5 star hotels in Golden Sands

​A hotel that didn't impress me. A few years ago, I had a better experience at the Melia in Sunny Beach. If I hadn't chosen the "Level" option, I think I would have left extremely disappointed. The food was okay but quite repetitive. The restaurant at the Level was much quieter than the standard one. The standard restaurant was incredibly noisy. The alcoholic drinks were of poor quality, with the exception...

Nice place, right next to the center of town. The hotel is big, with many facilities and a good balance between money spend ans services available. I do recommend it (keep in mind that it is not a 5 stars hotel overall)

It’s a Strong 4.7 out of 5 This was our second stay at Meliá Grand Hermitage, and once again it proved to be an excellent choice for a relaxing family vacation. The overall atmosphere is calm and welcoming, and the quality is consistent, which is not always the case when you return to the same place. Rooms & Cleanliness One of the biggest pluses here is how clean and well-maintained everything is...

The hotel is very lovely with various restaurants that you can reserve. The pools are spacious and nice. The beach is a little walk down the hill which can be a challenge with children to climb back up. In general, the location is nice because you can walk along the beach walk. The animation team was the best, with great entertainment and activities through-out the day as well as in the evening. They...

One of the best vacations of my life. Very nice hotel. Good food. The animators are very professional and friendly. I'll definitely go back there someday

Everything was perfect about our vacantion, thanks for everybody , from the cleaning ladies , cooks, servers, bartenders, everybody.... Special thanks to Eva and David from the animation team, my son was thrilled about the kids club and the mini disco shows !

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

5 stars hotel located in gilder sands outdid Varna. Good if you have a car or take taxi. Main attractions are the ****** if you like it and good breakfast and dinner. The beach in this season is deserted and everything is closed. They have nice indoor swimming pool and a gym. Air on go only as low as 24 degrees. I was upgraded to vip floor with a nice room

The hotel is generally not bad, but for this price, it does not meet my expectations. The room we were accommodated in did not meet the standards of a 5 star hotel. The prices at the pool bar are very high, and the breakfast is the same every day.

In overall nice hotel, but had unpleasunt expirience with reception that quite ruined overall impression - asked about option for late checkout, was told it is possible, went to exchance to local currency to pay for late checkout, when returned to pay was told it is impossible when guy at reception blamed me in a lie about previous late checkout approval and didn't appologize for it even after confirming...

Overall, everything is fine, it's just the age of the hotel and it's time to do some renovations.

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.

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.

- The location is good - after renovation the hotel looks luxury

Looks amazing and it's very close to the beach, which makes it very attractive.

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...

I've reserved directly on the HVD website, I recommend you to do the same at better rates compared to Booking. For our pleasant surprise we've been upgraded from family room to maisonette. The maisonette consist into the first floor, a living, bathroom and terrace, on the upper floor two rooms and two bathrooms. One of the rooms have the bathroom inside. The rooms are really spacious and have everything...

I appreciate that they are not wasting food only for opulence like they do in Turkey. Food is various, there are several options even for vegetarians or for those who prefer healthy food, but not exagerated. Beer is fresh and cold always, bartenders are young and friendly, good ice cream. All the rooms have sea view and is very nice. Plenty of parking spots. 2 minutes from the hotel entrance to the...

We had a family room, for 3 adults and a newborn. We appreciated the guarded parking, but the parking spots are insufficient. We ended parking on the pavement towards the restaurant. There were 2 joined rooms, with a door that couldn’t be closed between. Kind of strange, considering the door was not mounted correctly. The bathrooms had a bad smell inside. On one of the bathrooms the fan was not...

Riviera Beach is a hidden gem in Golden Sands. It was bought by the HVD group last year, and since then, the overall quality has improved drastically. The rooms are just what you would expect; however, each one has a view of the sea, and watching the sunrise is a truly unique experience. The restaurant was fantastic - there was a wide variety of food options to suit every taste. The food was also always...

One of the best experiences i’ve ever had, out of the ordinary staff, so kind and lovely to communicate with, especially the girls at the reception. High quality beds and so many services. I highly recommend it!!

Excellent Easter weekend stay here. Would come again if the price is reasonable. We were due to stay at the 4-star Nympha Hotel, but we got upgraded to 5-star Riviera Beach Hotel. Riviera Beach may have been 5 stars once, but it's not quite 5 stars nowadays. It's an old hotel, somewhat renovated. Rooms are large, spacious. All rooms have a sea view, but for 1st floor rooms the view is somewhat obscured...

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.

Good location, right next to the beach, indoor pool, nice place for a family holiday.

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

I have been here before and I had excellent time, so I decided to return. Although I was on my own, I didn’t feel alone , everybody was very welcome and I always had somebody that I can have a chat with. I used all-inclusive for breakfast lunch and dinner -food is absolutely outstanding . You could also have wine either white red or rosé or two different kinds of beer that was part of the all-inclusive...

