First of all, the friendly staff makes an impression! The hotel is clean, the common areas are constantly disinfected. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The food is great - a great variety of salads, pizza sector / pizzas are baked at the customer's request /, there is always fish / prepared in different ways /, as well as meat and vegetables. The hotel is far from the beach / 800m / but this provides great opportunities for walking. The beach is fantastic - big, wide, with fine sand! Near the hotel there is an aqua pack, which is available to guests. The internet is weak, almost non-existent in the rooms, very strong only in the lobby and common areas. Decaffeinated coffee was not available. I hope this mistake is corrected now.
Overall, the hotel is wonderful! Clean and safe place to relax with great food and water park! I highly recommend it! I will be back again with pleasure!

We stayed at PrimaSol Ralitsa Superior last week for 4 nights in the Deluxe building. The room was clean. The hotel location is verry good - not so far from the centre, 15min to the beach (walking), if you don't want to walk - there is a shuttle bus every 30minutes. The Aquaparkis in the inmmediate vicinity and the entrance for hotelguest is free.
The room was clean, well furnished. The food in the restaurant was fresh, verry tasty. The staff is smiling,kind and responsive.
We realy enjoyed our holiday in Ralitsa Superior - 100% recommend!!!

The travel agency sold us rooms with the name: Superior Sector K in this place. We didn't even think about the hell we were going to go through on our so-called vacation.
The hotel is classified 4 stars and it was explained to us that we actually booked economy/budget rooms. According to international standards, rooms of this type are, and I quote: "they have the same facilities as standard rooms, but they can be located on the ground floor or in disadvantaged areas of the hotel, with a smaller area and/or without a balcony."
We received rooms that could not even be classified as 2 stars, without refrigerator, hair dryer with a tiny bathroom, dirty, smelly, like we used to see in the 90s.
I noticed with amazement after 2 days that they did not come to clean, they only emptied the trash bin in the room without changing towels or using a mop.
Good, I understood that I booked and received economy and non-renovated rooms, but still I was in a 4-star complex, not in a student dormitory.
The services provided were supposed to be ultra all inclusive and we have a contract where it was stipulated that we would receive beach towels. When we got there they said we would have to pay 2 leva for the towel and every time we needed to change it+ a cash deposit
They argued that the policy changed as per new government regulations in Albena.
We said ok, we will abide by it but at the beach we spoke with another tourist that booked a standard room and received beach cards for towels for free!!!
We were lied to, treated as possible offenders for a difference of only 20 eur per room per night!
It is unacceptable for tourists to be treated with such distain and indifference and we will make this situation known on all possible forums!

I had been robbed. I cancelled my booking and they take the full amount of £850 of the reservation. I never saw that the cancellation fee is the full amount of the booking.
I just write to prevent this to happen to someone else.
Avoid them go to other hotels with no cancellation fee, who knows how many people lost their money without even visiting the hotel.

All inclusive was so worth it. Aqua park, pool and beach time was as expected. What I didn't know was that the restaurant was this ******* good! Food was actually super good quality and even had good juices made from real apple and cherry. Overall I have no complains from the hotel, only the latge amount of mosquitos. Animation team did a lot of entertainment for children and i saw many people with kids in front of the hotel before sundown. If you have been on vacations to other places you will begin to notice the small things that actually make a vacation good. Basically a 4☆ hotel cannot offer more. One of the most worth vacations I have had. I am now 5 kilos heavier and 10 times happier . I write this while my girlfriend and I remember our stay there.

To begin with the negative aspects, the room was not great. We stayed in Sector K, the poorer part of the complex. A small room, no fridge, no hairdrier. It has AC, also has a TV (that we did not turn on), a small balcony (enough for our needs, though). But we stayed very little time in the room, so did not actually count as negative.
The food was ok. New dishes every day (some grilled fish, grilled veggies, shells, shrimps, sushi, duck, grilled ribs) alongside regular stuff. Diversity of fruits (cheries, watermelons, melons, pears, apples, grapes, oranges, grapefruit, apricots).
A clean big pool. Star of the place - blossom linden. Lots of them, everywhere in the complex and in the waterpark. Lovely atmosphere.
The waterpark entrance free for hotel guests. 140 m away. A fair place to have a nice time with children. We aimed for the 120cm+ area. Not many choices, but fun, 4 slides and a lazy river. Not too crowded this time of year.
The hotel has a private beach, 900m of distance. A selfservice restaurant by the beach for the hotel guests.
A pool party on Friday night, a traditional show on the beach on Saturday night, a dance show on Sunday night. This being the entertainment during our stay.
Hope this helps.

The time we spent here was a true delight. Breakfast was tasty and filling, and the food in the restaurant exceeded our expectations with its rich flavors and variety. The delicious vegetarian and vegan options were also impressive and well-prepared. The pasta and pizza were extremely tasty, and the bar offered great cocktails and a cozy atmosphere. One of the highlights of our stay was the incredible pool party, which created unforgettable memories. The cleanliness of the hotel made us feel comfortable throughout our stay. This was a vacation we will remember with pleasure.

Hi,
Yes the kids will enjoy the aqua park for sure, and the free entrance that comes with the hotel is a great deal. You'd have to fork out 50-100 euros per day for entrance.
The drinks included in the package are ok, yes not great. The alcoholic ones are probably the same in most hotels in Albena. Ralitsa had fizzy drinks dispensers in all bars, Pepsi, Mirinda, Sprite.
Yes, of course you can buy better quality drinks, don't know the prices though, probably not very expensive; most/all cocktails must be paid, 4-6 lev each.
Take advantage of those tea bags, I saw they also had black and green Dallmayr ones.
Have fun!
The superior rooms in the main building are fine. We were in the annexe and sheets were not clean (blood) and it was grim.
The pool areas are nice - the children will like them. There is also a great aqua park next to the hotel.
The food is mostly ok, but is so crowded you can't always find a table free. It gets boring after a time.
The beach bar and restaurant is nothing special. It is quite a trek to get there and you have to negotiate uneven pavements for part of the way. The beach is ok, although packed with sunbeds.
There is nowhere to go outside the hotel and trips are expensive.
I personally wouldn't want to return, but you get what you pay for and it was cheap!
Breakfast is 7till 10 dinner is 12till 230 and evening is 6till 930
When I was there in June we never had a problem getting a sunbed regardless of the time of day.
