Description

Grifid Arabella Hotel - Ultra All inclusive & Aquapark is a four-star property built in 2001 and renovated in 2014, located in the heart of the Golden Sands Resort. With 292 rooms spread across an 8-floor building, it offers a large choice of room types including family rooms and suites with sea or water views. The hotel is designed to accommodate families, featuring a kids’ club, children's playground, water slides, and a separate children’s pool area with aquapark facilities. Guests can enjoy three a la carte restaurants (Asian, Italian, Bulgarian), one main restaurant seating 290, three bars, and a wellness center with spa services. Two outdoor pools and one indoor pool are available, alongside free access to fitness amenities like tennis courts and aerobics classes. Although the hotel offers ultra all-inclusive service, some guests noted variability in food and drink quality. The hotel does not allow pets and has a child-friendly policy with various amenities such as baby cots and babysitting on request.

Location

The hotel is situated in the Golden Sands Resort, just 50 meters from the center of the resort and 180 meters from Golden Sands Beach, a public sandy beach on the first shoreline. It lies about 18 km from Varna Airport, making transfers relatively quick. Nearby dining options include McDonald's at 244 meters, and local restaurants like Tip Top and Karakachanski Stan within 300-400 meters. The hotel’s central location means easy access to resort amenities but also proximity to nightlife, which some guests have found noisy, especially in rooms facing the beach or courtyard.

Tips

  • If you are sensitive to noise, request a room facing away from the beach or courtyard to avoid late-night music and animation sounds.
  • Reserve your spot early at the a la carte restaurants as availability can be limited despite reports of empty tables.
  • Bring comfortable footwear for negotiating the approximately 100 stairs between the hotel and the beach area.

  • Child policies: Children of all ages are welcome at this property. Additional fees may be charged for children using existing beds. Add the number of children to get a more accurate price.
  • Cribs and Extra Beds: Extra bed and crib policies may vary according to room type. Please refer to the room type details for more information.
  • Breakfast: Continental, Gluten-free, Vegan, Vegetarian Buffet Additional breakfast fees are not included in the total and need to be paid at the property.
  • Pets: Pets are not allowed
  • Age Requirements: The main guest checking in must be at least 18 years old

the rooms are nice, the service is good, but the hygiene is really bad..i got a virus because of it🥲the outdoor tables at the restaurant aren't cleaned. not even wiped. the indoor tables are well cleaned, though. and the rooms are cleaned well, too. the location isnt the best, and i won't recommend if you have a baby or a toddler. from 10 am to 11 pm theres loud music, and even after that, you can hear music from nearby clubs until around 2 am. or well, thats for the rooms facing the beach only.

I love being on this beach, the staff are friendly, and I always feel safe and protected because they are always walking around, the only thing is that there are not enough mattresses provided.
I will visit this hotel again 👍

We felt great on vacation at the beginning of May. The rooms were large and renovated, was cleaned and the fridge was filled daily. Smiling people who want you to come back to them. The young people at the bar were super nice and smiling. The pool was clean and the weather was great for the beginning of May. For us it was very nice..
Don't look to the haters. They paid a certain price, they expeted more than the price they paid.

I had a great holiday, the entertainment team is super friendly. There was entertainment from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. All the entertainers were smiling and attentive. The evenings are good, they start at 9:30 p.m. and end around 10:30 p.m. Thank you for looking at my review, I had a great holiday

Hotel Arabella is the perfect place if you’re looking for a fun, energetic holiday! There’s always something going on — games by the pool, music, dancing, evening shows… the vibe is just amazing. The animation team truly brings the place to life.we still singing and dancing. Special shoutout to Mila – she’s an absolute star! So friendly, full of energy, and great with both kids and adults. My kids still talk about her and the mini disco. She really made our stay unforgettable. Can’t wait to come back next summer! 🎉☀️

Excellent experience for our family at Arabella. Good food, good services, entertainment, hospitality and a very customer-centric approach. We will definitely come back ❤️
05.07.2025 Elena
An OK physical location but outclassed in every way by the staff

- The reception staff know almost nothing, especially about the facilities, don't know details or information about the aqua park or even where the night bar is located 5 meters away from them, in the basement.

- The sun loungers on the beach don't have enough mattresses and the staff gets irritated when you ask questions and requests one.

- Don't bother making a reservation at the fancy/ alacart restaurants because they are always fully booked onlyne, but in the evenings if you look at the restaurants they are always empty. Theater!

- The indoor dining room at the main restaurant constantly smells like vomit in the back of the room.

I don't recommend it!
04.05.2025 Ion
For unfussy people, it is a OK hotel. The rooms are big enough and clean. I didn't like the drinks (especially the wine) included and the fact that are not so many parking places.
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
Think about what you would like to know if you were looking for a review about a place to relax. Please describe in detail what you liked and what you didn't. What would you advise to other guests and to the hotel owner. The more fully you tell about the hotel, the easier it will be for other people to make a choice and they will be very grateful to you!