A very pleasant place to relax! The hotel is cozy, and the spa area really impressed me – the sauna with a sea view and the salt room were amazing. The atmosphere is calm, and you can truly unwind. Also, the pizza at the beach restaurant was incredible! 🍕 I recommend the Capricciosa, but keep in mind the restaurant closes at 6:00 PM, so don’t miss it.

A very good spa, great mineral pool, very kind and polite staff, close to restaurants and a beach restaurant. The whole family enjoyed our vacation.

Amazing place with great food, outstanding service and wonderful vibe. The center is clean and it has everything you need to relax and enjoy your vacation! Highly recommend!

The hotel was amazing I loved my experience there the food was great and the staff was lovely and were super kind!! I recommend going there and I enjoyed staying there it was amazing they had such welcoming and friendly atmosphere I loved it!!

The Karaoke Bar attached to the Hotel is exceptional. Great entertainment via David and THE BEST WAITRESS IN BULGARIA, Blagovesta. Intially called in by chance and thereafter went there every night. Very clean, with a wonderful ambience. BLAGOVESTA makes sure that noone waits; clears tables and is really likeable. The Karaoke is impressive with key changes and echo. The venue is well-ventilated and...

Beautiful place with amazing staff and cool chilled atmosphere, the place has the right balance between chic and relaxed, the owners made amazing job by keeping the place familial and at the same time professional, they sent a cake for my partner’s birthday which was a nice and thoughtful, the food in all the restaurants is outstanding and the staff will do anything to make the customer happy, the...

5 star property, service could be improved So beautiful, an amazing place to stay. We loved the apartment, the beach club and the restaurant. The service in the reception was completely absent, we were left to ourselves to figure everything out, but we managed :)

Stunning hotel, couldn’t fault a thing! Everything you could wish for all in one complex. We will be back!

Awesome place with very good service

The most beautiful location on the Bulgarian seaside! Excellent, everything is excellent!

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...

We had a wonderful stay at Ensana Aquahouse this summer. The hotel is beautiful, very clean, and perfectly located by the sea, with great facilities for families with children. What impressed us the most, however, was the attitude of the team. During our summer stay, we raised a concern, and the management took the time to listen, clarify, and handle everything in a very constructive way. This gave...

My stay at Ensana Aquahouse was truly enjoyable from start to finish. The hotel offers a calm and welcoming environment, perfect for relaxation. Its location near the beach and surrounded by greenery adds to the overall peaceful experience. The room was clean, cozy, and well-equipped. One thing that really stood out was the excellent housekeeping service. The maids were thorough, polite, and made...

A great experience! The pools are fantastic and all the place is wonderful designed, a lot of trees and flowers that relax your eyes while you enjoy the water. Also, while you are at the pool, you can also enjoy the sea view. The facilities are also an important aspect and the resort provide quality services. The rooms are big and beautiful, everything is clean and fresh. I also appreciate that the...

A truly wonderful experience at Ensana Aqua House! Everything was top-notch – from the facilities and the friendly staff to the delicious food. The heated outdoor pools are fantastic – very clean, well-maintained, and perfect for relaxing throughout the day. The pool with the slide was a big hit with the kids, a great touch for families. The wellness area also stands out, offering a wide variety of...

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...

There will be few words with which I can thank these wonderful people! The place is very nice, the housewives too. They were extremely kind, understanding and radiant! Maintained and clean! I would definitely repeat! ❤️

Fine place for summer holidays

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...

It's been 3 days since a hotel employee has been mowing the grass with a moto scythe every day. The noise is terrible. I recommend they use an electric scythe so we don't feel like we're on a construction site. Smoke and noise

Very nice hotel, the animation team is very friendly and attentive, great work all around!

I loved this place. My daughter came to a skating camp here. My wife and I tagged along to this hotel. Don’t expect American standards. It’s hard to compare because things are so different in Bulgaria. People are also very direct, very different culture here. It is a very nice hotel and everyone is friendly and tries their best. This is mainly a sports training camp/hotel. The beaches are clear...

We are a family of 6 with 2 teenagers and elderly parents and had an absolutely wonderful stay at Therma Palace! The all-inclusive package made everything so easy and enjoyable with a great variety. The swimming pools were clean, relaxing and perfect for both kids and adults. What truly made our stay extra special was the amazing service from the hotel staff, especially the manager at the front office...

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.

The hotel is nice, but not clean enough for my taste. The room has a special design, but there are a few stains on the carpet and the curtain, and even a candy wrapper under the sofa. Although we were supposed to have a park view, we actually had a view of a rooftop. I liked the hotel’s pools and beach. I found it inappropriate that we weren’t informed that dinner costs 49 leva per person, and that...

Our hotelroom was great with direct acces to the pool. It was open, clean, great breakfast buffet and great location. The staff in the reception on the other hand could be more open and forthcoming. Everytime we approached them we never heard a «hi» or «what can I help you with today». They showed no interest in helping you. It was hard to even know if they saw us standing there wishing help. When...

