    Finding our hotel (Central Hotel)

    15. elokuuta 2018, Bulgaria ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    We arrived at the hotel around 2pm. We got here from Bucharest via Vama Veche border because we know the road already and it's a good one even if it's not the shortest.
    Finding this hotel was quite easy. Nothing fancy, it's a regular hotel, with big room, bad refrigerator. Also, even if we chose a queen size bed, it is a queen size bed but with two adjoining mattresses. We fackin' hate when this happens. All good until now.Lue lisää

  • Chasing the sun

    15. elokuuta 2018, Bulgaria ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    After we unpacked, we jumped right in the swimsuits! Damn, I can't wait to get into the water! 😱
    After a Subway sandwich, in 10 minutes we got to the beach. Rent 2 sunbeds and an umbrella. It costs us around 27 bgn ( quite expensive, if you ask me). We like this beach: clean water (even if now is windy outside), fine sand without rocks and shells. Oh, I almost forgot the most important thing! In contrast with romanian beaches, here you won't be disturbed by loud music from all around. Now I finally hear only the people and kids happiness and sea waves.Lue lisää

  • Ay ay Captain!

    15. elokuuta 2018, Bulgaria ⋅ 🌙 24 °C

    We were dissapointed because we wanted so bad to eat at the Bolero restaurant (#2 on TripAdvisor at this moment). Bolero was full but we've made a reservation for Saturday. Can't wait!!
    Captain Steak House (#145 on TripAdvisor) wasn't on our plan. But we saw the menu outside and we liked. They have rooftop terrace and it's on the beach so why not?!
    The food came pretty fast. We ordered Hawaii Chicken, Pork with pepper sauce and Breaded Calamari. Of course, draft beer, as always 😝! The meal was surprisingly good. Fantastic I could say. Reasonably priced and good portions. We also loved the atmosphere.
    Good night!

  • Day #2 resume

    16. elokuuta 2018, Bulgaria ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    Few words: great sleep, poor breakfast at the hotel (we don't recommand this hotel if you emphasize this), great donuts, lunch at the MC, afternoon sleep (like the elders).
    Recommandation: Malina Pub (#13 ranked) has the best pizza I've eaten lately. Also Shrimps Tagliatelle was delicious. + Zagorka beer 👌Lue lisää

  • Bon appétit

    18. elokuuta 2018, Bulgaria ⋅ 🌙 25 °C

    I couldn't wait to come here and taste this amazing food (Bolero, #2 ranked).
    Our expectations were beated to death by this restaurant. We travelled a lot, so we ate, A LOT! We could say that we tasted various foods in different restaurants, but Bolero is the best ever. We ordered an appetizer (avocado mousse with shrimps) and our appetide has gone wild. My wife was so anxious about the main course, and she was right to be so. The sturgeon with risotto Milanese was the best thing we have ever taste. The risotto was made with sofran and the flavour is just a golden heaven. The sturgeon was a little crispy on the outside, and soft in the middle, and the prosciutto came just right with it.
    Let's not forget about what I ordered - Pepper steak. It was an awesome pepper steak. I gladly recommend it. We had an amazing dinner at Bolero, and we already made a reservation for Monday evening, to end our journey in the best way possible.

  • Last day, windy day

    20. elokuuta 2018, Bulgaria ⋅ 🌬 28 °C

    Went to the beach, but we were unwelcomed. Our place was flooded and the waves was sweeping the little piece of sand which we claimed a few days ago. No chance to stay there. My wife had the best ideea, to go at the pool in the nearby complex. Now, we are just chilling.
    Next summer -> Fort Norks for sure!

  • Last dinner in Sunny Beach

    20. elokuuta 2018, Bulgaria ⋅ 🌙 20 °C

    This is our favourite place to eat in Bulgaria. We visited Bulgaria many times, and we are delighted by this country's cuisine. But Bolero, exceeded our expectations with the most amazing food we've ever tried. We were in vacation in Sunny Beach, and we knew about Bolero. We didn't find a table on Wednesday, so we made a reservation for Saturday. It was worth the wait. We ordered Mousse of avocado and Shimps as appetizer, and then Crispy Sturgeon with Risotto Milanese and T-bone pepper steak. The steak was very good, the appetizer was amazing, but the sturgeon was just Heaven. We made a reservation for Monday evening after we finished the meal. On monday, guess what? That mousse of avocado was so good, we ordered again. And the sturgeon. And some mussels as appetizer. Everything was amazing. We recommend this place to anyone who visits Sunny Beach. The staff is very friendly and careful. The food order was served very fast. We waited no more than 10 minutes for the appetizer and 10 more for main course. The atmosphere was intimate and romantic, with live music (romantic music). I almost forgot about the dessert. CHEESECAKE !!! Maybe the best we've ever had. We are gourmandes, we try local food on best ranked restaurants everywhere we go. Bolero just became one of our favourites.
    P.S. the prices are mid ranged, and small in comparison with the food provided. We paid around 60 BGN (aprox.30 euro) for 2 appetizers(mussels, mousse of avocado and shrimps), 1 main course (sturgeon with risotto Milanese), a cheesecake and 2 glasses of white wine.
    Bolero, we will se each other next year!

    Our review for Hotel Central
    Pros : The bed was comfy. The area is very quiet, and the room is sound proof. The room is very large. The Balcony is spacious and has a clothes dryer. The bathroom was clean. There is air conditioning.

    Cons : Unfortunately out stay was not as expected. Our sheets were not changed in 6 nights (not even once). And the towels only once. The breakfast should be improved - more diverse food, better coffee (the quality of the coffee was arguable), better quality food (everything was too oily), the juice was very cheap and the taste was not good at all, the omelette didn't look good at all ( I cannot describe how it looked... ). The cheese was so cheap, it looked like a yellow tofu, had no taste, and the texture was terrible. For 6 mornings we ate only eggs, shopska salad, and some sausages. And watermelon. Also, when we arrived, our fridge was frozen (it had almost 4-5 cm of ice in the freezer) so it couldn't work properly. We asked nicely the receptionist to help us, but the only thing he did was to put the fridge to a minimum, and say that everything is going to be okay. Unfortunately, it was not. For 2 days we had to take all the water out of the fridge using towels and so on. There is a problem with the bathroom. A 3*star hotel should have a proper shower cabin, not a shower with a canvas, which doesn't do anything. After every shower, you have to clean all the water, because there is no water drain in the bathroom, only the one from the " shower cabin". Again, we had to use towels to clean the bathroom every time we showered. Thank God we had towels from back home, because we used the towels to clean. The trash from the bathroom was not taken out everyday. Also, on booking it says that the room has a queen sized bed. This means one bed, not two twin beds, put alongside each other, united - this is not a queen sized bed. Except 2 bar soaps, there were no other toiletries (shampoo, shower gel, etc.) We do not recommend this hotel, especially because the price is to high for the offered conditions. It should be a 2* star hotel - maximum.
