Hotels on first line in Bulgaria

5min walk from the beach (I counted) and 5 min walk to the main, busy street. The hotel is a little outdated but super charming and it has everything you need. Breakfast buffet was good, rooms were good and clean

Beautiful hotel, minutes from the beach and the hustle that is Sunny Beach's party street with wonderful pool and even more wonderful staff

Our room satisfied our expectations. And the breakfast is very very nice. The hotel is near the beach🏖 and the it's very central to everything. I will recommend this hotel from the bottom of my heart ♥

A very nice hotel with a nice pool, and amazing staff. The manager and her staff goes the extra mile to satisfy all the customers. She's so friendly and serviceminded. The whole staff is very helpful

The pool area was quite and nice with a restaurant and a bar. No complaints 👌 but what took my heart was the staff. They were ALL really nice and helpful from the housekeepers to the manager

The drain in the shower was a bit clogged, probably from all the sand people drag inside from the beach, but the water went down anyways, just took a little longer. All in all a good experience!

If you’re a non smoker it can be unpleasant with smoking stations right by the doors so smoke is often blown in. Beach and beach cafe Lovely beach area with plenty of sunbeds and parasols

Great location, right next to the beach and most importantly excellent service. The animations team really made it a fun stay, even during the days with a bit worse weather

All of us from my group will remember Pavlin (Papi ＜3), Emo and Stan. The activities and games were super fun and it was fun talking to people

The pool bartender, Krystian and Ertan made excellent drinks (and told quite a few jokes as well :D ) Overall a stay to be remembered warmly!

There’s a zebra crossing here for safety as you have to cross the road. Having got there, the ‘promenade is a little disappointing as there are not sea views and of course my wheelchair can’t run on the beach

It may be that some of the closed places serve coffee and have seating but not this early in the season. We are staying at the Melia sunny beach hotel and this review is being written while we are staying there

The beach facilities were good too. The only downside for us was if you went down to the promenade for a walk after dinner in the evening there was nothing

​A hotel that didn't impress me. A few years ago, I had a better experience at the Melia in Sunny Beach. If I hadn't chosen the "Level" option, I think I would have left extremely disappointed

All the sun loungers are occupied with towels, but no one is on them until 11 AM. My only comforts were the garden at the Level (unfortunately, they have a small pool there) and the bar on the 8th floor

So perhaps people have been too quick to take staff not being fluent English speakers for rudeness, and have forgotten to consider they may just need a moment to get their heads around what you’re saying

I found the staff to be not just warm and friendly but one of the managers, Nina Neshkova, could not have been more kind and she made me feel cared for, truly impressive for a hotel of this size

This was a lovely hotel with friendly staff and good food. We have just returned from ten days here. The animation team were good fun and never missed an opportunity for a chat

Lovely location, we had to pay extra for a sea view( 15 leva perday) but so worth it. The rooms are big and good A/C, only little grimes we have are the shower floods the whole bathroom, no lip on the tray

Stayed at worst places, location right next to the beach, bars are right next to the hotel, if you're a light sleeper take some earplugs, rooms facing the sea are the ones affected, we were round the back Room was clean , shower was amusingly low !,bed was uncomfortable, sheets and linen clean, room was cleaned daily to a good standard, cleaner's were friendly and spoke

Amazing location, right on the strip at the beach, couldn't ask for anything more! Cleaners in every day, they work so hard. Staff really helpful.

Also door to balcony is in dire need of a service(my job) as it does nit close properly and sealing gasket missing from frame

We went all inclusive and the food was lovely, good variety of drinks and alcoholic drinks, everything is so close to the hotel, rooms are clean and staff are pleasant apart from the waiter in the bar by the pool, he has been abit nasty a couple of times because he couldn't understand me, I got upset and I think someone had a word, and the lobby toilet stinks thats the only things I have had a problem...

We had an absolutely fantastic time, Rooms cleaned everyday, staff were really helpful, asked for a kettle for our Room it was there within 10 minutes 😀

Perfect location 50 meters from the sea, friendly employees, music, water gymnastics, massage, gorgeous sea view, delicious traditional Bulgarian food !! Piano music is played in the evening

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

Reminds me of Cesar Palace in Vegas. Not a style that I would like to see at sea location. Original interior, but not for me. Pool is basically outside and is over shadowed by the building. No way I am ever staying here

Nice environment, very close to the beach!

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

They didn't even care that it was stolen, they didn't want to check cameras, nothing, they said we only keep a week on the day I left them, they said we'll keep it for you, and now they only keep it for a week, it was a small bag that didn't even take up space and the storage room was huge empty, no one helped, they just looked at me like what do you want at all In no hotel have I ever had things stolen...

