Please note that the review about the Mirage of Nessebar Apartment Complex.
This year we (family: two adults and two children aged 6 and 10) decided to relax in the ancient town of Nessebar, which, as it turned out, is almost 2500 years old. In Bulgaria, we are resting for the third time: before that we were in St. Constantine and Sozopol. From Burgas to Nessebar is about 35 km. The meeting party of Teddy Kam. Having gathered all the tourist brethren who arrived under partnership agreements, we were seated in a comfortable bus and taken to our places of stay. They immediately said that they would take us on a completely different road than usual, due to the presence of traffic jams along the traditional route. I find it difficult to say how it differs, in terms of the route, from the traditional one, but as it turned out, we are the only ones who need to be taken to Nessebar, the rest of the tourists opted for the Sunny Beach resort. And somehow we ended up on Sunny Beach earlier, bypassing Nessebar.
The guide, a nice girl, immediately warned us that we would have to make a transplant, while reassuring us that we would only win in comfort. I won’t say exactly where they dropped us off, they quickly transferred us along with our things to a Mercedes C - W204 and, with great comfort, compared to an unwashed bus, we were taken to the aparthotel.
Description Mirage of Nessebar Apartment Complex I'll start with the fact that this building is not a hotel. This is a complex consisting of separate apartments (apartments in our understanding), adjoining the Mirage hotel with a main wall and having no common passages with the hotel, except for the pool area, and also having nothing to do with the Mirage hotel. De jure, these are two different entities. Accordingly, they also have different inputs. If Mirage has a central entrance right in front of the ring road, then the apartment complex, it is somehow located at the end of the common building, directly, even inconspicuously. Next to the door there is an intercom with a list of apartments and a set of buttons opposite each number.
The reception in the apartment complex with (hard to call it that) is located to the right of the entrance and is a small counter about 1.5 meters long. The same girl was constantly at the reception, as we later found out she was only 18 years old, this was yesterday's schoolgirl. She periodically went somewhere and came again. In the evening the reception was empty.
When we checked in, they looked at our passports and gave us three keys: one for the apartment, the second for the safe in the room, and the third for the front door of the apartment complex. In the evening, the entrance doors, it turns out, are closed and all residents have their own key. Here I had a question, what should tourists who arrived after 23.00 or before 08.00 do? Well, it's easier for those who leave - they still have the key in their hands. Just do not think that I am describing this in order to make fun of the rules in this apartment complex, by no means. Everything that I wrote - more than makes it easier to stay in the apartment complex.
As for me, my departure from the apartment complex was at 05.55. We went down to reception, opened the front door and put our keys on the empty reception desk. With this we left: with a calm soul, a clear conscience and without any property of the apartment complex. When everything is based on trust, it is so pleasant to dispose customers to a business entity.
As for the apartment complex itself: it consists of seven floors. The entrance to the hotel is located on the second floor, on the first floor there is a lobby bar, in which I have never seen either a bartender or visitors (he just is there), or rather, there were periodically tourists who arrived earlier than 14.00 and were waiting for their check-in time. You can’t call them visitors somehow: tortured people with suitcases, reclining on a short bar sofa in jeans, sneakers, and some still in jumpers.
The interior decoration of the building is quite good, the floor is glossy tiles, shiny, if you want you can see your own reflection (but it's better to stand firmly on your feet - then you won't have to see your reflected face), the walls are plastered and quite clean. There are two elevators in the building, at first glance they make a favorable impression, but, in my opinion, they are very “slow”, and their control logic is painfully simple, if not simpler. They just stop at all floors where the button was pressed. That is, it does not matter if you are going up in the elevator, and someone on the floor suddenly needs to go down, the elevator will stop and take the passenger. And then figure out for yourself who and where will go first. But, these are all trifles, as soon as the doors on the intermediate floors opened, I immediately began to yell with hostility either “up” or “down”, accompanying my cries with finger gestures for those who did not understand me.
