Riu Evrika

Olin viime kesänä viikon Evrikassa, ja voin suositella hyvinkin. Älkää olko ollenkaan huolissanne. Itse tulin hotelliin myöhään illalla, jolloin ravintolat olivat jo kiinni. Portieeri kantoi laukkuni huoneeseen, opasti minut sinne (oli aika mutkan takana), ja mikä hienointa: ruokasalissa oli myöhäisiä tulijoita varten kylmä buffet, josta sai käydä vapaasti tekemässä voileipiä/salaatteja, sekä juoda viiniä, olutta tai mehuja. Eikä maksa mittään; all inclusive!

Hierontoja on saatavilla koko päivän, hinnat about alkaen 10 euroa/puoli tuntia.

Ruoka on ihan ok, mutta aika tylsää. Lapsia on hotellissa hirveästi, varmaan 500 - 700 kpl. Heille taas on mukavaa kun on iso allasalue ja vapaasti saatavissa olevat limut ja jätskit. Ja vanhemmille oluet ja drinkit...

Hotellin allasalue ja puutarha ovat tosi kauniit.

Tallelokerot ovat vastaanoton yhteydessä, ja kannattaa ottaa avaimesta lokeron numeron kertova metallikyltti irti ja laittaa se lokeroon sisälle. Kai kuka hyvänsä yhden kolminumeroisen luvun muistaa, mutta näin jos avain putoaa ei sen löytäjä pääse lokeroon.

Lokeron saa lähtöpäivänä pitää ihan bussin lähtöön asti; niitä on sen verran runsaasti. Eli ei mittään huolta lähtöpäivänäkään omaisuudesta. Matkalaukuillekin on hotellissa lähtöpäivänä eri huone missä niitä saa pitää ja käydä vaikka vaihtamassa vaatteita. Siis: hyvää lomaa Riu Evrikassa; älkää ottako turhia paineita. Nauttikaa Sunny Beachin upeimmasta allasalueesta!

Tässä on kokemuksiani Riu Evrikasta ja Sunny Beachista yleisesti viime kesältä. En jaksanut suomentaa, toivottavasti ymmärrät, jos jotain epäselvää kysy vain. This is a report I posted when I got back from SB on July. I stayed at Riu Evrika: I just spent two weeks in Sunny Beach, stayed in hotel RIU Evrika and came back to Finland yesterday. This was my first time in Bulgaria and I really enjoyed it. Sunny Beach was a lovely place, very clean and lots of shops on the streets, different kind of restaurants, bars and a few discos. Our hotel was all-inclusive but we still ate out sometimes. Food was very cheap, dinner for two with wine, desserts and coctails about 15e-20e (30-40lev). At luch you could have two pizzas and large beers 7e (15lev). We really liked Barbeque Karibi which is along the beach road. The food was excellent (I recommend chicken filee from the grill) and service very nice. Also Djanny´s near the market area: very nice for lunch and Panorama restaurant at Nessebar. Our hotel was 3 stars, but I think it should be at least 4. The reason why it´s only 3 is that there is no air conditioning. This did not bother us. We kept the balcony door always open and if it felt too hot we opened the front door as well and the breeze from the sea cooled the room in just a few minutes. Our room vas very nice with mini fridge, satellite tv and a sea-wiev. The hotel is situated in the north part of SB near hotels Bellevue and Victoria Palace. There´s a regular mini-train service. Train goes every 15minutes to centrum and costs 1,5lev (75cent). The pool area was absolutely the best I´ve ever had or even seen! Pool is very large with separated kids area. There is also a water volley area in the pool. The pool area is very nice looking with briges going over the pool and it has a roof teracce with sun chairs. There is a pool bar and near the pool is a snack bar. As I said, the hotel is all-incl. so all food and drinks were included in the price. The hotel has its own beah area with sunbeds and umbrellas and a beach bar. Food was quite good and it had nice variety. The meals that are included are:breakfast (both buffet and continental 7-12), lunch (at main restaurant 12-14 and at snack bar 12-15), tea time (at snack bar 15-17) and dinner which has two seatings, ours was 20-21.30. The hotel offered both day-time and nigh-time entertainment for adults, teens and kids. They had water aerobics, darts, water volley, football, rifle shooting, aerobics and different kinds on competioins and games. Every night there was live music and a different show organised by the entertainment team. We went out a few nights to Lazur and Iceberg. Lazur was very impressive, lots of people and nice atmosphere. The music was not to my taste so we prefferred Iceberg which had a live band every night. We vere five times in Iceberg and saw four different bands which all were good (especially the one who played rock covers such as Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, KISS...). Drinks were really cheap at Iceberg, beer and all local booze 1lev (50cent). We went to Khans Tent (Hanska Shaktra) which was a really good night out. Food was excellent and the show very nice. The view from the restaurant was absotely fabulous! We also visited Nessebar twice, it was lovely place and a good way to spent and afternoon or even a whole day. Lots to see there. We went there by bus (0,5lev) and once came back with boat. That was really fun, because the boat was really small and it was quite windy... Allthougt I don´t recommend it if you get easily sea sick! The second time we walked from Nessebar to our hotel along the beach. It was a really nice walk, not too long. All-in-all I really liked Sunny Beach as well as our hotel. If you yet have any questions, just ask and I´ll try to answer them.

Sellainen muutos Sunny Beachilla on tapahtunut, että Icebergia ei enää ole, sen sijaan alueen pohjoisosaan (Evrikan lähelle) on avattu uusi yökesho/disco Orange.
