Kaliakra Beach Hotel - Ultra All Inclusive

Interesting place. The hotel is well located right on the beach and we upgraded to an executive sea view room from a standard sea view room for 21 leves (a little over £9) a night. They initially wanted 42 leves a night but with a little pushing the price halved. They are bigger and have excellent sea view and balconies.we can clearly see the sea from our bed. We are hear right at the start of the season and the rest of albena is very quite. The food is good and more varied then most having had, chicken; duck, beef, lamb,pork, mussels, king prawns, tuna stakes and shark. As well as all the usual things. A good 7 out of 10 food wise but an 8 out of 10 for all inclusive. They have 4 bars and they serve decent brands and cocktails but they are all pretty small and I have absolutely no idea how they would cope when full in the high season.
Some staff are friendly enough and most have a basic bit of english. But it's not an "english" hotel. Seem far more for germans and Romanians (less then an hour to the boarder). Be aware Albena is very much a resort on it's own (there must be over a dozen hotels etc) but everything here in the resort is geared to getting your pennies and the prices are really high for Bulgaria. Even a 15 minute taxi to the nearest town is £30 return and the so called supermarkets on the resort are sometimes twice uk prices (and 4 times normal Bulgaria prices).
Finally the hotel is clean and well kept.

Spent 2 weeks here in September with my family. It was almost end of season so very quiet and not much to do except explore. This was to our liking tho as we wanted a very relaxing holiday. Food was very good and snacks anytime during the day, restaurant staff could have been more friendly and at least acknowledge you. However the room cleaners where smiley and room was cleaned everyday. The bar staff especially Kleo and Pino pretty much made our stay fantastic, so warm and friendly. By the end of our first week we seen them more as friends than staff, we had such a great laugh with them and they are both and absolute credit to the hotel 🙏🏼 There is a local shop just outside the front doors to the hotel, the gentleman in the shop was so friendly and kind, he went out his way to buy stuff that we liked and stocked his shop with it. Please visit this shop if you go on holiday, he will look after you from snacks to getting you a reduced price on a taxi.

The hotel is very close to the beach and kids love that (and adults too). The rooms are big and very nice, but the a/c is too weak and it wasn't able to cool the room properly. The room cleaning lady did a nice job and the room was always cleaned.
The food was great but the coffe was not very good. The only good coffee was the one served from the inside bar near the reception.

Bad: The reception staff wasn't very helpful and friendly, also the cleaning staff was "missing", in five days of staying the room was not cleaned but we noticed that  they come every day and just closed the door from the balcony and left(we had ants in our room 714). If you wanted a seat to the private beach you had to wake up from 06 a.m. for something in the middle(if you come after 10-11 a.m. everything was occupied). The air conditioner was not working properly in our room. The water from the pool for small children was freezing at any time of day(the other two were good). The cleaning staff from outside was rude. The water smells from the shower.

Good: The hotel is beach front. The hotel is child friendly(they had entertaining parties every night). Parking area is near the hotel(when leaving you can pay for parking in the hotel).The sea view from the balcony is beautiful. The barbecue and bar staff was helpful and friendly. The food was good and varied(but not so tasty). The beach,  sea and the pools were very clean. There are a lot of green and trees.

Clean, nice rooms (double superior), nice staff, it would be better if at dinner would be live music.

I love it. I come here since i was little and its one of the best hotels i have ever seen. Totaly recomand it!

Enjoyed every day in this hotel !!
Clean room with good service .
