I booked our seaside family vacation for 2023 thanks to crypto. Waiting with anticipation for the end of June!
Seaside vacations are something that we always anticipate a lot! It is the time of the year when we go for a week to a high quality hotel and enjoy being cared for.
With three children we want everything to be perfect and to always have a meal available for the hungry little beasts. So we came to a conclusion that Ultra All Inclussive hotels would work best for our case. We also made some calculations that booking Bed and Breakfast and dealing with the food ourselves wouldn’t come a lot cheaper.
The tricky part when you book a good hotel, 4 or 5 atar, is that before the start of the season (here in Bulgaria is the month of January) they give 15%-20% discount of the prices, so my wife started the tradition of this kind of early hotel reservation.
Last year’s hotel was a real gem, and we wanted to book it again, but there was a little problem. Last year we were 2 adults with 2 kids, and this year we are +1 baby. When we called the hotel, they kindly explained that we cannot book a normal size room (40sq.m.) and our only option was a family appartment which was about 50% more expensive.
This was a NO for us, because I was switching my job and we were expecting our third child. Extra expenses were something we didn’t need at that exact moment, so we searched for other options.
We found a similar hotel, that was happy to put all the 5 of us in their regular 40 sq.m. room and their price was cheaper. It is named Voya beach resort and it was opened just lst year. It is brand new and we expect excellent quality of the service and facilities.

From the information available, I can give you the Pros and Cons of this new hotel in advance and later, when we come back from the vacation I will compare them more speciffically.
Pros:
-Cheaper price
-Newer hotel (2022 vs 2020)
Cons:
-Smaller outside area with less pools
-No free parking available
-Smaller beach with no umbrellas and sunbeds
Apart for these differences both the hotels have similar amenities and services. Only time will tell the exact details, but I am completely sure that we will have some great family time.
Now, to the crypto part…
I am a long time NEXO customer and I am really happy that I chose to use this platform.
NEXO is defined as a crypto bank, where you can hold your crypto assets at and get fiat credit with crupto being your collateral. There were some other companies offering similar services, but most of them bancrupted or seized operations the last year. NEXO, although being under political attack here in Bulgaria, managed to keep their business up and running. This means a lot in these turbulent market times!
Booking was extremely easy, although I had two unsuccessful declined transactions…
It was a while until I realized that my physical card was not activated yet and I had to use the vitrual one.
After entering the right info, I ended up with a quick and successful transaction with 2% cashback from using the NEXO platform. With this action I managed to book and pre-pay our summer vacation without spending family cash, and without selling my crypto assets. I cannot be happier for using crypto and this exact company. I dont have that much assets there currently, but I try to keep on investing there small amounts every single month, until the next bull market and crypto peak.

This is not an advice, but you can make your own research and decide if this will work for you or not.
That’s all for now!
Bye and see you soon!
