5 star hotels in Sveti Vlas

The hotel made a very positive impression on me. The entire complex is quite large, with a well-organized and clean inner courtyard. There are several pools and access to a sandy beach. The breakfast buffet was tasty, with a good variety of options (and delicious coffee!). The price of the stay and the view of the sea from the room were definitely a plus! The only downside was the transportation connection...

Lovely hotel. Apartments are great,cleaned every day,fresh towels daily. Most staff very pleasant but the supermarket staff are miserable. Reception staff and the hotel taxi drivers are great. Would recommend this hotel.

A beautiful setting with well tended and attractive gardens. The beach is excellent and not crowded. Family friendly but for a place that claims 5 stars they are are really 3.5. the tennis courts are just one as the other is converted to a five a side area for kids. The remaining court is a disgrace, covered in sand to the point that lines cannot be seen clearly, net at wrong height and when I booked...

As a single mum travelling with 2 children I found this hotel exceptionally good. We are staying for 3 weeks and have so far done 2. The rooms are fully equipped with all you need for a self catering holiday with a supermarket within the complex several restaurants and the beach is on our doorstep. Our favourite restaurant is the Italian and the beach front fish restaurant serving fresh fish daily...

Lovely place beautiful views it has 7 pools one indoor has a reasonably good gym. Scenery is amazing well kept flower gardens. Breakfast isn't that great but nice places in sunny beach for a decent meal...

Lovely spot, right on the beach. Once you get there you probably hardly will prefer other spot. Many restaurants in and the landscape is just pure masterpiece. I do recommend.

We just got back from a week at Grand Hotel Sveti Vlas, and it was honestly one of the best family holidays we've had! We traveled with our two small children (ages 4 and 6), and the hotel had everything we needed to keep everyone happy and relaxed. The biggest hit for the kids was definitely the Kids Club. It’s very well organized, clean, and full of games, crafts, and fun activities. There’s a wonderful...

An unforgettable vacation.The food the room the spa everything was great.The best fitness. Great location. We will come back again.

From the moment I arrived, everything was just perfect. The hotel itself is elegant and beautifully maintained, with stunning sea views and a relaxing atmosphere that makes it easy to unwind. The beach is just a few steps away, and the private area for hotel guests is a big bonus. If you’re looking for a peaceful and luxurious getaway on the Bulgarian coast, Grand Hotel Sveti Vlas is the place to be...

The rooms have a great sea view. Perfect service and a unique experience! We was in room with central from sea view - free minibar it been clean every day and staff was so friendly . We shall be back again

The rooms offer a stunning sea view, and the service was absolutely perfect. We stayed in a room with a central sea view – the minibar was free, everything was cleaned daily, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. One of the highlights was the food – there's always something available at the restaurant throughout the day, and every Saturday evening there's a live performer who entertains...

We just returned from a fantastic stay at Grand Hotel Sveti Vlas, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best seaside vacations we've had in Bulgaria. The hotel offers a great mix of luxury, comfort, and relaxation. The location is excellent – right by the sea with a beautiful beach just steps away. We enjoyed morning walks along the promenade and spent our afternoons lounging by the outdoor infinity...

Hotel is in a fantastic location even though it is quiet. On check in the reception staff were not very helpful as to where the room was etc and not very informative as to how to get to places etc outside of the hotel. The Nessebar ferry leaves from the hotels beach but none of the reception staff knew or would say how to get to the jetty or the price of it even though they advertise the ferry within...

This is the first holiday I’d booked to go away with my Mother for a few years and given the alleged “Ultra inclusive” status, we went ahead and booked. On arrival, we were met by unhelpful reception staff who stated we didn’t need an extra room key, but had given another Bulgarian couple 2 keys. We didn’t think much of it at the time. Room was basic, views lovely however. AC worked but the electrics...

The hotel is very far from everything. One positive thing is the great view of the sea. Unfortunately, there is no entertainment program or anything similar in the hotel. We also missed a German tour guide on site. This meant that there was no possibility of booking excursions. Unfortunately, I have to say that the food on offer was really abysmal. There was not much variety and the meat was dry and...

My partner and I loved it, our first time to Bulgaria and didn’t know what to expect? We got a private transfer from the airport to the hotel which is a must as the hotel is quite far out. If you’re looking for a chill out holiday this is it? Although it’s quite family orientated too so would suit both couples & families. We’ve found the staff were friendly and most if not all speak english. One thing...

