Superb
Location, the beach, the food, everything was great!
The fact that parking costs. $10 per day.
Pleasant
Beatiful view, we had sea view. Very nice personnel and good drinks
Parking spot only if you are lucky. No wifi in the room. The worst beach in the area, no lifeguard, you will see what i'm talking about. No social distancing at tables in this covid era and no food diversity.
Location was fine , rooms...
Everything about food is very very bad... all drinks as well. same food everyday
The all inclusive part about food and drinks.
Very poor
Location is with direct access to beach and yo promenade area.
No parking at hotel. Only 40 parking lots for 140 rooms. Also it is not free. Room had mold. The shower was not working. Common spaces very dirty. Personnel not trained and very poorly as services. No English.
Fair but not very good
The position of the hotel in the resort. The size of the room.
Cleanliness was average in common spaces. The food was also quite medium.
Mediocre experience
The cakes:) The room and the hotel were clean The location and the view The pools were nice
The check in process was absolutely awful and disorganised Most of the staff didn't speak any English The food was okay, not great not awful
Medium quality, expensive parking
The room was clean and spatious Very quiet AC The hotel position (beachfront)
The beach was not clean. The staff was not friendly. There was no variety of food. Bad organisation, a lot of people forming queues. Didn't like the chicken, because it was raw (sometimes) Very expensive parking. It was very crowded
Rooms large, beds comfy and food excellent.
We booked a Superior Deluxe Sea View Room 3 mos. before departure which was confirmed. However, when we got there we were not given the room we booked (sea view with a sofa), but placed in the back of the building. After much discussion and pointing out the room we booked in our voucher, we were given the proper room next day. But we lost 2 days of holiday because of this. Also because we stayed for 3 full weeks, it would have been nice to have a RESERVED table in the dining room, and not have to fight for a table for the meals.
Ne-ar the beach
Horrible food. Rooms are clean but don’t look very good. The balcony was above what seemed to be the kitchen, where they throw the remains of soup on the ground. Smelled terrible.
Very nice room and clean. Lovely outlook to the sea. Friendly staff
There’s nothing not to like
-Location is very nice, right on the beach, very close to the center of Golden Sands. -view from the room, bars and restaurant. Really amazing. -Very comfortable bed. -Some of the staff members were really nice, special thanks to the staff menager Mehmet. - ultra all inclusive, drinks 24/7 included, and you could always find something to eat at any time of the day, even at night. - food was tasty, later we got a little bit bored because it got repetitive, but that was not a big problem. And desserts were really tasty
-The whole property definitely needs renovation and better organization. Even though the room was nice, really big with sea view. - we had some problems with checking in and our payment, receptionist was VERY VERY VERY SLOW, and didn’t even know English properly. I think that this is unacceptable for receptionist. We had a really hard time understanding each other. (That one lady I don’t know her name, maybe others are better) -FRENCH people. I noticed a lot of discrimination, since everything was in French, the animation team only speaks french, and with french people. They were really friendly with them. And we felt left out and they did not even say HELLO at least once. (If I am not from France and do not wear orange bracelet, that doesn’t meant that I could not understand you) They would avoid us and only approach to french. Everything was in french. Okay I understand that, and I do not expect every language to be included. But at least it would be nice if they used English in their team, as universal language. Or be polite to OTHER PEOPLE. And animation team was really ANNOYING while scouting french people for animations.
food was good
one old elevator to 7th floor-must wait 10min for it with a baby stroller..big dissapointment was very dirty private beach every morning..room was not very clean too..
