5 star hotels in Golden Sands

I will start with the good things, of course. To mention that we had an Ultra All Inclusive package. The location is great, in the city center, there were a lot of shops near by. Also, the room was clean, it looked like in the photos. At the bar, we got served with any drink we wanted. The food I cannot say it was the best, it could ve been better, more diverse, especially at breakfast. We stayed for...

It's a great place to stay and enjoy the Golden Sands holiday area. The service is great and friendly with a nice environment. The prices in the Café are a bit overpriced, but considering the high season, it could be acceptable. The clean level is high as well. Thanks to all staff that keeps Admiral on high level for holidays.

Amazing place. The rooms are very modern and clean. Many facilities, beachfront with the hotel own swimming pool between the hotel and the hotel private beach. Food was outstanding and diverse. We really enjoyed our stay at Admiral Hotel and we will definitely come back.

Great location and everything you might need during your trip was in a minute walk distance. Perfect view from the terrace. Breakfast was very good and well organized. Our room was clean and big enough. Lobby bar was not well stocked. Staff at the reception were friendly and supportive. Cleaning staff was not okay, because we need to ask them for towel change most of the time. We had problems with...

Very good hotel. Comfortable, clean rooms with high-quality modern renovation. The view from the windows is just the bomb. The staff is friendly, helpful. Willingly goes to meet the requests of the guests. With a great desire to solve the problems that have arisen with the guests. The food deserves special praise. The highest level. This is not an Egyptian or Turkish canteen. This is real restaurant...

Great hotel, friendly staff, cleanliness. Oh wow, the food is delicious! There are ramps and elevators. Private pool, 70 steps to the beach! The air conditioner is common, the temperature is set individually and does not blow, it just keeps the degree. Towels and bed linen are changed on request. Cleaning daily. Balcony in every room. Everything is there for a comfortable stay. Particularly pleased...

The hotel is nice. It has a spa and massage centre. The room was big and modern and nicely furnished. The bed was very comfortable. The Tv is small and obsolete with no casting options, so you can't stream from your phone. Overall, cleanliness is everywhere. Smells nice and pleasant. Just be careful with the expensive alcohol! Mine was diluted with water, hence the blurry colour of the Rakia. When...

I love it! The location is very well located, in the middle of the tourist resort. Nearby, there are a lot of beach bars and funny places with games for all ages. The hotel has a casino on the ground floor. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The rooms are big and it offers you all what you need. The food was tasty and vary.

The hotel in itself is great, clean,great food and excellent service. But the guests are of the lowest level. They grabbed food with their bare hands, they let their kids run arround and no one from the hotel staff said anything to them. The internal pool smelled like pee. Also, way too few elevators for how big the hotel is, you could rarely get one available.

Unfortunately the horrible music from the Luna park outside doesn’t let you sleep at all. For the breakfast they put just one bottle of sparkling wine for hundreds of guests 😂😂😂 Apart that it’s nice hotel very close to the beach “, nice sea view as well

So, we booked this room, the amount charged was one night before arrival, and two nights after arrival, and upon check out the amount payed for 1 night was not reimbursed, as the receptionist said. We wanted a balcony, we received one without. Second, the ac was not working, we had to stay at 27.5-28 degree in the room. To be somehow fixed we needed to call like 6 times for a person from maintenance...

The hotel is great, deserves 5 stars, decent food, helpful staff, good spa and pool services. The only issue we had was the fact it was way too noisy! There is a club right in front of the hotel which closes at 2 AM every night, with very loud music so we really could not sleep earlier than that. However if you are looking to party a lot and spend your nights clubbing this is very convenient but if...

Beautiful place with a great location. The room was big and cosy. The bathroom needs improvement, the shower 🚿 was leaking. The food was delicious. The staff are pleasant and cooperative. The beach is amazing, you can lose yourself there🌊🌊🌊♥️♥️

I had a really wonderful vacation in the Riviera Hotel. The check-in went smooth and fast. The room was clean with the beautiful seaview. There were a lot of choices for lunch and dinner. The only downside was coffee at the restaurant. There should be a decent quality of coffee at the 5 * hotel. Also, it would be nice to have at least one vegan option for breakfast. Either avocado, tofu or smoothie...

An incredible hotel! Clean rooms, friendly staff, great food with various options, situated right at the beach. As a family of four we had a great and calm vacation. A big big thanks!

