In general, I liked the hotel, here are the main pros and cons: + Great music. Everything is thought out with good taste. It does not sound loud and does not interfere at night. Every day something new. For example, day - Latin American music, then house / techno, then hip-hop, and again house ... no pop and boring "hits", just wonderful dance rhythms. Many beautiful Romanian songs. + Two large swimming pools, which are rarely found in hotels of the same class. - the capacity of the central air conditioner is barely ...
Rest in the hotel "Chaika Beach" 5 * on Slynchev Bryag (Bulgaria) left contradictory impressions. We had a rest with the whole family, consisting of 4 people - parents and two children in July 2009. At first everything seemed good. We were given a very large room - an apartment on the 6th floor with a sea view. We were happy because there was more than enough space for our family - the room was about 60 meters, including a huge balcony around the perimeter, since the room was at the end of the building. The room is cozy ...
Hotel reviews 2009 of the year
They said that former President of Bulgaria Todor Zhivkov used to stay in this hotel for a vacation ... I think he would not stay there now, but the hotel is still considered one of the best. And in appearance it is probably the best on the coast. A lot of hotels are now being built in the resort itself, and if the old ones were called Rusalka, Dolphin, Crown, Flowers, now more and more Palazzo, Amadeus, White House are appearing ... It's a pity, the Slavic flavor of Bulgaria is being lost. In Chaika we had breakfast and dinner, but ...
Avgust 2009. Govoryat, chto v Bolgarii vse oteli odinakovye: snaruzhi - simpatichnye, no vnutri - uzhas. Chaika Beach imenno takoi. Privlekatelnym vneshnim vidom vse ogranichivaetsya. Na ogromnoe kolichestvo gostei v otele restoran prosto ne rasschitan. Stolov postoyanno ne hvatalo. Tarelok, vilok i nozhei - tozhe. Kogda prinosili tarelki, to oni byli ploho vymyty s ostatkami edy i myla. A neschastnyi narod tolpilsya v poiskah svobodnogo stolika. Kormili nevkusno, poetomu my hodili est v restora ...
“We rested in two couples from 22.06.2009 - 30.07.2009. We were not in the“ Chaika ”itself, but in one of its buildings“ Arcadia-Metropol. ”If it were not for the great company, the impressions would have remained simply awful. .. The service is just disgusting !!! The constant lack of space in restaurants, because I understand that the hotel simply could not cope with the number of guests. What is the change of linen - we never found out, the towels were simply not changed throughout the stay And to our naive question, what's the matter - just answer us ...

Read the law on the official website of the President of the Russian FederationPlanning a seaside holiday this year has proven more difficult than ever. Turkey and Egypt are closed, Spain and Greece (of a good level) were too expensive. Even with the expansion of resort territories, Russia is unable to offer a good level for reasonable money. Thus, the choice fell on Bulgaria. This summer, the number of Russian tourists in this country has increased significantly due to the political situation in Russia and the fairly reasonable prices offered by Bulgaria.
But, unfortunately, the hotel I chose was far from the European level. An all inclusive hotel where everything is off.
Let's start the story from the very beginning.
We flew to Bulgaria at 2 am on 6.07.16. Considering that check-in at the Samara airport begins three hours before departure, and we still needed to pick up the passports (which were from the tour operator at the airport), we were already at 11 o'clock in the evening on 5.07.16 with all the luggage at the place of departure. Thus, having flown for about 4 hours, we arrived at the Burgas airport at 5.25 Moscow time.
After carrying our luggage, the very slow Bulgarians finally brought us to the hotel, where we ended up at 6.45.
And what was our surprise, and even more indignation, when it turned out that oh usually conditional check in at the hotel only at 14.00, and check out only at 12.00 and not a minute earlier. Usually this condition can be easily circumvented. If you arrived ahead of the check-in time, you can pay about $ 20 extra, and you are already sitting quietly in your room, but no, just not in this hotel. We had to wait for the appointed time. And it's not about the lack of numbers. We were directly told that there were rooms, but they would not move us in, as the manager told them so. And their gorgeous word "you can't", which they used in their speech. In this hotel everything is "impossible".
But this "beautiful" morning didn't end there. Not knowing sleep for more than 24 hours, we waited for the check-in time. But already at 12.30 people stopped sitting quietly on the reception sofas, and began to queue up. We also rushed to do it. By one o'clock in the afternoon a fat, huge queue of 7-10 people wide and about 6-8 meters long lined up at the hotel. And for an hour and a half we crowded and waited at 14.00. At 14.05 a smiling and slow girl began to populate people. We were about 6 in line and by 15.00 we were in the room. But when we went out to dinner at 18.00 the queue was only half resolved! And the question is, why create such a crush, if those who arrived at 6 in the morning could have moved in for a long time, and those who arrived later could also gradually move in. But no! We will specially collect the crush and increase the indignation of the vacationers!
