Has anyone been to Bulgaria on a family holiday?

If so, was it any good? Currently planning summer holidays and I’m quite sick of the usual Spanish/Greek islands. Never been to Bulgaria or really considered it but the prices look a lot cheaper than the European countries. Looking at the sunny beach area in particular but open to anywhere with a relatively short transfer time to the airport, all inclusive and good entertainment for the kids.

I have absolutely no knowledge at all about this country so would love some tips or opinions thank you.

Ha ha, yes, but about 40 years ago! The weather was great! It was still under the iron curtain then so I can only imagine how different it must be now!

Sunny beach is a bit grim, stag do etc, but we were a bit further down the coast, closer to Varna, and the all inclusive was great, good entertainment for kids, food was fine etc. Lovely sandy beach, warm sea, but watch for rip tides!
