Впечатления о Болгарии Impressions of Bulgaria

Rested in Bulgaria for the first time. Before that, there was an experience of traveling to Turkey, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Greece. Externally, the hotel is not bad, everything is pretty neat, clean, but immediately upon check-in there were nuances. The fact is that we were given a room on the first floor in the far corner, the windows of this room overlooked the trash (because there is a restaurant under the first floor) these are numbers from 136-140. On my request to change the room immediately, they refused me, saying that we should check in now (and it was 2 am and I was with 2 children), and tomorrow they supposedly will give another room. But having the experience of checking into hotels, I flatly refused to check in there, and said that until tomorrow we would spend the night in the lobby. As a result, muttering something obviously unflattering in my direction, the number was changed for us. But anyway they gave a room on the first floor, but in general they do not give the best rooms with views to Russian speakers. The food was all inclusive, in principle, if not to find fault, then normal. The food was constantly brought up, if it ended, and there was clearly more choice when there were many foreigners in the hotel. From alcohol - white and red wine, beer, sometimes vodka. There were fruits - apples, cherries, strawberries, oranges. Basically, you won't go hungry. The rooms are tidy. Cleaning consisted of taking out the trash, changing towels every 2 days. Shampoo, gel, soap were put 1 time upon check-in, toilet paper was put as it ended, there was even one washcloth. The bar in the room is paid. Sunbeds and umbrellas by the pool are free of charge, on the beach for a fee. We never found a separate beach at the Pearl Hotel, although the travel agency promised (a separate hello and dissatisfaction with the work of the Prestige Tour Kyiv-Chernigov travel agency). You can sunbathe on your towels for free on the territory about 1m from the sea or away, behind all the paid sunbeds, but it didn’t bother me. The sea was calm and already quite warm. In general, Golden Sands beach is perfect for families with children (mine are 6 and 10 years old). We went on excursions in Nessebar. Hello Vaselin and Pavel, who offer excursions on the waterfront (near the "Eiffel Tower"). There are many impressions and memories left. The prices are affordable. Were in Varna in supermarkets, you can buy something from clothes. We walked along the embankment in the evening, visited restaurants with national cuisine, rode (children especially liked) on the train - 3 lev per person. Dollar exchange rate 1 -1.27 lev, euro-1.92 lev. Very understated from the official one. Be careful with the exchange. Many exchangers take a percentage (one thing is written, but they change at a completely different rate). Change to Raiffeisen Bank on the embankment, where the Admiral Hotel is, the rate is always higher there, but there is a queue. There are no language problems, almost everyone can answer and help in Russian. In general, the impressions are positive. I think we will return to Bulgaria!
