Spa-Hotels in Golden Sands

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.

very nice place, very close to the beach and lots of shops. Everyone will find something interesting to eat. I highly recommend it.

Bellow average hotel at Golden Sands. This resort use to be beautiful sea side place in a forest next to the beaches now just hotels next to other hotel extremely noisy and full with drunks

The food tastes good Excellent bar drink ‏Great room view ‏Daily charge of mini bar mineral water Large terrace room ‏Low dessert variety Staff uniforms were not stylish. The staff did not smile. Weak beach bar. No snacks with drinks. Inappropriate delivery hours for towels. No electric kettle in the room.

Very satisfied, especially with the food and views. Recommend. Star down: terrace bar closes at 10 PM and you have to go to the lobby bar, which is, given the nearby sea, far less attractive place. Possible quiet time is not a legitimate excuse as all the clubs nearby blast music well after 2 AM. Massive usage of single-use plastic and paper cups.

Not a 4-star-hotel. I stayed at the hotel in 2021. Great location, spacious rooms with balconies and good wifi. Breakfast is disastrous (we were all very glad we hadn't gotten the all-inclusive package). On a rainy day we went to see the spa, which is 2 working saunas and an indoor-pool. Closing times at 19:00 hs are questionable though. That's it, I hope this helps you decide! ;)

Excelente 4 star hotel. Super clean and great location

Pretty good. Not the worst, not the best. What you pay is what you get!

I was in that hotel 2 times very well fed and free drinks I recommend to everyone

Although it is a 3 star hotel sometimes i start to doubt that because of the small things that make impression. For example in some rooms the system with magnetic key locks on the doors doesnt work and you have to use a key , sometimes when you go to take a shower there isnt enough pressure in the tubes through the shower head for the water or there isnt enough hot water , the table tennis "rackets...

The hotel is good, but the room is not cleaned, only the garbage is taken out. And so all is well

Great animation team, clean room and pool, quite good food but not so varied. More like a 3*+ hotel.

The hotel is located in Golden Sands, cool like this place, next to a lot of clubs. To the sea about 500 meters, great pool with comfortable sun beds in the nearby Double Tree, you can use it. Eating delicious, monotonous. Overall, a good hotel

The hotel needs urgently a renewal. Regarding the food: you get what you have paid. Hotel Pliska offers good prices, in consequence the quality of the food and drinks is low. The receptionist of today was friendly and professional. Would I come again? Currently not, first they need to renew all rooms.

We were staying in Pliska hotel for one week.We didnt expect luxury and the best confort in the world,because with the money you pay,you can not expect that.The rooms are not perfect,but the food was great,very tasty,the facilities of the hotel are more than ok,sauna,jacuzzi,indoor pool and outdoor pool.The room was cleaned every day.So for those who left a bad review,you should pay more if you want...

Quite basic hotel but tot bad. Not far from beach. You can do several activities. Next time I will probably go for another hotel.

Wonderful hotel! Unique atmosphere! My advice is if you want to get an amazing experience you should go and visit. You won't regret!

Must to visit one of the oldest places in Bulgaria!

Nice hotel . Constantly we went to last time we made a comment that I want 3 glasses of whiskey at the same time! The hotel is not something special . Everything old - from the Communist time.The pool was not in very good condition, like a Jacuzzi-the ceiling above them, is rotten and you think that at any time will fall. Comparison of price - quality , super!

It was a lovely stay we had at this place. Varied lunch and dinner, 4 pools to chose from, close proximity to the beach (though you will go up and down some stairs). Beautiful views. We especially enjoyed the animators of the hotel, the girls were so funny and bringing a good mood everywhere. So many thanks to Vicky, Mia and Gabi for all the heart they put into their work!

Our kids loved it, we partly too, but our Apartment had old furniture, awful smelling bathrooms and not so clean looking stained towels although they must have been washed I assume. Friendly staff, we got all the help needed, basket full of fruit as welcome gift and a good price for 10 days there end of May/beginning of June.

It's an awesome place with very kind people. Food is great and always fresh. They come to clean the rooms whenever you want and overall is a great place for its price.

Very comfortable environment.Good rooms,good food and very important,nice people! The 2 boys from Animation Programme,Bobi and Ilko made me and my friends feel better,with multiple activities like music,volleyball,dancing and much more. It was a pleasant and joyful atmosphere!

The place was amazing. The food was very good. We had everyday animation for the children and grown ups. The location is 5 minutes away from the beach,but it was so interesting in the hotel that we went to the beach maybe twice. There are 2 bars open at all times untill 11pm and another one that is opening during lunch and dinner. Everything was amazing.