We've been here 4 times already (as a family of four), and We aren't planning to stop coming here any soon. There is a great seasight for a greatly available beach compared to the other hotels and beaches in the area. There are also 3 swimming pools, from what I believe and even a spa. Food for hotel food was great, for Bulgarian food, however, it isn't so phenomenal. Every room is well-equipped, as...

I recently stayed and enjoyed its beautiful beach, comfortable rooms, lovely green areas, and inviting pools. However, I was disappointed by the lack of good quality coffee and the average food options. Another inconvenience was the absence of drinking water in the rooms. Additionally the WiFi stability is not great.

Very relaxing nature park, protected area, with small birds, squirrels, flowers. Excellent kitchen with many different meals every day, free beer, wine too. Beautiful and quiet beach resort, suitable for relaxing holiday with family and children, highly recommended.

Very good location, in front of the enter of Golden Sands, private area, adorable park, absolutely green and colourful flowers, perfect beaches!

Very nice park , exotic beach, nice beach baar, a nice group of hotels and pools. Nice and calm place for a visit.

When I saw the room,the upset of 5 stars does not pull,as if caught in 80 -e years,on the walls, the Wallpaper,the carpet,the interior doors are old with peeling paint,balcony in the lining with the web,was the 5th floor. Bathroom: everything seems nothing,but the tub itself is raised so that the person is taller than 180 cm will hit the ceiling, the shower is old. Few outlets,and those that are not...

The only negative not enough choice of food for kids, have to pay extra and order from the restaurant

This was one of my best experiences overall, I booked "The Level" in this hotel and that is an option that gives you access to some really nice things and in my book. Totally worth it and just made my holiday a stress free and excellent experience. The areas that are available as "the level" was above and beyond. The restaurant is quieter and not very crowded, you get table service for drinks and you...

7.5/10 ratting from myself. The Hotel is nice and clean, but staff is not great and needs trainning. They also don’t do much to resolve any issues reported. Overall our stay was good, and could have been great with a little more help from hotel staff. Do not expect 5* service from staff, we had better service on a 3*. We chose the Level package, which offers a quieter restaurant, but even there the...

The hotel has nice rooms, sufficiently large with spacious and well-equipped bathrooms. However, the restaurant could offer a wider selection of dishes. I recommend using the Al Dente restaurant and placing an order to your room (once per stay). Unfortunately, the hotel has a shortage of pools, which are therefore overcrowded most of the time. Fortunately, there is also a large indoor pool available...

2 things that I do not like: 1. The tourists that leave their towels in the sunbeds to “occupy” their seat. Maybe you should consider making a beach only for level tourists. 2. The cocktails have a weird taste in a paper cup. Maybe you should consider serving them in glasses.

It is a beautiful hotel, perfect for a family vacation. The rooms are spacious and very clean, every day they come to clean and change the towels. The food is good and varied. They have artistic programs every day, clean pools, quality sunbeds and in 2 minutes you reach the beach. Hotel staff is very kind. We felt wonderful, we will definitely come back.

Hotel is rather dated. The room was clean enough but nothing special. We chose ‘the level’ and were glad that we did. It gave us access to a separate pool (the main pool was overcrowded and there were not enough sunbeds. There was constant music pumping out from speakers there as well). It also gave us access to a different eating area which was calmer than the main food hall. Food quality was average...

The hotel is located right by the beach in a very calm area

We had a 2 week halb pension booked at this hotel. Our stay was a good one mainly due to the staff, the location and the staff. Our room was a different story. We had sewage smell in the night, which the cleaning ladies tried to address. There was on and off smell of pee in some areas of the room. Not sure if from the carpet or something else, but that was a big disappoinment. The hotel in general...

Perfect retreat, first line beach location, helpful staff 👌, balneo, and mineral water treatment, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, sauna, massage and spa facilities, etc. Definitely recommend 👌 !

Stayed here for a week's holiday with my husband although not full inclusive. Hotel was lovely with a private beach. Rooms very clean & a good selection of food. We will definitely consider going back

I came a month ago and had the best time for my first solo trip. The beach and spa were perfect, and the food was also good. The staff were all friendly and helpful (especially kitchen). Some things could be improved but honestly it doesn't matter with the experience I had. The building/area also had an interesting history that I learned about through another visitor who has come here many times. Would...

The hotel is wonderful, the food, the rooms, the staff, the beach, the spa, everything is a 10. I can't wait to come back.