We stayed for two days and enjoyed the hotel, nice beach and surrounding of Albena very much. The hotel manager was a great help in answering all our questions and fulfilling all our wishes. Very recommendable!!!

A beautiful property right on the beach. This is our third time and remains one of our favorite spots on the Black Sea. It is lovely and there are multiple clay courts for those who play tennis.

Fantastic Stay. Very clean, wonderful breakfast, great staff, beautiful view of the Black Sea from my balcony. The General Manager, Elena was outstanding. Nice walking path along the water in front of the hotel. Easy to access lounge chairs on the sand.

Relatively new, beautiful hotel. Nice, well organised rooms furnished with all necessary features. Very comfortable beds. The staff consists of well selected and trained profecionals and every boady is ready to assist you if you need something.

Nice stay ! All staff members were very friendly and welcoming. +5⭐ for the awesome Vencislav !!!

Great animation, love the food, and big rooms!

He is not worth 4 stars. I was expecting a lot more from this hotel.

A lot of tourists from Germany. They are very noisy. Not yet the season. You can imagine what will happen in June...

The room are clean and are more than ok ! The animation staff are really friendly and make good job, but the barkeepers are really unfriendly, never see such unfriendly people ! The meal aren't good, happy come back home or eat out of the hotel. They aren't stingy with the alcool. So if the barkeepers were a little bit friendly and meal were better, were the this a TOP hotel, but in the circumstance...

The hotel met our requirements, every drink in the bar was included in our ultra all inclusive price (even imported drinks), the staff was friendly (most of the time), rooms were cleaned every day etc. The foods' quality didn't meet our standards. This must be because of our family's eating habits as others had good opinions about the food. I would recommend Hotel Atlas for everyone.

You have to get lucky with the rooms, some have good ac, some are just bad. The workers are okay, depends on who you get, the cleaner in the main area is just not good with people and tells and the managers do nothing about it. The only reason I gave the workers 2 stars is because the animation team is wonderful. They make program and make this hotel worth at least some stars, but this is DEFINETLY...

Everything was very nice, we had a great time! The food was delicious and with a great variety. The staff was friendly, the room very spacious and clean. The pools and water slides are also great! Thanks

Fantastic for the kids (sides, pools, animation / kids club, trampolines etc), great beach nearby. However service, cleanliness of the property, food/service was okay. We would not return due to how crowded everything was - difficult to walk through Pool lounges, dinning areas, reception etc. Felt like sardines crammed into a small space most of the time.

Very nice and clean hotel, about 300 m from the beach, good food (the best vegetable cream soup I've had so far!) and diverse. Free access to the hotel's water park, outdoor pool with water slides (also has a shallow area for children), wellness center with hot tub, sauna, heated indoor pool. There is also a very nice outdoor playground and entertainers for children. Very good price-quality ratio!

This is a great hotel for families with kids. It is located next to Aquapark hotel and the guests can use both facilities for free. Each hotel has pools and water slides. The all inclusive at deluxe is great. The pool bar always has good food inclusing pizza, chips, waffles and more. The play room is huge at the aquapark hotel full with ps5 consoles, pool tables and ping pong tables. The beach is ...

One of the best and high vfm hotels in the golden sands Varna. 5 minutes to the beach, new rooms, service is very good, all included, various food that suites for anyone, including vegan, clean and safe pools and spa. Lots of slides for kids, big gaming zone for all ages, billiard, pingpong etc. Arraingements with travel companies for tours, ex. jeep tours. Excellent vacation for reasonable price.

Such a great location, good food, great service. But maybe the worst rooms I've ever seen. Old, decrepit, with spider webs, cracks, ants... The photos you see on websites and booking are of the best rooms, but out of 5 rooms that my group had, all of them had either these issues, or bad sewer smell. I'll let the photos speak for themselves.

"ANIMATION TEAM" these people are just bestial, friendlier and funnier people you only see in movies. What they do for the hotel is amazing, I learned their dance in just 2 days, they do their job well and due to the argument given above I think they deserve 5 stars. "THE BARMANS" are also very good people and very friendly and they also deserve 5 stare

Ivo the animator was an amazing entertaining Guy for his age. I m glad that i've met him. He's doing a great job here. Although the hotel was pretty nice. It was close to the beach and I liked that alot. Presi the animator was the whole heart of the eveniments and them needs a rise.

Everything was pretty much okay. Food is alright, it could vary a bit, but in overall kitchen staff does excellent work. Rooms are clean, we also had amazing sea view. But after all I was disappointed by reception staff, there are not even trying to help. I was there several times, I had a couple of questions regarding our location and places to visit, also I tried to ask for additional pillow. After...

Friendly and helpful staff, tasty food with a lot of variety, nice pools, cozy room with comfortable bed mattress. Nice view too! One recommendation: all rooms should have shower and not bath. Thank you for the accomodation!

Clean and modern rooms, we had a see view and a big balcony from which you could enjoy the view. Nice hotel staff and very delicious food. Really enjoyed the stay.

