Excelent!
Pros:

Locatie excelenta cu loc de parcare inchis pe timp de noapte.
Am rezervat apartamentul penthouse de la etajul 5 (liftul urca pana la etajul 4). Excelent pentru familia mea: 2 parinti, un copil si soacra.
Micul dejun in 5 variante “a la carte”indestulator ( nu am incercat micul dejun englezesc si nici lapte cu cereale si salata de fructe 😁). Celelalte trei optiuni sunt: Micul dejun continental care este foarte bogat, omlete cu diverse umpluturi ( cascaval, sunca, ciuperci si ceapa) si sandwich urias cu cascaval si sunca la cuptor cu microunde. In rest, cafea, lapte, sucuri, esspreso, ceai si apa plata.
Personalul foarte atent si vorbitor de rusa si engleza.
Am mancat intr-o zi la masa de pranz. Recomand mancarurile traditionale bulgaresti: kawarma, sach, branza in ceaun la cuptor, etc.

Under expectations, but the rest of sunny beach made me happy so its alright.
Pros:

The parking was alright, as long as you have a booked room, u have a place to leave your car safely. It's situated behind the hotel with a very narrow access way. The "parking lot" was small, pretty hard to maneuver through it. I came with a 2010 passat B6, I didnt have much room to work with but I managed. Bigger cars will NOT fit, especially a wider one.
The hotel is situated at cca. 500m from the beach, in a quiet place, far from any night clubs or busy roads.
The pool was nice, warm and with a maximum depth of 1.6m, smaller in size than other pools, can't really swim in it, even if it is empty.
The room was amazing, from the cleaning to the AC and bed sheets. The only problem was the minifridge, it was weak, it doesnt hold ice, barely cools off your drink.

Cons:

I wasn't really looking forward to the breakfast as the hotel served us with pre made platters, unable to choose from a variety of foods as I initially thought. At check in I was given 5 cards (one for each booked night) that would serve as a proof that you actually paid for the breakfast, each morning you would "trade" a card for the food. The card had 5 breakfast options, English, European and some other choices that seemed poor, which i didnt go for. The food itself was good, but it lacked diversity and quantity. I'd say that for most people, the food portions would not suffice.
