The room is cleaned daily. The restaurant is delicious!
MINUS - at the reception, the admin and his assistant are a mug. We arrived - they pretended not to notice, they did not know the Russian language... The owners of "GRAND VARNA" should drive them away. The administrator and his assistant at the reception, Lebed, spoil the whole image of the hotel !! ! We checked in for half an hour. And the rest of the staff is superrrr! Especially in the lobby bar, the name is Jordan!
2. The resort is the best in Bulgaria (I'm not kidding) . . but also the most expensive... the prices are the same as in Moscow . . but we are no strangers : ) It's worth it, because the rest (ALBENA, GOLDEN SANDS, KRANEVO, etc. ) . d. ) more soviet or something. . . The resort is all in greenery, that is, there is no feeling that you have come from city to city. . . The nature is magnificent! ! On the one hand, the sea and cypresses, on the other, our dandelions and birches, that is, like in the country! Air! ! Pinery! ! The sea is clean . . But not without jellyfish, because it's black... But I rarely met them... It's cool in the evening and hot in the afternoon... it makes no sense to go to the beach before 10 - it's cold, windy... There is bad weather, but there is something to do on the territory (courts, table tennis, billiards, swimming pools, playgrounds), well, excursions in the end : )) On the territory of the resort (1.2 minutes from the hotel) there is 1) A small Orthodox monastery, awesome beauty and atmosphere; 2) Mineral, hot pool (immediately find out the work schedule, there are night baths. Relaxation is complete! If you go before going to bed, you will sleep like the dead !! ! Heals the nervous system, heals all burns and wounds!
3. The hotel is exactly the same as in the pictures. Small, cozy, surrounded by greenery. . Nearby are 2 huge hotels RUBIN and GRAND VARNA. . You can use their services at their prices. But! ! There is no view of the park, there is no park there: an alley of trees . . But this did not interfere with relaxation and fresh air (although there is parking : ) The staff speaks English (learn a few words), but we didn’t really communicate. There is a free 24/7 doctor. Meals are dietary compared to the resort. You can not take full board, but just come for lunch or dinner (buffet), paying 20 lev (somewhere around 400r).
Animation throughout. Mostly in German, but the children will understand each other : ))
4. A beach for every taste: both wild and civil (sunbeds are paid). There is entertainment on the water . . And you can just ask for a boat ride (near RUBIN) and bargain, because this service is not in the price list . .
5. In general, the people are pleasant, you can agree with everyone . . Don’t pedal that you are from Russia, and they say, speak Russian with us . . They have the right not to know our language (especially young people). Take phrasebooks with you: English or Bulgarian (by the way, our languages are very similar!
6. Inexpensive silver, unique soap, and rose jam and honey. This is for gifts. The rest can be bought in Moscow.
So, there weren’t too many problems... It depends on what you expect from your vacation . . The service is worse than in TURKEY, but better than in the Crimea . . The atmosphere is better than in TURKEY (there are no nasty men) and freedom of movement too . . No fences , you can walk WHERE you want! ! And yet, ours are SLAVES : )) In general, we are very satisfied : ) We wish you good luck!
in Russian, which pleases : -) The food is normal, without any show-offs, 3 types of first course, 3 second courses, salads, meat dishes, vegetables, fruits, sweets, alcohol (by the way, even very high quality). The hotel is designed for a quiet relaxing holiday, it has a lot of pensioners and young families with children. The pool is clean. The guide does not impose anything, just answers your questions, and can also give some practical advice. From myself I can recommend an excursion to Balchik, very interesting and informative, you will be satisfied, I assure you : -) I was very impressed with the dance of mother and daughter on hot coals....8 km. from the hotel is the city of Varna, you can go on an excursion on your own, you will be taken there by bus 8, the stop of which is 10 minutes from the hotel. The city is very beautiful, the church impressed me! It is better for young people to go to the Golden Sands resort, it will be boring in Swan! For a quiet, relaxing holiday, this hotel is suitable!
What really angered me was that the rest near your own pool was paid (! ). The cost of one sunbed without a mattress (! ) - $ 2. There is sand at the bottom of the pool, the bottom is not blue, but gray-yellow. And in general, wherever you want to dip your body into the sea or into another body of water, everywhere you need to pay from $ 2 to $ 15. By the way, the Lebed Hotel does not have its own beach at all, it uses the beaches of other hotels. The choice of fruits in the resort is so poor and miserable that the feeling creeps in that we stopped in the tundra.
My assessment: this is a hotel for unpretentious tourists who are not spoiled by Turkish and other capitalist resorts. The scoop is indestructible, as is greed. Parameters price-quality absolutely do not match.
I will return to the hotel. The room has air conditioning, a TV with a lot of programs, a refrigerator, a balcony, tables, chairs, good plumbing, a standing shower.
There are sun loungers, but without mattresses. But the beach is both concrete and sandy. The entrance to the sea is possible by stairs, or you can smoothly enter the sand.
In short, I was very satisfied.