Thus, having safely missed the paid breakfast and lunch, we found ourselves in the room.
The hotel surprises are not over. We paid for a room with a sea view... And in seven days of rest this "luxury" cost us an overpayment of 20 thousand rubles... Not sickly so beauty is worth it! But what did we see from the balcony? And here it is:
a wonderful view of the pool and a beautiful other building of our hotel (I say no sarcasm)
and yes ... here it is ... the sea ...
How did I not immediately notice it? In response to our complaint that we were placed in the wrong building, the reception was told the ingenious phrase: "Nyama's other rooms". (By the way, during the whole rest, I realized that in Bulgaria the two main words are "nyama" and "not allowed" ). Since we no longer had the strength for prolonged swearing, we calmed down and checked into this room.
We got a room in the Arcadia building on the 3rd floor.
A few words about the body ... There is a common reception for the Metropol and Arcadia buildings. The two buildings are connected by a long corridor.
And on the doors between the compartments there are wonderful signs in three languages:
About the room.
On the floor dirty, dusty, with huge black spots of carpet... (Someone was more fortunate and had tiles on the floor.) Double bed.On one side the mattress is strongly pressed. Bedspread wrinkledas if the third world war was staged on the bed. Jelly pillows and lumps... (according to the classification of Elena Letuchaya). Bed linen is new, clean, without pills.
Of the pros: big the panoramic window has a mirror effect... If you don't turn on the lights in the room, you won't be visible from the street.
There is a large mirror tV with three Russian channels, refrigerator. It's empty but working... It is very cold.
From the lighting in the room there are two lamps above the bed, two above the TV, spotlights in the hallway by the closet. By the way, roomy wardrobe. There are many hangers. Safeis, but he paid.Keys must be collected at the reception. And pay in the same place.
Air conditioning yes, it works, but not regulated... If you put any number of degrees, it will still convert to the standard 27 or 28 degrees. What is the trick is not clear. It seems to be blowing, but there is no coolness. At night, he lowers the degrees. Where is the logic - I don't know.
The bathroom is combined with a toilet.
There are almost no complaints here: clean, beautiful, tidy (at least upon arrival). Toiletries: two shower gels, shampoo, conditioner and hair caps, two toilet papers. The hair dryer is working.Dries hair well.
However not enough towels... Upon arrival, the room had two large towels, one small for the hands and one for the feet. It does not reach the level of 4 stars.
The balcony is cramped. There are two armchairs, a table, an ashtray (although it is said that all rooms are non-smoking). By the way, this is how you can see all the balconies of the building: what hangs where and who does what.
Deserves special words cleaning level ... It is stated that the room is cleaned daily and the bed linen is changed twice a week. What happened in fact:
1. toilet paper is changed daily;
2. garbage is taken out daily;
3. towels changed in 7 days ONLY 1 TIME... And this by big agreement and with disassembly at the reception... The cleaning lady states that "the towels are nyama". Fun! And when they changed, they gave two towels with some monstrously huge brown spots. Asking the cleaning lady to change them, we again heard: "The towel is more nyama".
4. the carpet was vacuumedin 7 days ONLY 1 TIME... And this despite the fact that there are no disposable slippers in the room, and we naturally wore street shoes. And all the city's dirt and dust, as well as the sand from the beach, quietly rested on the carpet during the vacation.
5. the bathroom floor was never washed! This is how we brought the mud from the sea onto the floor on the first day, so it increased every day! Hair, sand, dust adorned the white tiles on the floor.
6. neither the sink, nor the bathroom, nor the toilet bowl have ever been washed or disinfected!
7. bed linen NEVER changed(and should have done it 4 times!), the made bed was not corrected or refilled.
Either I'm too spoiled, or the cleaning ladies get their money in vain!
Food.
At first, it should be mentioned that the hotel has three huge buildings and two restaurants. But during our vacation only one restaurant worked. therefore queues behind closed doors is a savory prelude to whet your appetite before eating. And while eating, more have to stand and wait for forks, knives and plates (I generally keep quiet about spoons, it was happiness if we manage to wait for them, as well as deep bowls for soup).
