Hi everyone,
Well what a lovely holiday so far!!! the food is good and is getting better,the 1st choice reps are working hard to sort out any problems,ie some people complaining about undercooked eggs and the toaster being slow My daughter is one of the fussiest eaters but she has found loads to eat.They have now dropped the seperate sittings for the evening meal and you can go in from 6pm to 9pm,which is great(daughters input)
The bar in reception is free (selected drinks)until 11pm then you have to pay.only 2 lev for a LARGE vodka,1lev is about 36p at moment.Weve been changing money in shop 2.78 at moment.If you visit Kranevo the rate is 2.81 no commission!!
Pam the body boards are 30lev in hotel shop but a bit cheaper out and about.
we hired a safe 40lev and asked them to take the things out of the minibar (which you have to pay for) cost us 50lev for two weeks to use it as a fridge worth it though.
Free air con, LOVELY
Rooms clean and weve got a fantastic view overlooking the beach.
will do a hotel review when we get home
Bye for now
TC
ps its SUNNY AND HOT
BY the way,the "free air" is actually free air conditioning in the rooms
good to hear you are having a great time Its raining here!
Glad to hear that you're enjoying Albena T.C., I hope that Eileen is also enjoying her first holiday abroad there.
Wonderful news from Albena Can't wait-two weeks tomorrow
TC sounds like you were at a different hotel to us , no , seriously we all have different tastes , but apart from the food ( which we tried a few times ) and hated , the lack of entertainment , and having to use next doors pool , it was ok i guess, very clean
just got back this morning after having a fantastic holiday the best weve had
To be honest i think wherever you go there are always things that dont live up to peoples expectations. We went out there with a very open mind as,after our AI holiday to Morocco last year(awful),we realise that the way foreigners cook there food is very different to us.We took money so that we could eat out if necessary.
Everyone has different ideas of what they want from a holiday you get what you pay for.If id paid £900 each then,yes,i would have been a bit disappointed.As it was we paid £500 each for two rooms with sea views and it would have cost us similar to go self catering.
The hotel is in a lovely place,maybe too quiet for some although it wasnt very far into albana centre, maybe 15 mins walk.
My daughter(17) and her friend(19) had a fantastic time and were never bored.I did take them to the G point disco a couple of times though.There were children in there from 8yr old.We walked back at 2am in the morning and found it was very safe.
At the end of the day your holiday is what you make it,if you dont like the food then tell the reps what is wrong as they do their best to rectify any problems.Any other problems and the staff will try their best to help.
Some people were really quite rude to the staff and never said please or thankyou,just because they are waiting on us doesnt mean that they have to be treated like slaves.They are hard working people trying to earn a living and make our stay pleasant.
We(all 5 of us) would definately go again to Bulgaria,especially to Albena and the Albena beach club

ps some people were there on their 2nd and 3rd visits
Great that your having a good holiday, I have always enjoyed Bulgaria, and a great idea giving everyone the current exchange rates, I will be going over in 4 weeks, and I have been shopping around for exchange rates back here, hope everyone takes notice, if we can all log in when on hols and update the exchange rate then a very good tool for us all.
