Удачный выбор Good choice

Yesterday we returned from Bulgaria. We rested at the Grand Victoria Hotel in Sunny Beach. They chose between Crimea and Bulgaria in order to celebrate a birthday. In the end, we decided to refresh the memories of the 90s by choosing Bulgaria. In short, rest in this hotel is a good alternative to expensive Crimean hotels. The hotel itself is located on the first line, which makes it possible to avoid extra costs for paying for an umbrella and sunbeds, which on the beach will cost 7 leva each, since they are free near the pool. But, to be fair, the Black Sea of ​ ​ the Crimean coast on the South Coast differs significantly from its namesake in Sunny Beach in its color, transparency and proximity to mountain peaks. This is not the case here - the sea is shallow and due to swamp-colored algae teeming in it. Or maybe we were so “lucky” because it was restless all the time. But the joy of children, who build entire fortresses out of sand. The beaches of Bulgaria, as well as in the Crimea, are completely occupied by the “beach mafia” and not every hotel allocates to its vacationers a small “reservation” free of sunbeds. Opposite Grand Victoria, there was such a lane, fenced with a rope. Entrance to the beach is free. As for the hotel itself, it compares favorably both in cleanliness and in the provision of services from the Crimean service. Settled without delay, in a good room, but with a view of the mountains (with our requirement of the view of the sea). They called the manager, who explained that the studios are located in such a way that we will not see the sea. I had to settle down, and immediately everything was pleasant. And what a surprise it was when, after 2 days, they called with a proposal to consider the option of moving to a room where you can still see it (the sea), and we, of course, moved. We had “all inclusive” - we used everything: a restaurant with 3 meals a day and two bars, in one of which, with a variety of alcoholic drinks, all day long sweet tooth can enjoy all kinds of cakes, jelly and ice cream, and in the other, with the same variety of alcohol, fast foods. There was more than enough food. Both meat and vegetable dishes were prepared with great soulfulness, and therefore everything was delicious. Great variety of fruits. In the restaurant itself, its visitors pour red and white wine from barrels on their own, and in the bar they serve bartenders who are very different in temperament from Turkish ones. Apparently, some kind of natural slowness, but when serving, they did not make preferences for any nationality. The hotel, in the absence of visible luxury, creates a good impression. Bedding and towels (3 pieces per nose) were changed with the same frequency as promised. Cleaning every day. There are no complaints about the staff or the "price-quality". In addition, I had to pay for a safe in the room and Wi-Fi. On our part, there were no disappointments about the refusal of the reservation in Miskhor in favor of Bulgaria. We went around the entire coast, and therefore I advise you to walk along the coast to Nessebar, and you can return by bus. If you tune in to the positive, you will like everything, except for the airport in Burgas, where not only I received a shock from the control of the number of lipsticks in the bag. According to the experience of Turkey, there is an understanding that no liquid is allowed, but that they regulate the amount of lipsticks and at the same time oblige them to seal the excess in a plastic bag for 2 leva, which is not worth 2 kopecks. then there are no words!! ! So I warn all women: it is better to take all cosmetics in luggage. And further! It is better to buy pink cosmetics in Bulgaria, buying it for levs, because in Duty Free the price is the same, but in euros. Have a good holiday everyone!! !
