Bulgaria is a country of good and good-natured people. The language can be understood. A bit trashy. Levs go, that is, 1 lev - 15 hryvnias, or 100 dollars - 175 levs. Hryvnias are not exchanged there, so take euros or dollars with you. If you want to go to Golden Sands, but there are no plane tickets to Varna, you will have to drive from Burgas for about 3 hours.

Tour operator ALF (host of ALMA Holidays). Nothing good, but nothing bad to say either. Driver Zlatko is good. He drove me qualitatively and quickly, provided free wi-fi in the car, and when he drove back he agreed with the hotel and reminded us to take dry rations. But the agent himself did not deign to visit us, he had to call and ask for her to come and then they heard the question: "What should I come? ". There are no free tours, and paid ones are 3 times more expensive than street ones. By the way, excursions offered on the street from 30-50 lev.

Chose a quick budget vacation. We stopped our attention at this hotel, flattered by all inclusive. Upon arrival, we noticed the dishes that had not been removed from the terrace tables since the evening, Dirt on the floor of the reception. There are crumbs and hair on the tables. This pattern continued throughout the week. There are not enough seats in the restaurant for everyone, sometimes you had to wait with a full plate in your hands for someone to eat and sit in his place. There are no fruits. They give only watermelon, tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage and lettuce from vegetables. It is better to keep silent about hygiene in a restaurant. The tablecloths are dirty, there are crumbs and drops from soup and ketchup all around. the bed in the rooms, with the rules of change every four days, was not changed even once. Not to mention cleaning the bathroom. Cleaning their room meant changing the toilet paper and wiping the sand off the floor with a wet rag in prominent places. The elevator worked intermittently during the entire check-in. And it's in an 11-story building. The pool is small with 10 sun loungers. That is, a sun lounger per floor))). The hotel does not have any means to provide medical assistance to the vacationer, even bandages and cotton wool. Nobody cares about insurance. Wi-fi in the hotel is paid and bad. But the most disgusting thing is the rudeness of the staff: in the restaurant, at the reception, in the lobby bar. Everyone acts like you owe them money and haven't been around for a long time. Moreover, there is a share of nationalism, well, and the cherry on the cake is the ignorance of the Russian language by the staff. We decided that this hotel is no longer a foot.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel at the beginning of September. We are both pensioners and therefore, when choosing a hotel, the price was of the main importance for us. I read the reviews and I'm surprised, someone was well fed here, happy people. Sovdepovskaya toshnilovka under the loud name of the restaurant delighted us throughout the entire period, with the same assortment: Cold pasta, rotten stewed vegetables, also invariably cold, cakes with mold, never saw fruit and, oddly enough, tomatoes and the famous bell pepper are the same, from pastries in the afternoon, three cookies.

As it turned out later, a man who runs between the tables in the so-called restaurant, collects and washes dishes and floors, is also our cook, so we stopped being surprised at anything and began to treat what was happening philosophically. We talked with other vacationers, the first impression of the hotel is about the same for everyone: "you need to run away from here. "The rooms also leave much to be desired: Shabby walls, mold, shabby furniture, washed linen of an indefinite age, it is useless to complain about something, of course they will listen to you carefully, at best. If you are going to this hotel, do not take all inclusive, one breakfast is enough, but you can have a normal lunch on the street, there are a lot of cafes on every corner, at least they won’t poison them, and the prices are real. As for the sea, do not go to the central beach to swim, most of the beach is paid, you have to huddle on a narrow strip of sand near the sea, where they will step over you all the time, breathe on you with fumes and tobacco smoke, some vacationer who brazenly threw his rugclose to yours. But not everything is so bad. We found a beach where you can easily bask on the sand and swim in a calm sea without waves. If you go to the right from the central beach, literally 100 m, there will be a Riviera hotel beach, there is enough free space on the sand and an abandoned pier blocks the beach from a big wave, the sea is calm there, an ideal place for swimming with children. Despite all the inconveniences, the overall impression of Bulgaria remained good, we will gladly go again, but not to this hotel.