Nothing
They don’t have a bigger car park
Food
Cleaning missing
We loved the location of the hotel; right on the beach and a 5-10min walk on the promenade to the center of Golden Sands. The beach was pretty clean, and the sea was also clean and awesome to swim in. We actually really liked the food - especially breakfast and dinner. It wasn't completely different every day, but there was an ok variety of it. It's nice that they have the open terrace, so we sat outside for every meal and enyojed the view on the sea. As all inclusive guest you always have fresh water and alchoholic and non-alchoholic drinks by hand - which are also quite good may I add. The room was clean, which is my biggest concern anywhere I go. The maids were definitely the nicest and frendliest out of all staff and they did a great job with cleaning and tidying up our room. The staff behind the bar and at the reception were also kind of friendly and eager to help. Beach, shops, food, friendly people - go and explore it, we were actually pleasantly surprised about everything, as it was much better than some of the reviews say - and that goes for the whole Golden Sands, not just the hotel. I'd definitely recommend a visit to Golden Sands, no matter in which hotel you'll stay - but I would recommend the Kaliakra Palace hotel as well, since it's actually a nice value for the money.
The beach part that belongs to Kaliakra hotel was a little dirtier than the neighbour's ones, also the sun beds could be cleaned at least quickly every morning - we cleaned them ourselves everyday, which is not a big deal, but I think it's still the hotel's job to take care of that. A lot of kitchen staff doesn't smile or say anything when you thank them - it feels like they're in a bad mood all the time or they're just sick of their job. You run into some like that at the reception as well - no smiles or kind words. I guess ti depends on who you run into. Although the room was clean, it was clearly dated, because we had a carpet and dark curtains in our room. The bathroom is quite functional but in need of a handy man to tighten some nails - part of the shower fell out, the shelf in under the mirror kind of fell in my hand, the toilet made squeaky sounds everytime you sat and stood up. A 10min maintance visit would fix all of that. However, we paid an insanely low price for this hotel beacuse we caught a special discount, so I wasn't really mad about all that. There are definitely way nicer rooms with a nicer view in the Kaliakra hotel (we saw them when they were cleaning them and the doors were open), so don't be discouraged to pay a bit more and actually enjoy and see why this hotel has 4*. Oh, just forget about using the elevator - there's 2 small ones for max. 4 people, so we rather walked the stairs then throw away an hour a day on waiting for the empty elevator. As I said, no big deals or big problems, but it's not the same as a 4* hotel in Greece, which you can expect of course. I, however, still recommend it.
Reasonable food, for sure you will find something on your taste; two medium pools and one small pool for kids; large room, large beds.
Poor cleanliness; only two elevators which were dirty and very slow; just 120 sunbeds for 240 rooms; damaged furniture in our room. If you want to have a sunbed (on the beach or near the pool) you will have to wake up very early (5 a.m.) because many tourists are `reserving` them by putting towels on them starting with 4.30 a.m.. Until 9 a.m. you will find many of them only with towels - this is not something that the manager of the hotel can manage, unfortunately.
Place on the beach. Stuff was ok
The room was not so clean
The food is diversified. You can't say you don't have what to eat, because you have what to choose. The only weird thing is the snack bar between 00:00 - 02:00. We only went once to see what this could mean. In the middle of the night, the snack bar involved a bean soup, sandwiches (with ham and cheese from the breakfast). Alcoholic drinks are ok. But the juices are terrible. The drinks (Cola, Sprite, Fanta, Schweppes) are super diluted with water. There is also a dispenser with apple juice, orange juice and plain water. All with the smell of chlorine. Orange juice seemed to be the most effective vitamin C, just as much more diluted.
We stayed 2 person 7 days at this hotel. I arrived with pretty high expectations, seeing all the reviews about the big rooms and the pictures on the internet. I'll start with the minuses, because there are so many. I saw the room and I was speechless. It looked as if it were a warehouse before it was the room: exaggeratedly small, situated on the corner of the hotel and with a lot of dust, without a refrigerator and with a horrible smell of duct. We went to the reception to change the room with a more spacious one, of course with cost. They couldn’t do that because the hotel was full. We decided to stay in the end, but provided it brings us a refrigerator in the room. They asked us why we need a refrigerator. Well, maybe for water !? As long as the feature list stated that it included refrigerator as a camera feature, I don't understand why they were asking me what the refrigerator is for. In any case, they brought us the refrigerator to the room. From the balcony is space for one person, hardly for two. Good luck, we weren't smokers either. 7 days we actually stayed with the clothes on the table. I had a very small attempt of a dresser in which not even a quarter of the clothes would fit. I put the towels in there and that was enough to fill. There was actually only one shelf near the bathroom door. Another weak point - the elevators. When you have hundreds of tourists and you only have two elevators with a maximum capacity of 4 people, of which only one of them reaches the top floor, it is a problem. Another weakness that most hotels in this area have - parking. It is not a problem to pay, a problem is that there are not enough parking spaces for all the tourists to stay. We were lucky, we got an empty parking lot, but those who came after us were no longer allowed to enter the parking lot and were not even redirected to another parking lot. It's just luck.
