The photos you see on websites and booking are of the best rooms, but out of 5 rooms that my group had, all of them had either these issues, or bad sewer smell. I'll let the photos speak for themselves
Ivo the animator was an amazing entertaining Guy for his age. Although the hotel was pretty nice. It was close to the beach and I liked that alot
The towels were changed every day. Cleaning was carried out,but even we refused it. If you need additional shampunki , shower gels ,soap,the maid with no problems gave. The only negative in the room - no bed and safe
Friendly and helpful staff, tasty food with a lot of variety, nice pools, cozy room with comfortable bed mattress. Nice view too!
One recommendation: all rooms should have shower and not bath
Clean and modern rooms, we had a see view and a big balcony from which you could enjoy the view. Nice hotel staff and very delicious food. Really enjoyed the stay.
Lived on the 6th floor,room 629. Beautiful view from the balcony. The air conditioner is running. On TV, there are Russian channels. The room after repair,modern furniture,comfortable design
towels and toilet paper are changed daily, garbage is taken out, there are no bugs, not even mosquitoes
Good location, close to the sea. The food was really good dispite the previous reviews. Clean room, nice sea-view if you chose the sea-view room. As a minus was the missing wi-fi
The hotel was OK and the bar staff very good at there job and the receptionists all good and meria the night cleaner was very good at her job well done Pomorie Hotel staff
Overall a place where I can chose to stay again in the future
the location is excellent, the place itself is beautiful
The hotel is 4/5 for me, great for simple people. I went with my family, my husband and two children, they have the same impressions as me
Coffee and drinks are decent, the only complaint is perhaps the snack bar and its offer, which is monotonous. The swimming pool is excellent, a bit crowded, but wonderful fun for children

🌞 From seashore 1 min
artificial beach - 1.2 km
The hotel is just on the beach with enough sunbeds for everyone. The pool with two water slides is big enough and just next to the beach bar with all-day drinks and snacks
Room was comfortable wirh a sea view. The food was okay but breakfast quite lomited. Only the lobby bar served spirits which meant that you could. only get beer/wine and soft drinks at the pool beach
Overall, I can recommend this hotel because of its position, right on the beach. The view from the room and the balcony was amazing
I liked the comfy beds and sea view with fresh air and therefore no need for a/c (btw every room has a view of the sea). The best part is the cuisine. Very good choice of meals, salads, fruit and desserts
One of our best family holiday. Close to the airport, close to bus to the Varna city center and also to Zlate pisky. Yet, the location is much calmer and with relaxing atmosphere
The hotel is very centrally located, right on the seafront.
The food is varied and delicious.
The rooms are spacious and clean.
-10 sunbeds on the beach - huge con if you come for the sand and the sea
- gym - very old , not sure anyone worked out there during my stay
- for those minding exercising or climbing stairs: around 50 stair climb from the beach to the hotel
All in all pleasant experience with good food, had a good time with my friends
- housekeeping doing a very good job with daily cleaning and changing towels
- despite all the comments below that scared me before going there food was delicious - a lot of options from a bunch of salads, veggies, meats, barbecue for lunch and dinner with different meats daily, pancakes in the morning
- coffee - acceptable to good depending on what you choose on the machine
- pool with lots of chairs and shade from umbrellas and huge trees - 2 lifeguards during the day
- pool bar - nice staff, very good ice cream, good cookies during serving hours
-staff pretty young and helpful, did their job very well
- reception looks very nice with a lot of seats inside and outside on the terrace
- saw there...
The comments bellow from fellow Romanians with "only 2 types of soup", and "food different than in Romania" - you are not at your mother's house, but in Bulgaria - different country with different food ;)
Also the comments with "reusing food from the breakfast in the lunch meals" - what do you guys expect them to do , throw it away? that's what every restaurant ever does
Plenty of soda drinks, water, beer and wine. In the 4 days that I stayed some food repeated yes like french fries and salads but other cooked foods were different
Animation team is great!! We played darts and we laughed a lot! Everything is wonderful! Every service here is 10 out of 10. Thanks for a great family vacation!
