Hey! I want to share my impressions about the rest in the apart-hotel Obzor Beach Resort. Maybe my experience will help someone decide on the choice of hotel.
I must say right away that this hotel is located in the small town of Obzor, or rather the village. So the rest there is rustic, calm. No nightly entertainment, except for one nightly disco - no.
Actually, that's what attracted me. I wanted to relax with the children in a quiet place, without the fuss, without the hustle and bustle on the beach and the eternal race for sunbeds by the pool.
The hotel itself is fairly new and clean. The hotel has playgrounds and a children's playroom. I really liked the spa. There is also a gym and a hairdresser. The prices in the SPA are affordable - I really enjoyed visiting it.

Our room was wonderful - overlooking the sea, with two bedrooms and a kitchen-living room, and I was also pleasantly surprised - two bathrooms. The cleaning lady came every day, changed the towels every three days, but if I asked to change more often, there were no problems. You can eat at the restaurant in the hotel. But it was easier and cheaper for me (and most importantly, tastier) to cook it myself, because. I had small children with me. The restaurants are very expensive, not tasty, the service is bad, sometimes you had to wait a long time for free tables. All this is not worth the money they ask. Many vacationers bought only breakfast, or breakfast - dinner. We had breakfast and lunch at home, and went to Obzor for dinner. By the way, in the town itself in any cafe it was cheaper and much tastier to have dinner.
The hotel has two small supermarkets where you can buy everything you need (butter, milk, yogurt, etc. ). If you need to buy something meat or goods for children, there is a large supermarket in the town, where there is even baby food. As for vegetables and fruits, we had to look for markets. It turned out to be quite small, but you can buy the necessary vegetables and fruits.
Now I’ll tell you separately about the pool and the beach. Each building has a swimming pool (for adults and for children) with sun loungers and umbrellas. It was here that we occupied sunbeds, not the beach. On the beach, umbrellas and sun loungers are paid. Why pay a lot of money when you can walk 50 meters to the sea and pay nothing! The beach has all the necessary water activities. The sand on the beach is clean, fine - super! What can not be said about the water in the pool. For the first time in my life I saw brown water in the pool. Apparently the hotel administration saved on filters or reagents. This is the biggest downside of the hotel. There is entertainment at the hotel, but there are not many of them: a disco (such as a night one), it is also a bar, billiards, slot machines, etc. Not far from the hotel there is a large night disco, but experts said that it is also for a certain taste.
The hotel is about 1 km from Obzor. Therefore, you can get there on foot, which is not very fast and not always pleasant (you have to walk along the roadway), by horse-drawn carriage (quite expensive) or by a train beloved by children (open multi-colored wagons are attached to the car) - the most optimal form of transportation. There is also a taxi - you can get there more expensive than by train, cheaper than by carriage. So choose according to your taste and budget. The schedule of the train is very convenient, every half an hour from the hotel to the center of Obzor and back.

We also went on an excursion with the whole family to the Dolphinarium (Varna) and to the water park - we liked it very much - I recommend it.
And in conclusion, I can sum up my story. If you want to relax inexpensively and without frills - this is what you need. My children were delighted and ask to go there again.