The pools, the beach just steps away, the overall vibe… everything is designed for pure relaxation. A place where time stops, stress fades away, and you reconnect with yourself. This is more than just a hotel

We had a wonderful experience! The variety of food options was truly impressive—something new and delicious to try every day. Everything was well-prepared, and catered to different tastes. Highly recommended!

I’m really impressed with the ultra all-inclusive concept – there’s a great variety of food and drinks to choose from. The staff are polite, attentive, and always willing to help

I recently stayed at ClubHotel Miramar and had a very pleasant experience. The hotel was clean and well-maintained throughout, which made the stay comfortable and relaxing

The food was a true highlight — rich, diverse, and full of flavor, with something special for every taste. You can feel the care and passion behind every detail

Currently staying at Miramar for the Easter holidays and I’m pleasantly surprised. The hotel is exceptionally clean, and the rooms are both spacious and cosy

With 4 pools and brilliant slides, our kids are still having a blast after 4 days—they spend all their time in the water and haven't gotten bored yet! The slides are very safe, and the staff is wonderful

-There are a lot of trash around the pool and sunbeds, because people cannot keep clean. In Aqua park there are many people which are not guests of the hotel and this is very uncomfortable

Dirty wallpaper and curtains, dirt in the bathroom, in the bed stale was felt. Pools and sunbeds good, but it would be better to clean. Aquapark great for children, but without all inclusive

Last year, we stayed at Barceló, but I have to say, Kotva surpasses it in every way. Pool bar running from 12 till 18:00 with plenty of food variety. The rooms are lovely, and the food service is well-timed

The room was clean and comfortable, with everything we needed to relax. The pools and the waterslides were well maintained and fun for the kids. The meals were normal with a good variety for everyone

We are currently staying at the Kotva Hotel in Bulgaria, and we couldn't be more impressed! This is our second visit to Sunny Beach, and Kotva Hotel is definitely the winner

The beach was clean, with dark sand and a gentle entrance to the sea. Overall, we rate the stay very positively, it is definitely one of the best hotels in Bulgaria

A great selection of meals which caters for everyone. Only suggestions i would say is we would have loved a night for bulgarian food. The saunas and indoor pools are great. Recommend the mud pools just along from hotel

Great pizza! The children liked the slides by the pool, which were adequate for their age and looked new and safe. The staff was always cheerful, smiling, very helpful and nice

So the negatives (not really much the hotel could do) the internal pools could be turned up ever so slightly as the smaller pool was lovely but was absolutely rammed

Warm welcome from all the staff. Hotel is in middle of nowhere. But that not the hotels fault. The rooms were cleaned everyday and mini bars filled. There is a free shuttle to Pomorie which can be booked at desk

The Hotel and staff are absolutely fantastic, we’re currently staying in one of the family rooms. It’s 2 bedroom and the ‘adult’ bedroom has its own balcony, wardrobes and bathroom away from the ‘kids’

The hotel is very nice and modern. The room is very spacious and the design is very nice. The pools are clean and well maintained. Problems arise when it comes to the restaurant

I booked a room with a sea view, but they gave me a room with a side sea view, not a direct one 🫤

The Ensana Aquahouse is three years old. It has numerous pools with varying temperatures, both indoors and in the garden outside. The Cactus Beach restaurant is located on the beach

We had a wonderful stay at Ensana Aquahouse this summer. The hotel is beautiful, very clean, and perfectly located by the sea, with great facilities for families with children

What impressed us the most, however, was the attitude of the team. During our summer stay, we raised a concern, and the management took the time to listen, clarify, and handle everything in a very constructive way

This gave us great confidence in their professionalism and care for guests. That is why, when we wanted to return for a short break we did not hesitate to choose Aquahouse again. We felt even more welcome this time

All together, it is a very beautiful hotel for both old and young and whoever desires a good mix between shopping and going to the beach - this could be the perfect place for you!

Fantastic hotel. Great location. Friendly staff. Lush food. It was my second time and I will be back

We then did do the reserving beds, however we wouldn't if the rule was enforced as we would of queued up like we do when we have been to other places

however Animation team are fantastic, they go above & beyond to include everyone of all ages. They are friendly, fun & accommodating

Refusing to give towels, shouting at us in Bulgarian knowing we couldn't understand what they were saying, they would then talk to each other whilst we were still standing there refusing to leave until we were given towels

Sunbed wars happened daily, there is a rule about no towels being allowed to be on the beds until 10am but after our 3rd day we realised everyone was doing it and it became difficult to get a decent spot where we could see our children

The private beach was beautiful, my 5 year old loved the kids water park, although the water here and in the pools was rather cold! Rooms are a little basic and showing some minor signs of wear and tear, but nothing excessive

Absolutely fantastic, lovely, friendly staff, very clean room, plenty of space for sunbeds, food great. Couldn't fault anything apart from the later in September you go the evening entertainment is a bit poor.

