Detailed Reviews
The hotel can improve many of its aspects. It does not have a beach area with sunbeds. It does not have an area to wash off the sand you come with from the beach. The apartment where we stayed has an old sofa with a metal support, on which you cannot sit for a long time. We were satisfied with the work of the housekeepers on the floor. The room was always clean. The lobby bar is unsightly, the sofas are old and broken, the tables are always dirty. Drinks are served in plastic cups. You must request a coffee cup or glass. The crowding that takes place at the service is unpleasant. The pool has a bar, but here all drinks are served in plastic cups, therefore you cannot serve a coffee, only if you want to drink microplastic. The cleaning part of the pool can still be worked on. The hotel is deficient on this side, of cleanliness. The windows at the entrance are always dirty. The weakest point of the hotel is the restaurant. The food is the same every day, and 90% is prepared from frozen or canned food. The tablecloths are unironed, unkempt appearance. You can drink quality coffee only in the morning, from a single machine, and here the congestion is very high.

Staff barely speaks both English and Russian, almost all high school kids, don’t treat customers with respect and are not helpful, except a few older employees. In 3 room apartment we got a 1 extra “fake” bed that got broken at night when one of my family member was sleeping. Queues everywhere. Bar closes at 10pm. Food is cooked like I was cooking when I was in 1st year in university. You can’t even get yourself water because apparently there is a person to press a button for you. Very easy to get corona in a country overal I believe because no mask requirement. Other things were better but bad things might weight more;)

A hotel of 50/50 opinion.
But i wont choose it again.
The reception staff is kind. No objection.
No free parking at the hotel and even so it is small and we had to search to park in other place. Every parking lot is of 20leva/day. If you park somewhere outside a parking lot, wont pass several minutes and your car will be evacuated, 50eu and you can have your car back)) so dont risk.
The pool, didnt like it. The water is clean but the rest is dirty and old.
The hotel is really old fashioned, good rooms are those that look at the beach and pool. Be sure when you make reservation so the room is with balcony.
The restaurant: it is mentioned that is 3 star (even the hotel is 4star) but i could give only 2 stars here. I am not a picky person but i never saw such a dirty restaurant. Always food on the floor and nobody cleans it, the tables dirty and sticky. The plates are dirty, the food is not tasty at all, i could eat only that dish that cant be messed up))) eggs, spagetti)) in the morning is totally everything the same, only the sweets are changing sometimes. From fruits in the morning: oranges and grapefruits. Evening: plums, peach, once grapes. From meat i could eat only chicken. So the restaurant per general is awful. Sorry but thats true.
The room was ok. Nothing special.
The only good thing of this hotel is the location, first line, not in the center where is very noisy but in 5min you can walk to the center.

We are staying at the hotel at the moment and it is the worst hotel we have ever stayed at first we were charged an extra £60 to move room they gave us a room overlooking a road when we should have had a garden view room. After moving one day the key on the door did not work had to get it fixed, then shower head was broken had to get that replaced, .
The food at mealtime is discussting, we have had to eat out most of the time, even the staff who are supposed to clean tables just stand around most of the time.
Now we are facing late night revellers coming in early hours of the morning.
My advice if you are looking for a nice holiday try another hotel. Can’t wait to go home

The staff were horrible, they had a sign in the restaurant saying it closed at 22:00, but one night while we where there, we arrived at the restaurant at 21:45 expecting it to be open but turns out they were packing up all the food, we didn't like the food but only wanted a snack (pancakes and bread).
Another restaurant staff was texting his mate and eating all the sausages and eggs, helping himself Infront of customers
It's supposed to have free Wi-Fi but there's actually little blind spots around the room, like the toilet, and the living room.
The restaurant manager followed me around the restaurant because I had some orange juice in my hand (it was supposed to be 3 lev.) So when I got back to my table my mum gave it back (like she can even pour it back into the machine). Who even pays for juice, that's crazy.
The pool next to the hotel was cool I liked it.
Do NOT go here.

