I was not going to rest at that moment, but since a smoke screen fell on Moscow, I decided to dump the whole family somewhere, but the problem was that this would not affect the family budget (the trip was unplanned). For three, everything cost 27.000 (tour for two plus a child of two years) and visas for 65 Euros per person. The hotel, as I understand it, has two buildings: 2 and 3 stars. 3-star hotels are distinguished by the presence of air conditioning and some sophistication of design (it can be seen that the designer has worked). I took a regular two star room. Nothing special - clean, in light whitish-cream colors, a fairly powerful fan (by the way, I didn’t want air conditioning, and this time I realized the real advantages of the fan, though there was no terrifying Moscow heat, at + 35 the fan would not help). But the locals say that they don't have such heat. Apparently the sea does not allow the weather to clear up. Balcony overlooking the adjacent vacant lot. True, if you do not look at it, then further the view of the roofs of neighboring hotels and the sea.
Breakfast is very modest (tea, coffee, croissants, cheese, butter). And the Bulgarians, as I understand it, book without breakfast at all, stick out to the sea all day. The administrator told us where in Ravda the best cafes in terms of price and quality, and we had lunch and dinner only there. Didn't cheat.
The entrance to the hotel is 30 meters from the central resort road, behind which there is a pioneer camp on the seashore and the sea itself behind it. They went to the sea either directly through the camp (only 200-300 meters) or bypassing the camp past other functioning and unfinished hotels. All the hotels are small, the unfinished ones were being finished and next year, apparently, everything will work. Directly at the reception every day they took inflatable mattresses (10 rubles a day), it’s cool to lie in the sea right on the water on a mattress. The beach is not very wide and we went 100 meters away to the rocky part, where large stone boulders alternate with a sandbank, that's where we were located between the boulders. One day there was a strong surf on the sea and a lot of algae washed up on the shore. Then they were apparently washed away at night. In general, when there is no strong surf, the water is completely transparent - you can see the bottom of the fish. They returned to Moscow as if they were in a gas chamber. I had to leave for a month, at least. By the way, food in restaurants cost almost less than we spend on shops in Moscow. And our restaurants cannot be compared at all.

There is also a huge water park in Ravda, but we didn’t go there: my son is still too small