We had a fantastic time. The location was perfect, 5 minute walk to the beach and shops. The rooms were a decent size but the beds were uncomfortable. Food was average but you can't complain when you're all inclusive. The animation team made our holiday they made sure everyone was entertained a big thanks to Nicky, Bobi, Yoni and Dani who were absolutely amazing, we loved joining in the games.

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...

We had a fantastic 3 days ,the staff were fantastic, most spoke very good English which always makes a huge difference, worst thing was the hill to get to hotel, 1s we found the side gate took half the walk up off ,so made a huge difference thank you for your hospitality

The receptionist Anton is verry nice and warm, the bartender in the lobby bar has the best cocktails in the entire world and everything in the hotel is the best

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

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

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. 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. The beds were very comfortable and clean, the cleaner did a good...

It is a nice place, the staff is great, but I rated 3* because you can feel the management's cut down of costs strategy in the services provided. The food and beverages were cheap, not so great, so even if our stay was all inclusive, we had to go out for drinks. On the beach you don't get any free drinks and the hotel bar closes at 11 PM. There is a bar somewhere in the basement that is open until...

"+" good and various food, nice and big room, very nice and clean private beach; "-" at the bathroom the water pressure was very low on the upper floors, în certain intervals the hot water was missing, there were bathtubs instead of showers (and not a modern ones), the towels smelled bad, the refrigerator did not cool well, a part of fake ceiling fell in the middle of the night because of air conditional...

Great value, for the price we had a nice big room, all inclusive food including the choice to go to tbhe hotel's 3 restaurant (Italian, Asian and Bulgarian) and the animators are very kind. Every evening we have a show as well. A family friendly hotel and well located, not too fqr from the beach. We are also offered to go to another private beach plus waterpark as part of the group Grifid's hotels

There's no point on highlighting everyone already said regarding the food and rooms. All good. But: - inside the apartments, the main room cannot be locked. If you have kids and looking for some privacy is kind of difficult to find it. - ⁠the beach sunbeds are insufficient. Although the hotel's policy is "no reservation for sunbeds", if you want one, you must wake up early in the morning and put your...

This hotel is pretty great. The only odd thing about it is that its split by a long hallway, so you can get booked on either side and have to orientate yourself to reach various restaurants and locations. The food is diverse, the room is very nice. The staff always replaces the towels im the room even if you don't want it replaced. I would like more visible indicators in hallways about where what...

The rooms were pretty nice. Mattress was pretty soft. Multiple different pillows were stored in the closet. The rooms have ac which sadly turns of when you open the balcony door. sadly you could only connect an HDMI cable on one of the TVs. The rooms are pretty dark except for the one right next to the window. Service was pretty good for the most part. My two absolute favourites were Kami and Mikhail...

Over all the experience was a 4.5 out of 5, staff mostly friendly and helpful. The all inclusive package is a good value but you should watch for extras such as wine at some of the restaurants that are not included. All of the spa facilities are paid extras, Food options are plenty with a main buffet that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Several book in advance restaurants, with some included...

Where to start, this hotel is a blast. Soon we found out that the Grifid chain is one of the biggest and most modern in the area offering the best services. The complex offers also an adults only area on the 12th floor with an infinity pool! What a view! Location of the hotel is perfect right in front of the sea. Both the beach and the pools have sun beds reserved for the hotel guests and with a bar...

Very good and varied food with restaurants a la carte! Clean and nice hotel, kind and friendly staff, well kept area, wide beach. Our stay was better than we expected. Good value for money. The only thing to upgrade in my opinion is to organize some courses for bar tenders how to prepare drinks however they were kind and try to do their best. Generally staff it’s the strongest point of this hotel....

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.

Excellent stay!

Good place

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...

Super experience. Good food, 3 different types of restaurants. The hotel is new and clean. Would go back any time. We just loved it. Its perfect for families and couples. Thank you Astoria Hotel!

My holiday was perfect! I really enjoy my time in this hotel with my friends. The food was great and the animation team was really entertaining and cool! My room was clean and nice. A really good thing in this hotel is that the personal is always nice, polite and funny, I had a great time with one of the bartenders (Simeon). I highly recommend this hotel!

Pro : clean room, very tasty and a variety of foods and desserts. Con : The drinks are watered down too much. Too many kids running around in the hotel, even in the dining room. Also some neighbours are very loud ( again, kids ), screaming, running along the hallway. Management should try to talk to the parents that this hotel is also for couples who only want to relax and enjoy the vacation.

