Good day! Thanks to the people who write reviews - it helps! When reading a review, be guided by those who wrote.
We (family: 28 years old mother, 30 years old father and 2.5 daughters. No preconceived requirements, but mother, i. e. I am quite meticulous and economical).
We took a tour package from the Balkan Express travel agency (we won’t go with them again) !! ! I will explain why: the main claim to them is the return flight: they flew from Burgas with a change in Sofia !!! ! In Sofia, the entire plane was dropped off and asked to go through customs again, and then put on the same plane, waited another 40 minutes, then flew to Moscow! In advance, no one informed about such an inconvenient flight (they flew there on a direct flight)! There were a lot of kids flying on the plane, they were all very tired, capricious. We chose Bulgaria, among other things, because of a short flight (normally 2 hours), but it turned out that we flew back 4.00 !!!! ! No one explained anything and did not apologize for the inconvenience, they fed only in the evening, the crew of Bulgaria Air did not want to speak Russian, the attitude was boorish!! ! But as it turned out, this is not a force majeure, but a new practice of the Balkan Express! Upon arrival, I wrote a review on their site (quite decently abusive, they deleted it! )

About the hotel: At first I didn't really like Apolis, but then I got used to it. Pros: 1) Very good food. there is not much meat, but it is quite possible to eat, at home I don’t cook 5 dishes for the evening. for breakfast: scrambled eggs or eggs, pastries, jams, honey. butter, bread, soy sausages (Not very), cereal, milk, cheese squares, donuts, coffee, tea, cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes. for dinner: Shopska salad, tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage salad, 2 types of side dishes and 2 types of meat, vegetable casseroles with meat, soups (chicken, lentil, potato, with meatballs - alternate) For small children, soups are good - everything is moderately salted and peppered . fruits (watermelon, peaches). The hotel is inexpensive, did not count on chic food. The child was bought a chic product - sour milk, ate with pleasure! Dinner from 18 to 19 o'clock by the end of the meal there is little left, they are prepared with the calculation.
My husband was not used to having dinner so early, at 18 he ate sluggishly, in the evening they bought more pancakes and all sorts of things!
They sell chic fruits on the street: strawberries, peaches, cherries, they fed themselves and the baby with vitamins! It is expensive on the main street, cheaper in secluded streets, fruit is not very good in supermarkets, although cheaper!
2) To the sea: five minutes on foot - they spotted when taking into account that they stomped with a child and a stroller sometimes. Hotel on a small hill. My husband has lost some weight.
3) I liked Harmani Beach. Quite clean, the sea is clean! ! Went to the free zone. We bought an umbrella (about 300 rubles. I brought my own bedding with me from Moscow) Beach equipment (mattresses, armlets, circles, etc. ) - cheaper than in Moscow. The sea is beautiful, it was stormy for 2 days! The water was cold during our stay. Everyone was swimming!
4) The hotel room is normal, sea view only from the top floor, carpet on the floor, 2 beds pushed together - uncomfortable!!!!! ! There is a hole in the floor in the bathroom - in Bulgaria this is apparently the norm. I mean the shower pours from above and everything flows down onto the tiled floor in which the hole is not very pleasant. They clean normally, I didn’t find fault (anyway, they were mostly on the beach and walked a lot)
Cons: 1) In the first days there was a tension with hot water, it was barely warm, we were told to open the faucet and drain the water, then it will go hot, late in the evening at 24.00 there was some warming of the water, and after 4 days it seems like water supply was established!
2) Bed (who cares, but I need a double bed, so that when hugging me I don’t fall into a hole) Let me explain: the beds are shifted and sheets are laid and there is no common mattress. I don’t know why I’m writing, maybe it doesn’t matter to others.

3) The weather was cool, it was raining!!! ! She was upset about this and scolded, because. in Moscow they passed 35 grams, but here in Sogopol-city we don’t swim in the sun. We returned to Moscow and after 3 weeks of sweltering heat, further smoke, I realized that nature does not have bad weather. But the child did not have acclimatization. But you still need to go probably at the beginning, or even the middle of July.
4) The travel agency Balkan Express spoiled the impressions of the rest on the return flight, the guide appeared at the hotel once.
We didn’t take excursions, we walked a lot around the old city! We went to restaurants a couple of times (I really liked the Mehana Chuchura restaurant in the old town, I advise you!!! ! We are delighted. Thank you all, sorry for the mistakes in the text.
