Location

Grifid Aqua Club Bolero is situated in the heart of Golden Sands resort, just 50 meters from a public sandy beach that guests can easily access by a short walk involving some stairs and crossing a road. The hotel is approximately 18 km from Varna Airport, making transfers relatively convenient. The resort center lies 500 meters away, where you can find shops, restaurants, and nightlife.

Varna city is accessible by bus, although service is infrequent and sometimes unreliable, but it offers cultural attractions like the Dolphinarium and museums.

Had an amazing time at Bolero. 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!

It's a beautiful place for every family to go on holiday. I recommend it to anyone. There is a guy here, Todor from Grece, very nice guy, he makes good Hugo.

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.

Everything was perfectly refined, from the food at the restaurant to the cleanliness of the rooms. Huge praise for all the entertainers, thanks to whom I could leave my eight-year-old daughter in their care without worrying about anything. The bar by the pool had excellent service, very nice and helpful people. The reception was very helpful and friendly; they took care of everything I asked for. We had everything our hearts desired here, and we will definitely come back again.

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. These are seemingly small things, but they make a big difference. For example, during meals you do not have to wander around looking for a free table – the staff will always seat you. 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. Bolero is truly exceptional thanks to its animation programs, which we have never experienced in such quality anywhere else. 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. Each has a strength they know how to use. Katy, who is like Shakira and Barbie in one, makes her Aquagym and Zumba not only active but also entertaining. The pleasantly crazy Cleo gets even the lazy ones moving. Niky, with his dancing and moderating, can win over the audience so much that even my husband always got up from his chair to join the hotel dance. Simo is a source of good mood, ease and humor. Calm and kind Alex always smiles and asks how you are. Other animators take care of the children – we did not bring any, but it was clear they were doing a good job. For us, this entertainment is the main reason why we will definitely return to Bolero.

We stayed at Grifid Bolero for a week ( our second time there) and honestly, everything was just perfect. The room was super clean. The housekeeping staff did a great job every day. The food really surprised us – so much variety and everything tasted fresh and delicious. Drinks were also great, and the bartenders were really friendly (and quick!). The beach is just a short walk away and very well maintained. The animation team was a big highlight – they put so much energy into daily activities and evening shows without being pushy. (Thank you Bassem and Niki, Simo, Cloe) Big thanks to all the staff – everyone was super nice and made us feel welcome from start to finish. Whether you’re going with, this hotel really has everything you need for a perfect holiday.

The experience we had with this hotel was awful:
The hotel is not at all a 4 star hotel, everything being old and damaged. The air conditioning is barely working and the entire hotel is smelling like food during the meals time.
Even if it was suppose to be an ultra all inclussive service, all the drinks were from the machine and on top of that, the quality was doubtful as well.
On the main restaurant, the cakes and cookies were always warm instead of cold and most of the times people had to wait in order to enter the restaurant, due to the fact that there weren't enough tables for everyone.
But the worst experience by far with this hotel, is that both my wife and my 8 year old kid got infected with Salmonella, most likely from the Asian restaurant and they both had to stay in hospital for 5 days. During the entire vacation we only ate at the hotel so the probability to take the bacteria from somewhere else, is 0%.
Worst hotel we have ever been to.
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!
