5 star hotels in Golden Sands

I will start with the good things, of course. To mention that we had an Ultra All Inclusive package. The location is great, in the city center, there were a lot of shops near by. Also, the room was clean, it looked like in the photos. At the bar, we got served with any drink we wanted. The food I cannot say it was the best, it could ve been better, more diverse, especially at breakfast. We stayed for...

It's a great place to stay and enjoy the Golden Sands holiday area. The service is great and friendly with a nice environment. The prices in the Café are a bit overpriced, but considering the high season, it could be acceptable. The clean level is high as well. Thanks to all staff that keeps Admiral on high level for holidays.

Amazing place. 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. We really enjoyed our stay at Admiral Hotel and we will definitely come back.

- The location is good - after renovation the hotel looks luxury

Looks amazing and it's very close to the beach, which makes it very attractive.

Great location and everything you might need during your trip was in a minute walk distance. Perfect view from the terrace. Breakfast was very good and well organized. Our room was clean and big enough. Lobby bar was not well stocked. Staff at the reception were friendly and supportive. Cleaning staff was not okay, because we need to ask them for towel change most of the time. We had problems with...

The hotel is nice. It has a spa and massage centre. The room was big and modern and nicely furnished. The bed was very comfortable. The Tv is small and obsolete with no casting options, so you can't stream from your phone. Overall, cleanliness is everywhere. Smells nice and pleasant. Just be careful with the expensive alcohol! Mine was diluted with water, hence the blurry colour of the Rakia. When...

I love it! The location is very well located, in the middle of the tourist resort. Nearby, there are a lot of beach bars and funny places with games for all ages. The hotel has a casino on the ground floor. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The rooms are big and it offers you all what you need. The food was tasty and vary.

The hotel in itself is great, clean,great food and excellent service. But the guests are of the lowest level. They grabbed food with their bare hands, they let their kids run arround and no one from the hotel staff said anything to them. The internal pool smelled like pee. Also, way too few elevators for how big the hotel is, you could rarely get one available.

Unfortunately the horrible music from the Luna park outside doesn’t let you sleep at all. For the breakfast they put just one bottle of sparkling wine for hundreds of guests 😂😂😂 Apart that it’s nice hotel very close to the beach “, nice sea view as well

So, we booked this room, the amount charged was one night before arrival, and two nights after arrival, and upon check out the amount payed for 1 night was not reimbursed, as the receptionist said. We wanted a balcony, we received one without. Second, the ac was not working, we had to stay at 27.5-28 degree in the room. To be somehow fixed we needed to call like 6 times for a person from maintenance...

The hotel is great, deserves 5 stars, decent food, helpful staff, good spa and pool services. The only issue we had was the fact it was way too noisy! There is a club right in front of the hotel which closes at 2 AM every night, with very loud music so we really could not sleep earlier than that. However if you are looking to party a lot and spend your nights clubbing this is very convenient but if...

I've reserved directly on the HVD website, I recommend you to do the same at better rates compared to Booking. For our pleasant surprise we've been upgraded from family room to maisonette. The maisonette consist into the first floor, a living, bathroom and terrace, on the upper floor two rooms and two bathrooms. One of the rooms have the bathroom inside. The rooms are really spacious and have everything...

I appreciate that they are not wasting food only for opulence like they do in Turkey. Food is various, there are several options even for vegetarians or for those who prefer healthy food, but not exagerated. Beer is fresh and cold always, bartenders are young and friendly, good ice cream. All the rooms have sea view and is very nice. Plenty of parking spots. 2 minutes from the hotel entrance to the...

We had a family room, for 3 adults and a newborn. We appreciated the guarded parking, but the parking spots are insufficient. We ended parking on the pavement towards the restaurant. There were 2 joined rooms, with a door that couldn’t be closed between. Kind of strange, considering the door was not mounted correctly. The bathrooms had a bad smell inside. On one of the bathrooms the fan was not...

Riviera Beach is a hidden gem in Golden Sands. It was bought by the HVD group last year, and since then, the overall quality has improved drastically. The rooms are just what you would expect; however, each one has a view of the sea, and watching the sunrise is a truly unique experience. The restaurant was fantastic - there was a wide variety of food options to suit every taste. The food was also always...