My family and I chose this hotel to meet my parents, who flew in from California for their first visit to Bulgaria. The hotel is clean, well maintained, and has a welcoming atmosphere
This is my first time visiting Bulgaria, and we’re halfway through our two-week stay at Grifid Hotel Vistamar. So far, the experience has been comfortable and generally positive
We were warmly greeted by Johanna at reception, which set a nice tone for our stay. When booking, we were deciding between Vistamar and Encanto
Although Encanto offered a wider range of spa facilities, we opted for Vistamar because of its modern and inviting design
The pool is very small and insufficient for the hotel’s capacity—I am referring to both the indoor and outdoor pools. the food was okay and varied, but there were queues every time. I also believe it is too small
Stayed at ihotel for a week couldn't fault it at all hotel spotless room cleaning done every day staff lovely and very helpful entertainment with lucky was a good laugh never laughed so much food good was always large selection Location was good too 5 mins walk to beach
The wine on all inclusive is also of a very nice standard. Pool towels safe and kettle are all free. The pools are really cold but there is a heated pool inside with a lovely spa. Nothing is too much trouble for anyone
We were very pleased with our stay at iHotel. Sunny Beach itself is a worn-out concrete desert, but iHotel is truly an oasis. We particularly liked the lush courtyard. The restaurant balcony had a pleasant view
The location is perfect, very close to the beach and the main promenade. Overall, we had an amazing time here. Big thanks to the staff for making the stay so enjoyable
The hotel was very family-friendly and is located at the quieter end of Sunny Beach
We are currently staying at this hotel. ALL the staff are extremely friendly. The hotel is spotless and the food is really good considering it is all inclusive which often is not great but this hotel is really good
It was very fun and very good animators. Very good shows and I have been coming for a few years now and have been very pleased. The beach is very good and also drinks and food very tasty.
You don’t have to go to the Bulgarian one, it’s not much different from the main restaurant, the one with a buffet :) But I really liked the Asian and Mexican ones :) The beach is big, the sea is clean, we even saw dolphins
The activities were really fun and the animation team (Anishka, Cleo, Kathy, Simon and the whole team – sorry if I misspelt or missed anyone) were awesome, thanks a lot! The drinks at the bar had loads of variety and the water park staff were super friendly too – thanks for a great holiday!
Cleaning is thorough, the minibar is refilled daily. Some guests mention a lack of sunbeds in their reviews, but we never had a problem – there was always a free spot both by the pool and on the beach
From the range of activities everyone can choose something if they want to have some fun and get up from the sunbed :-) The animators radiate incredible energy and in my opinion they are the main treasure of Bolero
We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Bolero. You can also find clean rooms, nice pools and good food in other hotels, but here they add something extra – incredibly kind staff and well-prepared entertainment
The hotel is very clean, very close to the beach. The rooms are spacious but an aspect which needs improving is the cleaning. We asked to have the room cleaned but instead of doing it they simply changed the towels
The room needed vacuuming because there was sand everywhere. Another aspect was the hot water which was cold, although we were accommodated on the second floor. And another aspect-the breakfast was rich but cheap
Had a great rest!
The location is good, the beach is nearby!
The price-quality ratio was pleasing.
I recommend it to everyone who wants to have a peaceful rest on the seashore!
This hotel is large and in a great position, being so close to the beach and having a great view of the sea. However, that's as far as it goes
A great hotel with good food and comfortable rooms. We'll definitely come back here again. The bartender girl from Ukraine was very kind and pleasant, we didn’t even want to leave the bar. We’ll be back
There very very few options for vegetarian. And the parking was another aspect-few places for too many cars
The beach is lovely, and most of the time it felt like my husband and I had it all to ourselves. The only downside was that most of the staff seemed rather serious and rarely smiled
They were efficient and professional, but not very warm. The exception was a lovely lady at reception with long black hair — she was always friendly and smiling, which made a real difference
It’s worth noting that in the off-season, the whole resort feels a bit like a ghost town. Almost everything is closed, only one small shop was open (with quite high prices), and there were no buses running
-there are 3 main pools- providing facilities for kids and adults and also daily activities organised by the animation team Thank you Flamingo Grand team for the plea sent stay! We will be back
We stayed at the Flamingo Grand in Albena and were very impressed by how beautiful and spotless the hotel is. Everything was exceptionally clean and well maintained
The food was amazing — fresh, delicious, and with plenty of choice at every meal. At this time of year, the hotel was very quiet, which made our stay peaceful and relaxing
Best location, amazing breakfast options, very large rooms, impressive wellness area; the parking situation is a bit tricky - but the service is over all friendly! The staff is helpful and the mineral pools are a dream! Just on the black sea beach with amazing view in first row
Direct access to a gorgeous beach- pure heaven! The only slight criticism is , where I agree with some other peoples comments- it would be nice to have a tour desk or at least some info about sightseeing available
Indeed, we had booked and paid for our stay from October 13th to October 24th, 2025, but due to a sudden rise in my blood pressure, I was rushed to the hospital where an abnormal rise was found due to the sulfur contained in the hotel's thermal pool We presented the doctor's note noting the rise in pressure and accepted by the hotel
The resort hotels in this seaside city are right on the beach, which is very comfortable.