The travel iron that we take with us was not useful this time. The living room was something like a studio combined with a kitchen equipped with everything you need, including household appliances (kettle, toaster, microwave, refrigerator, two-burner electric stove, washing machine), kitchen utensils (cutlery, knives, plates , cups, glasses, pot, pan, etc. ) and a kitchen table with chairs. Directly in the room there were two armchairs, a folding sofa (already filled with bed linen), a coffee table, a led TV and some cabinet furniture.
There was a wifi router in the room, which provided a decent speed of Internet access for all four users, for which I am especially grateful to the owner, since on the site the mention of wifi concerned only the bar lobby.
The floor in the living room was covered with tiles, in the bedroom there was a laminate on the floor.
Both rooms were air conditioned (the bedroom didn't work very well). Access to the balcony was from both rooms. On the balcony there was a floor dryer, a plastic table and chairs. I noticed that the furniture on the neighboring balconies was not plastic and wicker, and on some balconies there were a lot of climbing plants, which created some additional comfort. Bathroom - combined, equipped with an acrylic bath. Plumbing in good condition. Hot water supply is not centralized, there was an electric heating tank in the bathroom. In principle, its volume was enough to wash four, but very quickly. There was no hair dryer in the bathroom, the wife went to the reception, where she was given one. As far as I understand, all apartments belong to different owners, so the set of furniture, furnishings and repairs in each case will be individual.
I was satisfied with the apartments, in some places the scuffs are already visible, but what to do when up to a dozen tenants change the room during the season.
Cleaning was done every day. Towels were changed every day, bed linen was changed every 3 days. If they didn’t pile towels on the coffee table, then they simply didn’t change them (somehow my conscience did not allow me to throw them on the floor). Although we were warned at the reception that towels were changed every day, sometimes in the bathroom there were towels forgotten by us that were not changed. In general, they cleaned in different ways, despite the fact that we left 3 leva every day.
The pool is located on the first floor. It is shared with the Mirage Hotel. Around the pool there are umbrellas with sun loungers. All this is free. From the side of the Mirage Hotel there are tables of the restaurant. Near the exit from the Mirage apart-complex there is a tray with ice cream and several refrigerators with drinks.
I don’t know who they belong to, but the menu that is located there belongs to a beach cafe located on the waterfront (the very first one from the stairs). Behind the counter stands a man of about 60, or rather, he sits reclining in a sun lounger in the shade of an umbrella. He is engaged in eating tomatoes and selling ready-made drinks from refrigerators and coffee. For any small order, he runs to the above cafe on the embankment. And he does not remember the name of drinks. You show him with your finger what you want, then he calculates the serial number of the cocktail on the menu and runs to the cafe. Moreover, I got the impression that on the go he repeats serial numbers so as not to forget them until he reaches the bartender. In general, a cool uncle. I tried to photograph this counter, so look at the general view in the photo. Prices for cocktails are not high: milk shakes for children 4 leva, alcoholic cocktails from 6 lev and more.
In the lobby bar of the Mirage Hotel, prices are slightly higher, but also acceptable. To the left of the pool, if you are facing the sea, there is an exit outside the hotel and apartment complex, immediately onto the stairs and down to the beach. There is also an entrance to the gym, massage and sauna. The gym looks like nothing. We were there once, went to play tennis. This pleasure costs 5 lev for 1 hour. True, rackets were given to us by those who have already seen life and more than one generation of vacationers. They took out everything that was from the safe, but there was nothing to choose from this “was”.
The beach is sandy, the sea is warm in the second half of August, sometimes after a small storm it brought algae, but in general the sea is clean. The cost of sun loungers and umbrellas is 10 lev for each item. There are sections of the beach where umbrellas are installed, woven from branches (they are painted green), there the cost of sun loungers and an umbrella is 8 lev for each position. A little more economical, but these umbrellas provide little protection from the sun.