One of the best experiences i’ve ever had, out of the ordinary staff, so kind and lovely to communicate with, especially the girls at the reception. High quality beds and so many services. I highly recommend it!!

Excellent Easter weekend stay here. Would come again if the price is reasonable. We were due to stay at the 4-star Nympha Hotel, but we got upgraded to 5-star Riviera Beach Hotel. Riviera Beach may have been 5 stars once, but it's not quite 5 stars nowadays. It's an old hotel, somewhat renovated. Rooms are large, spacious. All rooms have a sea view, but for 1st floor rooms the view is somewhat obscured...

Very good location, in front of the enter of Golden Sands, private area, adorable park, absolutely green and colourful flowers, perfect beaches!

Very nice park , exotic beach, nice beach baar, a nice group of hotels and pools. Nice and calm place for a visit.

Good location, right next to the beach, indoor pool, nice place for a family holiday.

When I saw the room,the upset of 5 stars does not pull,as if caught in 80 -e years,on the walls, the Wallpaper,the carpet,the interior doors are old with peeling paint,balcony in the lining with the web,was the 5th floor. Bathroom: everything seems nothing,but the tub itself is raised so that the person is taller than 180 cm will hit the ceiling, the shower is old. Few outlets,and those that are not...

The only negative not enough choice of food for kids, have to pay extra and order from the restaurant

​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. The food was okay but quite repetitive. The restaurant at the Level was much quieter than the standard one. The standard restaurant was incredibly noisy. The alcoholic drinks were of poor quality, with the exception...

Nice place, right next to the center of town. The hotel is big, with many facilities and a good balance between money spend ans services available. I do recommend it (keep in mind that it is not a 5 stars hotel overall)

It’s a Strong 4.7 out of 5 This was our second stay at Meliá Grand Hermitage, and once again it proved to be an excellent choice for a relaxing family vacation. The overall atmosphere is calm and welcoming, and the quality is consistent, which is not always the case when you return to the same place. Rooms & Cleanliness One of the biggest pluses here is how clean and well-maintained everything is...

The hotel is very lovely with various restaurants that you can reserve. The pools are spacious and nice. The beach is a little walk down the hill which can be a challenge with children to climb back up. In general, the location is nice because you can walk along the beach walk. The animation team was the best, with great entertainment and activities through-out the day as well as in the evening. They...

One of the best vacations of my life. Very nice hotel. Good food. The animators are very professional and friendly. I'll definitely go back there someday

Everything was perfect about our vacantion, thanks for everybody , from the cleaning ladies , cooks, servers, bartenders, everybody.... Special thanks to Eva and David from the animation team, my son was thrilled about the kids club and the mini disco shows !

The hotel is located right by the beach in a very calm area

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...

A very pleasant place to relax! The hotel is cozy, and the spa area really impressed me – the sauna with a sea view and the salt room were amazing. The atmosphere is calm, and you can truly unwind. Also, the pizza at the beach restaurant was incredible! 🍕 I recommend the Capricciosa, but keep in mind the restaurant closes at 6:00 PM, so don’t miss it.

A very good spa, great mineral pool, very kind and polite staff, close to restaurants and a beach restaurant. The whole family enjoyed our vacation.

Amazing place with great food, outstanding service and wonderful vibe. The center is clean and it has everything you need to relax and enjoy your vacation! Highly recommend!

The hotel was amazing I loved my experience there the food was great and the staff was lovely and were super kind!! I recommend going there and I enjoyed staying there it was amazing they had such welcoming and friendly atmosphere I loved it!!

The Karaoke Bar attached to the Hotel is exceptional. Great entertainment via David and THE BEST WAITRESS IN BULGARIA, Blagovesta. Intially called in by chance and thereafter went there every night. Very clean, with a wonderful ambience. BLAGOVESTA makes sure that noone waits; clears tables and is really likeable. The Karaoke is impressive with key changes and echo. The venue is well-ventilated and...

Beautiful location and silent place . The hotel has a nice shore and the view is nice . The rooms and breakfast is 7 over 10 , could be better. I was there for business so I did not have the chance to use thermal facilities but they seemed very good.

Everything was absolutely perfect! We shall definitely return.

