Hotels near sea shore in Golden Sands

They have artistic programs every day, clean pools, quality sunbeds and in 2 minutes you reach the beach. We felt wonderful, we will definitely come back

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

Unfortunately, the lifeguards are somewhat incompetent and don't know how to provide proper service. The hotel's sandy beach is a bit far and mostly crowded. In the water, you need to watch out for large rocks

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

Fortunately, there is also a large indoor pool available. There are two outdoor water slides that are okay and one U-shaped slide, which is an interesting attraction

Therefore, I can't give more than 3 stars. : Good thing at the end: there is "no reservation service" for pool sunbads, so no morning sprints necessary

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

The hotel is great, deserves 5 stars, decent food, helpful staff, good spa and pool services

Third, we were not able to access the external pool because we had the info that the pool was closed, and we cannot go. Forth, the food at the restaurant was tasting funny

Ok

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

To be somehow fixed we needed to call like 6 times for a person from maintenance to come and check it, not fix it, but check it. At the end, two employees came and looked at the ac. , still 26 degrees in the room

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

Great location and free parking and umbrellas on the beach for guests and private pool

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

on the shores of the warm sea, the staff is attentive and speaks Russian

First line by the sea. Beauty!

We had problems with parking because of bad attitude from the guys at the barrier. Same problems with staff at the beach, who use to keep front line places for people who used to come late in the day

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

Wonderful hotel to spend a summer vacation! Perfect location on a first line, just few meters from the beach. Rooms are cleaned and towels changed regularly

Its a beach front property in the middle of the strip

The place is georgious , the hotel is almoust on the beach , it can be hear how the waves hit the sand. The stuff is kind , if wee ask something they help without any problem

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

The staff is mainly young and motivated people, that are very helpful and professional. I and my mother are among the regular visitors, enjoying hotel Lilia twice each summer for many years now

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

Very cool

Nice hotel, very tasty food, friendly staff. Room cleaned every day, breakfasts, Lunches and dinners last for 3-3. 5 hours, no need to rush, everything at the hotel is well organized and thought out

Positif : Very spacy rooms, very clean Négatif : Barkeepers very unfriendly, dont expect a smile or a thanks Perfect place to make party and have fun, not for family cause there isn't much to visit I enjoyed my vacation an spent a god time in Golden sand

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

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 hotel is big and outdated, the swimming pool is big and nice but we didn’t use it as it was still cold. The indoor pool was nice and clean

Trip was top. Great food, good rooms, nice people. Cheers to animation team and customer relations guy for the surprise very cool.

Awesome place, def will come back!!!

When we realised that they had some specialty restaurants we went in to one as it was empty but the lady at the reception said thawed had to book and that the service is from 10 AM to 6:00 PM, next day we left early so the 3

The beds were very comfortable and clean, the cleaner did a good job and the view from the room was great as we were at the top floor. The minibar had 2 beers, 1 fanta, 1 pepsi and 1 bottle of water

Our room seemed to have been renovated, but our floor’s surface was bumpy and was uncomfortable to walk barefoot, there was a carpet but I suppose that with the bumps can’t be properly cleaned

Has a diversity of desserts thru the week. The best thing its that it varies from day to day. The pool is also a great service to use. It's so clean and it has a thermal control

He may be a bit old, but he is fast and gently with the drinks! The lobby bar was very good, 2 people working at the same time, that's some efficiency. The meals are served like the Swedish Buffet

As the hotel is not directly on the sea, the view was a little disappointing. The food could be a bit warmer

The hotel is the best option ever! It has it's own parking space for cheap per day, (15BGN). The receptionist is super friendly

As for the barman's the pool one is the greatest one to exist! Extremely friendly and catches on super fast about your liking

As to finish this review, i would like to personally thank the staff and the recreation team for their effort! Kind regards from Kevin and hope we will see again soon!

Another thing is that they allowed a group of tourists to play loud manele on their wifi speaker. That was awfully! We stayed at the pool only one day because of this problems

There are 70-100 meters to the sea, you need to cross the road. The beach has paid sunbeds and umbrellas, but there is plenty of free space. You can calmly lie down on your mat right next to the sea

The housekeeper was really nice and they made everyday something from the towels that surprised us. The food was good and variated. The big inconvenience is that the hotel has no private beach

There are changing cabins!! For shopping lovers there is a promenade with stalls. To Varna bus number 9 every hour. The shore is flat, the sand is good, the seagulls are impudent

The first one is that the personal at the pool allowed tourists with drinks in the pool, and they allowed the tourists to make fun of the animation team

The first time was just great. The second time We have some differences from whatever was in the initial offer as sea view room. It was replaced with bigger apartment , half sea view and 2 floors in foot

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

Ivo the animator was an amazing entertaining Guy for his age. Although the hotel was pretty nice. It was close to the beach and I liked that alot

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

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

"ANIMATION TEAM" these people are just bestial, friendlier and funnier people you only see in movies

"THE BARMANS" are also very good people and very friendly and they also deserve 5 stare

Drinks from 10-23 PM, as it is almost every day great Events with the animation team, to 23 hours at the Pool

The hotel was ok for the money. It wasn't that far from the beach. I didn't like the parking situation

They charge you 20 leva/day for what? Parking in the street? Also they tried to charge me for 6 days when I only had 5 full days. It didn't work (for them), but I had to argument a lot about it

and don't expect parking "as-is" but more next to the sidewalk or behind the hotel which again is not a proper parking lot. Cost wise efficiency is good if you book it in advance. Will we return there? Umm not really

And for hotel's management, if you're reading this. I don't know why you're not encouraging poeple to book directly to your website, instead of paying fees to Booking and others