Hotel is great, food and drinks are amazing too. A big plus here are Animators a young group of peapole who are making u entertemaint, they are great for kids and old ones. I love them all.

Pools kind of crowded, lots of kids. Restaurants, crowded, but passable, you sometimes need to wait in line like a minute. Usually more, for (passable) coffee. Definitely make reservations for the reservation-only restaurants. Spa massage was good. I will avoid this hotel in the future (because of food and drinks)

Overall had a great stay. The food was good and abundant, the drinks were also fine and diverse, the room - averagely clean, but ok. Wasn't interested in animations and shows, but there were plenty. The location is very nice and the beach is really near. Thank you Astoria Mare for the good time.

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

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

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.

We booked 6 nights in Grifid Arabella hotel beginningof August 2023. This was our first stay and we were very pleased and happy from our vacation. The hotel is very clean and well maitained. We had a sea side room with great view to the beach and see. It was pleasure to drink afternoon cocktail on the balcony. The staff is friendly and helpfull all the time. Although it was a peak season and the hotel...

The overall stay was wonderful. The beach is really close. The food in all-inclusive is beautifully served and delicious. The staff is always nice and helpful. The alcohol drinks are decent, not that good, but not bad either. Room service ladies are always nice and cleaned up really well. There are many kids and French people, but it is not that disruptive, you will learn to live with them. The animators...

The hotel was really beautiful and clean and had a lot of different foods, I loved the breakfast. Very clean pool and a wide variety of drinks. The behavior of the hotel staff was somewhat kind, but in general, Bulgarian people are not friendly at all.

The overall experience was great. The hotel is located away from noise, the music played outside and at the restaurant area was great, staff is friendly, food was pretty good and there was also a vast type of different food. The pool was very clean and clear, a little small, but I was on september and there weren't a lot of people in that area.

Great hotel overall, wouldn’t recommend to people with walking disabilities. The hotel is on the hill, walking to the beach could be hard. The staff was amazing, especially barmen Stanislav, he made sure we had fun. Rooms are spacious with gigantic balcony. Overall hotel is amazing, great price and quality value.

The hotel was nice, the rooms spacious and clean, and the balcony we had with our room was pretty big, although it was not fully delimited from the neighboring balconies. The beds were comfortable and I believe that after two days the room keepers came in to change the sheets. We also had extra pillows, towels and blankets in the room, which was a bonus. The bathroom had a tub, which I wasn't a big...

Exceptional experience! I think it is the best quality price ratio I’ve met in my life. The cleanliness is speechless: the rooms, the pool area, the tables, the restaurant. Loved it! The food is amazing! It is very tasty (even the morning sausages were great - this almost never happens at an all inclusive 😁). There is a really comforting walk to the beach (10-15min), no reason to blame the distance...

Nice place, looks freshly updated. All the staff were very nice courteous, fun and smiling. Most spoke decent Russian and English. Probably other languages as well but I can’t vouch. Food was amazing for the price. Great beer and coffee machines. Stanislav is a great bartender. Kids area was also useful for 6 and 8 year olds. Close walk to the beach, probably 10 mins if you have kids that are slow...

Very good facilities. Very long way to reach the center because of the missing door in the fence.

Great hotel. The sea is just in front it. It was part of an old communist resort, so there is a good planning, a lot of space between the different hotels and a great park with big trees and rare plants. Next to Nympha hotel is Imperial Hotel. During the socialist times it was called House No 7 and some of the leaders of the foreign communist parties such as Alvaro Cunhal and as long as I can remember...

PROs: I think it is the most well located beachfront hotel in the Golden Sands - from the sea-view rooms you literally hear and see the sea at a maximum of 10m from the hotel building. Good size rooms, clean linings, good cosmetics. Very friendly and helpful staff. Always can find a parking slot nearby the hotel or on the territory of the Riviera Resort. Very good price/quality ratio. Not far from...

Nice hotel at the beach. Good value for money. Food is OK - not much but well cooked. There are some minor annoyances but there are manageable

Nice, clean, not crowded, right on the beach. Good food, drinks not so, nice staff. The resort has potential but it was not entirely functional. There are few areas available for walking inside the complex, some nice alleys with shade. The pool at Riviera hotel is ok. Next to the hotel is the bazar where the tourists can buy cheap clothes/ shoes (most likely fakes).

Hotel "Nymph" - above all praise!! Clean, comfortable, the sea is nearby, the food is top class!!! Quiet, relaxing holiday!

The stay here was very pleasant. Pluses: - The stuff was very responsive and served us quick. They made sure that everything was clean. - During every meal serving, the stuff made sure to clean the finished plates. - the stuff from reception helped us with every question we had. - most of the stuff knew English very well. - in the menu, there was healthy food choices. - we received an apartment...