I am staying here now and I am shocked how inaccurate all negative reviews are , the hotel is gorgeous- great spa with many saunas and pools, fantastic medical procedures, close to shops, restaurants and only 15 minutes walk to the centre
Otherwise I truly recommend this hotel for those who want to spend relaxing quality time and improve their health
And speaking of the beach, the toilet there was absolutely horrifying — one of the worst parts of the entire hotel experience. It was dirty, neglected, and far below any acceptable standard
Our stay in the hotel was absolutely pleasant, this was the best vacation we had. While the hotel base is questionably 5 stars, we enjoyed such peaceful and quiet stay that all minor flaws were easily omitted
The room we stayed in was spacious and comfortable, it was cleaned every day by a very nice lady, who changed towels and sheets every day and made small surprises for our good mood
The beach is a beauty, clean sand and water, perfect view and location. We enjoyed the entertainment for children and adults, especially the dancers
The food was very tasty and while some of the items were the same every day, we always found something new to taste. The Bulgarian corner was especially good, with very tasty cooked traditional food
The beach was also quite neglected — the sand was dirty, and it clearly hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. Worst of all, the water closest to the hotel had a strong sewage-like smell

there is a variety of service for different budget, the therapist is good, there is always fresh towels available, the saunas were good
Spacious room, spectacular view, warm welcome, very nice SPA center and swimming pool with hot mineral water. Conference hall and options for a nice coffee break. You can easily visit the city of Varna during your stay
I have been here before and I had excellent time, so I decided to return. Although I was on my own, I didn’t feel alone , everybody was very welcome and I always had somebody that I can have a chat with
I used all-inclusive for breakfast lunch and dinner -food is absolutely outstanding. You could also have wine either white red or rosé or two different kinds of beer that was part of the all-inclusive
Perfect retreat, first line beach location, helpful staff 👌, balneo, and mineral water treatment, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, sauna, massage and spa facilities, etc. Definitely recommend 👌 !
Not only is the overall atmosphere nice but especially the pools and sauna overlooking g the sea make you feel truly relaxed. The outdoor pool wiyh mineral water was nice in the cold weather
On our first day here, we visited Azzuro, the restaurant next to our hotel, and were warmly welcomed by the sweetest, kindest, smiling lady
The best restaurant in Sunny Beach. Welcoming and friendly staff, they are actually happy to see you! Cocktails are always on happy hour two for one!!! Food is fresh and delicious! Can't wait to go back! Yummy!
Menu is similar to most In Sunny Beach, but the food and drinks/ cocktails are very good value and good quality. The cocktails and Irish coffees get stronger as you go
If I could I would rate this place 6 stars
We were only at the restaurant but it was so cheap I thought it would be terrible but it was so good it would worth 3* the price, The service was fast and the waitress was kind, the world needs more places like this
Amazing fish, fresh and well cooked!
Probably the most friendly restaurant in this area:) sincere and respectful people, great service! If will ever come again to Bulgaria, definitely visit Azurro Barbeque again!
I have stayed in many hotels in Sunny Beach and this hotel, was the most amazing value for money. It was clean, comfortable, and has good varied food and drinks. The staff were polite, welcoming and efficient
A great place for the family. As a 65+ solo traveller I have felt safe ,both around the location and the beach. September is very quiet here especially for a chill out holiday.
There were a few minor issues, like the mattresses not being the most comfortable and some inconvenience with the distance to the beach & the sometimes faulty elevators
It's very kid-friendly, with large pools, an aqua park, and playgrounds for the little ones. The beach bar was a nice touch too
Great hotel with 4 swimming pools. Delicious food and nice atmosphere (seafood dinner and every day pizza the best). Service in the restaurant and bartenders fast and very friendly
I will recommend this hotel to everyone
Plus:
- good and variated food
- clean rooms
- very nice and relaxing pools with mineral water
Minus:
No aquatic park available, although it appears in hotel promotion, the room was not like in pictures and without pillows and, not at least, this hotel is far away for its own status of "ultra-all inclusive"
This hotel provides great location the stuff always smiles and is friendly great kitchen.The hotel manager is very kind and polite person.Really nice location to stay.
Visible will be miserable mount,ventilation down the boxes from under products. One broken Elevator to wait for the lift-faster to walk up or down the most. I suggest a trip to the fair of fur and leather
Clean rooms, friendly staff. We were welcomed with mineral water, chocolate cake and a lot of fruits. Special thanks to Mrs. Mariana Koleva for warm welcoming. It is good to have more employees like her.
