Description

Arena Mar Hotel & SPA - All Inclusive is a modern 4-star hotel established in 2015, located in the Golden Sands resort area of Bulgaria. The hotel consists of one 6-story building housing 200 rooms ranging from Economy to Deluxe Suites, many featuring balconies or patios. Guests can enjoy an outdoor pool, a fitness center, and a garden terrace, as well as on-site amenities including a restaurant, bar, sauna, and massage services. Entertainment options include billiards, darts, table tennis, and a games room. The hotel emphasizes clean, contemporary rooms, some with multiple bathrooms, and offers free Wi-Fi in public areas. It is suitable for families, with child-friendly facilities like cribs on request, but pets are not allowed. Parking is available for a fee. The all-inclusive package provides a variety of food choices, though some guests find the drink selection and quality inconsistent.

The public sandy beach is just 240 meters away, separated from the hotel by a road; beach umbrellas and sunbeds are available for rent.

Rooms were clean enough, towels were changed daily on aour apartment even though I have seen complaints in reviews regarding this subject.

As a plus, there were two bathrooms in the suite.

The food was plenty even if you arrived later and it was tasty also.

The beach is 5 minutes walk, the only disadvantage is that there are some abrupt stairs on the way. You can take a longer walk on the main road, no stairs but double the time.

Also we have seen complaints about the music of neighbouring clubs. We were accommodated at 4th floor, we could hear some music but not loud enough to be disturbing in any way.

Downsides:
Parking is not included, price is 20 lv / day.
The drinks could do with some improvement.

The food was fresh, and different ,the rooms clean and fully equipped with what you needed.Nice please and relaxed evening around the pool with the lovely singing!

Update 2025

For the second year we have a great time here, the food is varied and delicious, the staff is very kind, the rooms are cleaned well and we dance to mixes of international music that you can't hear anywhere else, and the singer is from last year and we were very happy to see her!

One of the best places I've ever stayed. unfortunately we need it to shorten our vacation because of personal reasons, but all the experience was amazing. The rooms were very clean, and when they clean it every day they really clean them, not just changing the towels. The food excellent, a lot of choices and the variety of drinks that u don't have time to try all of them. Every night was live music or a show and the stuff some friendly...some not, but overall an amazing experience.

The hotel itsself is nice, the elevator works, every room has a balcony and it's beautifully clean. However, the shower in each room doesn't have the walls to prevent water from spilling everywhere and the drain barely even drains (atleast in the room i got). Bathroom smelled like sewage first time I entered the room, but the smell faded slowly. Didn't really care about these imperfections though.
Most if even half of the staff don't know how to speak english. Due to this language barrier, the back massage which I appointed for wasn't firm enough. The staff actually behave okay-ish.
Some dishes are not even worth it, while some of them taste awesome. It's like gambling, but with food.
I suspect they support food waste though because of the way they just throw away leftover food from my plate when I am full. I also feel like the staff are swearing at us when we're the last to eat, yikes it makes me feel uncomfortable but I understand their impatience.
The gym, which is at the same floor with the spa, is smaller than I expected and not so varied, but I am still grateful.

In conclusion: this hotel is quite worth classifing as ★★★★ because of the location close to the beaches and the varied food.
Update 1: I used to think this hotel was bad but it became nice somehow. I have a question for you staff though: How do you dispose of the food?
13.07.2025 Katharina
Rooms were dirty, especially the bathroom.
Food was a disaster, we only had breakfast included but the food was poor quality and the dining area was not clean at all. It overall looked gross and you had to search for the few things you could eat safely. The staff was not very friendly. The pool with the sunbeds was very crowded, after 7am there were no free sunbeds because everyone was reserving a bunch of beds with their towels.
Only good thing about this hotel is the location close to the beach. The beach is very nice but as there is no hotel area at the beach you have to pay for sunbeds and an umbrella at the beach, which is however relatively cheap.

The hotel is very nice, the staff are very nice, the inside pool is great and warm, the family room is big, has 2 bathrooms which is great when you travel with kids, the location is great, the breakfast is great while there are a lot of guests in the hotel, at the end of our stay when there weren't a lot of guests in the hotel- the breakfast wasn't fresh every day, the bread was with mold on it, the pancakes were dry and felt old, the desserts also felt very old and dry like the staff didn't threw it away and just keep putting them out over and over again every day

We stayed here at the end of September for 5 nights. The hotel was quiet due to it being the end of their season which meant a lot of the local shops, bars and restaurants has closed (no fault of the hotel, we didn’t do our research and assumed the season would continue into October - something to be mindful of if you’re booking in 2024). The food and spa were the highlights of our holiday. The spa staff were super friendly and helpful and we made sure to make use of the facilities and treatments on offer. Would recommend the Turkish bath, it was incredible! The price of the treatments were so cheap compared to the U.K. you can pay cash or card which is handy too. The food was so flavoursome and we had something different each night. If you’re a fussy eater or expecting 20+ difference choices this isn’t the place for you. There was enough choices but each dish was delicious and the cakes were little mouthfuls of heaven. Overall the hotel was very modern and clean and is in a great location to walk to the beach. Even with it being quiet we felt extremely safe strolling around. Down by the beachfront there are some lovely shops and bars, it’s a lovely easy stroll. We took the 409 bus into Varna (approx 45 mins journey) and hired electric scooters to explore. We’d recommend wandering the garden, it’s beautiful and lots for kids to do. The staff were generally very helpful, a big shout out to Vanka (I hope that’s how you spell it) on reception who was extremely helpful in trying to sort an issue with our transfer back to the airport. Only negative experienced were the cleaners were slightly rude and staff weren’t always at the bar around the pool, we imagine this was down to it being out of season. We would definitely return to the hotel and make the most of the spa and facilities again next year.

We spent 6 days at this hotel with family and child. Nice and clean rooms. Friendly staff. Good food and lots of it. It's a great experience. A good place for groups of friends but also for families with children. I noticed a very good organization. I also work in tourism and I can appreciate it when employees do their best with tourists to have a good time.
26.05.2023 Guest
I was transfered from another hotel and couldn't have asked to have been looked after any better, the staff are wonderful and happy to help. You are a 2 minute walk to the beach, with lots of bars and shops on hand. Valya works behind the reception bar and is a treasure, and an asset to the hotel. The food is buffet style and plenty of choice and decent open hours, the staff are all friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend and would come back again.