A very nice hotel with great location . Thermal pools are great , there is also an outdoor pool . The hotel is in a quite place . The rooms are good. Staff is nice . Clean and tidy , Breakfast is good with nany choices . Liked the Ball room as well. Nice.

We had the Seaview room on the top floor and it was stunning. Room was quite spacious, plenty of storage, everything was clean. Lovely bathroom, all your kits provided. Plenty of choices at breakfast and we really enjoyed our stay. Taking one star away for the pool restaurant. We had lunch there one day, and I was served undercooked chicken. My husband went to complain but was told its a thigh therefore...

Nice hotel and good breakfast, the inly problem is to many insects in the room and also the window door need to be fixed before the guest is coming to the room.

Indeed great food, very convenient rooms, private beach+ aqua house use+ nice hotel pools: what else is required for excellent vacation? Ah, yes, the location- the drive to airport/malls is indeed short. And sure the staff-all staff guys are very friendly at the hotel. This is the complete picture. They said they "probably best hotel at black sea shore"- "probably" can be omitted from my point of...

Beautiful place with amazing staff and cool chilled atmosphere, the place has the right balance between chic and relaxed, the owners made amazing job by keeping the place familial and at the same time professional, they sent a cake for my partner’s birthday which was a nice and thoughtful, the food in all the restaurants is outstanding and the staff will do anything to make the customer happy, the...

5 star property, service could be improved So beautiful, an amazing place to stay. We loved the apartment, the beach club and the restaurant. The service in the reception was completely absent, we were left to ourselves to figure everything out, but we managed :)

Stunning hotel, couldn’t fault a thing! Everything you could wish for all in one complex. We will be back!

Awesome place with very good service

The most beautiful location on the Bulgarian seaside! Excellent, everything is excellent!

The entire place looks amazing, the view from there is beautiful. You must visit this place if you arrive in Varna, or near Varna, but just to take some photos, nothing more. I really don’t recommend food, I had an awful experience. I ordered chicken with gorgonzola, mashed potatoes, and an orange Cappy juice. I received chicken with nothing, some awful french fries and a peach Cappy. I thought it...

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...

My stay at Ensana Aquahouse was truly enjoyable from start to finish. The hotel offers a calm and welcoming environment, perfect for relaxation. Its location near the beach and surrounded by greenery adds to the overall peaceful experience. The room was clean, cozy, and well-equipped. One thing that really stood out was the excellent housekeeping service. The maids were thorough, polite, and made...

A great experience! The pools are fantastic and all the place is wonderful designed, a lot of trees and flowers that relax your eyes while you enjoy the water. Also, while you are at the pool, you can also enjoy the sea view. The facilities are also an important aspect and the resort provide quality services. The rooms are big and beautiful, everything is clean and fresh. I also appreciate that the...

A truly wonderful experience at Ensana Aqua House! Everything was top-notch – from the facilities and the friendly staff to the delicious food. The heated outdoor pools are fantastic – very clean, well-maintained, and perfect for relaxing throughout the day. The pool with the slide was a big hit with the kids, a great touch for families. The wellness area also stands out, offering a wide variety of...

It truly great experience. I spent two weeks here and enjoyed every single day. I also have to say that my expectations were not just met but exceeded. I understand the Hotel opened three years ago, yet it seems brand-new. It’s a very high-quality to build and it’s well maintained. The whole hotel is very spacious and grand. My room again very large and well designed. The spa has many different pools...

It’s our second visit to this hotel, firstly was at the opening when it was not part of Ensana and secondly last weekend. We see an improvement in the services and the hotel is well maintained. The complementary mini bar was a great treat. Even is good that the hotel opted out for all inclusive, the quality of the food for breakfast is still low. Breakfast at Astor is way better, more vegetarian, non...

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Casa di Fiore and everything exceeded my expectations! The location is stunning, offering a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The service throughout the hotel is impeccable. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The food in the restaurant is varied and delicious. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional experience!

We have been in Casa di fiore since the start of January 2025. We had a very nice time. Hotel is very beautiful, the Christmas atmosphere was amazing and we loved it very much. Food is very delicious, lot of choices. We liked Spa and pools and enjoyed it. Room is big and nice, so the bathroom is. Hygiene in a hotel in general is on a very high level. Staff is very polite. We came to the hotel before...

