First off we didn't arrive till 4am, but was greeted by a lovely receptionist, who (knowing we were tired) did her best to inform us of everything from onsite to off site that we needed to know. A little dissapointed to hear that the snack bar had closed prior to out trip, as this wasn't advertised online, we were looking forward to having burgers and kebabs as and when. But it wasn't too much of an impact. The room was nice, all be it a bit dusty (I'm quite tall so could see on top of the wardrobe, you could see where cleaners had made an effort to clean it but couldn't quite reach, and then after meeting them being about 5' each, they'd need a step ladder to be able to reach so was semi understandable), the back of the bed rest was the worst, but again no fault to the cleaners, unless they took all the beds out side and pressure washed them each time the type of material is just made for dust to stick to it, especially with all the little nooks and crannies. Food was nice, I'm a little more adventurous with my food and found something new every day. My partner who's autistic and can be pretty funny with food also brached out a little and tried something new, but was always happy to see plain chips, pizza, burgers, sausages ext that were "safe" if he couldn't eat anything else to offer. The Mediterranean and bulgarian night were interesting, but the lady stood by the table did put me off from going over, so I snuck up when she was otherwise engaged. The pastry bar, OMG, we would always come away with a plateful and stick some in our fridge for a late night snack, Ive never had pastry so good! So even if you have the taste buds of a 4yo, I would ignore the comments saying there was no variety because even my partner found something new every time. The animation team. The stars of the show at Sunrise! Especially Chris! (I didn't catch the name of the girl with Chris but she was also lovely and assisted with some of Chris' mad ideas. Chris seemed to be in charge of the entertainment during the day for adults, and with some being unwilling to get into the "cold" pools (if you're a true Brit, you'll stick to the "it's alright when you're in" motto and just get in anyway) to do activities such as water polo. The cocktail game had us all in stitches, and I can't remeber the name of it but Chis introduced us to another Bulgarian drinking game, where you had to knock a bottle over (it sounds dull but when you have 10 people throwing a ball at a bottle running round trying to drink their drinks as quick as, we attacted a crowd watching). Great fun being a young girl who can drink like a fish, demasculating 50+ y/o men who think they can drink faster than you. The beach is not that far away, a week prior to our stay my partner had dislocated his ankle and we still made it there in under five minutes and the walk is quite nice through the wild nature. The evening entertainment was on and off. The magic man was okay but definitely outshone by his assi