Secondly, range.I may find fault, but in my opinion he scantyor the very quality of the food is poor.Very often almost all dishes are cold!
Breakfast - egg apotheosis.Boiled eggs, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, scrambled eggs. Boiled / fried sausages. Cooked / smoked sausage. Fried bacon. Pancakes are disgusting (if you try to roll them into a tube, they just break at the fold. I don't know what they are made of, but they look and taste unpleasant). Regular / curd cheese. Small salted herring / fish. Dry breakfast (chocolate balls). Jam and chocolate spread. Buns. From breakfast, only coffee from the coffee machine pleases (only first you have to look for which of them has milk, otherwise on the first day I received "milk chocolate" in the form of unclear water, a la there was no water in the house, and she suddenly went with rust), various variations of bread, and fruits (gave peaches, nectarines, apples, oranges, bananas). It seems like a lot, but in fact the whole vacation I had to sit on fried eggs and sausages. Boring.
Of the advantages of the restaurant - can carry food freely to the room... No one stops you at the exit from the restaurant and does not take away food. Therefore, we often carried sausages, cheese, bread and fruits from breakfast. They took them to the beach as a snack.
And what they didn't finish was given to the seagulls.
They cracked everything with pleasure, but, unfortunately, they immediately went to the toilet. Therefore, the balcony in some places was with reciprocal "gifts".
Lunch and dinner similar. Here you can already roam. Two types of soup (possible: chicken soup, veal soup, puree soup, tomato soup. There were no others). Fried chicken, stew, chicken cutlets, chicken sausages, chicken nuggets. Beef cutlets, beef stew, fried beef. Fried fish, deep-fried fish, stewed fish, breaded fish cakes. Pasta, broccoli, cauliflower, risotto, pilaf, lasagna, pizza, rice rolls in some kind of leaves. Salted fish. All salads are dry without dressing, except for the traditional Bulgarian salad "Snezhanka" (yogurt, grated cucumbers, herbs). Tomato and cucumber slicing. Usually she chose her. Since salads are impossible to eat. Desserts: nuts with condensed milk, cakes with cream, Turkish sweets. Free ice cream is served for dinner. (I liked the taste of the melon. I ate it all throughout the vacation). Decent strawberry, lemon. The rest - so-so or complete byaka. But there is nothing to record all this diversity with. Tea is not given, nor is coffee. Only concentrated juices (not tasty in this hotel), beer, wine (but we don't like that).
By the way, all the names of the dishes are signed in Bulgarian and English.
Infrastructure. In addition, the hotel has a spa, hairdresser, shops, two swimming pools (large and small). By the way, the whole of Bulgaria works only in local currency - lev(approximately 33 Russian rubles) and stotinka (in 1 lev 100 stotinks). Neither euros, nor dollars, let alone rubles are accepted anywhere.You can change money at the reception. But the rate there is unprofitable (1 euro \u003d 1.86 lev, while everywhere at least 1.9). There are many exchangers in Sunny Beach. The most popular is "Crown". The course is tolerable. But your best bet is to find a Raiffeisen bank. There the course is best. But no matter how hard we tried, we never found him. Changed money at "Crown".
Animation.
We did not go to local amateur performances, since they all took place literally under our balcony.
Generally,
However, the beach is urban. Sun beds and umbrellas are paid. You can't just lie in this zone. You can lie either behind the paid zone or between two paid zones. In fact, this area is five meters wide at most. There is not enough space. Hello Soviet vacation at sea! Hotel does not provide beach towels, so if you don’t want to splurge on paid sun loungers on the sea and don’t want lie by the pool (sun loungers and umbrellas are free, but they take them at the beginning of the vacation immediately and for the whole rest), then take some couches with you.
About the sea.
Waterin early July warm, pleasant. Not fresh milk, but it's nice to swim. There are no jellyfish and mystical "pliers". However there are a lot of algae in the sea. If in the first half of the vacation it could still be tolerated. It feels like you fell and you swim in the water, where the cut grass has been thrown in patches... In the last days of our vacation, the situation worsened. If you have ever cooked a large saucepan with thick cabbage soup and could not finish them and decided to throw out half. We put our hand into the pot. Then you felt the cabbage and potato thick and a bit of broth. That was exactly the feeling we had on the last two days of our vacation. Only in the sea do you release not one hand, but go with your whole body. And you are in these "cabbage soup", only instead of cabbage there are thick green algae.
Very disgusting. Swimming was simply impossible! (Unfortunately, I didn't take a close-up photo. But you can compare the color of the water in the two photos above: day 1 and the last day).
