Stamopolu Lux Apartments

There was detergent and a sponge in the place, which was a nice surprise since we didn’t need to buy any. The accommodation was clean and pleasant overall, but the bathroom felt cramped and the shower cabin wasn’t comfortable. The linen change was odd, too: they left an empty basket along with towels and sheets outside our door, so we had to change them ourselves.

For what it cost, it didn’t feel like a good deal. The shower drain was clogged, we could hear footsteps from the upstairs neighbors, and there was no cleaning service.

The views of the Black Sea from the apartment were lovely, and the location was quiet and convenient. Strandza mountain is close, with lots of spectacular hiking trails that we tried during our stay. The apartments are bright, spotlessly clean, and elegantly furnished, making them a great fit for a longer family visit. We’ve stayed twice on separate trips, and both times the care we received went beyond what we expected. Natalia (the front desk lady) was professional, friendly, and looked after us so well. We’ll definitely return next year.

There’s a small kitchen where it’s easy to make breakfast or dinner, and the rooms are quite clean. Both bedrooms have air conditioning, though you control them with the same remote. The beach is very close, as are supermarkets, restaurants, and entertainment spots. It’s a cheap and cheerful place. Parking costs a lot, and finding a free spot can be hard. The beach itself is free to use, with no reserved area for the hotel, and you can choose whether to rent an umbrella or sunbed. Each costs 5 leva. There are also plenty of bars on the beach. Enjoy your vacation!