Nice place, nice people but not the best food

Well, First to start is it a 5star hotel, but I'll give 4 because: - gym and spa center was charged (despite that initially in the offer was included in all-inclusive - I can comment on hygiene - Cutlery and crockery wasn't washed properly Otherwise - food and staff were amazing

Fabulous new hotel with great staff , and big shout out to entertainment team for kids , bar staff and of course the all important cleaners . Generally cant find any fault with all staff , even managed to get a smile out of the security guard on the front gate one day 😉👍 As it is a new ultra all inclusive hotel your always gonna get a few teething problems , not alot but a few .. But I would recommend...

Really nice and worth the money. Clean rooms, friendly staff and family friendly.

Very nice hotel. Very new & clean .

The best I visit in last couple of years.

Stayed in May first time here. The hotel, staff and food were exceptional couldn’t fault anything apart from The Preferred Club, it is a bit of a rip off. The Club lounge was ok but at one point we went in at night and the optics were empty it’s nothing great. Our minibar in our room did not fully stock premium spirits. You pay extra to get VIP service as such but it was a farce at the Preferred...

The hotel was excellent,staff were helpful and friendly.The choice of food was outstanding.The rooms were decorated tastefully with plenty of storage.There was a large pool and a with a swim up bar and easy access to the beach. The entertainment team were brilliant,great fun was had with the daytime activities which enabled us to meet some lovely people.Also the team ran the evening entertainment,we...

The best hotel I have ever stayed in!! We have had the most amazing time. We stayed for 2 weeks. On arrival we were greeted at reception, checked in and had our luggage taken upstairs to the 5th floor for us. The staff have all been extremely helpful and polite. If we needed to ask a question such as where is the bus stop or the free bus to the aqua park they were more than happy to help and even allowed...

My husband and I have recently returned from 2 wonderful weeks at Secrets Sunny Beach, we had a wonderful large suite on the 12th floor, which our fabulous maid kept spotlessly clean and provided fun novelty towel designs. Massive comfy bed and mini bar replenished daily. Our view was stunning. We choose the preferred club and had no complaints. I would say the club lounge was a little dark and maybe...

Returning for a second year, another fabulous stay here, we had a suite on the 13th floor, spectacular views over sunny Beach day and night. We stayed preferred, lots of people saying it’s not worth it but we like it. Huge choice of food again, something for everyone you won’t starve. Entertainment has hugely improved from last year. We found all the staff very friendly, Marie is the swim up pool lifeguard...

This Hotel is generally very good and met most of my expectations. It is very clean and the staff are very helpful. The pool and outside area is lovely and the beach is ok although very shelly. The is a small problem with seagulls divebombing the outside areas of the restuarant and the staff seem to be quick to shoo them away and clean up after them. The food is good in the general restaurant with...

This is a little gem with everything you'll need, including a beautifully appointed spa Austrian style steam house, an outstanding hamam and massage therapist, gym, and indoor pool. The rooms are immaculately kept, and the food is varied, creative and locally produced, and tables are laid with fresh linen - lovely! I could live on the soups and fresh bread alone! It has a laid-back vibe...

What an incredible hotel! From the moment we arrived, everything was spot on. The place was spotlessly clean, and the staff were some of the friendliest and most helpful I’ve ever come across. The buffet breakfast and evening meals had so much variety — there was something for everyone, and it was all delicious. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with plenty of space to relax. I also booked a...

Here last October and back again - returning to a hotel is a first for us in over 40 years. Hotel is elegantly built, sea view rooms large although as others point out getting in and out of bath/shower can be a challenge. Food is buffet with an amazing selection, particularly breakfast. It is about 2km from the centre, so quiet. As in our 80s we often take the bus opposite the sister hotel one way...

What a jewel within a crown! A fabulous hotel on so many levels! Service is top notch and the staff cannot do enough for you! Immaculately clean and the housekeeping team are friendly and professional. The main restaurant is buffet style with so many options and choices! The wine list is extensive and offers both local and international choices. I was a solo traveller and loved every minute! And felt...

