Commençons par le positif : La chambre. Elle est spacieuse, avec une bonne literie. Un bureau et un canapé complètent le mobilier ; un pouf mériterait d’être remplacé par une chaise. Voilà c’est tout ! Passons au négatif : tout le reste. Le hall de l’hôtel est froid, inexpressif. Pas un fauteuil pour se relaxer, seuls des poufs en plastique et des banquettes inconfortables sont à disposition. Ce qui sert de bar n’engage pas à consommer. Le personnel ne sourit pas, semble craindre quelque chose ou quelqu’un. La restauration ou plutôt ce qui est proposé pour se nourrir, est peu ragoutante : de la viande bouillie, resservie le soir ou le lendemain sous une autre forme. Elle n’est pas diversifiée : poulet et porc. Parfois quelque chose annoncée comme étant du poisson. Peu de fruits à disposition hormis des pommes vertes impossibles à peler. La boisson alcoolisée locale au bar permettrait de remplacer le glyphosate dans mon jardin. Bref ce fut ma plus mauvaise expérience depuis que je voyage ; ce dernier étant le 61ème ! Je déconseille fortement cet établissement

We stayed here at the end of September for 5 nights. 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). The food and spa were the highlights of our holiday. The spa staff were super friendly and helpful and we made sure to make use of the facilities and treatments on offer. Would recommend the Turkish bath, it was incredible! The price of the treatments were so cheap compared to the U.K. you can pay cash or card which is handy too. The food was so flavoursome and we had something different each night. If you’re a fussy eater or expecting 20+ difference choices this isn’t the place for you. There was enough choices but each dish was delicious and the cakes were little mouthfuls of heaven. Overall the hotel was very modern and clean and is in a great location to walk to the beach. Even with it being quiet we felt extremely safe strolling around. Down by the beachfront there are some lovely shops and bars, it’s a lovely easy stroll. We took the 409 bus into Varna (approx 45 mins journey) and hired electric scooters to explore. We’d recommend wandering the garden, it’s beautiful and lots for kids to do. The staff were generally very helpful, a big shout out to Vanka (I hope that’s how you spell it) on reception who was extremely helpful in trying to sort an issue with our transfer back to the airport. Only negative experienced were the cleaners were slightly rude and staff weren’t always at the bar around the pool, we imagine this was down to it being out of season. We would definitely return to the hotel and make the most of the spa and facilities again next year.

We spent 6 days at this hotel with family and child. Nice and clean rooms. Friendly staff. Good food and lots of it. It's a great experience. A good place for groups of friends but also for families with children. I noticed a very good organization. I also work in tourism and I can appreciate it when employees do their best with tourists to have a good time.

I was transfered from another hotel and couldn't have asked to have been looked after any better, the staff are wonderful and happy to help. You are a 2 minute walk to the beach, with lots of bars and shops on hand. Valya works behind the reception bar and is a treasure, and an asset to the hotel. The food is buffet style and plenty of choice and decent open hours, the staff are all friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend and would come back again.

L’hôtel est en piteux état, il n’est pas entretenu et résultat : beaucoup de services proposés ne sont en réalité pas dispo. Pas de restaurant à la carte. Pas de piscine intérieure. Réseau WIFI médiocre. Salle de sport dont les murs sont moisis et dont 4 appareils sur 5 ne fonctionnent pas. Restauration horrible !!! Très peu de choix, très peu de goût et c’est très redondant. Vous avez à peine le temps de finir de manger qu’on vous retire votre assiette. Impression de déranger… Hôtel très bruyant, merci à tous les jeunes soûlards (allemands) pour cela. Aucun respect ou savoir vivre. Ça défile en criant dans les couloirs toute la nuit. Très bruyant également car juste en face se situent boîtes de nuits et bar à *****tease. Les transats et les magnifiques parasols pepsi/sprite sont dans un état lamentable et sales, tout comme la piscine et ses abords. Impossible de profiter d’un moment reposant à la piscine : du matin au soir ils diffusent un semblant de musique club/techno TRÈS (TRÈS) fort. Le personnel est désagréable, ne dit pas bonjour et ne décroche pas un sourire. Les jus de fruits sont fait avec 98% d’eau. Les cocktails contiennent une MONSTRUEUSE quantité d’alcool bas de gamme, si bien qu’ils ont tous le même goût horrible et qu’ils donnent mal à la tête dès le 1er verre. La clim laisse à désirer. Les masseuses ne doivent pas être qualifiées, elles sont très brusques, font mal et cerise sur le gâteau : une d’elle a éternué et j’ai reçu ses postillons sur le dos. Quel pur moment de détente… J’oubliais : que cela soit au bar de la réception ou celui de la piscine, on vous sert dans des gobelets, vraiment pas digne d’un 4 étoiles et vraiment pas écolo… Cet hôtel kitsch est fait pour les soûlards/fetards allemands, au détriment du reste de la clientèle qui n’est vraiment pas considérée… Je déconseille fortement et n’arrive vraiment pas à comprendre les avis positifs.

