Just got back from 10 days in sunny Bulgaria staying at the Helios Bay hotel. Firstly the flight times to and from Bulgaria are just awful, we flew from Gatwick at 9.35pm , we didn't actually arrive at the hotel until 5am Bulgarian time, they are 2 hours ahead. The room was adequate with a good view, there was a... more

We have just returned after staying 2 weeks at this hotel. It is the tenth Riu hotel that we have stayed in throughout the world, and for some reason it is the worst.

A great place for unwinding and relaxing , the food and drink was excellent in the Hotel and staff were very accomodating. Obzor is a small Eastern Block town but is quiet and friendly. Go soon before the Sunny Beach experience encroaches on this little gem more

We found the hotel excellent in terms of cleanliness and also quality of the food and overall experience of the hotel was good. The reason why we have put an average on the score is to warn other people thinking of going to obzor in september to... more

We started our holiday with a 6 hour delay from Manchester due to a technical problem in the fleet. Thomson kindly provided us with £5 meal voucher each, unfortunately you do struggle to find a hot evening meal for that price in Terminal 2. The coach ride took 1hr 15 min from the airport but we we're expecting this from... more
