamen - in the kitchen, buying food, repairing the house - he is practically invisible. This is a family business "semeen wanted" - at the reception and mother Plamena (knows Russian and communicates), the children themselves learned the language, and this despite the fact that young people communicate only in Bulgarian and English. The hosts went to bed somewhere after 1 night and already at 8 am breakfast was ready. With such an influx of tourists, poor Valais has no sleep, no peace. For example, we arrived at 4 am, knocked for 7 minutes, Plamen came out, we waited for breakfast, we were invited to eat and immediately settled. As can be seen from the rules of the hotel - you need to check out before 12 am, and settle from 14.00, but we were already in the room at 9. In turn, on the day of departure, the bags were taken out for breakfast, left at the reception. Many thanks to the owners of the hotel, their mother and children! They do everything to make your stay comfortable. We decided - next time for sure! let's just stop here. From not even comments, but just a comment - wi-fi catches only in the hall, but this is not a problem. Once again many thanks to Valya, Plamen, their mother and children for a good rest. Look forward to visiting us and our friends.

It was "Pancho" that left the kindest memories of Kranevo. Hospitable and kind hosts Valya and Plamen - a married couple, their children and mother, assistant Silvia - do everything to make your stay in their house comfortable. My husband and two children stayed with them in July, a room on the 3rd floor, very large, 3 beds + a nursery, a refrigerator, air conditioning, a small table and 3 chairs, a table, a mirror, a large closet, bedside tables, a set of plastic furniture on a cozybalcony.

In the bathroom there is a shower-cabin, a hairdryer (! ), a basin, a clothes dryer on the balcony - everything is to the smallest detail. Wi-Fi is better in the lobby on cozy sofas. Breakfasts and dinners - yummy, prepared by the owner himself! He fixed the stroller for us from the youngest son and did not take money! Attentive Valya offered porridge for our children on the very first morning, which made other guests happy too! The hostess or assistant for the guests brews coffee herself (for the first time in her considerable travel experience I saw this! ) People are very kind and attentive to the smallest detail! The hotel itself is very cozy, neat, the area is surrounded by greenery. It is located on the outskirts of the village - and this is a BIG, BIG PLUS!!! In the center of Kranevo resort hype, bustle, dirt, cars, rental bicycles drive along the central "trading" street, the impression from the center is unpleasant, it's better not to walk at all. . . In the same place where Pancho is located (10 minutes walk slowly from the center) there is a private sector, recently built hotels, vineyards, silence, air, a view from the balcony to the mountains, a field, a forest, birds sing, an owl lives on the drain opposite. . . Behind the hotel there is a road to the beach through a field and abandoned plum orchards. . . They gathered and ate every day, in neighboring houses you can buy from the owners everything that has grown, cheaply, they will rip it off in front of you. Near the hotel there is a shop with prices cheaper than in the center, a bakery with awesome strudel!!! Not far from the bus stop, from which you can go to number 53 to Varna on schedule. It is better to go to Balchik from Albena (walk along the beach for 20-30 minutes). In Kranevo, it takes 10-15 minutes to get to the beach from the hotel, through the field, through the forest (but cars drive and it should be without rain) or through the territory of a 5 * spa hotel, across the river along the bridge, along the path lined with boards, through the horse farm. On the beach, in order to find a better place, you should go towards Albena by sea, cross two rivers in three steps (they come in flocks to spawn from the sea) - the water is cold, the contrast with the sea is clear, it’s fun to stand with one foot in the river, andthe other is in the sea))), there are no people, there is a site for nudists. The beach is wide, the shells are large and beautiful, the sand is fine or coarse - different. . . In the morning we walked along the beach, making halts, to Albena, we dined there at the administration of the resort (Central restaurant - a set lunch for 4 20 levs, including dessert and mussels boiled in a beer pot with us, discovered this place last year, and even in this they were not too lazy to go to Albena for such deliciousness and ridiculous prices), after lunch in Albena they took a bus and went to Balchik, a curious town and an indispensable place for independent visits - the botanical garden (do not overpay tour guides for an excursion, it is worth coming to Balchik and paying a penny on the spot). In Kranevo, there were only breakfasts on a tour, but a day later we ordered dinner from the hosts - a plate of hot and salad, beer or wine, and whether there was juice to choose from, or a buffet - 8 lev. The menu includes shish kebab, cabbage rolls, and some kind of zucchini rolls with feta cheese, Shopska salad, meat and seafood, and vegetables. . . From the cafe I liked Morski Dar - a family hotel in the center and on the beach of La Paya, the most pop places of Mechan Kranevo and Izvor - it's better to come at lunch, in the evening the waiters are tortured, although it's beautiful and tasty. Nothing to do in Ajax. On Volga Street, 11, there is a very cozy place TRISTNIKATA, both tasty and inexpensive, national flavor, the waiters are very pleasant. Opposite Mechan Kranevo there is a Warehouse store with prices, like in a supermarket in Balchik for ordinary citizens. To the right of this restaurant you can buy fried fish, a very popular shop, yummy!!! I repeat that it is better not to take fruit on shopping streets - Turkish, in the private sector it is very cheap and from their own farms. It is much more profitable to change money, of course, in Varna, the rate in Balchik is slightly lower, and in Kranevo in a single bank the lowest rate, in Albena is even lower. In Kranevo, it’s better to walk to Terma Palace, if you don’t get to Varna in the near future, this resort is the most profitable. In general, pleasant impressions from staying in Kranevo were left precisely because of the hotel, its owners and location. We are very grateful to Valya and Plamen for their hospitality!! !

To the beach 500-700 meters, a great path so as not to "swim" on vacation at all))
I recommend for a holiday for two, or for families with children, as the beach is sandy and the sea is not deep.

I traveled alone in July 2013. As for Kranevo, for some reason I had an association with the Ukrainian Kirillovka - the same village) The Pancho Hotel is quite normal, if it doesn’t scare you that it takes about 15 minutes to walk to the beach. The hotel is located on the outskirts. I lived in a room on the top floor, with a balcony, but without air conditioning.