As an entertainment, you can walk around the old town, it is about 15 minutes on foot. It is located on a separate peninsula, connected to the main coast by a narrow isthmus. There are a lot of souvenir shops, shops, small cafes and restaurants in the recesses and between the remains of the old fortress wall and arched structures. There is also an archaeological museum. At the entrance to the old city, on the right side, there is a seaport and a yacht club, where barkers stand and offer to ride on boats and sailboats. We walked several times in the old city for various purposes, including once we decided to cultivate. There was no particular desire to look at the old Phoenician pots in the archaeological museum and we decided to visit the cinema museum. I expected to see holograms, 3D film stills, wax figures of artists. But we did not find anything there except for chuel and paraphernalia from several famous films.
Well, what if they hung out the same model of the costume in which DiCaprio starred in the film "The Wolf of Wall Street" or a bust of someone else (I thought that when I approached the stuffed animal, it would at least decompose and stand up - how naive I am), there was also a clone costume from Star Wars, a stuffed animal of master Yoda and Darth Vader, Batman and someone else. In general, I was not interested, my conclusion is 30 lev wasted. You can also stroll through the shops located on the street. Father Paisius and Ivan Vazov. By the way, on st. Father Paisiy is a good supermarket "Mladost", where you can buy everything you need and even ready-made food. On the same street there is a large selection of all sorts of souvenirs, beautiful gizmos, clothes and other unnecessary bells and whistles. A huge number of cafes in all directions from the apartcomplex. There is also something similar to canteens, where you can walk along the distribution with a tray and choose your favorite food.
Therefore, our guide, a pretty pretty girl with a tattoo on her collarbone, narrated in two languages: Russian and Hungarian. Damn, for the first time I heard the Hungarian language, moreover, for the first time I saw a guide who speaks Hungarian, except for the guide, a Hungarian by nationality. I still have a question whether she specifically chose him when studying and how many such linguists they have. During the trip, we were told about what awaits us, what is the order of rest and excursions, and they also showed us the longest mountain in Bulgaria. I was not mistaken: not the highest, but the longest. In general, Bata is a village, like a village. We drove past houses entwined with branches of grapes, along a road with a grassy roadside, past a shop with a cafe in which local residents sat and watched our bus with their eyes. We stopped in front of a restaurant complex with 600 seats.
Buses and minibuses were already parked along the roadside. We were met according to the old Bulgarian tradition with bread, salt and spices. Further on the cart was a healthy tray with wooden cups in which brandy was spilled. Those who wished could join the national Bulgarian drink. Then we passed a small area with several shops and artisans on the sides. You can also ride a pony or a donkey there on this site, and in the center there was a large fire, the coals of which were later used as an attribute of the main show. Even further away was the entrance directly to the restaurant. There were long wooden tables and benches. Our entire bus fit at three tables. There were bottles of lemonade and two empty pitchers on the tables. The jugs were meant for wine: one for red, the other for white. Wine had to be typed by ourselves from barrels that were not far from the stage.
The menu was not fancy: Shopska salad, tomato soup, chicken skewers, chicken fillet and potatoes, and watermelon for dessert. On the advice of our guide, you need to replenish the jugs with wine quickly, as they are empty, because if there are a lot of Russian-speaking tourists in a restaurant, then the wine can quickly run out. By the end of the evening, I realized that she had not been lying. I went to get wine, but as it turned out, pink wine was already flowing from a barrel of white wine. From which, I concluded that the white in the barrel was almost over and red wine was poured into it. Therefore, the color turned out a little pale. Having finished with the salad, we all dispersed to look around the complex, the children rode the poor animals, bought souvenirs, put war paint on their faces and returned to the tables. An entertainment program began, like wedding contests.