I wanted to have a budget vacation in Golden Sands.
The choice fell on a deuce. We did not expect much from the hotel.
The room had a bed, bedside tables, a small CRT TV, air conditioning. We took it with breakfast, dined near the beach with snacks, and dined in cafes with live music and national dishes. We only slept in the room, from the minuses - there is no refrigerator in the room. Sovdepovskaya hotel, where I spent my childhood in Sochi with my parents, so the general impression, but I'm not complaining, something like that was expected. The food is so-so, for breakfast we mostly took coffee with buns or bread with butter and jam, sometimes their cottage cheese , sausages, etc. not very tasteful.
Wi-Fi at the reception, when there are a lot of people, it slows down very scary. There is a pool at the entrance, in the form of one narrow path, you didn’t swim, it takes 15-20 minutes to the sea, and you are in the warm, gentle black sea, the bottom is sandy and pleasant, the beaches are free, but sunbeds and umbrellas are paid, they didn’t take money, they hung out near hydrogen sulfide showers, alternated with sea procedures. We went to Nessebar and Istanbul. We are satisfied with the rest.

It is clear that one should not expect good conditions from two stars, but, in my opinion, this hotel does not meet even the minimum standards of comfort and, above all, cleanliness. Three major flaws that really spoiled the whole experience. 1. Not clean bed linen, that is, it was washed, but with stains, and on both sheets, both duvet covers and both pillowcases.

Three major flaws that really spoiled the whole experience. 1. Not clean bed linen, that is, it was washed, but with stains, and on both sheets, both duvet covers and both pillowcases. 2. Very thin partitions between rooms, no sound insulation. You can hear everything that is going on in every room on the floor. 3. Very dirty in the dining room. It is very small, there are many customers, as a result, the staff does not have time (even when they want to be in time) to properly clean the tables, which are full of crumbs, pieces of butter, jam, cheese. other spots and huge, well-fed flies are circling over all this. All this is not an exaggeration. The food was plentiful, but rather monotonous. Coffee and tea only for breakfast!
In general, the hotel staff were quite helpful and tried to do what they could (only for this score 3, not 1 or 2). Wi-fi is free only at the reception, slow and disappears every two minutes (I did not dare to try a paid one).

Check-in day was a shock! the rooms are tiny and uncomfortable, there is no animation, but the food pleased with a wide range. If you prefer a budget holiday, then this hotel is for you, but be prepared for many surprises that will await you there. For example, such as terribly dirty dishes, turning off wifi every ten minutes and no daily cleaning.

Location: the hotel is located in the area of .400-500m. to the sea, on the rise, so I do not recommend it to "passive" retirees, families with young children (if you have children 7 years and older, it will not be a problem for them). But for us it was not an obstacle, on the contrary, even after a hearty breakfast it was useful to walk.

But for us it was not an obstacle, on the contrary, even after a hearty breakfast it was useful to walk. Behind the hotel is a water park (my special advice, you should not visit it. In Sunny Beach is much better, and here everything is gray and dirty. Very modest infrastructure in the water park. I did not like). The hotel is located on a quiet street and this is a big plus, where discos are no longer heard. Golden Sands is a resort for active youth, a large number of discos, cafes, karaoke bars, there were many tourists from Europe, especially from Germany.
The big plus (if young people are resting) of this hotel is that it is located near one of the best discos in the Golden Sands of AREGANS, where all the youth of the resort come. Entrance cost 7 levs. The peculiarity of the disco is that there are 3 or 4 halls in which he plays his style of music (from electro to pop). I will not say that far to the center of the resort, because there are hotels that are even further away. If you walk, it is 10-15 minutes. course, but if you do not look at the souvenir shops .... )))
Beach: in Bulgaria all beaches are urban. Sunbeds, umbrellas are paid (rent is high). But all thrifty tourists took their towels and sunbathed on the sand))))
Hotel infrastructure: no animation, wi-fi at the reception is free, at the reception the administrator speaks Russian. There is no hotel, it's just a 9-storey building. There is NO pool in the hotel, but what is it for if you go to the SEA.
I was especially unaffected by the lack of a pool, because I don't need it.
Tourists from Ukraine had a rest in hotel.
Room: well, that's sad ((very modest, small and not clean enough (especially the "bathroom"). Although there were no failures in the supply of hot and cold water. In 12 days they said to clean up. Well, what to say economy There are Russian-language TV channels, and then we only came to spend the night, so we didn't pay attention to these nuances.
Meals: we had breakfast + dinner. For a two star hotel it was quite beautiful and varied. You definitely will not be hungry.
Recommendations: the hotel is definitely for active young people who are limited in budget. There are disadvantages to the hotel, but the infrastructure of the resort has its advantages.
Good rest to all and bright divinations! )))
