Rested with a child (1.4 months) at the Olymp Hotel from 16.06-27.06. 16. In general, we are very satisfied with the rest. We bought a ticket in Alina tour, flew through the Biblio Globe. There are no special claims against them, only inaccurate information is provided. They confused us with permission to leave for the consulate, they figured it out for a very long time. We flew with Wim avia. There were few reviews about her, mostly Moscow and all negative. We were already prepared for the worst, but in the end everything went well. The only thing was that they were supposed to take off at 14:40, and at the last moment the flight was moved to 3:20 at night (because of the summit). And when we flew back, the flight was delayed for 2 hours (due to bad weather in St. Petersburg). But time flew by quickly. The planes are good, clean, comfortable to sit, the staff is polite. Food and drink for the child was passed without problems. It took 3.15 hours to fly there, and 2.50 hours to return. It took about 1.5 hours from the airport to the hotel. At 9 am we were already at the hotel. At the reception they said that early check-in costs 15 euros, if you don’t want to pay, then wait until 2 pm. It was very unpleasant and for such an attitude the hotel is a huge minus. We saw that with a small child, tired and hungry and tearing up money, although our room was cleaned and free. Usually, on the contrary, they go towards tourists, but here they earn as they can. Our room was a studio apartment on the first floor overlooking the pool. During the day and in the evening, children run and squeal loudly, and it’s quiet enough, no music, no discos, no bar. The hotel is mostly Russian and some Bulgarians. At the hotel there is a Mekhana restaurant, we didn’t eat there, we cooked it ourselves, but according to reviews they said it was delicious. You have to pay extra for a baby cot and iron. And even for meals in a restaurant for a child under two years old, if your package includes breakfast or dinner, you have to pay extra. Near the hotel there are several supermarkets, but in my opinion, everything is very expensive. Prices are about the same as in St. Petersburg, something even more expensive. Baby purees, for example, - 2.35 lev, water 11 liters - 3.90 lev. About 20 minutes from the hotel there is a large Mercury store, there is more choice than in supermarkets, but in general an ordinary store. Not far from the hotel there are shops with rose goods, these are the most common souvenirs from Bulgaria. Shampoos about 4 lev, creams and perfumes about 10 lev. There are many exchangers, the guide advised us to exchange at Crown exchangers. The euro exchange rate is 1.905. The hotel has a small playground, next to the hotel there is a paid playground, 30 min-7 lev, 1 h-10 lev. There are trampolines, and balls, and slides and a lot of interesting things for the child. There is also a vegetable and fruit shop nearby, everything is local and very tasty, although also a little expensive. The room was cleaned every day, towels changed every three days, bedding once a week. Cleaned not perfect, but quite tolerable. There are very few utensils in the kitchen, two small saucepans, forks, spoons, knives, cups, plates, bowls and that's it. There wasn't even a frying pan. There is also a kettle, toaster, small fridge, microwave. There is no hair dryer. TV catches a lot of Russian channels. The room has a large bed, sofa, coffee table, built-in kitchen, wardrobe, table, chairs and TV cabinet. In the bathroom there is only a shower and a tray, there is not even a curtain and everything spills onto the floor. Walk 5-7 minutes to the beach. The beach is sandy, at the entrance somewhere a little bit of small pebbles, somewhere sand. The sea is very warm and clear in the morning. The waves were all the time of our holiday, but we had a great swim, the child was happy. Sunbeds and umbrellas are paid, about 8 lev, in my opinion. At the entrance to the beach there is a small stall with everything you need for the beach, and umbrellas, and towels, and balls, and molds. In general, you can buy everything there for children, and not take it with you. Corn on the beach costs 2.5 lev, a glass with strawberries, raspberries or cherries 5 lev. The beach is also mostly Russians and Bulgarians. From several people I heard that the kids grabbed the infection, mostly in the pool, I guess. We did not swim in the pool and thank God we did not get sick. You also need to pay attention that under standard insurance, when applying, you will have to pay extra 50 euros (franchise). In general, we liked the rest, it was hot, the sea is excellent, the hotel is quite acceptable.
