Well i can quite honestly say we absolutely loved our stay in Bulgaria, the apartment was fantastic, it had everything you could possibly need and more, it was clean and had loads of room, the added bonus was it was quite shaded during the day so it was nice to sit on the patio and cool off from the sun, we went with my sister and her family who stayed in another of the apartments on site, they couldn't sit on there balcony during the day as it was too hot so they used ours. we hardly had to use the air conditioning, i think it was the best apartment on the site and would definitely recommend it. the shuttle service was regular and cheap, 5 Lev for an all day pass (under £2.50) and there was always Mr Bean to taxi us about when needed, all the staff are really friendly, the on site bar and restaurant was reasonable, and very clean, the food was also very good, it was a shame the sky bar wasn't open, we would have definitely have stayed on site more if we could have had a drink up there.
We hired a car for a week, no need for theme parks, you get all the scares you could possible imagine driving, as a passenger i spent most of the time with my eyes closed, they all drive like they are on a suicide mission, complete maniacs, we did find some lovely beaches, Obzor & Bourgas being our favourites, sunny beach is nice but very very crowded, We took the kids to both water parks, they liked the furthest one best but very busy.
Khans tent is a must, the views are spectacular and the entertainment is very good, well worth a visit, The boat inn was highly recommended, that was probably our worst meal, the service & food were rubbish, for a really good Bulgarian night there is a restaurant close called Becco (something like that), belly dancers on the tables, singing & dancing, it was the strangest place we have ever been, chickens and rabbits in cages, brilliant night, the roasted pork was excellent, also recommended was Djannys which was nice but we preferred Troya's which is next door.
The apartments started to fill up on our 2ND week and there wasn't enough sunbeds for everyone which would be one of our only moans, also even though you could walk to Sunny beach i think it would be quite dangerous as there aren't any pavements, especially at night, a taxi from Sunny beach only cost us 20 Lev which is under £10.
Thanks Nicky & Steve + all the team for making our holiday a memorable one right from when enquired about booking.
Owner's Response: Thanks for taking the time to write the review! So happy to hear you had a brilliant time!
Unfortunetly, the Sky Bar did'nt open this year, due to staffing issues, but all being well, will be open for next season. The bar downstairs is adequate, but nothing beats the views of Sunny Beach and Nessebar from upstairs!!
I totally agree with the driving in B.G...you were very brave hiring a car, but is handy, to see more of the country. As you say, "Mr. Bean" (our apartment and transfer manager ), is always at hand to taxi anytime.
We will be providing sunbeds for the apartment for next season, for busy periods, when extra beds are required.
Thankyou for looking after the apartment, you know you are all welcome back anytime!!!
Nicky & Steve. :-)