Hotel is clean and close to the beach. The sea is calm, beach is sandy with shallow waters. The food is repetitive and if you a vegetarian then you will be eating pasta, pizza and chips everyday

One of the best hotels we have stayed in. Clean and tidy rooms, the water in the pool is clear. The food served in the hotel restaurant is delicious, every dish was very tasty, huge selection of different meals

The evening entertainment is almost non -existent unless you like a music quiz every night, probably one of the poorest entertainment i have ever seen. The sea view room is recommended as it has a great view

Lovely pools and a small water park. In all my stay was lovely thank you

Service was great with room cleaners and very good and helpful service in dining room. Sea is very close and pool is cool

Very close to the beach, really good service and pools are clean

I like everything about it. Good looking, but a bit small room's, there is a big and clean swimming pool and a bar. Also loved the food service. It even has a billiard table and table football.

When I stayed in this hotel in 2010 it was a five star and now it's a four star even then it wasn't that good the pool was cold and the food was horrible the rooms were dated but they were clean and the staff were friendly

Music or entertainment every night, the only bad thing about the holliday was, it poured down with rain one night and we had to watch the entertainment inside

what a great location, lovely hotel, l can’t fault it. Four of us stayed there a few years ago

We stayed Friday till Wednesday everything was spotless clean. Food was different every day and was really nice something for everyone. Staff are really friendly great service altogether

All in all it was absolutelv fantastic experience for our family and we would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who's thinking of visiting Bulgaria

Very nice and clean hotel. Staff are lovely and very welcoming. Good variety of food each day. Rado the manager was extremely helpful and approachable.

The pool areas are so clean and you can either go to the lively one with music or a quiet one round the back. We didn’t go to the evening entertainment because we could hear it from our balcony and it sounded amazing

Location of this hotel is brilliant, near to the beach and also supermarkets,small shops etc. Visited Nessebar whilst here it's about a 20 minutes walk and well worth a visit

We stayed at the imperial resort hotel in bulgaria, for 7 nights , my only regret is , i should of booked to stay longer , we were treated like royalty 👑, the management and staff were lovely, the range of food and drinks were fabulous, the hotel its self had a friendly atmosphere, and was very clean , we would definitely come back again to this beautiful country and fabulous hotel

The pools were great, cold, but you great for cooling you down. The hotel was in a great position, close to the action, but not too close. Plenty of bars and restaurants around if you wanted to eat out

In the morning we asked if we could move to a sea view room which they kindly obliged. The staff were friendly and helpful

All the staff at the pool bar were great, but Martina was an absolute star and nothing was too much trouble

Entertainment wasn’t the best, we spent more time out of the hotel on sunny beach strip, which was lovely but an extra cost to the holiday

Each evening was a different theme which was good and breakfast was also excellent with many options available. There was also a little cafe if you wanted a sweet afternoon snack

We arrived late at night due to a delay with our flight. The hotel had put on some sandwiches for the guests which was a lovely gesture

We made use of the indoor pool which was lovely, We were booked in till 1st October but hotel closed on 30th September So staff were surprised we were still there however we were looked after there was 12people left till late , We were there as the staff party was starting it was lovely to see them all coming in dressed up and I think it is a lovely thing for the company to do for them to be honest...

The themed dinner nights were a delightful surprise, each offering a unique culinary adventure. The staff deserves special mention

I was really looking forward to my visit little did I know that it shut down end of September, We arrived late and was greeted by a security guard who was nice, on reception was victor a lovely young man very helpful, as it was late we received a brown paper bag either some food in, bread bun, butter, apple, cake, croissant and bottle of water it was basic but enough, The room was on par with travel...

The room was spacious and clean. The pool was fantastic, and the animators organized fun contests, morning workouts, and water slides. And there was so much more! A paradise for both children and adults.