The presenter in four languages called those who wanted to take part in competitions on stage, and on a national basis: Russians with Germans, Poles with Czechs, Belarusians with Lithuanians, British with Hungarians, etc. , well, respectively, and made fun of them. Then there was a folklore program. After dark, everyone was invited to dance on the coals. We went to the center of the square of the complex, there was built something like an amphitheater, where in the center a man leveled the coals with a rake. But he leveled it very strangely, with some kind of concentric rings: a ring with coal, a ring with almost no coal. And then, along the practically empty ring, not stepping, but as if sliding on the surface, the man walked in a circle. Of course, there were also lonely coals, but the impression itself was not the same. A couple of times he carried around obese women, several children and the show was over.
Apartcomplex "Mirage" exceeded my expectations, to be honest, I was preparing for the worst. In general, I would give 8 points out of 10 for accommodation. Lacked a normal pool bar and lobby bar. Naturally, no animation for children, a children's room, except for a plastic slide for kids near the exit beyond the fence. But the children there themselves occupied themselves well, huddled in groups according to their interests. Thus, it must be taken into account that the Mirage of Nessebar Apartment Complex is an inferior hotel, but a residential complex with all the pluses and minuses that follow from here. I think that if fate brings me to Nessebar again, I will be happy to stay in this apartment complex.
This year we (family: two adults and two children aged 6 and 10) decided to relax in the ancient town of Nessebar, which, as it turned out, is almost 2500 years old.

Rested with my daughter and wife from 22.06 to 6.07.
I am in Nessebar for the 4th time, my wife - for the second time. But it was in this hotel that we decided to relax for the first time. The tour was arranged through the Kiev agency "Alma Tour", the host in Bulgaria - "Balkan Inter Travel". Thanks to them for the organization, everything is clear and timely, without delay.
The hotel is brand new, opened 3 years ago on the South Beach of Nessebar. Minimalistic (but very stylish and pleasant) interior.
The hotel has air conditioning at the reception and throughout the floors. The room is pleasant, no frills, but everything is very tasteful. Cleaning is daily, towels and bedding are changed every 3 days. On the day of arrival, we immediately checked all the devices in the room and found out that the hairdryer in the bathroom did not work, and the air conditioner did not turn on. Also found some small debris on the bed. After a call to the reception, three people of the staff ran to our room at once (!! ), the problems were eliminated on the same day. On all other days until the departure, there were no more questions. The staff is very courteous and welcoming. They speak Russian really badly, so sometimes I had to switch to English, as a result, a certain Russian-English mixture turned out in the conversation
The beach is right next to the hotel, which is very convenient for families with a small child, from the threshold of the elevator (which, if you press the Beach button, descends from each floor directly to the beach) to the water, roughly speaking, a few steps. The beach at the hotel is sandy, very clean, clear water, the bottom is flat. Sunbeds and umbrellas at the hotel are paid (until July 1 - 7 Bulgarian leva for an umbrella and 7 for a sunbed, from July 1 it has already become 10 leva), so we took our daughter on our shoulders and in the mornings went to the very end of the beach strip , to the free zone. In the evening, you can swim at the hotel, spreading a towel right on the sand, and there are almost no beach "controllers" at this time, and we were not disturbed.
Breakfast is monotonous and typical for such hotels (scrambled eggs, sausages, cheeses, muesli, milk), but we mostly leaned on pancakes, pancakes, fresh fruit, chocolate and fresh honey for baking. As for lunches and dinners, there are no problems with them in Nessebar, the choice of inexpensive establishments is unlimited. Our favorite restaurant (and by the way, I know it since 1999) is Vodopad (that is, Vodopad) on the street. Cyril and Methodius (in the new part of the city) - a Bulgarian-style establishment with a fairly large menu and very good prices. Don't confuse it with the "Waterfall" sign right in front of the hotel on the other side of the street, I don't know anything about the reputation of this place. A good lunch for me with my wife and child 2 years 8 months. cost an average of about 17 leva (about 8 euros, including beer for me) and for 25-30 leva two people can seriously overeat. Additionally, we bought fruits/products in the Mladost and Cherno More supermarkets, as well as a wide selection of fruits in numerous street shops.