1st time in Sunny Beach. Selected this hotel because of previous reviews and we were not disappointed. Half board. Great selection for both breakfast and dinner. Room was immaculate. View from balcony is exactly as pictured on hotel site. No outside noise at night. Pool was usually quiet and no music ( if thats what you like) and had a gentleman who was a lifeguard also. Gave great comfort as we have...

Second time to stay at this hotel. This is a first rate hotel at the quiet end of the resort. Facilities are excellent as is the food. Probably the rooms could do with updating. The best thing about the hotel is the access to the beach five steps from the entrance and superb quality. Sun beds for the hotel are free. You can stroll into the more busy part of the resort easily with plenty of food and...

This hotel was amazing the food was great and plenty of choice, staff were friendly and helpful although could smile more, rooms were lovely light and cheery and comfy. The area was lovely and we did some trips out which were fab even though it was the end of season, didn’t get to try out any of the outside pools but the indoor one was amazing.

The property is in good shape overall. Yet it feels like overstaying one’s welcome at a party. Everything is winding down. Beach chairs being carted off. Nowhere to sit outside unless you can stand being cooked in the scorching sun. There are umbrellas in the seating area during the summer months but they’d already been cleared away. The worst bit though: people smoke everywhere. Constantly. It’s disgusting...

The hotel is clean. The rooms are lovely but you are unable to control your own air conditioning. Three times we ran out of toilet roll. The food is reasonable. Choice is limited for a 4 star plus hotel. Does not cater for dietary requirements very well. Swimming pool is very small with limited sunbeds for the hotel size. It is totally impossible to get a sunbed unless you get up at 7am. You...

I LOVE IT HERE! Thanks to the animation team, I have had a wonderful stay here. Paris and Danya are the COOLEST people! They have shown so much enthusiasm for their hubs and have played games with me—not as a worker but as a friend. ☺️🥹🤗

It’s the second time I been to Bulgaria but not this hotel it is a lovely hotel staff are all friendly and helpful activity staff wonderful and try to get everyone to join in during the day Night time activities not great could do with some outside entertainment coming in for a bit off a change food was ok plenty variety I definitely go back to this hotel had a lovely holiday thank you everyone☀️

An absolutely beautiful place with the most friendly staff, delicious food, and daily entertainment! Special thanks to the most fabulous Animation Team (Dany, Lera, Misha, and Ari) and bartender dream team (Alim, Azamat, and Syimyk) who made our stay the best possible experience! I would HIGHLY recommend it to families, couples, and solo travellers alike. You won't regret it!

The location and view are great. I booked the all-inclusive but there is not much to use in the evening. The food served for dinner needs improvement.

I left my bag with new cosmetics in the belongings room. I asked to keep it for a few weeks. I asked if it was okay and nothing would happen to it. They told me not to worry. I returned to the hotel again for 3 nights. I went to get it and the bag was not there in the morning. I looked again. They didn't even care that it was stolen, they didn't want to check cameras, nothing, they said we only keep...

Fantastic hotel. Very welcoming and helpful staff. Cant wait to go back next year. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Nice environment, very close to the beach!

Perfect stay! Top location, friendly staff and nice entertainment. Strongly recommend!

Lovely place. Buffet is delicious. Beds could be a little a softer yet, staff is very helpful and welcoming.

Reading the reviews is a little shocking cos this is my second time here and I love this place. Let’s be completely real here people complaining about service and amount of restaurants etc but for the price you pay you get above and beyond what you will get anywhere in Europe. Not to mention the location and mountains and sea all around with clean air and beautiful settings. The rooms are huge . Food...

A nice stay! Pro - Large rooms, loved the food, free parking, wi-fi was good, pool & pool bar were nice. I recommend the frappe! Con - Most of the staff doesn’t speak English, we came off season and everything was kind of closed - only one restaurant open, beach looked abandoned Thank you Petar from the reception, he was very kind to us!

The hotel it self is really nice from the outside, the interior could have been a bit more simple as there is a lot of lighting or lamps in the room that I stayed in, however the bed and the room smelt of damp I couldn’t even stay in the room so I called the reception and they gave me a new apartment room which felt a bit more fresh and better duvets. The food so far we reallly like it, they have Turkish...

