только не Созопоь just not Sozop

We went to rest in Bulgaria for 3 years, we always rested in Obzor. This year we decided to go to Sozopol, to the hotel Villa List. I chose for a very long time, read the reviews, took a chance. The weather was gorgeous up to 45 degrees, the sea 30 degrees. But I'll start from the very beginning. Arrived in Burgas. I have never seen such a disgrace at the airport even here in St. Petersburg. At passport control, we stood for 2 hours, we flew with two children 4.5 years old and 9 years old. the terminal is small, stuffiness, crush, as if we were in the 90s in line for sausage (if anyone remembers). They were looking for their tour operator for a long time, until they turned to the first agent they came across (helped, showed). Finally, we got into the car, here without any problems, we drove well. The hotel itself is well located, not far from the old town and the center. the staff is responsive, friendly. We took an apartment with a sea view. The room was on the second floor. The room is not bad (side), two rooms, one bedroom, with one large bed on a quiet street, the second is a living room overlooking the restaurant and a piece of view of the bay. Sofa bed for two children, but what a ! ! I think they decided that children and this will do. The sofa is probably 30 years old, or even more, A huge beam is stuffed across, the boxes under it are dispersed. In general, a nightmare. The whole day we walked, asked to change or put mattresses. They didn’t refuse, but they asked me to wait, finally a day later they brought mattresses (they took them from the sun loungers). This is the biggest minus in the room, in the guest desk, sink, mini fridge (where chips, snickers, gift mini vodka, juices are for a fee), air conditioners in every room. The room was cleaned every day, bed linen after 3 days, towels at will (at least every day, just need to be thrown on the floor), hairdryer, bath. Shampoo and gel were given out only upon arrival. Large loggia (two chairs, table, clothes dryer). The breakfasts are excellent, a wide variety of pastries, fruits, pancakes were drunk in front of you, different toppings. The kids had plenty to choose from. The pool is large, deep enough 1.40 deep, there was enough space for everyone, a children's pool in the shade, but also not bad. There is a children's room, but it is paid, there is a jacuzzi and an indoor pool. The pool has a nice pool bar where you can have a cheap lunch. Minus - the pool is open only from 10 to 18. There is a lobby bar. I do not recommend dining in the restaurant. because it's expensive. But we took buffet dinners. Everything is worthy of a very large selection of European cuisine (I do not advise taking all inclusive, since the pool bar and lobby bar are rented and you have to pay for everything. The hotels still have a gym, but basically all the simulators are turned off or broken, about the sauna I’m already silent, for 2 weeks I never got there (it was closed), the massage is good, it costs 30 leva. Minus to take sun loungers by the pool, I got up at 6 am. Once the lights were turned off. The hotel is located near the sea, this is a big plus, next to the Selena Hotel where live music plays every evening. A free disco for children every other day. Now about the sea. we didn’t like the sea, a lot of algae and dirty water, packages, glasses and all sorts of rubbish at the bottom, This is a bay, very shallow, but for small children the first 5 days we were unlucky, it was stormy, they were not allowed into the sea, although the waves were not big. The beach is small, mostly with paid sunbeds, a lot of glass, although the beach was cleaned every evening. We took a catamaran, saw a sea snake near the rocks. The city is very noisy many tourists, although the old city is very beautiful, small quiet streets, old houses. For children there is a park with attractions. Many cafes and restaurants, a lot of fish dishes, large portions. There is very little greenery in the city, there are not a single bench on the embankment, not to mention trash cans. Sozopol seemed to me an expensive resort both in terms of food and entertainment for children. Were in the Nessebar water park, I didn’t like it, it’s much better in Sunny Beach, but it’s not for everybody. Next year we will only go to Obzor. In Sozopol you can go only on an excursion, but not to rest. But despite all the cons, we had a good rest. If you have any questions please contact me, I will answer