Everything was great, lot of food, clean rooms, close to the beach
The staff doesnt speak english... sorry
-
1. dirty rooms, with old furniture which need to be replaced 2. dirty hallways, poor illuminated 3. bad smell in the rooms 4. ants in the rooms 5. water in the balcony 6. stained towels and bed 7. dirty glasses, dirty cups at the canteen, everything was sticky 8. low quality food, without variety 9. the remains were served at the next lunch. alterated fruits, with vinegar flies flying around 10. elevators not working properly, people needed to take the staires, and if you have to climb couples a times a day, with baby in your arms to 6th floor is not an option 11. poor managemnt of the hotel, no respect for their guests, no people oriented 12. no free parking 13. very loud music and entertainment programme from the hotels around 14. poor bathroom appliances: no lightning, sink which was stuffed 15. sunbeds were "reserved" the day before or during first hours in the morning by leaving towels on them 16. if the door from the balcony was open, bad smell from the trash entered in the room, and also from the kitchens ventilation
We had 2 rooms , one was quite clean and nice but the second one where my mother stayed was full of bug beds ! They change the room with no issues but we didn’t get any apologies!
Bed bugs in room, very poor variety of food , small beach you need to wake up early morning to have a place
Only the sea view
It was the worst hotel that we stayed in ever, definitely avoid.Very rude staff, the room was very dirty and it was ready after 2 hours from check in, the AC wasn't working, also the fridge was dirty and with the leftover from other guests, the toilet was leaking, the towels and the bed clothes were smelling. After speaking with the reception manager for 12 times, nothing was solved. Regarding the food, the only edible thing was the bread. The real feeling is for 1 star hotel.
The location the food was ok and diverse
Alcohol drinks, even the water tasted like cannel The evelators - too few for a 7 floor hotel and were also small The parking area was horrible and the staff was too rude for a 4 star hotel, few parking spaces
location
the pictures are not what you see in raelity , not clean at alll the staf is very cold, the food is not good the pools are not clean not even arowned it, we had the worst stay ever .
Very close to the beach, a lot of terraces, two swiming pools.
some things in the bathroom are old and must be changed.
close to the beach and the main promenade
there is not enough parking and it is expensive...the cleaners come in, though it says busy many time...it is difficult to get a clean table during the meal if you are not among the first...
Located directly on the beach. 24 hour all inclusive + bar. Drinks are basic but hey, you get what you pay for. There is the bar in the lobby (24 hour) , 1 by the pool and another in the restaurant. Food is plentiful and okay. It caters mostly for their biggest market which is the Romanians. Rooms good size and clean. You can walk either direction and there are activities, bars and restaurants. Would I recommend and stop again....Yes, I would.
Air conditioning in room not great. If you want a lie in, the hotel next door shouts through a loud speaker for its animation programme!

Great location , swimming pools are excellent , choice of food is amazing , very short walk to the beach . ideal for families. small novelty train runs past hotel near the beach regular every 15 mins and takes you into the center of town . this was cheap and very good !
Parking , Hotel won't agree to parking until you arrive. Parking costs extra £ . had to leave my car and family in street , baking hot sun until I went check-in . Relieved that after checking in a very nice porter went with me to retrieve my car and find me a parking space in hotel grounds.