Very nice hotel (some dusting needed in some places) The room was very big and clean. Beautiful view of the sea from our room. Very good food every day. The spa was incredible👍

This is what a five star hotel should look like and be. Excellent rooms, excellent food, attentive staff. Tennis court, large indoor swimming pool, spa center, etc.

The most expensive and pretentious hotels on the southern black sea coast.

First holiday to Bulgaria Sunny Beach, stayed at the Barcelo Royal Beach, frome the start the staff have been welcoming we arrived late early hours check-in was fast was also given a courtesy food bag with sandwich fruit and water. We had a 1 bedroom apartment pool facing on the 5th floor we could also see the sea which was fab. The rooms are spacious and clean, maid service everyday. Food you have...

This is our favorite hotel in Sunny Beach and we have been there 17 times. The food was great. There was a wonderful selection of food to choose from. Unfortunately, the food was always cold, but it was delicious. Great thanks to Gabriela in the main restaurant. Always welcome us with her lovely smile, and service. The animation team were just fantastic. Maked sure that every guest, young and older...

This is my favorite hotel at the Black Sea coast and I’ve been there 5 times so far. The facilities are clean, the food is good, the pools are great, and the sea is nearby. There’s no more to wish for!

Excellent hotel. Fabulous pools. Food good. Very clean and well organised. Good security. Very safe family hotel. Will definitely be back

We have had a super stay at the hotel with our young family. The staff on reception are friendly and helpful. We were even able to have a late check out due to our late departure time which we much appreciated. Thanks to Todor and Dimitiaz. The rooms were cleaned well each day and towels were replaced. The food was great. There was a wonderful selection of food to choose from. The food could...

A fantastic family holiday. First time to Bulgaria and Sunny Beach but the whole experience was above my expectations. The next comment is from someone who normally shys away from interaction with other guests! The animation team were just fantastic, Gabi, Hris, Ali, Krisi and Lubo take a bow as requested by Royalty. They were always in great form and helped bridge the gap between holiday makers...

Fantastic hotel. Great location, really friendly and helpful staff. Large rooms finished to a high standard. Awesome pool with plenty space to relax outside. Absolutely faultless

Fantastic hotel. Great location, really friendly and helpful staff. Large rooms finished to a high standard. Awesome pool with plenty space to relax outside. Absolutely faultless

Very nice hotel, rooms are cleaned every day, tha staff is welcoming and friendly. Downside is that kitchen is not very well equiped. Also parking lots can be a problem.

I overall like the stay, it's pet friendly and relatively close to the beach. My room happens to have internet, and it's serving me just fine. The only negative side is that there's a lack of kitchen utensils - no pan, no knife, no pots.

everything is beautiful and very clean, thank you!

Hotel very close to the beach, clean pool, friendly staff and tasty breakfast. Awesome experience.

The room was clean, the staff was very nice and the towels were changed every day, the breakfast was tasty and the location is near to the beach.

Very nice hotel to stay! Large and cozy room, everyday cleaning, good and clean swimming pool. Friendly stuff. I recommend!

A great place, worth the money. Nice staff, especially the tall gentleman from reception. The room was big, the pool was clean, and they even brought a topper for the bed(they were 2 single beds). Distance to the beach is approximately 10 minutes, which is great, and a lot of non-stop supermarkets nearby.

Better than expected. They should focus more on details to deserve the displayed 5 stars hotel. The overall experience was good though. Pretty clean, large rooms, friendly and professional personel.

Great, the pool is very enjoyable, the atmosphere is mostly relaxed. The rooms are spacious. The beach is close, it’s far from the central part of Sunny Beach but there are still a lot of things in the area, it’s very close to Nessebar. The restaurant is closed but there is another one just next to the pool, as well as other restaurants around. Costa Coffee is close, on the way to the beach.

Room are clean, service's are great Location very close to th beach. I had the breackfast included and the only thing that bordered me was the fact that I found some fly in the cereals, which for a 5 start hotel is something inacceptable. Probably they were stored inappropriate. Great for the children, it's very clean and you can be sure the children are doing to stay healthy ☺️.They have high chair...

Fits description. Room was clean and prepared exactly at 14:00 - could be earlier, but it's a middle of the season and they're fully booked. Breakfast is ok, fresh and tasty. Beach is basically less than 5 minutes away of walking distance. Pool is clean, although sunbeds could be washed - guests are given hotel pool towels which does cover dirty part, but still. Other than that - super happy to pick...

