Many guests praise the tasty and varied food, highlighting excellent buffet and a la carte options. The friendly and helpful staff receive frequent commendations, with special mentions for animation team members like Deni and Galin. Rooms are described as spacious and clean, with good daily housekeeping and well-stocked minibars. Guests appreciate the quiet location away from the bustling resort center and the availability of free umbrellas and loungers on the private beach. Children's facilities, including kids’ club, playground, and evening mini disco, are valued by families. Several reviews report that some rooms, especially on higher floors, are outdated with ineffective air conditioning and old furnishings. Noise issues from nearby bars and nightclubs disturb sleep, particularly due to poor sound insulation. Limited availability of sunbeds at the outdoor pool area, often fully occupied early in the morning. Some guests experienced problems with hot water supply and low water pressure in bathrooms on upper floors. Concerns were raised about the management of the all-inclusive package, with some drinks and beach services not included as expected.

Description

Grifid Encanto Beach Hotel is a four-star family-oriented hotel located in the Golden Sands resort complex, built in 2000 and renovated in 2013. It comprises a single 7-story building with 250 rooms offering a variety of room types including standard, deluxe, suites, and apartments, many with sea or park views. The hotel features a private sandy beach just 20 meters away, with free umbrellas and sun loungers, though access requires crossing a road. Guests can enjoy one outdoor and one indoor heated pool, a spa and wellness center, and multiple dining options including a buffet restaurant and an a la carte restaurant with a dress code for dinner. Children's facilities are extensive, with a kids' club, playground, children's disco, and a shallow pool section. Entertainment includes aerobics, volleyball on the beach, darts, and a lively animation team. Free Wi-Fi is available in the lobby, while parking is paid. Pets are not allowed. The hotel emphasizes a quiet atmosphere suitable for families and guests seeking relaxation away from the busy resort center.

Location

Grifid Encanto Beach Hotel is situated in the Golden Sands resort, approximately 19 km from Varna Airport. Its private sandy beach lies just 20 meters from the hotel, across a road, providing direct beach access. The hotel is positioned in a quieter section of Golden Sands, away from the lively central area, which appeals to families and guests seeking tranquility. Nearby, the Piratski Bar 'Kariba' restaurant is located 328 meters away with a high rating. The hotel’s coordinates are 43.2988303 latitude and 28.0481332 longitude, placing it right on the pedestrian promenade close to the shoreline.

Tips

  • Request a sea view room if possible, as some guests found rooms facing the road less desirable.
  • Arrive early at the outdoor pool area to secure sunbeds, as space is limited and fills up by mid-morning.
  • Be aware that some noise from nearby nightclubs and bars can affect sleep quality, so consider bringing earplugs if you are a light sleeper.

Really beautiful hotel with good, very tasty food and very friendly staff :) special thanks to Galin, who was a big friend for our little son - always friendly and positive :) Only one dissapointing point was location of our room (4th floor and over the way) but all in all our stay was very nice and relaxing :) We are not notorious complainers, so we did not discuss it with the reception, but based on our own experience, we would prefer a sea view. Room was spacious and clean, everyday very good room service and filling the minibar was great! Food excellent. Beach clean and always there were place where you can rest :) Definitelly we could recommend this hotel and stay :)

My family and I stayed here from July 29 to August 5, 2025. It is an excellent hotel in a quiet location with very friendly and professional staff and delicious cuisine. We were completely satisfied with our stay and will definitely return.
02.08.2025 Eli
Great location, frontline at the beach, friendly and helpful staff, great atmosphere, a lot of different activities during the day, plenty to keep you busy for the day. Thanks for all the amazing efforts of the animation team, Deni is an amazing Karate coach and also great at leading with her colleague all the beach activities like Boccia and Sjoelbak along with Football and Darts. Will definitely come back next year !! (Master Chef)

Very Nice Hotel, relaxed atmosphere, very good food. The Animation Team expecially deni is doing an amazing Job, always in good mood I had an extraordinary good Time there
24.06.2025 Tommy
Nice modern, clean hotel. fast check in and check out. Room was looking spotless. Nice shower with good warer pressure. gym was big and aircondicioned. lacking a few things though. Food was good, enough to choose from. Staff was superfast to clean your table, sometimes even too fast. would prefer a coffee machine to get my own coffee. Had to order from staff. Room was quiet. ( 4th floor, oceanview) could not hear neighbours, but sometimes people talking in the hallway only. Internet was working really fast without problems. pool area was good, but not enough sunbeds. I'd say around 50 beds only, and they were all taken by 9/10 am. then the beach would be the only option. Hotel layout was some wierd. mostly German and probably Romanias while I was there. around 1,5 km walk into the main area. all in all a good hotel experience.

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.
01.10.2024 Catalin
Very nice personnel, very nice rooms, good food. They clean the rooms often. Only a small downside--you have to go down and up some stairs to go to and back from the beach.
11.09.2024 Cristian
giving it one star as every day i have spent in there i wished i had stayed home.
- outdoor karaoke night after 23:00 on full volume to disturbe all hotel guests, are you serious?!
- beach bar "pcbeach" which BLASTS music (mostly manele) all night long even though they have zero clients!
- the hotel has extremly poor noise isolation on the outdoor windows and doors (even malfunctions), don't expect to have any kind of decent sleep with a constant 50 decibel noise level indoor.
05.09.2024 Roxana
I stayed 5nights with my kids( 4months and 5years) and I was very happy for my choice. The hotel is in a quiet area, the room is spatious and clean, the beach is very close and clean, the food is tasty and there is a special buffet for vegetarians/ vegans. The facilities for kids are not so many but you can keep them busy for a time ( every evening- 30 minutes mini disco, play area on the beach, children pool- you have to walk 50 m because is at the Sentido hotel). Not everything was perfect but overall was a nice holiday and probably we will comeback.
22.08.2024 Cosmin
Excellent location. Varied and always fresh food. Airy rooms. Exemplary cleanliness. Wife went to Yoga classes daily with Jasveer, a very kind and well trained guy. I hope next year when we come back to find him again. I recommend the hotels of the Grifid chain
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!
