Melia Grand Hermitage - All Inclusive

I'm sat by the pool on my final evening here writing this review. Usually I'd wait til I get home to write a review, but the trip was so good I thought why wait. The Melia Grand Hermitage is about a 25 min ride from the airport in Varna. You get here, and straight away you're taken back by the scale of the hotel. It's massive, like Vegas hotel size massive. I stayed with my pal, and we went fully inclusive for a week. Can't fault anything. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are cleaned daily and fresh towels. The pool and bars are good, and the food/drink is very good quality. The sheer quantity of selection on the food is massive, and all very nice. There's also an American diner and Italian restaurant included as part of the fully inclusive, you just need to pre book to go there. The food in all 3 places is lovely. The local area is very nice too, and just down the hill from the hotel (shortcut via the pool) is a long strip of shops, arcades, bars, etc, all on a stunning beachfront. The ONLY things I would say to watch here are: - don't get stuff out the minibar unless you wanna pay, we took the toblerone and pringles off the top which we thought were complimentary, but we're not - seagulls are pests, and in the afternoon there's load of them flying around the pool area, scavenging for food These are minor things though, the hotel is epic. I'd defo come back. In terms of people here, we only saw a couple of other Brits (no bad thing) during the week here, the vast majority of people seem to be German, Polish, Romanian, Greek, or Bulgarian. Best thing we did when here was an excursion we booked on the strip. It was a boat trip that offers fishing, alcohol, and swimming in the sea. It was about 65 Lev per person, so about £30 give or take... you get picked up on this rackety old minibus, BUT it's well worth it, as when you get on the boat the booze is all inclusive, and the swimming is fantastic - there is also a BBQ on the boat, all included, as is the fishing if you choose to fish. You can also jump off the boat from the back or the top deck. For the money this trip costs, it is a superb day out and would highly recommend! Nothing other to say than very impressed with Bulgaria, the Melia Grand Hermitage, and the local amenities, I'll defo be back!!!
