Bulgaria

This summer I was like all novel, the sea to Bulgaria. As a "Cheaper" and is all-inclusive. More specifically, a week at Balchik (Balchik), Hotel Achilles. Here are some findings may help someone:
Pro:

• beautiful scenery, great at the foot of a limestone hill, to see the botanical garden and cacti Castle Queen Mary;
• quiet, although every restaurant has music, often live, the sound level is low; excluded House;
• lack pitzipoance , Rainbow and related immature, have lagged behind in Mamaia;
• small restaurants, numerous, relatively inexpensive.

Cons:

• all-inclusive sucks for the following reasons:

• program is one of the pioneers, eg between 7.30-10 breakfast, if you find you awake later closed, if you want to stay night at the pool after 22 hours and is closed;
• hard food acceptable to note 6 on a scale of 1 to 10;
• drinks and harder acceptable to juice dispenser (old Tek's from '94) he does not touch anyone and tell them one thing that beer, spirits, I tried.

• no beach, sit in the sun on rocks or shells

Be careful if you go with children. I went with my son one year, it still a walk in the stroller. Although people from agency assured us that the sea is "very close" , had to descend / climb stairs about 40 meters difference in level to reach the sea / hotel, and that 3 times a day. The shopping cart in one hand and beach bag in the other, was not too pleasant experience.

We recommend that you inform yourself well before going in Balchik. Ask the opinion of someone who was. And avoid all-inclusive hotel Achilles at least, eat a little more expensive but much better restaurants.