Very average hotel, nothing stands out from its own kind. The only huge plus was the location, which was completely smeared by the roaring animation speakers. The same music, which on the third day you start to hate. We went for silence, but got a headache. When asked to turn down the volume, they responded by turning it down. But after a while the maximum volume returned. Even in the evening there...

As of my first time travelling outside the country. It was the best that I have. Also a thumb up for the staff at the hotel to be very helpful I ask something and finally the food was also great not quite something spectular but it was great.

From June 12-21, 2022 we rested in this hotel. Its most important advantage is its walking distance to the sea. Wide beach. Comfortable sun loungers, umbrellas. Two pools. Bar on the beach with non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks, which is rare for Bulgaria. Round-the-clock lobby bar - was not at all in any hotel. The rooms are cozy, with a hair dryer and a safe. Towels were changed every day and the...

Clean beach and water, great food, exceptional services. The parking place was far from the hotel, so make sure you take everything you need from it. The pool was very much liked by the big kids, but the one for small kids is small and deep for them. We all had fun, adults, kids, babies.

Very good hotel directly on the beach. The personnel and food are also exceptional. Thanks for a great vacation!

Excellent hotel fully justifies 4 stars!

I love being on this beach, the staff are friendly, and I always feel safe and protected because they are always walking around, the only thing is that there are not enough mattresses provided. I will visit this hotel again 👍

the rooms are nice, the service is good, but the hygiene is really bad..i got a virus because of it🥲the outdoor tables at the restaurant aren't cleaned. not even wiped. the indoor tables are well cleaned, though. and the rooms are cleaned well, too. the location isnt the best, and i won't recommend if you have a baby or a toddler. from 10 am to 11 pm theres loud music, and even after that, you can...

VERY GOOD HOTEL, NICE AND CLEAN ROOMS, FRIENDLY AND WELOCOME STUFF. ALL INCLUSIVE IS PERFECT, A LOT OF GOOD AND FRESH FOOD, DRINKS. PERFECT PLACES FOR VACATION, 1 MIN TO THE BEACH... ALL POSITIVE VACATION. THANK YOU GRIFID ARABELLA TEAM.

I had a great holiday, the entertainment team is super friendly. There was entertainment from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. All the entertainers were smiling and attentive. The evenings are good, they start at 9:30 p.m. and end around 10:30 p.m. Thank you for looking at my review, I had a great holiday

Hotel Arabella is the perfect place if you’re looking for a fun, energetic holiday! There’s always something going on — games by the pool, music, dancing, evening shows… the vibe is just amazing. The animation team truly brings the place to life.we still singing and dancing. Special shoutout to Mila – she’s an absolute star! So friendly, full of energy, and great with both kids and adults. My kids...

Every thing was awesome.especially The staff, the restaurant, the sea, the rooms, the pool, especially the entertainment team.

This hotel needs a lot of improvment especially in cleaning and food. Bathroom with mold room 506 worn towels , a/c not working dust everywere. The good thing was that the linen was white.😊 The food on the bufet was cold and no taste. The chef made a bad comment saying that romanians eating to much.of course if the food is not good you need to try something else. On the end was a bad EXPERIENCE.

This one is a tough one for me as I have a bit of mixed feelings. I would not say this is a 4-star hotel and if I'm being generous 3 and a half. We stayed in an apartment room, which is supposed to be better than the standard rooms. The rugs and sofa were very dirty. The AC worked occasionally lucky for us at least at night. It decided to work a bit harder. The best thing going for this hotel is the...

Hotel Allegra/Aurora is a hidden gem that truly feels like a home away from home. Tucked away in a serene and peaceful location, this charming hotel offers a welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. The cozy rooms are tastefully decorated and equipped with all the comforts you could need for a relaxing stay. The attentive staff goes above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels like...

Whether it's for a professional spa treat to your body or a weekend retreat, you'll never be disappointed in Allegra!!!

Clean hotel, helpful staff, excellent food for all tastes, swimming pool for children and adults. Unfortunately the distance to the beach is crossed in 10-15 min

Mnogo hubav hotel s golyam uiut

Polite smiling communicative and helpful young receptionists in the bright, light, marble-and-glass interior of Arena Mar hotel. The spa zone was ideal for us, uncrowded and of effective use and perfect fast results! The pool was spacious with dense warm water that keeps you on the surface ;) you can imagine yourself being on the beach with the photo wall of the sea and beach umbrellas on one side...

Polite smiling communicative and helpful young receptionists of a bright, white marble-and-glass interior of the hotel of broken up inside architecture. The spa zone was ideal for us, uncrowded and of effective use and results! And the pool was spacious with dense warm water that keeps you on the surface ;) you can imagine yourself being on the beach with the wall photo of the sea and beach umbrellas...

in general, everything was good, the hotel and food were super for the money. the staff is attentive and very friendly, with the exception of the barwoman named Sasha. A very unpleasant person, rude, feeling as if the guests of the hotel have come to her home. After complaining to the reception about her behavior, she started to find out about me, it's just disgusting I would like to single out Rumyana...

