Hotels near sea shore in Golden Sands

The only area for improvement is breakfast variety; while it’s tasty and plentiful, a bit more rotation in the morning dishes would make it perfect. Pools & Beach The pool facilities are excellent

So perhaps people have been too quick to take staff not being fluent English speakers for rudeness, and have forgotten to consider they may just need a moment to get their heads around what you’re saying

I found the staff to be not just warm and friendly but one of the managers, Nina Neshkova, could not have been more kind and she made me feel cared for, truly impressive for a hotel of this size

I think the only thing I actually did in the 10 days we were there was change the towels every day, the beds maybe twice I don’t take the bins. The 2 cups and two glasses were never changed

She was warm, welcoming, incredibly helpful and extremely efficient and she guided me to the right members of her team to get the sessions I needed and loved

While it is exceptional to find one person as good as Nina, I found two. The manager of the Spa, Maia Ivanova, also deserves special mention

Aside from these the pool and beach are nice and big, and the actual hotel it's well maintained

With LEVEL bracelets you have access to everything in the hotel, including free Ice cream and a private pool and beds in the pool area which is very very nice. The food in the restaurant though is AWFUL

The hotel can acomodate a huge number of people, but there are not enough sunbeds, so you have to chase a place with a big chance to not finding one at 8 am in the morning

We stayed for 4 nights and at the dinner the food changed a bit every day: pasta, shrimps, fish, which was good. Now the bad things: Not enough sunbeds

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

Hotel Admiral in Golden Sands stands out with its central location and elegant atmosphere. Situated right on the beachfront, it’s a perfect choice for a seaside holiday

Everything was very nice, we had a great time! The food was delicious and with a great variety. The staff was friendly, the room very spacious and clean. The pools and water slides are also great! Thanks

No info outside that children have to be 140 cm to ride alone. some slides they ride home they cant here. They told us that all was opend but 25% was closed. Overall it was ok but i could be better

The only reason I gave the workers 2 stars is because the animation team is wonderful. They make program and make this hotel worth at least some stars, but this is DEFINETLY not a 4 star hotel

The workers are okay, depends on who you get, the cleaner in the main area is just not good with people and tells and the managers do nothing about it

I understand that it's more work but this is a presumably 4star hotel, they should get paid enough and have enough workers for it

You eat drink out of plastic cups, no decency to give you real glasses and when you do use a real glass the workers glare at you

Private beach belonging to the hotel is one of the biggest perks of this hotel. I've always found at least one free sunbed every time I visited it

There's also a beach bar there, it consists of a coffee machine, soft drinks dispenser and a beer tap. Sadly no toilet or a water tap to wash sand down from your feet on the beach

The beach is located right next to the hotel. Really, the location of the hotel was very good. It was also close to the center of Golden Sands, including bars and clubs

Some people said that they couldn't sleep because they heard parties at night - and yes, you can definitely hear them if you sleep with an open window, but if you close the balcony door you don't hear a thing

I didn't mind these noises at all, if anything they even helped me sleep haha. The hotel also has two pools - 1 outdoor and 1 indoor

A private beach!!!, umbrellas, deck chairs. Beach bar.

- coffee - acceptable to good depending on what you choose on the machine - pool with lots of chairs and shade from umbrellas and huge trees - 2 lifeguards during the day - pool bar - nice staff, very good ice cream, good cookies during serving hours -staff pretty young and helpful, did their job very well - reception looks very nice with a lot of seats inside and outside on the terrace - saw there...

-10 sunbeds on the beach - huge con if you come for the sand and the sea - gym - very old , not sure anyone worked out there during my stay - for those minding exercising or climbing stairs: around 50 stair climb from the beach to the hotel All in all pleasant experience with good food, had a good time with my friends

The stairs to the beach weren’t great but i know it’s not their fault. I would recommend to anyone who wants to visit Golden Sands. See you next year Golden Beach Park Hotel👋👋👋

Good parking, guarded, variated food but not every day, staff ok too our needs, very polite, room big bathroom old, good pool, bar ok.