Outcome: the opinion of tourists about the country is largely formed by the impression of the hotel in which they were vacationing. This hotel significantly spoiled my stay. Wouldn't recommend!
Perhaps you will be interested in my other reviews about hotels on the sea:
Sorry for the emotionality and protracted response!
Thank you for your attention and patience!

We rested in the summer of 2018 with two children, 4 and 8 years old. More was expected from the hotel, but there are many drawbacks. The furniture in the room is old, the doors are lax, the advantages are a sea view, but they paid extra for it, and a modern flat TV. The breakfasts are monotonous, there is no wifi at the hotel, even paid, the staff at the reception is unfriendly to answer questions, and the fire alarm worked several times at night. Rooms are cleaned regularly. And the biggest plus is the proximity of the sea and the embankment, the result is solid 3 stars, but not 4.

My friends. This hotel is just PPC! In general, I strongly do not recommend it. Better to rent an apartment from Granny and live there. The details are below if you have the patience. It's a shame that you can't attach a photo! When we chose the tour and looked at the photos, drooling began to flow! Sunny Beach, first line, a snow-white hotel with a large enough pool! And the reviews on the sites seem to be good and the operator gave his recommendations. We were delighted, bought, arrived, settled ... And then it started. You say good housekeeping? God forbid, once every three days, the floor will come wipe and throw towels. New towels? Aha! Schazzzz. I go to the shower cleaning field and ask my girlfriend to give me a towel. She communicates and is good that he did not start to dry himself right away. There are black spots all over the towel, such as remain after my girlfriend washes the carcasses from her eyes))))))) It is necessary to remind about cleaning several times every day at the reception. And not the fact that they will remove it. The rooms are really big, with a huge balcony and a great view of the pool. But the state is a pipe. everywhere there were smudges, as if the numbers were filled by the neighbors from above. And not only here. went to visit friends - there is the same story. dirty walls with holes)) The hole was left by an angry guest)) I was very pleased with the bathroom. Well maintained and with strong water pressure. Taking a shower is a pleasure. We only had breakfast and in 10 days it "became boring". The dishes don't change. Scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes, coffee. In Russia, I feel that I won't eat these dishes for a long time.)))) There are a lot of Turks and Arabs. They grumble on their own, even plug your ears. Yes, and at night in the corridors of the hotel they bargain. In general, I strongly do not recommend it. Better to rent an apartment from Granny and live there.

We have long wanted to visit Bulgaria. And now the dream has come true. The hotel itself made an overall good impression. The minuses were not critical, the pluses were satisfied. But I'll make a reservation right away, the hotel is not for everyone. My friend and I are not even thirty, so the party orientation of the hotel was high for us. However, for those who are accustomed to Bulgaria as a quiet recreation area, I think it is worth choosing a different accommodation. The room is larger than usual, with a mini-kitchen: kitchen furniture, microwave oven, kettle, coffee maker and even a set of dishes. None of us was eager to cook anything, let alone wash the dishes, but maybe someone will need this option. Half board meals. Quite varied. Traditional breakfast and very very good delicious dinner. We usually dined outside the hotel, so gastronomically, this further enhanced the effect of diversity. The hotel pool is large as standard, there are enough sun beds for everyone. The pool was entertained by animators daily. Guys, respect you! The sea is good. The rest was a success!

Excellent youth hotel. We rested with a young man from June 29 to July 6, 2015. We arrived very early, and we had to wait a while for the check-in, because they check in at 14.00 and we were warned about it. So we were ready. We were offered to leave our belongings in the luggage storage room. The room is closing, and our suitcases were closed and packed in plastic, so this fact did not frighten us. We were settled at 12.00, because the room was ready earlier, in the Chaika building. A room on the second floor with a telephone, TV, refrigerator, microwave oven, coffee maker and a set of dishes. Central air conditioning, worked perfectly. No complaints about the service. Bed linen was changed every other day, towels - every day, dirty dishes were washed. With regard to nutrition, it is very diverse. We took breakfasts and dinners. Enough and even very much. The dishes are varied. Lots of fruits and vegetables. There were enough plates, forks, glasses for everyone. Dirty dishes are immediately removed, tables are wiped. Never faced with the fact that it was dirty, there was not enough food, or there was a war over appliances. The pool is good, there are a lot of umbrellas and sun beds. The animators worked. Their program was not similar every day. It was fun to play water polo or townships. Before the trip I read the reviews and was horrified, I thought the rest would be ruined. But the impressions are the most positive. Thanks to all.
