    The staff, especially the young team members, were incredibly friendly and hardworking. They went above and beyond to ensure that we had a memorable holiday. We were delighted with the variety of delicious food available, catering to all tastes and even offering a range of drinks including alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails. The buffet-style meals served by attentive waiters made dining a pleasure. The hotel's close proximity to the beach, with its beautiful soft sand and clean water, was another highlight of our stay. We could easily walk there in just 5 minutes, making it incredibly convenient for us to enjoy the seaside.

    This hotel is highly recommended for everyone.

    Located in a quiet area, perfect for kids, this hotel is just a few minutes away from the beach. The rooms are clean with a fair-sized bathroom, equipped with a good air-conditioner that doesn't make any noise. , the breakfast is free, and there are always ice-cream and beverages during meals. The hotel offers training devices and a sandy playground for football or volleyball, where you can enjoy the day with your family and friends.

    The animation activities are not enough for young people.

    Location and friendly staff

    I recently stayed at a hotel in Golden Sands and the location was great. It was just a short walk to the beach and close to the nightlife. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, which made the stay more enjoyable. the hotel had a nice swimming pool and free Wi-Fi.

    The food at the hotel was not good. It was cheap and tasted like it was made from frozen or fast food packages.

    We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The hotel facilities were superb - we particularly enjoyed the outdoor pool and the bars. The location of the hotel was perfect since it was relatively close to the beach and in a valley which provided stunning views. The cleanliness of the hotel was top-notch which made us feel comfortable and safe. Also, the staff were friendly and accommodating, and the breakfast was a delight. this hotel offered an excellent experience which made us want to come back.

    Nothing everything was great.

    The location was perfect, being very close to the beach. The room was spacious and clean, and we even received a sweet champagne surprise upon arrival. The staff at the reception, especially Nikol, were extremely friendly and helpful. We definitely want to come back to this amazing place.

    We highly recommend this hotel to anyone. It offers excellent service, comfortable rooms, and a great location near the beach.

    The room was spacious and clean, with comfortable beds. The sea view was amazing, and the pool was nice and clean. The hotel was also close to the beach and the town center, making it convenient for exploring. One more advantage was the beach bar, which had a nice atmosphere.

    The food was quite boring, and the choice of free drinks and cocktails was limited. The staff would even pick up empty dishes from the table without asking, which was a bit off-putting.

    I recently spent a weekend at a hotel in a popular holiday destination. The location was ideal, just a short walk away from the beach and with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The room was spacious and clean, with comfortable beds and good air conditioning. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which had a wide variety of options including fresh fruit and pastries.

    The hotel had some downsides. The staff were not always friendly or helpful, and the pool area was not well-maintained - there were dirty towels left on the sun loungers and the pool itself did not seem very clean.

    I recently stayed at this luxurious hotel and I was thoroughly impressed! The location was perfect - it was in a quiet area which was great for the kids, but still close enough to reach the beach and Sunny Beach for some shopping. The hotel offered a variety of services including room service, car hire, and laundry, which made my stay even more convenient. The room itself was spacious and clean, with a comfortable bed and all the amenities I needed. Plus, the free Wi-Fi was a bonus!

    I would highly recommend this hotel to my family and friends. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and the staff were friendly and helpful.