It remains our favourite family hotel. Great food with a lot of variety everyday, lovely warm inside and outside pools, saunas, wonferful friendly staff. Undisputed value for money. Already looking forward to come back in next summer!!!

The hotel is five star for Bulgaria. Responsive, pleasant, and attentive staff, food was plentiful and varied, however there is little change from day to day. As typical in the region beef is not the best and other choices were overcooked. Still, there was enough choice to find a satisfying meal. Their indoor and outdoor mineral pools are very nice. The private beach is excellent and well appointed...

I arrived here for the first time in July on the recommendation of a friend with small children as a perfect hotel for families with children. We felt so good here that I came back in August. The hotel seems quite new and has everything needed for a quiet vacation for both parents and children. From the entrance you are greeted with water or lemonade and snacks for children. After check-in, you are...

This is the second time my wife, our 15-year-old daughter, and I have stayed at this hotel. Just like last year, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We spent five nights in a beautiful room with a seaside view, featuring one bed and a sofa, which I highly recommend. The hotel staff, from the bellboy to the cleaning personnel to the people at the reception, were professional and friendly, and we had no...

It is a 3-star hotel, by no means a 5-star hotel. The rooms look good, they are spacious, but the cleanliness leaves much to be desired, the bathroom fills with water every time you shower and the toilet bowl moves. The services are 3 stars maximum. There is a coffee machine in the room, but the coffee is for a fee. There are no chopsticks with which to chew your coffee sugar. I arrived at the check...

Overall a nice experience. Accommodation in vila was a very nice surprize( premiere and lux, standard just ok). Facilities are very nice, plenty of pools and the beach easy to reach. The food was the minus and the level of English of the staff, doing their best to communicate but clearly lacking even the basic knowledge. And not to forget..please find a supply for water melons, there was NO WAY...

I went for a weekend family trip. On reception I had quite a few demands so I had to speak to the manager Ion Bondar. After our short conversation I received exactly as I wanted as a room and amenities. +++ for this trip, i can recommend it more!!! The service, the restaurant, the views, the beach!!!! It’s simply the best!!!

The hotel is beautifully designed in every detail. I visited Therma ECO Village in October 2023, after the main season – most of the hotels in the area were already closed, so I could enjoy pure nature and empty beaches near the hotel. I enjoy hiking and Ion from the guest relation provided me with plenty of information and useful tips about the surrounding, nearby activities and trails not known to...

Good for kids, not so good for parents. Bad parts: The first problem, I sent 2 emails to clarify a situation, no answer until today. Not even a "we're sorry, it's not possible, or we're sorry, we had a problem with our internet service." The second big problem, the complex is located on the outside of the town, the access road being unlit, narrow and poorly signposted. In fact, you have a large...

It's been 3 days since a hotel employee has been mowing the grass with a moto scythe every day. The noise is terrible. I recommend they use an electric scythe so we don't feel like we're on a construction site. Smoke and noise

Very nice hotel, the animation team is very friendly and attentive, great work all around!

I loved this place. My daughter came to a skating camp here. My wife and I tagged along to this hotel. Don’t expect American standards. It’s hard to compare because things are so different in Bulgaria. People are also very direct, very different culture here. It is a very nice hotel and everyone is friendly and tries their best. This is mainly a sports training camp/hotel. The beaches are clear...

We are a family of 6 with 2 teenagers and elderly parents and had an absolutely wonderful stay at Therma Palace! The all-inclusive package made everything so easy and enjoyable with a great variety. The swimming pools were clean, relaxing and perfect for both kids and adults. What truly made our stay extra special was the amazing service from the hotel staff, especially the manager at the front office...

Was looking for a pool to use while on Kranevo. The Therma Palace allowed non guests to use the pool and garden areas for a cost of 30 leva. Inside is a pool and 2 wooden jacuzzis. Both were good to use. Outside a pool and a jacuzzi which unfortunately was broken so no bubbles. Lots of sunbeds and canopies outside . Garden was nice to sit in. Had some lunch and drinks while there too for extra charge...