Super experience, I feel in love with one if the receptionist(dalia the Bulgarian chick), everyone was very polite and helped with everything I asked for. The food was amazing, especially the pizza😍😍😍😋😋😋

Great facilities, spacious rooms, friendly service! Yes, I had to walk down to the beach, bit I was able to enjoy the great sunrises on my balcony! Very happy, can only recommend!

For a higher end hotel I did not find it very good, nearly all the staff where very rude, the food was ok we ate out most nights mainly catered for Germans, no entertainment was on the whole 2 weeks, the room was nice beds made everyday towels changed every day the cleaner stole my mama glasses and when she asked her she said she had not seen them then they appeared back on the bedside table, the poolside...

During my stay at the hotel I liked my stay I liked the service of the staff but especially the animation. I talked to Vanessa one of the animators and I had fun playing the games

WiFi is perfect!!!! No problems even on the way to the hotel! Empty dishes are removed in a restaurant with lightning speed. The rooms are large, clean, updated

They are always smiling and give me energy

The food was good, the lifeguards cleaned the pool and the pool area every day and they were always helpful , the bartenders were polite and did their job with smile and the animation team did games for kids and night show for adults!

The lifeguards cept the pool clean and the one with the tattoo’s help me and my daughter who got dizzy

The view from the room was excellent, the indoor pool nice, flexibility and kindness of staff and good breakfast !

Yes I stayed at hotel SHIPKA for 14 nights from 31st May until -4th June 2024 I want to say thank you to all the staff especially NADA, VENERA, and the Bar staff and to MUMCHIL who got a chair for me me to sit round the swimming pool as the sun beds are to low for me the staff are a credit to this hotel Also the food is excellent the only complaint I have about the food and I raised this with NADA...

Sunny Beach was good place to relax. The people in Bulgaria are fine. Food and grocery are expensive! However, Hotel Shipka did not offer any night entertainment or excursions tours

The rooms are a bit small, there's not a lot of space for your belongings, but if you plan on spending most of your time on the seaside or touring the city, then it won't bother you, like it didn't bother us

The outside and indoors pools were really nice and clean as well, although the water was a bit cold at first, but still enjoyable

The poolside bar was really clean, and whenever there was a crowd there, the manager/owner would help out so everyone got what they wanted in due time

From reception to housekeeping, from restaurant service to the bar, and through the family-friendly activities and pool entertainment, every department contributed to a stay that was both comfortable and memorable

It is not very close to the sea beach ( about 10-15 minutes walk away) but it is in a green, higher-up position which in a hot summer is a big plus. The whole hotel is very clean

Most of them are frozen food, the variety is not satisfactory, they don't use seasonings (especially salt). I ate the same food every meal. The waiters were overworked and disorganized

It has a outdoor not very large swimming pool. And it has a relatively small indoor pool

The rooms were okay, I really enjoyed the comfortable bed. The bathroom was also nice, but there wasn't enough soap, and when we complained about the lack of soap, they simply took it out and replaced it with the shampoo

I liked it! It is not luxury but it is above good. The food was good and plenty of it. It has a bar and it seemed nice and enjoyable for those who like to have a drink or two or more

They even gave me a diploma for winning the table tennis contest and announced it at the microphone, it was a touching moment for me. The hotel is under renovation and is being rebranded as Hotel Regina

The rooms were a bit dated, but the view of the sea from the 14th floor was impressive. The rest of the hotel looked very good. The pool supposedly had mineral water, indeed I didn't feel excessive chlorine

It was good value for money. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel have a new management from 2025 and besides old reviews that I read, now everything was great, the rooms, the pool and food.

I liked my stay in the hotel very much. The rooms and the food were okay but what made my holiday was the animators Reni and Melek, who were very nice and played very cool music by the pool

And honourable mention for the best beach they have here in Bulgaria, I really enjoyed my time there

Food was great, everything you could desire, especially the cakes were my favorites

The hotel is excellent, the sea is wonderful, the food is excellent. There was a very large selection of food.

I was in this place for a couple of days and I had great experience. I had a lot of fun with the amazing animation team, which I admire truly. The girls were amazing!! We would love to see them again

The restaurant's food is incredibly tasty every day, but it would be desirable. The hotel is an old one and some equipment in the rooms and in other places that require it should already be changed

But the most fun in my experience here were the animators, who are very dedicated to their work, they will never leave you busy, you will always have something to learn from them

I'm glad I chose this place because I chose with some special friends, Yani, Deni, Alex, Kris, Poly I love everyone ❤️

All i can say for my 4 days in this hotel is that the Animation team was incredible, we had i lot of fun with the, diverse activities.I will mention Kris and Alex for the fantastic work they did to animate the tourist!!!