The only need in the morning,before Breakfast,to book yourself a sunbed (towel throw), otherwise near our hotel booked and will have to go look all over the beach. The best time for booking at 9 am
The best restaurant manager*****
Was that not changed the towels in their absence,the question to the Manager-and all quickly settled the matter. In the last days of our stay there was a smell of sewage in the room
Beach clean and always there were place where you can rest :) Definitelly we could recommend this hotel and stay :)
pool area was good, but not enough sunbeds. I'd say around 50 beds only, and they were all taken by 9/10 am. then the beach would be the only option. Hotel layout was some wierd
Really beautiful hotel with good, very tasty food and very friendly staff :) special thanks to Galin, who was a big friend for our little son - always friendly and positive :) Only one dissapointing point was location of our room (4th floor and over the way) but all in all our stay was very nice and relaxing :) We are not notorious complainers, so we did not discuss it with the reception, but based...
Thanks for all the amazing efforts of the animation team, Deni is an amazing Karate coach and also great at leading with her colleague all the beach activities like Boccia and Sjoelbak along with Football and Darts
Great location, frontline at the beach, friendly and helpful staff, great atmosphere, a lot of different activities during the day, plenty to keep you busy for the day
➕ PLUS
- The hotel is 10 meters away from the beach
- The food for all inclusive packages is very good and varied
- There are a lot of events and a very active animation team
- Rooms are quite big
- All the staff is nice and helpful
- Compared to the rest of Golden Sands this area is quiet ( the majority of the tourists are old people)
- You have access to a kids pool with water slides which is ...

🌞 From seashore 3 min
Dune Hotel Private Beach - 4 min
The beach area - sunbeds are on the second line, most with bird droppings after the night, which no one cleaned. The restaurant is a separate part that spoils all the good impressions of the hotel
We stayed 3 days in MPM Hotel Astoria. Our rooms were clean and had everything we needed. Reception was very helpful and the whole hotel was tidy and had a good vibe. No lines to the bar neither in the restaurant
Animation is good and the show programs are interesting. The sports activies are done nicely and the children are happy.
The animation was amazing! They had different features every night with special guests. The beach was near with enough sun beds and umbrellas.
Good location , the hotel itself is failrly good however the food could be more versatile.
Loved the beach access. Is perfect for families as well.
A wonderful place for a family holiday. The room was clean and cozy. The food was various and delicious. The staff were amazing. Especially the animation team - they were fantastic.
It's not a 4 star hotel persay, but still a very good experience, and it's literally right next to the beach!
My 6th time at this hotel it's rasy, friendly and clean. You get what you pay for. Expecting a 5 star hotel then find somewhere where you pay 5 star prices.
I stayed at Viva Club for 9 days. The food was very good, diversified. They have the main restaurant,snack bar and also they have food and drinks at the private beach. The animators are very nice and friendly
Good food, comfortable rooms. The beach is pretty far from the hotel, a 20 min walk or 10 min trip with the shuttle bus. I recommend it for families or couples.
We were her at the start of June and it was really nice. There are not many guests at the moment and the atmosohere is very relaxing. The food is really good, considering the fact that We were app 50 guests
Plus: - clean rooms - pleasant atmosphere - good food - all inclusive quality drinks which is ok considering it`s an all inclusive hotel (local brand spirits + vines, draft beer is really good) - friendly personnel - good quality beach and beach bar
The private beach is 10 Minuten walking distance and There is a bar on the beach too. We gonna Come back for sure, maybe in august or September
We had a very nice holiday at this hotel, we are a family with two boys of one year and six year old, we spent 8 days in august, just the best holiday ever!
Great value for money, lovely entertainment team, quiet place , very pleased with food and service, nice polite staff, they all speak english, secured parking as we went by car
A really nice personal touch was the free mini bar, which was a lifesaver for bottled water. The private beach was also lovely, made even better by the little hut where you could grab food and drinks
We spent most of our days around the adult’s only pool, which was fantastic, and also enjoyed a day at the private beach. One of the first things we noticed was just how clean the hotel was
We had a great time at the Voya Beach hotel. The staff was friendly , the facilities are great and diverse
The only two negatives we experienced were that the slides were closed for two days without any notice, which was a bit frustrating (although not the end of the world), and that there was a convention taking place at the hotel during our stay
At times, we felt a bit overlooked as holidaymakers, especially in the dining areas, where the convention guests seemed to be prioritised. That said, we would still recommend this hotel to anyone considering a stay
The staff truly deserves so much praise, as they were constantly cleaning and always working hard. We tried both of the à la carte restaurants. My boyfriend absolutely loved them