I booked trough the hotel's website, but it was a pain. No email confirmation, no nothing. And I also had problems about it at the reception, with the payments

The hotel has a good position on the beach it is situated in the woods close to the sea which provides fresh air for enjoying a hot day. The hotel is very clean, the stuff is nice and always smiling

Also, the lack of a beach bar nearby meant additional costs for consumption and sunbed hire. Despite these minor inconveniences, the hotel offered clean and comfortable rooms, and the staff were friendly and welcoming

The location of the hotel is really quiet and relaxing, but the distance to the beach and the absence of a private beach made access to the sea a bit more complicated than I expected

Plenty of options for vegetarians/vegans. Disliked · -Neighborhood was dusty and under construction -Pool table and foosball table need to be maintained or changed. -A rubber matt is needed in the bathroom

5 star to the hotel manager! He changed our room into a bigger and better one because first one had a light smell, our card broke into the pocket( our fault) and he replaced with any supplementary charges

It's a nice place, friendly staff. A lot of stairs all around the hotel, but won't be a problem for a healthy legged person. For me personally it was a problem.

Loud music, from a nearby venue was heard in our room, booming out until midnight. None of this the fault of the hotel. Situated a short walk to the beach the location was spot on

Wonderful place. The closest to the sea hotel. Modest room. Clima out of service. Noisy beach. To numerous Rumanians…

Excellent staff. Good location opposite beach and close to all amenities. Rooms basic Breakfast good Hotel very clean Will definitely return.

the biggest plus: it is located 20m from the beach and it is cheap. there are at most 15 parking spots for 14 floors x 12 rooms! call to reserve a spot

Breakfast was good both in quality and quantity but dinner could be a bit hit and miss. No other British tourists to be seen at the resort of Golden Sands, mainly Bulgarian, Romanian and German

Pity about the neon advertising board on top of the Lighthouse Steakhouse opposite which continued twenty four hours, day and night shining its light onto the balcony

Staff is very friendly, pool is completely new and redone and the hotel’s price/quality ratio is great for what it offers compared to other places I have visited in the area

After having breakfast we took out coffee and juice out of the dining room and had it by the pool laying in the beach chairs and it was very nice to do so. Lots of green plants, fresh morning air and splashing water

Very nice hotel and staff, good location and breakfast. Pool area also inviting. Short walk to a cozy beach.

This hotel is very clean and staff very friendly. My only disappointment is that the pool is not open yet.

When I was there there were a few guys shouting all night and I believe they were highly intoxicated and asked to leave by the owners to keep the peace for the rest of the visitors who were there with the families… all I can say is thanks for handling the situation

The only compromised thing is location. Otherwise, the hotel is definitely 3-star one. Outside, the options are not for gourmets. During my stay the hotel turned out to be very quite, on the upside

Pools are quite clean but the are too little sunbeds vs number of guests so at 9 am all sunbeds are reserved by “towels” (hotel should equipped pool area with more sunbeds)

A nice option for your vacation. I've stayed in a deluxe room, which was great because there's plenty of space and has a view to the sea, even though not the greatest, since the hotel is about 450m from the shore

If I arrive to Bulgaria next time I will choose a 4* hotel in Sunny Beach region (more free zones on beach, shorter distance hotel-beach, more shallow coast (100m off the coast water depth is about 2m), shorter distance airport-hotel

Walk to a tiny free zone of beach takes 15 minutes (1,4km because there is no straight way between the hotel and the beach, check on google maps!). This part of beach was really crowded

A sunbed or an umbrella costs 6 lv/day. To summarise: the hotel is not perfect but quality vs price is acceptable in my case

The room was clean with a comfortable double bed and a sofa. The bathroom was also spacious and clean. The balcony had chairs and table to serve some drinks and a drying rack for cloths

+ Clean hotel + Good service from their staff + Location + Free gym, big pool outside - Wi-fi is paid (no matter where in the hotel), which is one of the big drawbacks of this place - Food is nice (though not much to choose from), but drinks and cocktails are among the cheapest in Bulgaria

Decent,clean and friendly personnel. needs some replacement of the pool equipment (umbrellas/ deck chairs), better wifi (not paid anymore)

Nice and clean rooms, good food and very nice staff.

Food was Good (didn’t try much of the offered diversity) would suggest to add “transport to/from airport” and room service. DO NOT ASK RECEPTION FOR A CAB!! the fare is around twice as high

Arena Mar is a 2 years old hotel, they build it very fast. Service is smiled and kind even some times too much. Food is all inclusive no much choice of food. Overall this is a family hotel

This is a new hotel built in 2015. Rooms are well arranged, bathrooms are modern, staff is very friendly.

Absolute gem of a hotel and experience - quiet, affordable with incredible park and brand new pool! Approximately 15m by car from Varna and 5 from Golden sands! The staff was super kind and helpful when we needed directions and the food was amazing

We simply love this place, great pool and lovely staff, 5 stars all round :)

A bit away from the beach but a fine place

The rooms are OK, the hotel is understaffed.. So the services are slow. The biggest letdown is that is far away from the beach, and there are no roadsigns to guide you and the roads are quite convoluted.

Extremely good rooms for the price, service was good and cooperative even if I didn't speak their language

Our rooms were clean and bright, we woke up with the sunrise above the coast!

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

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

Either avocado, tofu or smoothie would be perfect!

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

Good equipped hotel, rooms clean and large, balcony too. Great view at the sea. Few metres from beach. Best price vs offer

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

Amazing place!

Ok

Everything was just perfect! The reception staff , the restaurant staff very pleasant, kind and friendly! Just 30m from the beach!

Big rooms, good quality of service, tasty and various food, free parking lot, clean pool and a lot of drinks!