Everything was on point. Service was good and food was tasty. We also liked bartender Sasha (Oleksandra), she was interesting to talk with. But receptionist Anton, who first met us, was VERY rude😒

The hotel is actually very good, especially for the paid price. We got a very good offer. The food is various, good and fresh. A minus could be the alcohol, is weak and pretty cheap, but is a common thing for all inclusives stuff. Also, the animation team is strongly involved in cheering up the public, a various program and nice persons. Dimi, Kari, Yoni, Sveto, Gabi and Koko are awesome, we loved...

This season, we spent 14 days at this hotel. Our economy room was on the other side of the pool, facing the trees, and we loved it there. It was amazing—freshly refurbished, sparkling clean, a really comfortable bed, and good wifi. It was shaded for most of the day and quiet because of this side. The housekeeping ladies on our floor (3) were just amazing. Every day they provided fresh towels, disinfected...

This is my first time visiting Bulgaria, and we’re halfway through our two-week stay at Grifid Hotel Vistamar. So far, the experience has been comfortable and generally positive. My family and I chose this hotel to meet my parents, who flew in from California for their first visit to Bulgaria. The hotel is clean, well maintained, and has a welcoming atmosphere. We were warmly greeted by Johanna at...

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel .the staff was incredibly friendly, and always ready to help. The room was comfortable. We will absolutely stay here again.

I have just one word PERFECT! 1. We had an issue with the shower door the water from the shower was pouring under it, floding the bathroom. I went at the reception asking for a fix.. I have to say big minus for that, the girl at the reception was very "tired" to say at least..she called a cleaning man to clean the water and then came a tehnician to "fix" the problem, that said to put towels on the...

We stayed at the vistamar hotel for 1 week with our child. Any guest coming to the hotel should consider the following: 1. Rooms: spacious to fit a family of 3, enough luggage room and decent balcony. A very big minus is the glass wall of the bathroom. Whenever anyone would go to the toilet at night the whole room would light up and wake up the others. 2. Food: varied, good, italian and local a la...

Beautiful hotel, great location, large and clean rooms, amazing food, service and most importantly the BEST animation team. They are amazing. Peter N.

Our stay in Vistamar was incredible because of the amazing animators that did great job. They were always smiling and energetic. Lili and Soriane did wonderful job in the Mini Club with the kids. Johan and Stefi were always smiling and funny around us. Matteo and Semba were so great in leading the games. We also enjoyed the animation shows so much. Everyone were so energetic and everytime in a great...

Very Nice Hotel, relaxed atmosphere, very good food. The Animation Team expecially deni is doing an amazing Job, always in good mood 👍I had an extraordinary good Time there 🫶

Nice modern, clean hotel. fast check in and check out. Room was looking spotless. Nice shower with good warer pressure. gym was big and aircondicioned. lacking a few things though. Food was good, enough to choose from. Staff was superfast to clean your table, sometimes even too fast. would prefer a coffee machine to get my own coffee. Had to order from staff. Room was quiet. ( 4th floor, oceanview...

Very nice personnel, very nice rooms, good food. They clean the rooms often. Only a small downside--you have to go down and up some stairs to go to and back from the beach.

I stayed 5nights with my kids( 4months and 5years) and I was very happy for my choice. The hotel is in a quiet area, the room is spatious and clean, the beach is very close and clean, the food is tasty and there is a special buffet for vegetarians/ vegans. The facilities for kids are not so many but you can keep them busy for a time ( every evening- 30 minutes mini disco, play area on the beach, children...

Excellent location. Varied and always fresh food. Airy rooms. Exemplary cleanliness. Wife went to Yoga classes daily with Jasveer, a very kind and well trained guy. I hope next year when we come back to find him again. I recommend the hotels of the Grifid chain

Highly recommend their all-inclusive package for families with small children(s)

This hotel was alright. I probably wouldn’t go back.

The actual rate for me is 3.5 stars ! Everything is ok 👌! The food is good the rooms are ok and the staff is helpful! Don't forget that the price is the key for what you get ! We as a family of 2 adults and 3 kids for all inclusive payed very competitive price! And this hotel also provides shuttle to the beach and back every 30 minutes! Overall very good family hotel with solid 3.5 stars !

Summer holiday Great family stay

On paper it has everything, however when you're actually there it feels very crowded and a bit "rough around the edges." That being said, everything was fine in terms of food/service - nothing special or above and beyond in any way. However, the entertainment for kids was great (slides, pools, playground, trampolines & animation team) - which I suppose is what matters most!

Fantastic for the kids (sides, pools, animation / kids club, trampolines etc), great beach nearby. However service, cleanliness of the property, food/service was okay. We would not return due to how crowded everything was - difficult to walk through Pool lounges, dinning areas, reception etc. Felt like sardines crammed into a small space most of the time.