Can't fault it! Beautiful hotel, staff were amazing. Tory the senior receptionist had a great sense of humour. Hotel was spotless, food was good and the pool was lovely. Would definitely return

My experience staying at The Galleon residence recently was outstanding. (7 days June 2025 ). From the moment I arrived, I was genuinely impressed. Being greeted with a bottle of complimentary Prosecco was such a lovely surprise—it really set the tone for what turned out to be a fantastic stay. The staff were outstanding— friendly, professional, and always willing to help. They made me feel truly...

Large comfortable rooms. Room cleaning every day. Delicious breakfasts. Large comfortable pool. 5 minutes walk to the sea. The restaurant in the hotel is wonderful. Very tasty. There is a lunch menu. The only thing I was not happy with was the staff in the restaurant. They were rude and did not want to serve anyone at all. It is very bad that with such an attitude towards customers they do everything...

We stayed in your hotel for 2 weeks in September. Very big, beautiful, clean room. Very polite, friendly staff. And, of course, very tasty food in the hotel restaurant. Viktor, Estonia

All in all a good experience. One big downside - it's a smokers paradise. The hotel should seriously consider smoking zones, or at least smoking free zones. It's impossible to try and enjoy the outsides without sitting in a cloud of smoke. Other than that an OK experience for the price. Clean public areas and restaurants. OK food, Italian resturante I would even go as fare as say it's good. Older room...

Maybe the best all-inclusive hotel at the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. There are so many kiosks in the garden where you can eat various and delicious food like paella, panini, burgers, fish and chips, etc. The sandy beach is lovely, there are many pools and the aquapark is open for a long time (3 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the afternoon, which is longer then in other similar hotels). The variety...

Went here for the first time in 2022 with some friends and met the love if my life here. Excepting our first child in October! The hotel is wonderful and so is the staff. Rooms are clean and spacious, beds are very comfortable and the water pressure of the shower is amazing. The food quality is good and always something good to eat around since there are food stand all over the place, its a connecting...

Wonderful stay in this Hotel. Everything was perfect. Staff is really nice. Perfect for children. Cleaning team made every single day a new surprise for my boy. Stoyan who holds the shop next to the pool was so friendly. I didn’t expect that much when I booked. And the location. Impossible to make a complain….

Clean and spacious throughout the hotel. Plenty of good quality food options in the main restaurant and in other parts of the resort. We found the staff to be friendly. The water park was well run and really good fun. The beach was also beautiful! If you needed anything else, there were shops (including a pharmacy) withing a 100m walk and a 15/20 minute walk to dome lovely restaurants in new Nessebar

HONEST REVIEW! NOT A 5 STAR! I have just got back from the Sol Nessebar Palace and am honestly so glad to be home. First of all the pools. They are far too deep, I am 5,7 and can just about touch the floor the water comes up to my neck so not ideal for little ones. The pools are also freezing cold the little ones don’t mind but as an adult wanting to get in it’s not pleasant. The food is terrible....

The complex is great. Only the corridors and the rooms need some renovation. Some rooms have improved, but there is a massive issue with the coffee service. 800 visitors are served only from two coffee makers and it takes 20-30 minutes for breakfast to get the coffee.

Everything great. Clean. Great restaurants with good food where you can pay by card. Nice pool and beach bar.

The receptionists are very unwilling to work. Security is poor. I saw several people who were not even staying at the hotel come in and use the pool without any problem. My room was very dirty. I had to clean it because I couldn't breathe properly due to the large amount of dust. The pool is very nice, but it has recently undergone renovations and it was not well done. My daughter cut her leg in the...

Seemingly a nice place, but had to change rooms several times. Feels worn out and with poor maintenance. The entertainers were good, but even they complained about the bad sound and acoustics. The food menu was better than anticipated after the initial hiccups, but the overall service needs improvement.

Top Resort! One and only All year around running resort in the region. Great Fitness&Spa and friendly&multilingual reception staff.

Very good hotel, however breakfasts are horrible especially for vegans and vegetarians. Breakfasts really are not 5 star hotel level but more like motel/hostel. Spa needs servicing on details like showers are not working partly, toilet seats are broken, needs some maintainance on details. Feels like its just been cleaned but not maintained.
