Where to stay in Golden Sands

Prison food is served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Everything else is all right.

Spent two weeks here in June 2024. Our room was well presented overlooking the Black Sea with a large balcony. 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. Loud music, from a nearby venue was heard in our room, booming out until midnight. None of this the fault of the hotel. Situated...

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... oh, wait, surprise, they don't hold it for you!!! the rooms are ok, pretty big, most of them with a side view to the sea. the bathroom is pretty small. only the rooms down the corridor have nice, big bathrooms. the pool is very-very small, but you...

Top place and Top service ☀️☀️

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

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

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

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

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

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

The food was very repetitive over the course of a week and also the food did not taste very well. The hadd very few vegetarian alternatives, which resulted in some people almost only eating fries for the duration of the stay.

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...

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!

Great hotel. All very much!!!

This place is awesome! Its one of those hotels that make you wish just to stay close to it, and not to go anywhere else. The best place in the whole "Golden Sands" area!

The Best hotel Ever !

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

Very cool

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...

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...

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

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. 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. Good place on a good price!

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. The food is ok 'a la carte ' menu as usual when you choose all inclusive . The cleaning in the restaurant can be upgraded. Like price value compare I can say it worth it. I would recomend it.

3star for location, because I do not like the Golden sands, I just had an offer for a discount. No parking places for all clients and the Golden sands have a "salty" penal parking. BUT FOR A DAY, THERE IS PAY PARKING AND GREAT KIDS ATTRACTIONS BY THE ⛵🌊! I prefer St. Konstantin and Elena.

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.

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...

The rooms are big, they clean it everyday. Great view of the sea. Ghendo from the bar is the best. Some part of the staff from the restaurant aren't so polite, food is almost everyday the same and from the hotel to the beach you have around 120 steps.

The hotel rooms are pretty big and clean. They clean the room every day and change the towels.Food is delicious and variety. They have animation for the kids and the animation girls are very funny and full of energy. The animation staff also organized volleyball matches between tourist and that was perfect.

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.

Wonderful hotel, kind stuff, clean and comfrotable rooms, delicious food - perfect for holiday vacation!

Beautiful hotel, nice staff, quiet, peaceful location, not far from the beach, with clean pool, comfortable rooms and delicious food at the restaurant. Perfect place for families with children - kid's area and fun with the animation team.

Great place to be, comfy, I liked the atmosfere, the staff and the sea-view! Why not 5stars? Cheap build materials and furniture, cleanness 7.5/10, little amenities (only soap, shampoo and 2 towels for each ocupant... in a double room)

The food are good and there are plenty as well as a great variation. The service is competent and friendly. Will highly recommend this hotel to others both adults as well as families with children. Would love to revisit sometime ?

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

We were guests here 3 weeks ago, I'm gonna give it a 5 star for the dilligent people who worked very hard. There are some issues that need to be adressed in the future ( wifi signal is really bad, the restaurant is crowded, and sometimes you wouldn't find a free table) but these were small obstacles. We had a nice holiday, Thank you.

We were 4, 2 adults and 2 kids, aged 13 and 9. The vacation was great here, but there are some facts that the administration should change. 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. Another thing is that they allowed a group of tourists to play loud manele on their wifi speaker... That was...

We are second year here. 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. The food is nice and the rooms are clean overall. The pools are also clean and nice!

The hotel is good, but needs some renovation. The handrails on the street are wobbly. The tile is chipped. All this does not spoil the overall review. The staff is friendly. WiFi is perfect!!!! No problems even on the way to the hotel! Empty dishes are removed in a restaurant with lightning speed. The pool is clean. The rooms are large, clean, updated. There are 70-100 meters to the sea, you need to...

Wonderful hotel with great staff and delicious All Inclusive. We (familiy with 8 years old son) stayed for 3 days in June 2021 in Suite with Sea view. The room was spacious - a bedroom (extra large bed) and a liviing room with sofa bed. The view from the balcony at 8th floor was amazing - the sea is 50 meters from the hotel. The staff was very friendly and supportive. They helped us each time we needed...

Very nice hotel, huge and clean rooms, helpful staff, great amenities, good food. The only thing I didn't like about was that highchairs for the kids were not cleaned.

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.

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.

Great place strongly recommend. It is a pleasure to visit this hotel. Congratulation to all the stuff 🤗👍👍

Good food, comfortable rooms. The beach is pretty far from the hotel, a 20 min walk or 10 min trip with the shuttle bus. I recommend it for families or couples.