Vom 13 bis 20.7 befand ich mich in diesem Hotel. Ich hatte keine Erwartungen, da ich hier mit meinen Freunden zum Party Urlaub da war. Empfangen wurden wir recht nett, jedoch hat die Hotelangestellte an der Rezeption schon sehr stark gedrängt. Die Zimmer haben zuerst einen guten Eindruck gemacht, es ist kein Luxusappartement aber es lässt sich gut leben. Glücklicherweise hatten wir Poolblick und der Balkon war groß genug, dass 10 Leute dort noch gemütlich Platz finden konnten. Beim Blick auf das Bad viel auf, dass das Bad zwar modern war, jedoch in allen Fugen und Ecken recht viel Dreck lag. Außerdem wurde das Bad von den Reinigungskräften nie sauber gemacht. Das Essen: Das Essen kann man recht gut essen, das Buffet ist ausreichend und manchmal waren dort viele Leckere Dinge. Besonders gefallen haben mir die Frischkäsegerichte die in Form von Bällchen oder Röllchen serviert wurden. Eine Sache hat mich jedoch schockiert: So gut wie jedes Fleisch was "live" vom Koch gebraten wurde, war nicht durch. Als ich zur sicherheit eine Frikadelle aufgeschnitten habe war ich total schockiert: Es war komplett Roh. Nicht rosa, sondern einfach kaltes Hack. Das ist wirklich gefährlich. Als ich den Koch freundlich drauf hingewiesen habe hat er sich sehr defensiv verhalten, aber als mein Teller von den Kellnern weggebracht wurde hat man den Schock in ihren Augen gesehen. Die Barkeeper waren alle im Kontrast zu dem restlichen Service sehr sehr freundlich, obwohl sie sich mit betrunkenen und respektlosen Hotelgästen rumschlagen mussten. Die Getränke waren OK, nichts besonderes aber auch keine Katastrophe. Die Poolanlage ist völlig okay, in den Ecken hat sich sehr viel Sand gesammelt und in dem seichten Becken waren schon Sandberge zu sehen. Aber alles in einem Ausreichend. Die Liegen sind auch ok, die Schirme leider alle kaputt, da die Sockeln, die eigentlich mit Wasser befüllt sein sollten, meistens leer waren. Somit flogen die ein oder anderen Schirme quer durch die sonnenbadenen Menschen. Die Lage ist wirklich top, man ist nur einen recht gefährlichen Treppenabstieg von der Strandpromenade entfernt. Jetzt der große minus Punkt: Mittags, wo mein Kumpel und ich uns ausgeruht haben, kam ohne Vorwarnung eine Rezeptionistin rein und hat uns in einem sehr unschönen und unprofessionelen Ton aufgefordert. Wir mussten scheinbar 50 Lewa Strafe zahlen, weil wir laut Ihr innendrin Geraucht haben. Das haben wir natürlich nicht gemacht, der Rauchmelder hätte uns schnell verraten. Es gab auch an sich keine Hinweise auf Benutzung von Tabakwaren oder E Zigaretten im Zimmer. Ich habe die Strafe nicht bezahlt, und bin sehr wütend über den Umgang mit mir, obwohl wir immer mit Respekt alle behandelt haben. Direkt in unserem Gang waren eine sehr laute und schlimme Gruppe. Scheinbar dachte Sie, dass wir dazu gehören und wollte uns auch bestrafen. Sowas geht gar nicht und deswegen gebe ich alles in einem 1 Stern. Ich hoffe für das Personal dass Sie sich in ihrem Umgang mit de