Perfect for a family vacation !!! New, clean, quiet, with underground parking, swimming pool and a sea view of grade 10. Quality furniture, impeccable cleanliness, serious anti-Covid measures, very discreet staff. Various dishes, well cooked, quality and served with great kindness. Very good!

Nice people, big pool, one for kids one for adults. Really big rooms with AC ❤️ I love it. The food obviously isn't so good like at every other hotel with breakfast, but you can still find something to eat. I saw some mold on the cupcakes...dissapointed but whatever. Don't eat cupcakes. It's kind of stupid that you have to pay 5 leva/person for wifi, but they have free wifi in lobby. I will definitely...

They make proper cocktails! Lovely hotel with friendly staff.

Great place for holiday

Double tree is a good hotel with nice and respectful staff which they help and guide you if you have any question. They have their own beach wich free shuttle is available.you can use both swimming pool and also they have indoor pool. Our room had jungle view which was awesome.it was clean and they daily room service.We had wonderful moments

For a budget holiday it did everything it said on the tin. FOOD: The food was ok, always plenty of food, although sometimes you did have to queue for fresh food on the grill. But freshly cooked meat, omlettes and pancakes were great. The quality of food did vary throughout our stay, but as a young non-fussy couple we always found plenty to eat. Limited choice of 5 cocktails, nothing fancy but good...

I really liked our stay in Orchidea. The staff was super helpful, friendly, nice and well-mannered. The food was diverse and delicious. There was a small problem with the air-conditioning system for a couple of days, but they managed to fix it rather quickly. Also I would recommend investing in an outside children's corner. Otherwise everything was pretty good.

Overall it was good. 》Food - every day different meals - plenty of choice - desserts and fruits - tasted good 》Room - stains on sheets and towels - the table wasn't cleaned (sticky from previous guests) - bathroom was huge with shower booth and bathtub, also clean .. although we found one cockroach.. which the janitor didn't clean/take - big balcony with a nice view - big bed, spacious room 》Staff...

The interior is gorgeous. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Overall I enjoyed my stay. So now here are some things to be aware of :) The hotel is not so close to the beach. There is a free shuttle bus every hour from 10 to 16 to the beach which is great, however I would like it to be at least till 21. Also the gym was small and with broken and old machines.

The surprise of the hotel are the amazing physiotherapists (tried 2 of 3). Rooms are clean, interior is poorly though. Restaurant offers monotonous variety of food - same breakfast possibilities 6 days in a row. I found mould on a bread, which speaks about the general quality of the food. Staff at reception desk is inexperienced and unqualified. We needed a document printed out and sent by fax - couldn...

I recently stayed at Hotel Elena in Golden Sands, and overall, it was a pleasant experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always willing to assist with any requests. However, I found that the cleanliness of the room could have been improved. As this hotel offers an all-inclusive service, the food was quite good, with a variety of options available that catered to different tastes...

Had a really nice time here .the animation team did a good job with the entertainment they could put on although it was limited compared to other hotels

Food is awful and repetitive but you get what you pay for. This hotel was overcrowded and no room at the poll and long time to wait for food 😞

Ok.

Top spa

Very pleasant place to stay @ Golden Sands. Buffet has a lot of different dishes to choose from. Kids are very welcome with special amusement programs by the outside pool - dancing, playing. Wellness center is also a nice option for a physiotherapy or a massage. All in all an excellent place for a holiday.

Nu am plecat cu așteptări foarte mari dar am fost placut impresioanata! Check in ul s-a făcut la ora 14 exact cum a fost menționat in rezervare si chiar dacă am ajuns mai devreme, ne a fost permis accesul la piscina! Personalul foarte amabil, condiții bune la un preț avantajos. Bravo! Recomand!

We are very satisfied! The food is very tasty, the rooms are clean, the yard is big and there is a playground, the water in the pool is not cold. We have visited the hotel three years in a row and will visit again!

We are very satisfied with the hotel. Very kind and polite staff. At the reception, the staff served us very quickly, no problems with check-in. The manager was constantly everywhere, watching everything. It was super. And the quotes Tatiana, Iliana and Maggie immediately became friends of my 6-year-old daughter Vicky. Just great girls. The food was varied and delicious, the pool was cleaned every...

Good services for cheap prices. Very helpful and kind waiters and reception. Has rooms with sea view. Bathroom could use a shower curtain, otherwise it's ok.

Miro is great !!!

Perfect for family and children

Okay

Good place for students