In general, we had a very good rest for 2 weeks, it is a pity that due to the schedule of life it was not possible to stay there for another week.
I am in Nessebar for the 4th time, my wife - for the second time. But it was in this hotel that we decided to relax for the first time. The tour was arranged through the Kiev agency "Alma Tour", the host in Bulgaria - "Balkan Inter Travel". Thanks to them for the organization, everything is clear and timely, without delay.
The hotel is brand new, opened 3 years ago on the South Beach of Nessebar. Minimalistic (but very stylish and pleasant) interior.
The hotel has air conditioning at the reception and throughout the floors. The room is pleasant, no frills, but everything is very tasteful. Cleaning is daily, towels and bedding are changed every 3 days. On the day of arrival, we immediately checked all the devices in the room and found out that the hairdryer in the bathroom did not work, and the air conditioner did not turn on. Also found some small debris on the bed. After a call to the reception, three people of the staff ran to our room at once (!! ), the problems were eliminated on the same day. On all other days until the departure, there were no more questions. The staff is very courteous and welcoming. They speak Russian really badly, so sometimes I had to switch to English, as a result, a certain Russian-English mixture turned out in the conversation
The beach is right next to the hotel, which is very convenient for families with a small child, from the threshold of the elevator (which, if you press the Beach button, descends from each floor directly to the beach) to the water, roughly speaking, a few steps. The beach at the hotel is sandy, very clean, clear water, the bottom is flat. Sunbeds and umbrellas at the hotel are paid (until July 1 - 7 Bulgarian leva for an umbrella and 7 for a sunbed, from July 1 it has already become 10 leva), so we took our daughter on our shoulders and in the mornings went to the very end of the beach strip , to the free zone. In the evening, you can swim at the hotel, spreading a towel right on the sand, and there are almost no beach "controllers" at this time, and we were not disturbed.
Breakfast is monotonous and typical for such hotels (scrambled eggs, sausages, cheeses, muesli, milk), but we mostly leaned on pancakes, pancakes, fresh fruit, chocolate and fresh honey for baking. As for lunches and dinners, there are no problems with them in Nessebar, the choice of inexpensive establishments is unlimited. Our favorite restaurant (and by the way, I know it since 1999) is Vodopad (that is, Vodopad) on the street. Cyril and Methodius (in the new part of the city) - a Bulgarian-style establishment with a fairly large menu and very good prices. Don't confuse it with the "Waterfall" sign right in front of the hotel on the other side of the street, I don't know anything about the reputation of this place.

We rested with my husband and child (2.5 years) in Mirage, Nessebar. The memories are the best. The location of the hotel is very good - on the very shore (there is even a Beach button in the elevator : ), from the room to the beach - just a couple of minutes. The place is quiet, calm. The staff is friendly, always greet and smile.

We rested with my husband and child (2.5 years) in Mirage, Nessebar. The memories are the best. The location of the hotel is very good - on the very shore (there is even a Beach button in the elevator : ), from the room to the beach - just a couple of minutes. The place is quiet, calm. The staff is friendly, always greet and smile. Russian is understood. The room is clean, cleaned every day. There are a lot of foreigners in the hotel - English, Germans, there are also Bulgarians. There are two pools. To the old town - 15 minutes, no more (we walked with a child), to the Mladost supermarket (there products are much cheaper than in other places) - 7 minutes, to the exchanger - 5 minutes. Next to the bus stop to Burgas. The hotel offered only breakfast - a buffet, sausages, bacon, porridge, fried eggs, various breads, juices, tea, coffee, milk, etc. We went to dine in a bistro - the closest is near the Golden Fish restaurant (in the same building with it ) and near the Mladost supermarket, where the dishes are all ready, you don’t have to wait. We went on an excursion "Bulgarian village" - 45 lev per person, I liked it very much, fun, interesting, folk dances and walking on coals, I recommend visiting in order to get acquainted with the culture of the country. On our own we went to Sunny Beach (fare - 1 lev per person), St. Vlas (2 levs), Sozopol (12 levs). Most of all I liked Nessebar - there are more beaches, and there is no city bustle. Well, it's someone who likes to relax more. Separately about the beach. sun loungers and umbrellas are paid, you can lay your own towel in the aisle between the hotels or go to the free beach (15 minutes). But you can also near the pool and go down to the sea. The beach is very clean, the aunt walks all day and collects sticks, glasses and all kinds of garbage. Every 300 m there are lifeguards who whistle and do not allow you to swim far. Rested well. We have no regrets and recommend the hotel to everyone!