Everything about this hotel was great. Food good, price great, plenty for kids to do. Not many English people there but we prefer it that way anyway. Not really one for making friends. Had a full chilled time

This hotel is large and in a great position, being so close to the beach and having a great view of the sea. However, that's as far as it goes. We booked half board and granted there was plenty of food to eat, but the same fare was offered each day. The reception staff were polite, and the cleaning staff were friendly; shame I can't say the same for the restaurant staff, who watch you like hawks....

Had a great rest! The location is good, the beach is nearby! The price-quality ratio was pleasing. I recommend it to everyone who wants to have a peaceful rest on the seashore!

I stayed here 13 days and my impressions are very positive. The hotel is very good. The location is excellent. The rooms are spacious and cleaned regularly. WiFi is stable all the time and can be used for free. The food and drinks in the restaurant are good and there are enough of them at all times. The staff is very kind and friendly, especially Ivan at the reception. My experience is very positive...

Hotel located in perfect point of Golden Sands - near the beach, far from most crowded and noisy part of promenade but still offering many shops and other attractions. But location is their main strong point. Then starts to be only worse. Personel friendly and helpful. In general speaking English, but not in 100%. Rooms are some kind of time travel machine. We landed in early 90s. Clean but really...

Great hotel for families.. We got the all inclusive package and were surprised with the taste ,quality and variety of the food. All the stuff were very friendly and polite. Also need to mansion the great location of the hotel.Its a beach front property in the middle of the strip. Will be back next year..Thank you!

Hotel Lilia is one of my favourite hotels in resort of Golden sands Nice and large rooms kindly and smiling stuff cosy atmosphere And what else one need if you can wake up with gentle noice of sea waves in front of you I

Spent 4 nights here .Not really a 4 star hotel more like a 3. Pros: - big room, clean, no funny smells in the bathroom or from sewage, bed comfy enough, extra blankets and pillows in the dressing. - housekeeping doing a very good job with daily cleaning and changing towels - despite all the comments below that scared me before going there food was delicious - a lot of options from a bunch of salads...

Good parking, guarded, variated food but not every day, staff ok too our needs, very polite, room big bathroom old, good pool, bar ok.

Super experience, I feel in love with one if the receptionist(dalia the Bulgarian chick), everyone was very polite and helped with everything I asked for. The food was amazing, especially the pizza😍😍😍😋😋😋. The stairs to the beach weren’t great but i know it’s not their fault. I would recommend to anyone who wants to visit Golden Sands. See you next year Golden Beach Park Hotel👋👋👋. Second year in a row...

Great facilities, spacious rooms, friendly service! Yes, I had to walk down to the beach, bit I was able to enjoy the great sunrises on my balcony! Very happy, can only recommend!

Rooms very clean and tidy, room was cleaned daily . Staff doing their job .

We had a good room with view at the sea 😍. The place where you serve the food has a great view (first picture). The food was good not so variated but good. The drinks are locate so you can not expect at high quality (for all inclusive). To arrive at the beach you have to down a lot of stairs. We had a bar on the beach where you can take drinks and snack’s. The room was ok, cleaned. The stuff is receptive...

Had really high hopes for this all inclusive holiday. I left somewhat disappointed though. From the beginning, we were met outside the hotel by one of the workers, who very pleasantly guided us to the reception for a check in. Check in was smooth, we were I formed how to locate our room, wi fi log in, info about possibility to book in Greek/Bulgarian themed dinner, advised of gym and spa service...

The hotel exceeded all expectations. Clean, luxurious, great service. The room was cleaned every day. I left 1 lev as a tip. Every day a bottle of mineral water and bags of tea and coffee were brought to the room. There was an electric kettle, I brewed it and drank with a cigarette on the balcony. The room has everything you need. The beds are large and comfortable. All-inclusive includes unlimited...

Very nice hotel. Very beautiful swimming pool. Buffet more than adequate...top massages...really very pleasant private beach....staff almost all friendly. Nice and large room. Location 10 minutes walk from the beach and the center. I recommend

We finished our week's holiday at the Dolce Vita hotel. In my opinion, the hotel definitely deserves 4*. Large, spacious rooms, cleaned every day. The view from room 701 is fabulous. Phenomenal swimming pools, a paddling pool for children, a large swimming pool (25 m) and a water playground. There are enough sunbeds for each. The bus goes to the beach every 30 minutes and returns from the beach every...

Hotel is nice. Strange, it has rug in the hallway, but floor tiles in room. Good food. Their's private beach is far away, about 15 minutes walking. The beach is awful and has no bars, or any way to buy drinks or food. Sunbeds and umbrellas awful. Not again on their's Beach.

Big Thanks to this hotel. It was very good week.I want to say big thanks to animators , especially the boss of animators Misha , she is very big professional.kid has very positive emotions from her.And also me too.

The food was Bland. Sunny Beach was good place to relax. The people in Bulgaria are fine. Food and grocery are expensive! However, Hotel Shipka did not offer any night entertainment or excursions tours. The Shipka hotel was quiet and peaceful. I give Hotel Shipka only 3⭐.

