Rested a family of 3 for 10 days in the second half of July.
Tour operator - Join Up, host company - Solvex.
We were checked into the room immediately upon arrival (around 12:00).
The room is quite spacious for three people.
The windows overlooked the alley near the main entrance.
Since the sound insulation is weak, in my opinion, it does not matter which way the windows face - the sounds of nightlife will be heard everywhere, and if the windows overlook the pool, then it will be noisy in the room during the day.
There is a balcony with two chairs and a table and a clothes dryer.
One double bed + folding chair-bed.
The bed is large and the mattress is comfortable. Bed linen is clean and fresh.
There are two towels per person in the room. If you put them on the floor, they will definitely change during cleaning.
From cosmetics - only soap in two dispensers. Bring your own shampoo or buy it locally.
Bathroom combined. Medium size. Shower cabin.
Plumbing is not new, but works well. Large mirror. Fen.
There is also a small refrigerator in the room (every day they put a bottle of 0.5 liters of water without gas in it), a wardrobe with a lot of clothes hangers and several bedside tables.
There are enough sockets to charge three or four devices at the same time.
The TV is small (diagonal about 20 inches). More than 40 channels, including several Russian-language ones (ORT, NTV, RTR planet and others).
The air conditioning in the room worked well and the temperature was very easy to control.
Cleaning was carried out every day between 10 am and 12 pm, but not very carefully.
After reading the reviews, we took a fumigator with us. But they didn't have to use it. There is a protective net on the balcony - for the entire period only one mosquito flew into the room.
By the way, on the street in general, mosquitoes were not noticed.
The pool is clean. It is obvious that he is being taken care of.
The water is quite cool in the morning, gradually warming up in the evening. Depth 1.2 - 1.6 meters.
There is a small pool with a slide for children.
When the hotel is full, there are not enough sunbeds for everyone.
Places start to take up very early (the impression is that from 6 o'clock in the morning). At 10:00 to find a free seat is very problematic.
Sunbeds are plastic, battered.
There are several umbrellas that protect quite well from the sun.
Medium sized beach towels. Mostly old and worn out. But sometimes there are completely new ones.
If necessary, towels can be changed at least several times a day.
Food for a hotel of this level is tasty and varied.
There is always fresh fruit for lunch and dinner. As far as I understand, the range depends on the season. We had watermelons, melons, nectarines, peaches, two types of grapes, apples. A couple of times there were pears.
In addition to fruit, always at least three types of meat (pork and veal - all the time, rabbit and lamb - sometimes), various soups, several side dishes, cheeses, vegetables. Fish and seafood - rare.
For breakfast, scrambled eggs, pancakes, cereals, canned fruits (peaches, strawberries), cheeses, vegetables.
Large assortment of sweets. they are different in appearance but very similar in taste and mostly buttercream.
In general, the hotel is very difficult to stay hungry.
As soon as the main restaurant closes, a snack bar opens by the pool. There is a large assortment of fast food: french fries, waffle fritters, pizza, nuggets, etc.
Constantly and in the main restaurant, and in the snack bar there are several types of ice cream.
The quality of drinks is much inferior to the quality of food. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are mostly local, only vaguely reminiscent of well-known world brands in taste.
Juices are simply diluted powdered concentrate.
Cocktails are also made using concentrate from bags.
To get some original cocktail, you need to leave a tip to the bartender.
Coffee from coffee machines is quite tasty. I recommend trying cocoa.
Large selection of tea bags.
After 23:00 you have to pay for drinks. For example, a glass of cola is 2 leva.
A huge disadvantage of restaurants is that they wash dishes very poorly. Be careful when choosing a plate.
The hotel area is very small. In addition to the pool and sun loungers around it, there is also a stage with several rows of chairs for spectators, a tent where children's competitions are held, two tennis tables, a mini-mini-golf course and a few simple exercise machines.
Tennis rackets and golf clubs can be obtained from the animators, leaving a deposit of 20 leva.
There are many animators. Everyone is responsible for their part of the work. Girls work mainly with children (drawing, contests, entertainment, etc. during the day).
), boys - hold sports competitions.
The program is rich, you will not be bored.
In the evening - necessarily thematic concert.
A little about the additional service.
Safes are located on the first floor. Mostly small. You can leave only documents, money, jewelry. There are slightly larger safes in the bottom row. The cost is 5 leva per day.
Car parking near the hotel - 20 leva per day. At 50 meters from the Kalina Garden, between the Iberostar hotel and the nightclub, parking with video surveillance costs 10 BGN per day.
Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. Even in the rooms. Unfortunately, the signal is very unstable - sometimes you can watch movies, and sometimes messages in Viber do not go away for several minutes.
To the sea about 7 minutes walking distance. Given the randomness of the development, it turns out that the hotel is not on the second, but on the third, or even on the fourth line.
At the same time, the rescuers took this calmly and did not demand to return, even when the sea was rough.
The hotel is located very close to all kinds of entertainment - discos, nightclubs, "luna park". There are a lot of young people walking around until the morning and screaming loudly.
Sometimes it can be very difficult to fall asleep even with the windows closed.
There are a lot of souvenir shops nearby. The assortment of all is approximately the same, but the prices can vary significantly.
Shopping is best away from the main streets.
The best prices for groceries (including rose petal jam) and household goods in the Mladost store. It is approximately 20 minutes walk from the hotel. You need to go out to the main street (the road connecting Nessebar and Varna), turn left, walk to the Vanya store and turn right. After that, walk for about 150 meters and turn right again.
It is best to change money in a bank.
For comparison, the exchange rate is 1.905 leva per euro, and in Postbank - 1.947 leva per euro.
The nearest Postbank branch is a 5-minute walk from the hotel. Need to get out
to the main street, turn left and walk about 200 meters.
You can rent a car at one of the many rental points. Price from 28 euros for a small car with a manual transmission.
We took a Citroen C1 with an automatic transmission for 33 euros (a deposit of 50 euros is returned upon delivery of the car).
From the sights you can see the old Nessebar. Bus number 1 leaves every 15 minutes from a stop located on the main road. Exit the hotel and cross the road. The cost is 1.3 leva.
The city is very beautiful, but the impression is spoiled by a huge number of souvenir shops.
We also traveled by car to Varna, Balchik (the residence of the Romanian queen), Shumen and Madara. The road is long. Impressions, except for the residence of the queen, were much lower than expected.
Wouldn't go a second time. In Balchik, you need to pay first for the entrance to the botanical garden (8 levs for an adult ticket, 3 levs for a child), and then for the entrance to the residence (11 levs - a "family" ticket - two adults, two children).
In my opinion, the hotel, with the exception of a few points (described above), corresponds to the declared class, and judging by the reviews, it is one of the best in Sunny Beach in terms of price-quality combination