I give them 5 stars...no other comments. Everything was just perfect, thank you!

Great hotel, very clean and renovated. Nice pool, polite staff. Good, fresh food suitable for all diets and tastes.

A lovely experience, excellent service (cleaning, entertainment, food), great staff (extremely polite and eager to please). Overall a 5 star + vacation. Thank you! 🙏

We had a very nice holiday at this hotel, we are a family with two boys of one year and six year old, we spent 8 days in august, just the best holiday ever! Great value for money, lovely entertainment team, quiet place , very pleased with food and service, nice polite staff, they all speak english, secured parking as we went by car. I am definitely sure that we will go back again and I am sure that...

Animator Anna who worked in September top! A very nice girl, helpful and attracting people. I love it!

The hotel was ok for the money. The food was average. 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 for hotel's management, if you're reading this... I don't know why you're not...

I must edit My review beacause hotel really tried to fix something for us when asked politely. All is good for vegetarians but not for vegans. When asked vegan hotel politely bring us a vegan Milk straight to us and we even found a soymilk on breakfast today morning, Wow!. Well done. Thankyou alot!

The Hotel per se was really pretty. We liked the Hotel complex with the pool. We were 3 people staying there for a week. The room was big enough for us and was quiet comfy. The AC was great. Balcony and bathroom were more spacious than we thought. But the room was not clean when we arrived. What we also learned is that for the first three days our room wasn't cleaned. No new toilet paper and it was...

The food is average, you can find ok courses, but I didn't look forward to it very much so we came to eat here just for breakfast and dinner (even we had all inclusive). We fought the smell of cigarettes (around hotel, but also halls so attacking room as well), unfortunately it is not just the hotel but probably Bulgaria generally. Personal was nice and helpful. Btw it's not 350m, but at least 600m...

It looks medium class hotel. Food some days was good, some days very bad... Location a little bit far from beach, but its no problem, because hotel have van who can bring to the beach evry hour. We got good room, big and clean. I think you get evrything for this price, but I will not come here again, because I saw better hotels for this price in Golden sands

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 !

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.

It is a very nice place. Don't worry about the food, you have plenty of choices every day, for all the tastes.

My second summer holiday in MiraBelle hotel was amazing again! Very nice, helpful and kind staff, clean and bright room! The restaurant was clean, very delicious food and so many different choices! The animation was incredible! Thank you so much and see you again!

Beautiful hotel with a lovely pool, great rooms (sea-view from bed), very clean. Food offer is superb, huge variety at every meal - one of the best hotel breakfasts I've ever had! Staff couldn't be more helpful and attentive - particular mentions for the Manager and Ellie the Entertainer, thank you both! We'll be back - thanks again everyone!

Hotel Mirabelle is a wonderful place for everyone. As soon as I arrived, I was greeted by smiling people at the reception, the staff was great from the reception to the manager, bellboys waiters, the bartenders and especially the bartender Hristo, who managed to make different cocktails from the menu. The animators are great with a variety of problems. The food was solid, the rooms are nice, overall...

MiRaBelle was exceptional! Our family had the most amazing time here! Everything was clean, the rooms, the bathroom was great, with a walk-in shower, the pool was pristine and kept clean at all times. There are plenty of sunbeds out for everyone. There is a really nice lounge area with comfy sofas, armchairs, and air conditioning by the bar. The terrace with a pool view was a very nice touch. There...

Very Good Hotel, nice People and friendly

Best hotel with best animation 😳

Great hotel. Lovely staff. 5 minutes from the beach!

Very nice, not really 4 stars, but 3+. The pool is nice, execpting the music in the afternoons - manele and very cheap traditional romanian music, very loud, unpleasent for us ... The Sofia Hotel beach was also nice, the food ok, pizza was only with meat, but they have good vegetarian options.

Most of activities of hotel werent even avaliable. Only thing that was avaliable was one table for table tennis. Outside pool closes too soon. Animators and staff of hotel were nice and helpfull. Food was mediocre i dont recommend eating fish.

Good

Ok

I only give 3 stars for the front desk who was very friendly and helpful. But 1 star for the open buffet, wich is not that open 😒 i don t want a full plate, to eat like a peasent, but they put food on your plate like they give you from their children food. I m not allowed to take my own food, and the employees don t speak any other language but their own. The bar is closed very early, i can not stay...