Second time in this hotel. Compared to 2022, the hotel has noticeably started to save on everything. There is no animation at all - but I don't need it anyway. The pool bar doesn't work at all, there was a girl sitting in the lobby bar apologizing for saying she couldn't make cocktails. That's why you don't have to buy everything. We bought breakfast dinner.
settlement with some bodun at 15, the pool was open from 9 to 17, what during that time? the lifeguard by the pool does not watch at all, people have umbrellas, tramps as they stand, are they broken...and the cherry on the cake: the hotel turned off the fridges to everyone and said that they are not in the hotel description, there is a bar. I mean, there's a fridge in the room, it's warm, and they put a bottle of beer and water in it, warm, for the price of the restaurant.
On the plus side: the rooms are good, the plumbing is fine, the air conditioning works, there is a laundry dryer on the balcony.
Main and huge plus of the hotel: located RIGHT by the shore, no steep stairs uphill. Stomps with umbrellas on the beach well kopec is so expensive, so you lie on the stomp by the pool, get up, go to the sea, float and back. It's very convenient. And it's quiet enough in the evenings because the hotel has a promenade edge. We rested very well. I recommend

If you're gonna get a seat at the pool, you must be there before 7:00 or you can forget about it. We had and all inclusive and thought there we saved money. The result was we had to go to the beach outside the day we got up before 07:00.. but all inclusive with drinks and stuff was bad. Do not come before 10:30 and was an hour. Then he disappeared for an hour, it stood back in 5.. and so continued the day. Drn one night I ordered beer at 20:00 I was informed that it was empty., was 600 guests here.... 🙂 so you will not be frustrated do not order all inclusive

Food was cold and repetitive and unimaginative.
We found bread / rolls mouldy twice in the week we were there and we were on half board so we had staff management follow us to make sure we had no more than water to drink with our meals.
We often had to report to staff that food dishes were empty and needed topping up,
Young guy cooking the fried eggs etc was eating the sausages while serving us ...the rest of the staff walked around like zombies or on the phone , there was no customer service what so ever.
The rooms and beds were of a good size and comfortable, but like the rest of the hotel it was very dated.
The area as a whole is very dated and of need of an overhaul.
The strip that runs outside ( shops and restaurants etc ) are allso poor and in disrepair , staff walk around watching you like you're shop lifters and again most , but not all need lessons in customer services.
There were a few pleasant people, including customers but they were few and far between.
In summary.
If you just want somewhere to put your head, not a fussy eater and just want to enjoy the wonderful beach , sea and weather then you will be very happy there.
Would I recommend it or go back, definitely not

Hotel located in perfect point of Golden Sands - near the beach, far from most crowded and noisy part of promenade but still offering many shops and other attractions.
But location is their main strong point. Then starts to be only worse.
Personel friendly and helpful. In general speaking English, but not in 100%.
Rooms are some kind of time travel machine. We landed in early 90s. Clean but really need renovation.
Swimming pool clean, but small and crowded.
But the worst is their so-called restaurant. Finding there something that can be eaten requires huge effort.
To sum up - if you plan to spend all day on a beach and need only bed close to sea - this hotel is really OK. But if you expect more you can be disappointed.

The hotel is not the bst hotel but it is in a very good spot you can walk across the road through the bar opposite and you are on the beach you are only a short walk along the. Front and you are in the centre of golden sands it's a good spot that's why I go to this hotel. Pool beach pool beach walk over to a restaurant for lunch supermarket next door
I myself would not stay all in. I go B&B only it's cheap to eat out I am going again this year to this hotel I don't go here because the hotel is anything special it's ok but it is in a good place
the hotel has a children's pool attached to the main pool you are just across the road from the beach there are steps going up to the hotel you will need to carry any pushchairs up or walk around to the other side of the hotel
the resort its self has many things for children to do but most children's rides ect don't really start until it gets cool in the evening we have been with small children in the day its mostly pool and sea and beach and rides ect in the evening restaurants are all child friendly
Yes there was in our room, I have to say not very powerful though
"1. No free parking. 20leva/day 2. Be prepared for a very bad food 3. If you have HB, at dinner no water/juice or coffee, only for AI."Read full review