Place is really good Everything is clean and well maintained Beach is beautiful and quiet Pool is full with mineral water till the end of may If you want to get some relax Try this

We had the Seaview room on the top floor and it was stunning. Room was quite spacious, plenty of storage, everything was clean. Lovely bathroom, all your kits provided. Plenty of choices at breakfast and we really enjoyed our stay. Taking one star away for the pool restaurant. We had lunch there one day, and I was served undercooked chicken. My husband went to complain but was told its a thigh therefore...

I've been here twice, and each time the service was impeccable. The hotel and the rooms were clean. There were plenty of spots available at the pool and for dining. The food was diverse and good. The soft drinks were not quite to my taste, but they were okay. I had no trouble finding a parking spot. The room was large and spacious. The bed was very big, and the mattress was much better than at many...

This is our second summer in a row with two babies. Pros - Great location, modern nice hotel with amenities, friendly staff, the breakfast is a great deal, free access to Aquahotel, etc. Cons - Friday and Saturday can be quite noisy from parties outside or wedding in the hotel, rooms are getting a little big aged, etc.

At first glance, the hotel is really nice, beautiful premises and amazing decor, the lobby bar is lovely. The garden is well kept and beautiful. The pool is nice, plenty of space and sunbeds. However, there for sure is a personnel problem, more specifically housekeeping. Upon check in, we discovered that the bathroom was full on black long hairs, that were not cleaned from the previous guest. The...

Large, modern and clean hotel with an impressive entrance, pool and gardens. Well located to the beach, with many nice restaurants and bars nearby with a lovely sea view and pier. The room was large, clean and had a great sea from from the balcony. Beds were conformable and the air con was good and also quiet. Breakfast selection was extensive - but obviously not catered to British visitors (which...

The hotel and surroundings look extremely nice, providing a feeling of new and premium. The superior sea view room we had was very big, with a balcony and it’s own dolce gusto espresso machine. The overall feeling is a of a premium experience. The outside spaces, the gardens and the pool look very well maintained. It is very close to the beach. Unfortunately, the “private beach” that they offer is...

The entire place looks amazing, the view from there is beautiful. You must visit this place if you arrive in Varna, or near Varna, but just to take some photos, nothing more. I really don’t recommend food, I had an awful experience. I ordered chicken with gorgonzola, mashed potatoes, and an orange Cappy juice. I received chicken with nothing, some awful french fries and a peach Cappy. I thought it...

Highly recommended for quality dinner or lunch. The apartments offer unforgettable stay. Located on the beach overlooking the sea. The staff is well trained and polite. Meals are tastefully selected.

It truly great experience. I spent two weeks here and enjoyed every single day. I also have to say that my expectations were not just met but exceeded. I understand the Hotel opened three years ago, yet it seems brand-new. It’s a very high-quality to build and it’s well maintained. The whole hotel is very spacious and grand. My room again very large and well designed. The spa has many different pools...

It’s our second visit to this hotel, firstly was at the opening when it was not part of Ensana and secondly last weekend. We see an improvement in the services and the hotel is well maintained. The complementary mini bar was a great treat. Even is good that the hotel opted out for all inclusive, the quality of the food for breakfast is still low. Breakfast at Astor is way better, more vegetarian, non...

Exceeds Expectations by Far After staying in more than eight different hotels during a round trip in Bulgaria, I must say that this one stands out as the best value for the price. It’s the epitome of a spa resort, featuring multiple pools, a stunning garden, and an ideal location near the beach. The hotel offers a variety of restaurants, bars, and lounge areas, along with complimentary access to...

Exceptional Stay - Highly Recommended I recently stayed at Ensana Bulgaria and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. The hotel staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making sure that every aspect of our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The room was spacious, clean, and elegantly furnished, offering all the modern amenities one could ask for. The bed was extremely comfortable...

We had a wonderful experience! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with a warm atmosphere and an extremely friendly staff. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the hotel facilities were top-notch. Another aspect that impressed us was the food. The restaurant offers a wide range of delicious dishes, but I would have liked to see more taste in the desserts. On the other hand, the...

We felt so good in this hotel that we extended our stay for another night. Big room with a beautiful view, quiet, impeccable cleanliness, rich breakfast, it's impossible not to find something you like. We tried the Asian and Italian restaurant, the food was delicious! The greenery, the shade of the pine trees is divine, we really managed to relax. The only downside is the small number of sunbeds at...