Me and my family had a stay booked in August at this hotel. I will be honest from the get go - the hotel claims to be a 4 Star place, but it's really just a high grade 3 star establishment, and I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but it is a bit misleading. The Hotel lacks in atmosphere and feel, but it's very nice and clean, no issues with hygiene. The staff is really-really nice, not everyone spoke...

Tourist service at a very high level. Regarding the balance between price and quality, quality is important at a very reasonable price. The staff is helpful with a smile and good reception. The furnishing of the room is excellent, presence of cold and hot water, regular cleaning, regular change of sheets. The canteen has a very rich and diversified menu with a rich presence of meat of all kinds, vegetables...

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Shipka Hotel for a week, and I couldn't be more satisfied with my experience. The location is absolutely perfect, located in a charming area that's both quiet and conveniently close to the beach and all the night attractions. the housekeeping team did a fantastic job maintaining it throughout my stay. It's clear that they take great pride in keeping the property...

I would like to give fully rate for the service of this hotel,the personal are very friendly to help us solve the problem what we get immediately.and they are also take the responsibility for us and taked really carefully of us.thank you very much again. Best regards, Emma from Switzerland

I am staying in this hotel for the 3rd consecutive year, welcoming staff, varied and rich cuisine, parking guaranteed right in front of the hotel, indoor and outdoor swimming pool, children's pool, brand new sauna, gym, piano bar.

The view from the room was excellent, the indoor pool nice, flexibility and kindness of staff and good breakfast !

The hotel is very good from vacation with friends and not very good for vacation with family even tho there is kids club for the kids. There are animators at the hotel which are very kind and funny. The food is good for all inclusive and there are many dispensers to get water at any time for free. I would go here again if I have the chance.

I liked the hotel very much. There are very nice animatrs who took cre of our kids and made hats with them and drwings. The pool is very beautiful and appropriate for the kids. I would come here again next year.

My vacation in hotel Royal was very cool and cery fun because of the animators Reni and Melek who organised coo fames all the time. The pool was very big and the water wasn't cold. Me and my friends will come here next year too.

It was very good holiday here in Bulgaria. I had fun with my friends in and outside of the hotel. In the Hotel Reni and Melek helped us spend a really good holiday and when we were outside of the hotel we had fun at the beach.

I recommend the hotel to everyone who wants to have fun on their holiday . The animators Reni and Melek are making fun games for adults and for kids at the kids club . The staff is nice and always ready to help .

The hotel has very cool pool and very nice staff. The animators Reni and Melek made our holiday even better because they took care of the kids at the kids club and drew with them. The lifeguard was very funny and nice. The holiday was great.

It could have been a perfect stay if it wasn't for the food, which was disgusting. The service is incredible - the staff is extremely kind, they greet you when they see you and care about what you want. The hotel rooms are modern and spacious and the open balconies are nice and sunny with lots of place to sit and a great view. It would have been too good to be true if the food was at least bearable...

The stuff was really nice and the room was great. I totally recommend!

Very clean and tidy. Exellent foods, Kind staff! 👍

Was an excellent experience, nice, clean rooms, good food and really friendly atmosphere. I would recommend this hotel

Perfect This hotel surprised me in a good way, is really a 3 starts hotel, rooms are clean, large and the balcony is fine. The food was not very fancy but was tasty! I recommend!!

Stayed in one of the 2 larger 2 room apartment and loved the huge terrace balcony. Rooms were clean but carpet starting to show age. Food was good if a bit repetitive on the vegetable options. Main courses ranged from ok to great. It is a bit of a walk to beach, about 10 minutes to the free Riviera beach zones.

We have now been to this hotel 4 times. Twice a year our ladies group meet there foŕ a get together 35 this time. We have always found the rooms very very clean. 7 days a week the cleaner came in , replacing used towels , making beds etc. The beds are comfortable which is a big plus. There is a small fridge in each room. The staff have always gone out of their way to be polite and helpful, Manager...

The hotel is the best option ever! It has it's own parking space for cheap per day, (15BGN). The receptionist is super friendly. Not to mention the rooms. They are spotless. The best rooms ever. As for the barman's the pool one is the greatest one to exist! Extremely friendly and catches on super fast about your liking. He may be a bit old, but he is fast and gently with the drinks! The lobby bar was...

The hotel is beautiful and the animators are really nice. Games were very fun. The food was delicious.

The staff at the reception is very kind. I arrived earlier than expected and they let me in without extra charges as soon as my room was ready. The room is very clean. The beds are good and comfortable. I had a room with a sea view. As the hotel is not directly on the sea, the view was a little disappointing. The buffet is good. The food could be a bit warmer. The hotel has an entertainment program...

We had a great time. Far too much food and drink. The hotel and rooms were clean and tidy. The staff (very unusually for Bulgaria I am afraid) were friendly and helpful. Nice outdoor pool and good situation within walking distance of town and beach. Could not give 5stars only because it lacked the glamour and gymn/spa facilities of a top hotel. No other reason.

