International Hotel Casino & Tower Suites ★★★★★

📍 72MV+V7, Front Beach Alley, Golden Sands

"Its a very big hotel that is the heart of golden sand, when this might suits lot of people i would say its mainly for people who like gambling and its a hotel that is 24 hours alive, the buffet is very good and the young girl in the reception with curly hair is outstanding ( can’t recall her name unfortunately) she did help a lot in every single aspect, the hotel is good if you looking for a place in the heart of golden sand but be prepared for a big crowd for breakfast and around the elevators and most facilities, the coffee capsules are not free which is not acceptable for 5* hotel, the reason i guess is to buy coffee from the costa coffee at the lobby area, the lack of separation between our balcony and the balcony next door is annoying because we had cigarettes smoke constantly entering the room, also there was no privacy in the balcony. Overall it was a decent stay for a place like Varna where there isn’t much choice."

"Where to start with this hotel…. One of the worst places we have ever stayed. Upon arrival the hotel looked absolutely gorgeous. Clean lobby, modern feel to it. When we got to the desk to check in, the lady wanted our “voucher”. We said we don’t have a voucher but we have our confirmation email. Which she asked to be emailed to her. So we did and her response was “if it doesn’t work I will need you to return to reception tomorrow to speak with the manager”. We couldn’t understand why they didn’t have our booking details… After this, we walked up to our room. Upon entering we were met with a very worn out old carpet. Two single beds, even though we booked a double room. Wet hairs stuck to the bathroom tiles. Honestly it was a grim room to have to walk into. We had paid extra for a room upgrade and this certainly didn’t feel like an upgrade. We went back to reception to ask if we could have the beds put together or be changed to a different room. The lady said it wasn’t possible as there was no one to put the beds together and she could do a room change when the manager was back the next day. We got fed up and said to forget it as we wanted to unpack and get settled. The next day we got up and went for breakfast. What a joke, food was inedible, dry and so so soooo salty. Every single meal was like this. I don’t know if the food is tasted before it goes out to the guests but my guess is, it isn’t. We couldn’t eat a full meal at all at the hotel because it was so disgusting. After paying for all inclusive, you would expect to be given edible food. Not salty mush. The only nice part about the food was the salad and desserts, which I guess are bought in. Onto the staff. All rude. No hello as you order a drink, no thank you, no asking how you are. Just eye rolling and dirty looks. The guy at the pool seemed as if he wanted to be anywhere else but at this job. We went for a couples massage. Both me and my partner had the same massage except he didn’t seem to have gotten touched up his bottom and under his shorts. The guy who did my massage seemed to focus a lot of my bum, kept putting his hand on it and shaking me side to side. If this is a “massage” why did the other guy massaging my parter not do it to him?? WiFi terrible. Cuts out every 2/3 mins. Leak coming from the bath everytime we showers which went into the bedroom and caused a soggy carpet. Absolutely avoid this hotel at all costs. One plus to this hotel is the view from the balcony. Sleeping with the door open was lush as you could hear the waves."

"Hotel îs clean , service and food very good. Unfortunately the state of the rooms are not as good…we found some bathroom appliances with rust and worst of all was a broken shelf in the bathroom with which I injured myself very badly cutting my finger."

Arena Mar Hotel and Spa

Arena Mar Hotel and Spa ★★★★

📍 Golden Sands, Golden Sands

"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. "

"I called last evening maintenance at the reception to tell them in the bedroom air is unbreatheble and to fix the AC either to open window(which that one aswell its blocked) nothing been fixed , workman said "tomorrow" never came back. The ceiling bit which is covering the AC from bedroom has been left open, unsafe for a child to step in the bedroom."

"I agree that the receptionist doesn’t understand how to attend costumers. The dining room (all inclusive) was annoyance . People have to go and get their food and drinks and so on.. Three times my food was taken away from the table while I was getting coffee or dessert. Even after my 1..complaint it still went on. Internet is rather bad and weak. But à great place to be"

Umani Hotel - Free Beach - Free Parking ★★★★

📍 Dimitar Hadzhiyanev Str, Golden Sands

"The hotel is situated in a wonderful location – by the sea and surrounded by a forest. The garden and pool create an oasis-like atmosphere, thanks to the beautiful design and the surrounding trees. The facade and interior are unique, and the view from the rooms offers a full panorama of the sea. The service is excellent, and the staff is very attentive. The hotel is an ideal place for those seeking tranquility, nature, and luxury all in one."

