This year we decided to see what Bulgaria is like, and the prices turned out to be quite affordable.

First about the hotel. We drove, and were a little afraid of what might await us. However, upon arrival, they immediately realized that it was not just good here, but that this was one of the best vacation spots in Sunny Beach. Briefly list all the benefits:
1. The hotel is new, it is only in its fourth season, so everything is in excellent condition.
2. The rooms are spacious, brand new and match the pictures we saw in the descriptions.
3. Cleaning, change of bedding and towels every day, which corresponds to the level of the hotel. The staff is courteous, attentive, we arrived late in the evening due to a plane delay, but a small dinner was prepared for us in the restaurant. It only took a few minutes to set up and move in. There is no language problem at all, all the staff speaks Russian and English.

We were surprised that even the woman who cleans the room with us spoke Russian, and after a few minutes she answered quite decently to the Englishwoman.
4. The food is good, the products were of high quality, although the dishes are quite simple. Breakfast, as usual, had the same set, dinner dishes were constantly changing. Almost all fruits were present in the diet: apples, tangerines, grapefruits, cherries, watermelons, melons, peaches, apricots. Very tasty ice cream of different types, etc. You can also order one free dinner in a Bulgarian restaurant. At lunch, you can have a very inexpensive snack at the snack bar.
5. The hotel is located at the end of the resort, right at the foot of the mountains, which makes this place especially successful. We booked a standard room and got a mountain view. In a complex with other respectable hotels Majestic was in a small, quiet and tidy area.
6. It is also very fortunate that the territory goes directly to the sea.
Therefore, there was no need to pay for umbrellas and sunbeds. We lay near the pools and went swimming in the sea. Sunny Beach itself is a long line of hotels and complexes, and between the beach and the line of hotels there is a pedestrian alley, along which, shops, restaurants and various other buildings, crowds of people, and in the evening it all thunders and makes noise. I can not imagine how you can relax in such an environment. Before Majestic, there are practically no such establishments, and this is another plus in his favor.
7. During the day the animation is not bad. You can participate in various sports activities. For children (in general, there are a lot of families with children) there is a separate building, the so-called kid zone, an interesting program, every day a certain event by age. Mini disco in the evening. For adults, the evening program is weak, we did not go.

Minuses:
1. There were hitches with pool towels.
Had to wait a bit in the morning.

2. Since the Majestic is a solid hotel, the prices for additional services, and indeed in the area, are much higher. Later we found a small supermarket, opposite the beach, in the Sunny Victoria complex, with slightly different prices.

The hotel is mostly inhabited by Germans, British, Dutch, etc. Not very many Russians. Among Ukrainians, as I understand it, for some reason he is not very popular. The weather was beautiful all 14 days sunny, about 30 degrees, and despite the beginning of the season the sea is warm 25-27 degrees. Some days the water was clear, and after the wind for several days it was cloudy and with algae.
Evenings will not be boring, as in the resort itself you can find all kinds of entertainment for every taste.
There are no sights nearby, except for old Nessebar. You can get there by regular bus for 1 lev. Worth a trip. We also went to Varna on our own and were very sorry.
There is nothing standing there. We took a 2-day excursion to Istanbul, but that's a completely different story!

The impressions were the best due to the fact that the weather was fine, and Majestic turned out to be the most successful option for Bulgaria. And don't forget the Bulgarian cuisine and fine Bulgarian wines!
