Reviews
choose somewhere else to stay.
I cant understand the 3-5 points reviews.
The 1-2 stars are the truth, dont stay on this hotel.
We recently stayed at Lilia Hotel in Golden Sands, and unfortunately, our experience was far from what was promised or expected of a 4-star hotel.
To start, we had booked sea view rooms, but upon arrival, we were given standard rooms. Only after calling the agency did we manage to get what we had paid for. The hotel appeared to have overbooked, which is unacceptable.
The quality of food was very poor throughout the stay. It was repetitive, lacked variety, and worst of all, I got food poisoning on the last day. This raised serious concerns about food hygiene and safety standards.
The parking situation was also a mess. It’s not free – it costs 20 leva per day, and you’re expected to reserve a parking spot a month in advance, which is not clearly communicated beforehand. Very inconvenient for guests traveling by car.
As for the amenities, there were not enough sunbeds, which meant many guests had nowhere to sit by the pool. The “all-inclusive” package was misleading, with limited options and poor service. Overall, this hotel does not meet 4-star standards – it’s more like a 2-star establishment.
I would not recommend this hotel and won’t be returning. The management needs to seriously rethink their service quality, transparency, and facilities.
Ps. I left a photo with the sea view . ;)
Owners don’t respond to inquiries.
Service is standard
Food is at best standard
Location is great.
Families and Business people will be unhappy with the lack of WIFi.
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!
Pool works till 5pm;
Dinner is till 9pm;
Not all of the staff are nice and polite;
Food is good, but you have to wait at least 15 minutes to reach it all the time of the dinner.
Rooms are good and clean;
There is no available free water and and even if you are with all-inclusive you are not allowed to fill a bottle for the room.
Definitely not coming back!
