Negative feedback

There is a monotonous food (although this is common for three-star hotels), and some tourists complain that of the fruit on the table only oranges, bananas, apples and peaches.

During the summer heat in the old building is very stuffy (air conditioners are only in the new building), and in the rooms below the third floor there is the smell of seaweed, as the sea surrounds the hotel on three sides. For the same reason, early in the morning, outside the window, there are cries of seagulls and albatrosses.

In the rooms there is no electric kettle and hairdryer (although they are not claimed in the hotel advertisement), there are few free outlets (there is no bathroom in the bathroom at all), which also does not indicate voltage. In the bathrooms you can see mold.

Although the description of the hotel has its own beach, tourists note that it simply does not exist - there are only concrete slabs that go into the sea, and there are several umbrellas and sun beds on them.

To the city beach to go 10 minutes. In the sea sometimes sinks tin, on the shore there are broken shells, which can be injured.

During the flowering season, the shore is covered with a green bloom. In addition, there are many jellyfish here.

Tips for tourists

• The currency should be changed only in exchange offices in big cities (there are a lot of scammers on the street and in the markets, and at the hotels a disadvantageous course), and keep the borderrequesture (bordereaux) that may be required upon departure.

• Plastic cards are accepted for payment only in expensive hotels and restaurants. They can also be used to purchase air tickets over the Internet. In general, plastic cards in Pomorie are not popular.

• You can withdraw money from the card at ATMs, which are only available in large hotels.

• You need to keep an eye on things, and carry your bags over your shoulder (they are often snatched out on the streets).

• Taxi drivers at airports inflate prices, so it's better to check with local locals for the cost of travel to the desired place, then then firmly insist on this amount in conversation with the taxi driver (charge a fee in advance, before boarding).

• Valuable things to keep with you (airports often open suitcases).

• Take a packet of tea with you.

• You can inform the cleaning woman about everything you need, she will give out soap, shampoo and so on.

• It should be remembered that you can not take food out of the hotel restaurant (during a free breakfast or lunch with the all-inclusive system). For the removal of food a fine of five euros is foreseen.

• On the beaches of the stony shore - you need shoes.

• It's cheaper to buy an umbrella at a local store than renting it on the beach (then it can be sold to other tourists).

• It is better to arrange trips after arriving in Pomorie (and not to pay in advance to the tour operator) - in local offices everything is much cheaper, and it is even better to make trips independently.