Great place with warm staff and amazing food. Michaela at the restaurant and Irina by the reception were always helpfull and smiling. Great rooms and style. Calm and beautifull garden. Great Spa and calm atmosphere.

Great animation, kids were very happy. The animators were friendly, kind and joyful (especially the girl with glasses). There was different shows and activities every day. We can't wait to come back here next summer.

Wonderful hotel. Excellent food. Would definitely recommend . The room was spacious, staff very friendly and helpful

The rooms are very spacious. We had booked an apartment with two bedrooms and a living room which is a great option for family with kids, or if you are a group of more than 2 adults and want to be in an apartment. There are two separate bathrooms and a very big terrace with an exceptional view. All hotel staff members are very friendly and caring. The food at the restaurant is good, there is variety...

Decent but a little dated rooms, nice staff. Luckily the poolarea at the adjacent Flamingo Grand is accessible if you stay here. Very easy to find sunbeds.

I just recently came back from this hotel and we did had good stay. I am going to outline good & bad experiences in hotel. Good: -Brilliant animation team - Nice swimming pool - Walking distance to beach and 2 sunbeds included in stay. - Nice breakfast and dinner food, also chefs very nice. -One housekeeping (blond hair) lady nice. Bad: - Paid car park - There was money taken from our room, we notified...

Clean room and building. Friendly and helpful staff. Great food. I only had breakfast and dinner for almost a week. It was very quiet and relaxing ... it is not the season yet though. Very convenient parking solution. We paid in advance and when you approach the gate, the number of your car is automatically recognized, and the gate opens automatically. We loved it! BIH THANK YOU!!!

Excellent stay! Hotel is recently opened in June, everything is new and modern. Large room with a large bathroom and balcony, very good cleaning and comfortable bed. Room has everything you need, including good quality cosmetics from Fragonard. Very good food, restaurant is not at all crowded, you can definetly see the difference between this 5 star hotel and the rest of Albena’s 4 and 3 stars hotels...

Nice personnel, good food and nice rooms! Loved it there.

Third time to Hotel Amelia which hasn't changed since first time Very basic rooms which are okay for the price. Nice looking bar just a shame it now never seems to be open or anyone serving drinks, when we first visited they were serving cocktails, coffee and great choice of drinks whilst sat on the amazing terrace - real shame this doesn't now seem to happen. Food okay and good choice. Location...

A nice hotel, friendly staff, great food. Very close to the beach but no swimming pool. No draught beer in the hotel and no English newspapers.

Very helpful, nice and cool staff. Perfect service. The food wasn't bad, nothing exciting. For the guests with children the terraces at the bottom of the corridors can be very nice place to relax after setting the children to sleep. If we come back to Albena we would use this hotel again.

Fantastic Stay. Very clean, wonderful breakfast, great staff, beautiful view of the Black Sea from my balcony. The General Manager, Elena was outstanding. Nice walking path along the water in front of the hotel. Easy to access lounge chairs on the sand.

Relatively new, beautiful hotel. Nice, well organised rooms furnished with all necessary features. Very comfortable beds. The staff consists of well selected and trained profecionals and every boady is ready to assist you if you need something.

Truly a perfect place! The hotel combines comfort, luxury and family friendly facilities. Perfect for a relaxing holiday whether as a couple, with friends or with the family. We went there before and already were happy with the hotel but this latest experience was even better: the facility is still awesome and staff and management seem to aim at truly international standards in terms of customer experience...

The best hotel in Albena resort. Spacious rooms with amazing sea view and steps away from the sand. All amenities included, the flat iron and coffee machine in the room is highly appreciated by my side. The breakfast and dinner are great. The food at the main restaurant is fresh and delicious. The a la carte restaurant is classy, offering amazing cuisine. The staff are helpful and polite. The SPA is...

A nice hotel, looks as a 5 stars but it may be improved. Big, nice, confortable rooms. Outdoor pools could be heated because in 30 May and 6 September when we were nobody could swim there. Lucky that they have an indoor pool (small one) . I would have expected that sauna is included and does not have to pay extra for it. Breakfast and lunch are buffet. The food is good, not very good, and not very...

I don't have cons. Just pros. Stayed for 7 nights, would've stayed another 7. Brilliant.
