Good day!
I stayed in this hotel 2 times in a row, guided by the principle: "The best is the enemy of the good. " Among the locals, the hotel is called "Scandinavian" due to the fact that the audience is mainly from Germany, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway (mainly teenagers and pensioners), etc. everything is decorous, slowly, quietly, unobtrusively and with units of compatriots !! ! I ate only breakfast, because for a variety of impressions, I wanted to have dinner every evening in a new restaurant. Breakfasts are hearty, appetizing, however, over time they become a little boring : ) The rooms are simple, neat, regular cleaning, change of towels, shampoos. Iron free of charge at the reception. All staff understand Russian. Only levs are used, the exchange rate for 1 euro is 1.94 levs, 1 $ ~ 1.70 levs. At prices that I remember (the principle is universal: the farther from the embankment, the cheaper).
Food for two, including the first, salad, something meat for the second (the portion is large for one, it is better to take the second for two), coffee will drag on somewhere for 15-20 euros. Ice cream ~ 3.50 leva 100g, a bottle of 1l of water-1.20 lev. On the beach: an umbrella-8 lev, a sunbed-also 8 lev, a mattress for it-3 lev. Total, 19 lev = 10 euros. But you can on the beach and for free. Very nice and well-groomed on the neighboring Riviera, admire it, you won't regret it! Admission is free after 17.00, if before this time, pay at the entrance, at least for an umbrella on the beach - 10 lev. Bonus mineral pool and 2 showers with thermal hydrogen sulfide water. Again, after 17.00 it is already free. Every 15-20 minutes there are buses to Varna, the ticket is 3 levs, the time is 30 minutes. Taxi drivers charge 20 lev. There are many modern supermarkets of various kinds in Varna - prices are lower than Ukrainian prices for food and things, which is not a sin to use. In Golden Sands, it’s better not to mess with gypsy-looking sellers - intrusive, prices are too high.

I chose the time for the trip consciously: it was still not crowded, not so hot, the water was not very hot, there were few compatriots (I include everyone born in the USSR among them), few children. From the tricks of the hotel, I note the following: when renting a room, they tried to knock down money for the so-called use of the refrigerator (I kept my mineral water there). Nowhere about this is indicated in the price list, during the settlement, too, they did not warn - such an unobtrusive service - this was not the case last year. And the second point is that all the rooms of the upper floors with a sea view go to the bourgeois : (