Marina Grand Beach Hotel - All Inclusive Plus ★★★★
"Our experience was far below the level we expected from a hotel of this category. Unfortunately, the problems were not isolated, but affected almost all important areas of the hotel: reception, rooms, restaurant, pools and facilities. Reception and services: The reception is frequently served by a single person, even when a queue of 3–4 customers forms. In these conditions, the waiting time can easily reach 10–15 minutes. Cleanliness: The general cleanliness is superficial, both in the rooms and in the common areas. We even found dead insects in the bathroom of the room. The carpet is stained, and the furniture in the rooms shows an advanced degree of wear. Restaurant and food: The culinary offer is very limited and repetitive, practically the same food being served throughout the stay. Some dishes are excessively salty or spiced in an unusual way. Even the usual hotel products, such as honey or mustard, are missing. The coffee machines are also far below expectations: instead of decent coffee, they mainly offer powdered drinks, often overly sweet. During meals, there is often a lack of cutlery. Worse, we encountered insufficiently washed cutlery and crockery, with stains and even food scraps. The tables in the restaurant are often stained and not properly cleaned before being occupied by the next customers. The clearing of dishes is very slow, so the tables remain laden with used plates and glasses for a long time. The atmosphere created effectively discourages you from staying after the meal to enjoy a drink in peace. Wi-Fi: The Wi-Fi connection is practically non-functional. It does not work properly even in the lobby and even less so in the rooms, regardless of the time we tried to use it. Rooms: We booked two accommodations – an apartment and a double room – and in both cases the safes were faulty and could not be fixed. There was also an issue with water dripping from the ceiling in one of the rooms, apparently from the indoor air conditioning system. This issue was later fixed by the staff. Outdoor pool: The water in the outdoor pool appears clean, but the area around it leaves a lot to be desired. The paving is not washed and cleaned sufficiently throughout the day, despite the high customer traffic. Some sun loungers are damaged or broken and inexplicably continue to be left for guests to use instead of being repaired or replaced. Children's pool – safety issue: This is one of the issues we consider to be the most serious. In the children's pool area, some steps and tiles are broken, chipped or chipped. The areas in question were not properly signposted, with a real risk that a child or even an adult could get hurt or cut their leg. The area near the playground also has obvious cleanliness problems. Indoor pool: Although at first glance the water appears clean, the overall impression of the area is exactly the opposite. The pavement and the spaces where customers should place their towel or bathrobe are dirty. In addition, "

Prestige Hotel and Aquapark - All Inclusive ★★★★
"The worst experience in this "hotel" changed our understanding of the word "Prestige" (with which the place is named) forever. We stayed with family and friends and had five rooms for a whole hellish week. Thank you to "Tez tour" for the ruined vacation. First of all, I don't understand why the motel is called a five-star hotel?!🤯 The first impression is the entrance through a garbage dump, the service staff is not just incompetent, but complete not in place where they'rebelong. I even watched the cleaning lady directly attack the guests all week, harass them and constantly nag at everyone and just spoil the mood. Everywhere all drinks, coffee, tea, wine, beer, cocktails, etc. everything is made in thin plastic glasses, just mountains of plastic. A number of people have injured their feet in the loosen pool tiles and much more..."

"This hotel is overcrowded, which in itself isn't a problem, but as a result, the service is inadequate. The cleanliness of the rooms and especially the bedding is downright substandard. We had sheets with stains. The breakfast was very basic, and the coffee was undrinkable. Fortunately, there was an option for us to spend the time elsewhere."

"We went there with my family and close friends. Before going, we read comments saying the food was very good, but it wasn't. Some food was very greasy, for example, the spaghetti and pasta. There was sauce on the spaghetti, but you couldn't even taste it because of the oil. The pasta had melted and hardened cheese on top. We stayed for 3 days, and the same food was served for 3 days in a row; only a few options were different. The pool was very small. Swimming was really hard because before swimming, we always had to check in front of us and behind us so we wouldn't hit anyone. Also, when there was an activity in the pool, there was no space left for other people, so we had to get out all the time. Other than that, all the staff members I saw were respectful. This includes the staff who cleared the tables at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as the staff working at the pool bar and the lobby bar. They were always chatting with us and asking questions, which was really fun. We also liked the cleanliness of the rooms very much."

Grifid Vistamar Hotel - 24 Hours Ultra All Inclusive & Private Beach ★★★★
"Hello. This is my second time visiting this hotel. After a first wonderful experience, unfortunately, a very unpleasant one followed. Unfortunately, our experience at this hotel was extremely unpleasant and disappointing. During the stay between 06/07/2026 -11/06/2026 money disappeared from our room. The money was in the room, and their disappearance was found on the last day of their stay, I want to mention that until the last day the money was in the safe. I immediately noticed the situation of the hotel representatives and asked for explanations and verification of what had happened. We consider it absolutely unacceptable that a guest cannot feel safe in their own hotel room. Regardless of the circumstances, such situations should be treated with the utmost seriousness and transparency by the hotel management. Unfortunately, the way the situation was handled left us with a bitter taste and significantly affected the entire experience of the stay. After we stayed for about an hour because the IT department could not determine the person who used the access card for the camera (there are no rooms in the hallway) came the answer, that indeed someone opened the door around 10:00 just to check if we had cleared the room. I don't understand why someone has to check the room if the check-out is normally done at 11:00 - I think it could be announced at the reception when I left the cards and released the room... I recommend those who choose this hotel to be very careful with their personal belongings and to use the safe. Instead, I can say that the food was good and diversified as on the first visit."