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)

Nice beach, fresh but cold outdoor pools. Wouldn't necessarily recommend for families with older teenagers, but families with small kids, absolutely. As long as you like to smoke or inhale other people's smoke

The beach has great sand and staff were very friendly. So overall a good place to go for families

The lobby bars cocktail and mocktail menu is a must try. Swimming pools, clean and a welcome cool down from the heat, add the fact the hotel is right on the beach and you're well away

What struck us the most was how clean and tidy the whole place was, the cleaning team are on the go all day, continuously sweeping up in the restaurants, cleaning loos, cleaning rooms and sweeping away sand throughout the day insideandout, then when guests are relaxing in the evening the soak away drains around the pools are being hosed down and the sun loungers are being wiped down

Sol Luna bay resort provided us with an amazing holiday and we would definitely recommend!! Where to start with this review?. couldn't fault it from start to finish. Reception staff were always welcoming and cheerful

salads, cold meats, cheeses, various cooked meats, vegetables, soup, many different fruits, breads, cereals, chips, pizza, desserts and more I'm bound to have forgotten. All cooked fresh and tasting delicious

The kids’ activities were fantastic—our child had so much fun and was entertained from morning to evening. A perfect combination of relaxation and fun for the whole family

No need to stay in line for a sunbed in the morning. The only thing that feels very negatively from my family's stay was the black sea. The sea was very brown and full of seaweed

This was not very inviting for swimming in the sea. Luckily the hotel had three large pools with nice temperature

Safety at the Pool: On the upper-floor pool, some boards were loose, creating a dangerous situation for children. I personally tripped multiple times

Will recommend for family's with kids up to 12 years of age. We went there in July 2025 and it was plenty of space by the pools, even if the restaurant area seemed full

Staff Attitude: Seasonal staff members did not always demonstrate politeness or professionalism, which impacted the overall guest experience

I fully understand that all-inclusive hotels deal with a high flow of tourists, but attention to quality and detail is essential, especially for loyal guests who return year after year

The territory is large, clean, good animation, the water park also pleased. The beach is not great, but the sea is clean, there was always enough space. There are several children's clubs on site

We have been to the hotel (section Mare; double room with two extra beds and sea view) for the second summer season in a row and we plan to go here again next year

My stay at Sol Nessebar Mare was great ,the amenities are well maintained, the staff that works here are very nice and welcoming, the animation team was wonderful, the staff in the restaurant was always nice especially Stefani she was wonderful! The pool areas, the slides, and common areas were well maintained (some may need a bit more attention in my opinion)

Accommodation and meals (all-inclusive in several restaurants and stands including ice cream, be sure to try them all) are appropriate for the price and are completely sufficient for a normal family vacation

The beach is just right near the hotel, during our stay it was clean, as was the sea (a little seaweed here and there), and the entrance to the sea is suitable for children (a lifeguard is present)

The only minor negative is that, unlike last season, the midnight snack served last year in the form of great sandwiches between 10:00 PM and 11:00 PM in the lobby bar was canceled this year - we couldn't find an adequate replacement and we don't know why these sandwiches were canceled (?) - but otherwise there was still more than enough very good food and drinks at the hotel

I recently visited this hotel with my family, I found the overall experience to be top notch, hotel Neptun offers an amazing food selection and is situated in the perfect location to fully enjoy Sunny Beach, the hotel and rooms were kept absolutely spotless and the staff were both kind and helpful to myself and my family, if you are looking for a fun relaxing all inclusive hotel I couldn't recommend...

Good hotel kept immaculately clean Nice food & drink selections Evening entertainment could be improved as only 2 outside acts in a week and one night nothing and the other 4 was the animation team Nice location & no problems getting sunbeds on beach or around pool

the pool bar staff were so obliging and there food was delicious the toasties and cakes are definitely some thing you should try we will be back going to book for next year but please can we have a double bed?

Shout out to the staff at the pool bar they are great, I loved the 2girls & man who served sandwiches & ice cream. The hotel is ideal for families rooms are spacious & cleaned daily

the sauna was great very private Which was nice we are over 75 the reception staff was great especially Krastyn he couldn’t do enough for you thanks once again Krastyn for your help. Had a lovely room cleaned every day

The hotel is spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and cared for with great attention to detail – from the rooms to all common areas. You can truly see the pride they take in keeping everything perfect

Aside from these the pool and beach are nice and big, and the actual hotel it's well maintained

With LEVEL bracelets you have access to everything in the hotel, including free Ice cream and a private pool and beds in the pool area which is very very nice. The food in the restaurant though is AWFUL

The hotel can acomodate a huge number of people, but there are not enough sunbeds, so you have to chase a place with a big chance to not finding one at 8 am in the morning

We stayed for 4 nights and at the dinner the food changed a bit every day: pasta, shrimps, fish, which was good. Now the bad things: Not enough sunbeds

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

Hotel Admiral in Golden Sands stands out with its central location and elegant atmosphere. Situated right on the beachfront, it’s a perfect choice for a seaside holiday