We rested at the hotel in August 2011. We arrived in Bulgaria by car from Russia. Family: husband, me and an adult son. We lived in apartments. The room was at the pool level. At first they worried how it would be. But in the end everything turned out well. And even some advantages. ))) The situation corresponds to the photos on the site.

We rested at the hotel in August 2011. We arrived in Bulgaria by car from Russia. Family: husband, me and an adult son. We lived in apartments. The room was at the pool level. At first they worried how it would be. But in the end everything turned out well. And even some advantages. ))) The situation corresponds to the photos on the site. In the kitchen-living room there is a refrigerator, a washing machine, a sink, a domino hob, an oven, a table and 4 chairs, in the living area there is a sofa bed, an armchair, a TV, a wall, a table. The bedroom has a bed, a wardrobe, a table with a mirror. We did not include food in the price. Breakfast sandwiches and coffee, or sent a messenger for pancakes. Near the hotel begins a line of different cafes. And here at the first cafe they were selling pancakes, they make them in front of you with fillings of your choice. We took with chocolate. As already mentioned, there are many cafes around. On the coastline a little more expensive. We had lunch at the Zlatna Ribka cafe. Everything is very delicious. I especially liked fish (gobies-popchettes, fried sprats, seafood), coverrma and, of course, Shopska salad. Dinner for 3 adults cost 600 rubles Russian. Behind the Zlatka Ribka cafe there is something like a dining room, you take a tray and they pour it into a plate for you if you wish. There, lunch cost 400 Russians. On the beach, umbrellas and sun loungers are paid. 20 lev for 1 sunbed or umbrella. It didn't come cheap. I wanted to spend money on something more valuable, so we went to a free piece of beach right next to the boat. The sea is good, warm, clean, shallow near the shore. The pool at the hotel is small, but I think there was enough space for everyone. It was possible to lie on a sunbed by the pool and, if desired, walk to the sea, swim and return back. You can buy ice cream and drinks by the pool. Compared to store prices 3-4 times more expensive. Around the corner is ice cream for 2 leva, here it is 7. Nearby there is a supermarket with normal prices. The supermarket has a culinary department, many people buy there. For a discussion of prices, I still won’t write about the rest and impressions. Of course, the biggest attraction of Nessebar is Old Nessebar. Old Nessebar is visible from almost all rooms overlooking the sea. From the hotel you can walk along the picturesque promenade. There are many different churches and architectural monuments in Old Nessebar. There is a pedestrian area. Roads paved with cobblestones. A very special atmosphere. Lots of souvenir shops and cafes. They sell beautiful handmade tablecloths and napkins. There is one of the few wine shops where you can buy Snow Wine. Also in Old Nessebar there are beautiful views of the sea, as it is surrounded by the sea from almost all sides. And it is especially beautiful in Old Neseb at night, amazing illumination.
Unfortunately, a small fly in the ointment:
1. The pipes in the toilet were leaking. It was unpleasant to come back from vacation and constantly see a puddle on the floor. We repeatedly contacted the reception, my uncle came, did something, but nothing changed.
2. In the living room, the air conditioner was junk. They came back and did it but nothing. .
3. parking is paid 2 euros / day, which is normal, but not everyone had enough key fobs from the barrier. Therefore, coming from a vacation, the problem began where and who to find, so that they would open it. Especially at night.
