Очень хорошо Very good

When I took the tour, this hotel was the cheapest 3-star hotel in Golden Sands. This, of course, was seriously annoying, as was the lack of reviews on the Internet. But I decided to take a chance : ).
Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised. Very nice hotel, clean, small, cozy and very, very quiet. During our stay, people were not met at all and I thought that the hotel was half empty : ) Russians, Germans, and Bulgarians live, both pensioners and young people.
One of the main advantages I think is the proximity (5 minutes walk) from the Riviera, a closed complex, but the beach is still municipal and anyone can relax there. A very large free zone, unlike Golden Sands, you didn’t have to pay for anything. There were few people, always, no matter what time they came, they found enough free space.

We went to Varna for fruits, because on the way to the beach they are very expensive and tasteless, in general, the same as those bought at home in a stall, only 2 times more expensive. In Varna, at the collective farm market, they bought the juiciest grapes, plums, nuts and watermelons for absolutely ridiculous money.
Yes, the hotel is located at the very beginning of Golden Sands, but it takes 15 minutes to walk to the resort center along the streets with shops and cafes.
What I didn’t like is that it’s very unkempt, of course, Bulgaria is very far from Europe. Untidy greenery, 10 meters from the territory of a 5-star hotel - a garbage dump! What really surprised me was that practically everywhere in cafes and restaurants for visitors there are paid toilets! 0.5-1 lev (10-20 rubles). And even in those where football fans are invited to watch broadcasts of matches and diligently singing beer!
Of the excursions - we went to Istanbul - and this is perhaps the most interesting. The city of 18 million inhabitants, centuries-old history, mosques - everything made a huge impression. The bus was really not very comfortable, but then slept in the hotel.
We took another excursion - to Balchik and Cape Kaliakra. Balchik is again a dirty village, Cape Kaliakra is a very beautiful place.
By the way, the situation with souvenirs in Bulgaria is very funny : ) On the stalls you can find a bunch of everything, even from a country that does not belong to: ) For example, wooden tree frogs, which are brought from Thailand, Dutch shoes, naturally everywhere "Bulgaria" : ). Therefore, they brought rose jam and rose oil : )
Rested very well. True, it is unlikely that we will ever return to Bulgaria...