The hotel was quiet due to it being the end of their season which meant a lot of the local shops, bars and restaurants has closed (no fault of the hotel, we didn’t do our research and assumed the season would continue into October - something to be mindful of if you’re booking in 2024)

Rooms were clean enough, towels were changed daily on aour apartment even though I have seen complaints in reviews regarding this subject. As a plus, there were two bathrooms in the suite

We were accommodated at 4th floor, we could hear some music but not loud enough to be disturbing in any way. Downsides: Parking is not included, price is 20 lv / day. The drinks could do with some improvement

Nice please and relaxed evening around the pool with the lovely singing! Update 2025 For the second year we have a great time here, the food is varied and delicious, the staff is very kind, the rooms are cleaned well and we dance to mixes of international music that you can't hear anywhere else, and the singer is from last year and we were very happy to see her!

The food was plenty even if you arrived later and it was tasty also. The beach is 5 minutes walk, the only disadvantage is that there are some abrupt stairs on the way

The rooms were very clean, and when they clean it every day they really clean them, not just changing the towels. The food excellent, a lot of choices and the variety of drinks that u don't have time to try all of them

The hotel is large, but neat and clean. The room, bathroom and balcony are large and spacious. There was a great view of the sea. There are 3 restaurants: Asian, Italian and casual cuisine

The food is for everyone’s taste, at dinner we could book a table every day at the Italian and Asian restaurant, where you can find different types of food compare tot the main restaurant and the advantage that I personally liked was that it wasn’t crowded as in the main restaurant

Pools kind of crowded, lots of kids. Restaurants, crowded, but passable, you sometimes need to wait in line like a minute. Usually more, for (passable) coffee

The beverages were ok, tastable. The room was very clean, they cleaned the room every day and change the sheets one time in our staying(5 days). Also, they would bring water and bath supplies every day to refill the room

I really liked it here, good food, lots of choices, the pool with a bar that I could see right from the window along with the sea. The staff was very friendly, I forgot something at the hotel and Mrs

Also, we celebrated the birthday of one of our friend and they offered to gift us a mini cake with candles and a bottle of sampain to sing happy birthday to him

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...

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

Room was spacious and clean, everyday very good room service and filling the minibar was great! Food excellent

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

Beautiful hotel with a lovely pool, great rooms (sea-view from bed), very clean

Very nice hotel. The kitchen is great, thanks to the chef! Me, my wife, 2 young children are very happy. Great animation, Dayan is a real showman! Very cool sea view from the room, the whole panorama of the Golden Sands!

We traveled as a group of 20 people and had a fantastic stay. The rooms were excellent – renovated, spacious, and well-equipped (fridge, kettle, TV, air conditioning)

We stayed mostly on the pools as they have 3 on one side and a 4th one on the other side of the hotel which is called relax pool and it's really quite there. And a 5th one that is covered if the weather is bad

Bathrooms came with a full set of toiletries, which was a nice touch. The facilities make it easy to enjoy your time even on rainy days, thanks to the indoor pool and spa

Morning games by the pool, fun activities for the kids, and amazing evening shows — they managed to keep everyone, young and old, entertained

Even small requests were handled quickly by the team. The beach is close by and they have a shuttle for the people that don't want to walk

If you are seeking a peaceful and welcoming retreat, this hotel is the perfect choice for a truly memorable stay

Regarding room cleanliness, our room was only cleaned twice during our one-week stay. The food was repetitive and often cold, and the staff were generally unfriendly

The SPA and the massage I got were perfect – I felt like a new person afterwards. The indoor pool was warm and clean, and my room was nice and spotless. I definitely recommend it and will come back again!

On the positive side, the best parts of the hotel were the swimming pool and the entertainment

I had a great stay at the hotel and I was really happy with everything! The staff was super friendly, understanding, and always ready to help with anything

Whether it's for a professional spa treat to your body or a weekend retreat, you'll never be disappointed in Allegra!!!