Very nice hotel situated in a very good location. Food is very good, so is the beautiful garden, pool and spa areas and the beach. Now, the bad part: service is very, very, very bad. The overall attitude of the staff was defiant, to aggressive. We had to change the room because in our current room there was a very bad smell that kept us up all night. I do not know what the source was, probably a result...

Room cleaning excellent. The downsides were full plates of food being cleared away when we had quickly popped back to the buffet and before we had even started to eat! What a waste! This happened twice. Also my partner was charged for accidentally dropping a glass. It would be nice if there was an adult only area or adult only time of day for the spa and restaurant/bar. Otherwise it was excellent.

This is a very good hotel offering you comfortable rooms, variety of food, perfect service, different pools with mineral water, spa, nice garden, beach, activities for kids, bars, etc. Recommendations - housekeeping is on a very high level, however the housekeeping carts were noisy and were disturbing during nap time for our kids. The bathroom is very spacious but with limited options for hanging towels...

This might sound like the most random review, but this hotel smells amazing! The garden has a lavender alley which has a spectacular aroma drifting around the pool areas. The inside of the hotel and the rooms smell cotton-y and fresh 😄. Other than that the hotel is really cozy and comfortable. Delicious food and friendly staff. Would like to visit again!

We are for the second time in this wonderful location. Each time we were pleasantly surprised. Everything is perfect! Spacious and very clean rooms, varied and very tasty food, beautifully landscaped beach, well-maintained swimming pools, very kind staff. There is nothing to disappoint you.

Overall I'm quite happy with our stay here and would consider coming back probably in the winter. 💚 The hotel has great pools and thermal spa. 💚 Probably the best buffet I've had so far in a hotel. 💚 Rooms are spacious even the smaller ones. Access is cleverly organised with NFC bracelets. 💚 The service is kind an unobtrusive. 💚 No cash payments policy throughout the hotel and the beach - everything...

It is a 3-star hotel, by no means a 5-star hotel. The rooms look good, they are spacious, but the cleanliness leaves much to be desired, the bathroom fills with water every time you shower and the toilet bowl moves. The services are 3 stars maximum. There is a coffee machine in the room, but the coffee is for a fee. There are no chopsticks with which to chew your coffee sugar. I arrived at the check...

Overall a nice experience. Accommodation in vila was a very nice surprize( premiere and lux, standard just ok). Facilities are very nice, plenty of pools and the beach easy to reach. The food was the minus and the level of English of the staff, doing their best to communicate but clearly lacking even the basic knowledge. And not to forget..please find a supply for water melons, there was NO WAY...

I went for a weekend family trip. On reception I had quite a few demands so I had to speak to the manager Ion Bondar. After our short conversation I received exactly as I wanted as a room and amenities. +++ for this trip, i can recommend it more!!! The service, the restaurant, the views, the beach!!!! It’s simply the best!!!

The hotel is beautifully designed in every detail. I visited Therma ECO Village in October 2023, after the main season – most of the hotels in the area were already closed, so I could enjoy pure nature and empty beaches near the hotel. I enjoy hiking and Ion from the guest relation provided me with plenty of information and useful tips about the surrounding, nearby activities and trails not known to...

Good for kids, not so good for parents. Bad parts: The first problem, I sent 2 emails to clarify a situation, no answer until today. Not even a "we're sorry, it's not possible, or we're sorry, we had a problem with our internet service." The second big problem, the complex is located on the outside of the town, the access road being unlit, narrow and poorly signposted. In fact, you have a large...

Was looking for a pool to use while on Kranevo. The Therma Palace allowed non guests to use the pool and garden areas for a cost of 30 leva. Inside is a pool and 2 wooden jacuzzis. Both were good to use. Outside a pool and a jacuzzi which unfortunately was broken so no bubbles. Lots of sunbeds and canopies outside . Garden was nice to sit in. Had some lunch and drinks while there too for extra charge...

Great place with warm staff and amazing food. Michaela at the restaurant and Irina by the reception were always helpfull and smiling. Great rooms and style. Calm and beautifull garden. Great Spa and calm atmosphere.

Everything was a bit "tired" , in the need of fresh touch. The food was ok, but nothing special. Above average experience, but not excellent.

I made a reservation for this hotel for 2 nights when it first got open. It still is one of the best hotels I’ve ever been to. We will be back sometime this year, and see if they kept their high standards.