Rooms are fine, can't say the same about bathroom. No chance to have a good food there. Hotel should have 2 or 3 star's not 4. Very disappointed. All inclusive but no chance to have something between lunch and Dinner because Bulgarians neighbours nearly fight who will be first near pizza and take more food

The hotel is very nice, the staff are very nice, the inside pool is great and warm, the family room is big, has 2 bathrooms which is great when you travel with kids, the location is great, the breakfast is great while there are a lot of guests in the hotel, at the end of our stay when there weren't a lot of guests in the hotel- the breakfast wasn't fresh every day, the bread was with mold on it, the...

We stayed here at the end of September for 5 nights. The hotel was quiet due to it being the end of their season which meant a lot of the local shops, bars and restaurants has closed (no fault of the hotel, we didn’t do our research and assumed the season would continue into October - something to be mindful of if you’re booking in 2024). The food and spa were the highlights of our holiday. The spa...

Great hotel very modern and clean and fresh not a very old building. I stayed there because the hotel next door had booked me in but was closing for the season mid week . So they arranged my accommodation at this wonderful Area Mar great location great food all staff very very friendly and helpful can’t fault the place great Ukrainian bar lad and young lady thank you

We spent 6 days at this hotel with family and child. Nice and clean rooms. Friendly staff. Good food and lots of it. It's a great experience. A good place for groups of friends but also for families with children. I noticed a very good organization. I also work in tourism and I can appreciate it when employees do their best with tourists to have a good time.

I was transfered from another hotel and couldn't have asked to have been looked after any better, the staff are wonderful and happy to help. You are a 2 minute walk to the beach, with lots of bars and shops on hand. Valya works behind the reception bar and is a treasure, and an asset to the hotel. The food is buffet style and plenty of choice and decent open hours, the staff are all friendly and helpful...

A very nice hotel, the golden thime on our vacantions. The beach is nice, the service is the Best, Thank's to Elena the manager of the SPA center - he is so nice & helpful. We have the Best massages in our vacantions

I was in this place for a couple of days and I had great experience. I had a lot of fun with the amazing animation team, which I admire truly. The girls were amazing!! We would love to see them again

The restaurant's food is incredibly tasty every day, but it would be desirable . The hotel is an old one and some equipment in the rooms and in other places that require it should already be changed . But the most fun in my experience here were the animators, who are very dedicated to their work, they will never leave you busy, you will always have something to learn from them. I'm glad I chose this...

All i can say for my 4 days in this hotel is that the Animation team was incredible, we had i lot of fun with the, diverse activities.I will mention Kris and Alex for the fantastic work they did to animate the tourist!!!

It was a stay with up and down. First of all we receive a room at 6 flour, but the problem with this was there were a lot of ants 🐜 . See video After we insisted at the reception they change our room, we got a smaller room, with partial see view, but no 🐜 . The cleaning staff were miserable. They never even changed our towels or touch out the trash. The food was okay-sh, but not very good quality....

I highly recommend this hotel! Location is amazing, food surprisingly good but what deserve for the 5 stars is personnel. Especially animation team! Girls are literally an angels- so patient, easygoing with children and with their harts on their hands. My daughter loved them and couldn’t wait to take a part in every entertainment, so starting with morning gymnastics and finishing on great Mini Disco...

The hotel is excellent, the sea is wonderful, the food is excellent. There was a very large selection of food.

During my stay at the hotel I liked my stay I liked the service of the staff but especially the animation. I talked to Vanessa one of the animators and I had fun playing the games. They are always smiling and give me energy.

The experience in the hotel was great. The food was good, the lifeguards cleaned the pool and the pool area every day and they were always helpful , the bartenders were polite and did their job with smile and the animation team did games for kids and night show for adults!

I wasn’t expecting such a good hotel. Not only the personally was polite, the rooms were clean and the food was good, but very responsible. The lifeguards cept the pool clean and the one with the tattoo’s help me and my daughter who got dizzy.

We are often visitors to Golden sands and stayed at many hotels. I think this is the best one we have ever stayed at . Everything about this hotel A1 plus . The staff and management can't do enough to make your stay a perfect one and will go above and beyond what's expected. Martina and Georgi who part of the management will sort any problems you have straight away . Not like other hotels who make...

we really liked our stay at the hotel, the food was very good, the staff were polite, the rooms were not that big but they were clean, the beach was close but the hotel does not have a private beach, you have to pay for it, we liked the animation team a lot Krisi, Marti and Jani were very good, Marti was very good at ping pong, most of the time it rained, but they lifted our spirits and had nice parties

I really liked the hotel. The location is very nice. It’s close to the beach and to the center part. The food was okay. The rooms get cleaned every day. The staff was very nice, I really liked the animation team. We enjoyed our stay here and we recommend it.

The hotel is located close to the beach. The menu is varied, it is advisable to add dairy products for breakfast. The room is clean.