The sea was quite far away, the food didn’t suit everyone in my family, and the air conditioner and fridge in our room didn’t work. The reception girls were nice and polite, always helping as much as they could

The pool was good, but I didn’t like that smoking was allowed right by the water where my kids were swimming. One evening, I noticed a situation where my favorite always-smiling, cheerful bartenders looked very sad (Mr

Me and my brother have been coming to hotel Kristal since we were 10 years old with our grandparents. This year we turned 26 and we still chose to spend a splendid holiday with the exceptional staff at hotel Kristal

I am very pleased with morninggymnastik, and wateraeribics. Very lovely and super instructors, Bobi and Monica. Also the Food was good, and a lot too choose. Very fun with musiccompetion on evening, and shows on stage

We spent a few days there and everything was excellent – the rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff was always kind and helpful, and the animation team made our time even more enjoyable

Excellent services, really clean areas, delicious food, an abundace of fun activities. what more could you ask for? Hotel Kristal will always be our home away from home

✅ Positives: • The outdoor area is very diverse and fun, with beautiful pools, water slides, and plenty of entertainment for kids

Review of Prestige Deluxe Hotel Aquapark Club – Golden Sands, Varna, Bulgaria We recently stayed at Prestige Deluxe Hotel Aquapark Club in Golden Sands, and overall, it was a very enjoyable experience for our family

Because of her and the wonderful service she provided, I will definitely be coming back to this hotel in the future! If you're looking for a place where you're treated like a VIP, this is it

I’d like to share both the positives and areas for improvement in the spirit of honest and respectful feedback

Thank you again, Mariana! ❤️✨

This hotel was alright. I probably wouldn’t go back.

Everything was just perfect! The reception staff , the restaurant staff very pleasant, kind and friendly! Just 30m from the beach!

Big rooms, good quality of service, tasty and various food, free parking lot, clean pool and a lot of drinks!

Beautiful view of the beach, nice clean rooms, most amenities available, their Steakhouse is very tasty. But room service is absolutely rubbish

I recently stayed at hotel Ambassador for just one night, and it exceeded my expectations. The room was spotless, clean, and very comfortable. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and professional

Though my stay was short, I had time to enjoy a delicious breakfast in the morning. The location was also convenient

No cleaning, no making up of beds, even after saying it to the staff and reception, they just cleared the dustbins, no other cleaning at all

A lot of tourists from Germany. They are very noisy. Not yet the season. You can imagine what will happen in June...

The food was average, there was the variety of choices like for example for breakfast pancakes, sausages, bakery products, vegetables etc. No threats of poisoning as some others wrote here

There are several food stores nearby. there is a swimming pool and a small play area for children. The rooms are spacious, but the furniture is not very new. There are problems in the bathroom with the shower

Nice stay ! All staff members were very friendly and welcoming. +5⭐ for the awesome Vencislav !!!

The room are clean and are more than ok ! The animation staff are really friendly and make good job, but the barkeepers are really unfriendly, never see such unfriendly people ! The meal aren't good, happy come back home or eat out of the hotel

They aren't stingy with the alcool. So if the barkeepers were a little bit friendly and meal were better, were the this a TOP hotel, but in the circumstance only 3-3,5 stars

We are looking forward to seeing how the 2nd week goes. Update from 2nd week: Overall our stay was very positive. The indoor pool was nice and warm for the kids, especially for the colder days

The pool is very small and insufficient for the hotel’s capacity—I am referring to both the indoor and outdoor pools. the food was okay and varied, but there were queues every time. I also believe it is too small

she called a cleaning man to clean the water and then came a tehnician to "fix" the problem, that said to put towels on the floor and call everytime a cleaning men ( wich buy the way yo have a policy to not do that writen on the bathroom wall) it was very rude

Animation team is great!! We played darts and we laughed a lot! Everything is wonderful! Every service here is 10 out of 10. Thanks for a great family vacation!

The rooms are super clean and well equipped! All the entertainers put on exceptional shows! Simon the best!!!

While some dishes stand out more than others, there’s always something suitable for everyone. It reminded me a bit of our stay at the Barut Acanthus Hotel in Side, though on a slightly simpler scale