Stylish and charming hotel near the beach with beach restaurant. The service personal does their very best to make and keep their guests happy. I enjoyed the mineral water, SPA and 3 restaurants. Kranevo is near Gold Sands but very peaceful – a perfect place to rest from everyday stress and hectic.

This is a very nice hotel and very reasonably priced. It has lot's of things to do on property. Indoor and outdoor pools, indoor and outdoor jacuzzis. The water is very clean and heated nicely. It has saunas and massage services too. There is a tennis court, football pitch and a sand volleyball court. There is a outdoor playground for kids and a activity room in the hotel for kids too. The restaurant...

The rooms are very spacious. We had booked an apartment with two bedrooms and a living room which is a great option for family with kids, or if you are a group of more than 2 adults and want to be in an apartment. There are two separate bathrooms and a very big terrace with an exceptional view. All hotel staff members are very friendly and caring. The food at the restaurant is good, there is variety...

Decent but a little dated rooms, nice staff. Luckily the poolarea at the adjacent Flamingo Grand is accessible if you stay here. Very easy to find sunbeds.

I just recently came back from this hotel and we did had good stay. I am going to outline good & bad experiences in hotel. Good: -Brilliant animation team - Nice swimming pool - Walking distance to beach and 2 sunbeds included in stay. - Nice breakfast and dinner food, also chefs very nice. -One housekeeping (blond hair) lady nice. Bad: - Paid car park - There was money taken from our room, we notified...

On my stay last month I was pleasantly surprised. Even though I wasn't there in the season, I got to experience Albena and Flamingo Grand to some extent. Food: tasty and lots of options available Service: friendly, cleaning could've happened a bit more frequently and towels could've been changed more Location: Albena is a big resort with nice beaches. Because my visit wasn't during the season, I cannot...

Nice hotel with not so nice personal. I think that during the summer is better. I late autumn it looks like it is not working properly.

We had a lovely time in November, and we've already booked our next 2 visits! Spacious studio, great food and fantastic white wine, the staff is super-kind and welcoming. We liked the SPA and the connection to the 25-meter swimming pool in Dobrudja hotel. I highly recommend Elena, the cosmetic lady at the Spa in Flamingo, she made my face so radiant, that even my husband noticed, and her recommendations...

Excellent stay! Hotel is recently opened in June, everything is new and modern. Large room with a large bathroom and balcony, very good cleaning and comfortable bed. Room has everything you need, including good quality cosmetics from Fragonard. Very good food, restaurant is not at all crowded, you can definetly see the difference between this 5 star hotel and the rest of Albena’s 4 and 3 stars hotels...

Third time to Hotel Amelia which hasn't changed since first time Very basic rooms which are okay for the price. Nice looking bar just a shame it now never seems to be open or anyone serving drinks, when we first visited they were serving cocktails, coffee and great choice of drinks whilst sat on the amazing terrace - real shame this doesn't now seem to happen. Food okay and good choice. Location...

A nice hotel, friendly staff, great food. Very close to the beach but no swimming pool. No draught beer in the hotel and no English newspapers.

Very helpful, nice and cool staff. Perfect service. The food wasn't bad, nothing exciting. For the guests with children the terraces at the bottom of the corridors can be very nice place to relax after setting the children to sleep. If we come back to Albena we would use this hotel again.

The best hotel in Albena resort. Spacious rooms with amazing sea view and steps away from the sand. All amenities included, the flat iron and coffee machine in the room is highly appreciated by my side. The breakfast and dinner are great. The food at the main restaurant is fresh and delicious. The a la carte restaurant is classy, offering amazing cuisine. The staff are helpful and polite. The SPA is...

A nice hotel, looks as a 5 stars but it may be improved. Big, nice, confortable rooms. Outdoor pools could be heated because in 30 May and 6 September when we were nobody could swim there. Lucky that they have an indoor pool (small one) . I would have expected that sauna is included and does not have to pay extra for it. Breakfast and lunch are buffet. The food is good, not very good, and not very...

We spend a week with family in Paradise Blue. Hotel is excellent. Hotel offers a food that is very good quality. - this is very difficult to find on Black Sea coast. Management and staff were very helpful and ready to satisfy our whims. Hotel has very good location and that makes the stay relaxing. There was nothing that we needed and hotel do not offer. Very good swimming pool. Kids enjoined the aqua...

Great place, good entertainment and fantastic bar staff and during the day a relaxed pool area with a well stocked bar; day time food is high quality and the staff all are masked up in the kitchen.
