We rested with my husband and a 3-year-old child in Bulgaria (Nessebar, hotel "Arsena" 4 stars) from 08/27/2012 to 09/03/2012.
We chose the hotel on booking. com.
Photos and descriptions of the hotel, territory and rooms are true. The hotel is beautiful, neat, clean and comfortable, although if you want, you can find something to complain about. I can’t say that the rooms are shabby, but there are minor flaws in the form of wallpaper peeled off at the joints, broken shower holders and slightly leaky ceilings (although the drips can be attributed to the fact that our room was on the last, 6th floor). But the view from the balcony to the beach, the sea and Old Nessebar compensated for everything. The rooms were cleaned every day, bed linen changed every 3, and towels - every 2 days (everything is white, clean and fresh). For me personally, there was not enough kettle in the room.

The hotel staff is friendly, welcoming, smiling and honest (we left money, documents just in the bedside table - everything is safe and sound).
We ate according to the "Breakfast included" scheme. I will allow myself to disagree with those who called breakfasts "meager" and "monotonous". Considering that this is "BREAKFAST", and not lunch, and not dinner, then the food was just wonderful. Omelette, fried eggs, boiled eggs, casserole, pasta, spaghetti, oatmeal with milk, porridge, couscous type, rice, (of course, not all on the same day, side dishes changed throughout the week) lobio, muesli (2 types ), breakfast cereals (3 types), pate, 3-4 types of sausage and 2 types of cold cuts, hard cheese and feta cheese, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, 3 types of sweet buns, white and rye bread (from which you can make toast), bun with sausage, 3 types of jam (among them - amazing jam from figs), honey, local sweet and sour yoghurts; from fruits - plums, pears, peaches and watermelon; from drinks - apple and orange juices, mineral and plain water, milk, tea and coffee (here coffee is really tasteless - but there is boiling water, and you can buy coffee in the store to your taste, and take it with you). And I'm not sure I haven't forgotten anything. There are no lines, there is enough for everyone. You can eat in the restaurant or on the terrace. For lunch and dinner we went to restaurants, which are in abundance in Nessebar at every step. The portions are really large, you can take a salad or a side dish for two adults. There are a lot of fast foods where you can eat normally for reasonable prices. If you eat in a restaurant, then an approximate menu of chicken soup, side dish, 2 types of fish, salad, 2 glasses of wine or beer, juice and coffee will cost 30-40 lev (approximately 150-200 UAH)
Now about the beach, the sea and the weather. The beach is clean, every morning uncles with rakes clean the sand. On the beach there are umbrellas and sun loungers - everything is paid. Umbrella + sun lounger = 14 lev (about 150 UAH), but you can only take an umbrella for 7 lev and lie down on your rug or towel. Free beach - for 200-300 meters, behind the beaches of hotels. Or you can sunbathe near your hotel (there are also umbrellas and sun loungers, free of charge), and go swimming to the sea (go down the stairs), or plunge into the pool. You can sunbathe on the beach until 5-6 hours, and then the sun hides behind the hotel building. The sea was clean and warm, but the wind was blowing all the time, and the sea was either slightly or violently stormy. On the first and last days of our holiday it was cloudy, the rest of the time it was warm and sunny. It was a little chilly in the morning and evening.
We were very pleased with the hotel, the country and the rest in general. With a clear conscience would recommend the hotel to friends.
