I will make a reservation right away - we are in Bulgaria for the first time. And that is why the resort was chosen for a long time and scrupulously. Among the preferences were: silence, forest, clean beach, all-inclusive. We got everything at once in the offer of Arkutino Family Resort, where the hotel is located in the middle of the nature reserve. I'll start with the disadvantages. Or rather, from a disadvantage, since he is the only one. These are mosquitoes (although they are many times smaller than in Ukrainian resorts and they are not so arrogant. Biting, they do not buzz in the ear). And there is nothing surprising in this. Not far from the hotel is the Rapotamo nature reserve, the basis of which is a swamp. It is to look at it and its inhabitants that tourists are brought from all over Bulgaria. and here - only 2 leva and you are in the thick of things. In the hotel rooms, mosquitoes are provided only on the windows and vents. There are no balcony doors. Therefore, if you stock up on a raid or something like that, you are always guaranteed fresh air in the room and the chirping of birds, pleasing to the ear. ABOUT NUMBER My husband and I rested in a double, without bells and whistles. This is a small room, with a corridor, a room of 10 meters and a bathroom. Hot water is always available, as each room has a boiler. There is no power outage. The hotel is the newest, so the furniture and all communications are practically untouched by anyone. In the hallway - a spacious closet with different compartments. and even a refrigerator. The room has a double bed, TV, air conditioning, telephone, night table, mirror, hair dryer (the hair dryer is weak. It is only suitable for light drying of hair. If you are used to styling, take your own). On the balcony - clothes dryer and plastic furniture. They take out the garbage from the room and carry out wet cleaning daily. The bed is changed every two days. Soap, shampoo and shower gel are included. I eat with my husband from Moldova, so for us there were no special differences in the dishes. Everything is familiar and, in principle, nothing unusual. Like everywhere else there is a buffet. Breakfast is always the same food. Traditional for breakfast. Boiled eggs, skrob, scrambled eggs, fried bacon, sausages, sausage, cheese, vegetables, Shopska salad, pancakes. On a separate table - kefir, yogurt, cereal, muesli. Milk, tea, coffee. But lunches and dinners are varied. Twice a week themed dinner. We had sea food and traditional Bulgarian food. According to the theme - serving. I liked the food, the dishes were always clean, the service was friendly. Drinks are light, beer, wine and spirits flow like water. mixes are made at the veranda, in the lobby bar and by the pool - alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails, alcohol, non-alcoholic drinks are served: fanta, cola, sprite. There are no juices. The snack bar always has fresh fast food: pizza, french fries, and some kind of meat. All food and drink all-inclusive is available from 10.30 - to 22.30. Further, for the money you can drink and eat at the a la carte restaurant, which is open until midnight. Also, drinks of any strength are served in the piano bar, which welcomes guests from 22.30 to 4 in the morning. I want to note that the prices are very reasonable, surprisingly low for us. We left 60 leva (500 lei) at the bar, along with a tip, and at the same time I got drunk - tequila (6 leva at a time), my husband - whiskey (5 leva serving). In our Moldovan bars, a spree with the use of such drinks is many times more expensive. ENTERTAINMENT Animation, darts, fitness, tennis - free of charge. Once a week - evening of Bulgarian folklore with folk dance on coals. For adults who love to relax with taste, welcome to the paid piano bar. I specifically decided to single out this underground, as I remained in the highest delight from what I saw and heard. The interior is striking, for a rather prim hotel setting with wooden furniture, this bar showed the top of hi-tech, in a combination of black and white tones. The drinks are real, the head didn’t hurt in the morning, but the hangover was felt. The pianist is a real maestro. A white piano, a burning young brunette in a black shirt with small white stripes, pleasant vocals. He can do everything. Blues, jazz, rock and roll, chanson, pop and even rock. You set the tone for the evening. BEACH is called wild here. When communicating with the attendants (they know three languages: Bulgarian, German, English). There is also one Russian bartender who has been living in Bulgaria for 5 years. So. He explained that the beach is called wild because it is not cleaned. But to be honest, it is very clean, there are no corn cores buried in the sand, and feces do not float in the sea, which is often found in Ukrainian resorts. Few algae. And they appear only before the storm. The beach itself is located in the bay. Therefore, to the real depth, it will take a long time to go by sea. PS Holidays in this hotel are suitable for romantic lovers and couples, including those with very young children. In our check-in there was a German couple with a baby of 3 months. By the way, the guests of the hotel - for the most part - Bulgarians and Germans. There were two Romanian families, one Russian and we are the first Moldovans in this resort)))
