It was an early booking, so we expected some sort of shortage. It was, but nothing related to the hotel or boarding.
We stayed 10 nights in a studio on the 7th floor, with a view to a river, quite spacious, comfortable and kept clean, towels changed every day.
The food was good, various dishes for the first two courses - including freshly fried pork, veal, chicken, fish, chips - friendly service at the restaurant - they came to know us and were greeted and smiled at - but even so, for everybody the used plates and dishes were quickly removed. The dessert was not so wide in choice, there were little cream cakes, pancakes. As for fruit we had melon, peaches, apples, grapes, once a fruit salad.
The shortage comes from the river - more like a lake - which lies next to the hotel, that is sometimes smelly, with mosquitoes and needs to be avoided - taking a detour on the way to the sea. There were two days when the sea was flowed in the river and needed to be crossed bare feet. Otherwise it took 5-7 minutes to get to the sea. Another inconvenience is that the sea shore is very steep, the sea gets deep only 5- 7 meters away from the shore and at rough sea bathing is forbidden - had 3 days like that. If the shore sloped gently into the sea we wouldn't have had this problem. There are parts of the shore in Obzor with this positive aspect, but you need to walk 15-20 min. We love the sea and our idea of having a holiday at the seaside is not to lie in the sun at the hotel's swimming pool - which is nice, but crowded, not enough sundecks and cold in the morning.
Obzor is a quiet, yet full of tourists village, with cheap goods and meals to eat out. We liked the fact that every corner is turned into a nice view or a place to relax and entertain.
We went to Tania - a bistro in the center of Obzor, read about it on this site - and we had delicious pizza- baked on the spot - and more than friendly service, without ordering the waiter brought us some sort of spice to go with the pizza, something traditional Bulgarian, very good and weren't charged for it. Amazing!