Since we were traveling by car, we saw a few more sights in Bulgaria. We went to Shipka, to the monument-museum of the Russian-Turkish war. We were in Kazanlak, in the Valley of Roses. We visited Varna, Dolphinarium and Seaside Park. In general, the rest was very pleasant. Bulgarians are wonderful and hospitable. The sea is wonderful and the sun is good, you don’t burn out on it. All year long we live wonderful impressions from the rest and dream of returning.

Stayed with friends in this hotel. 1. I really liked the hotel, everything is new, everything works, air conditioning, a hairdryer in the shower, I was pleased with the radio with several channels that the hotel itself broadcasts directly with different styles of music, and you can even listen to it in the shower : ) Great view from the balcony, sea, beach , old Nessebar.

Just an unforgettable experience. Descent from the hotel directly to the beach, 5 meters and you are in the clear warm sea. The staff is quite friendly both at the lobby bar and at the reception. Breakfast is so-so nothing special, but not disgusting, every morning there were fruits melon, watermelon, plums, oranges. in a general hotel 4+, it doesn’t reach five stars because of the small pool, its small territory. Those pictures that on all sites of rooms with kitchens are apartments that can be redeemed in the second part of the hotel, and the rooms are standard like everywhere else.
2. Nessebar in the hotel area, everything is quite clean, cultural, civilized, it feels like you are in a resort town, and not in the steppe with a dozen buildings! : ) There are just thousands of cafes in the area, there is a market nearby, there is also a cafe on the beach, Nice restaurant where they cook lamb on a skewer.
3. It's nice to take a walk along the old Nessebar, sit with a sea view in a restaurant with calm music.
In general, in Mirage and Nessebar you will find a quiet relaxing holiday, without any strain.
Of the shortcomings
- paid sunbeds and umbrellas for 7-10 lev, and the whole beach is so studded with them that there is nowhere to lie down on the bedding and annoying beach workers run around.
- Malibu rescuers are a separate conversation, sometimes they wanted their whistle somewhere...., in absolute calm calm sea, they hung out a yellow flag, and anyone who tried to swim on a mattress or from kids with circles fell under their cross whistle.
- cuisine for an amateur, the main thing is to find what you like, but in general they don’t know how to cook meat! first boiled, then fried, baked on the grill without any spices and sauces. So for an amateur.
- for the entire old and new Nessebar there are only 4 discos, 2 in hotels (folk - national music) and 2 so, one right under the hotel, on a ship at sea, captain jack, the second in old Nessebar.
All discos start working from 12 at night and somewhere up to 4. The people are mostly Bulgarian guys, who, in view of the difficult demographic situation, climb the tables and start dancing one in front of the other.
So if you want to enjoy walks around the city, quiet restaurants, a calm and very warm sea, then you are in Mirage, Nessebar, but if you are looking for party nightlife, then you are in Sunny Beach. But there the water on the beach is completely covered with blooming algae, not very nice! : )

We rested in Nessebar in mid-July at the Mirage 4 * hotel. The hotel is new, very beautiful, quiet, comfortable, located on the first line of the south coast. Standard room: double bed, LCD TV, air conditioning, small refrigerator, sea view in all rooms. Polite attitude on the part of the staff, though not very well understood in Russian.

You could go down to the beach by elevator, but the beach is paid (umbrella and two sunbeds 21-30 lev). To get to the free one you need to walk along the coast for 15 minutes.
Near the hotel there is a large shopping street, a supermarket with low prices and many restaurants and cafes. The old town is within walking distance. Both new and old Nessebar are clean and quiet cities.
The food is expensive (especially fish and veal), not at all dietary, although you can find something suitable if you wish. Portions are big.
Nessebar is suitable for a quiet and relaxing holiday. The impression of the rest was very pleasant.