Everything
The room was big and the view was fabulos,with a seeview
The food was almost the same every day.in big,every day they gave potatoes in different shapes,and the salad bar was poor.The meet was porc or chicken.At the swim pool wasn’t clean every day and at the barbecue bar was as well dirty.And the toilet was broken,the water was running down from toilet.The city town was nice and clean,and nice people around
The location was amazing- right on the beach The room was large
There were long black hairs all over my room The pool was a disgusting green color the first day- you couldn’t even see the bottom. The staff were not helpful or welcoming The hotel’s beach was full of garbage.
very good location
the propriety need upgrading Room wasn't properly cleaned; The smells is not good - like an old hotel. The balcony was nice, but not clean. The furniture was not good looking.The bath needs renovation also the rooms
The location is very good, close for both center and beach! Nice staff, good food! We will definitely return to the hotel. Thank you!
All was good!
They have no free parking and they redirect you to a very rxpensive one
The staff were friendly and helpful, I have been to many hotels but this hotel’s food was the best. One of my family members lost something, and they found it right away and looked after until I came back and got it. I recommend this hotel especially for families with kids, I stayed there for two nights and I felt relaxed and comfortable. I’m very great full for the manager, Mr Baytullah and the staff member Mr Mehmed
I have booked a room at this hotel because it was next to the beach.
The food was discusting. I had reserved all inclusive and eated in a different place. Meat chicken was cold, salad had flys and wasn't fresh. The sweets were just plain. Watermelon was bad and the list goods on. At breakfast I could only touch a croasant. '''''''Never in your life book a room in this place!!!!!'''''
Nothing! Terible service! NOT a 4* hotel !!!
The staff is not that friendly, the cleaning service is inexistent and the food was terible. They refused to let me park the car in the hotel parking lot even after three consecutive days of free parking spots, telling me that the spaces are for the hotel owner... it wasnt true.
Location, cleaning
Food, drinks, not enough space on the beach for the guests, indoor pool
Great location, food nice, bed comfortable.
The room could be cleaned better, shower door was not fixed properly and the water went out on the floor and the housekeepers were talking to loud on the corridor in the mornings...
Location
No free parking space at the hotel. I paid 60 leva for 3 days in another hotel. Bathroom was not clean.
Very close to the beach.
No parking slot, very small terrace, poor WiFi, dirty room, bad English at the reception, NOT RECOMMENDED!
The location is right on the beach, this is the ONLY thing good at this hotel
For all inclusive package.. i ate only salads and fruits...the meat was the same of the previous days but with another sauce, we will not find butter for breakfast- instead margarine. The drinks? Oh my good... we could’t drink anything from there...only water and some beers that were 50% water. About the parking they not even allow us to the yard to unload the luggages, we found a parking place at 3.5 km away, there are no parking places near...we paid 5 euros/day and walk 45 min with our luggages. Even if we paid 7 nights, we left a day earlier.
I like the location
Need renovation
The room was big, clean and the bed was confortable. The served food was very good, always more options on the buffet. The hotel is 15m away from the beach and 5 minutes walk from the center.
When we arrived it was a missunderstanding with the double room. We got 2 beds instead of a big one, but it was solved at reception.
Good food, great location near the sea, friendly staff
The hair dryer in the bathroom didn’t work and after asking twice for a technician still wasn’t repaired. The TV didn’t have a clear view. Mini fridge not cooling. Few parking lots.
The locations.
The food was really bad.
The location was perfect. It was right on the sea.
The food could have been a bit more varied.
Amazing location and the food was very good and diverse
I had to pay for parking for every day. I find it unreasonable and rather disappointing.
The first impression of the room ( it faded shortly)
- Terrible, terrible food. I'm not a picky eater, but the food was a joke. Definitely not "ultra all inclusive" services. - The jacuzzi in the main bathroom was falling apart, we didn't have the courage to start it up. - the place is missing some serious air con (all over the hotel) - dirty beach
From accomodation to food, drinks, parking spot, jacuzzi, near the beach, everything was great
The sea.
The beach is far from the hotel and there is not enough place for sunbathing for every guest, the mattress not organized and not clean.
Location - first line, directly on the beach Food was good as well. Clean rooms, changed the sheets and towels every day.
The hotel is right near the beach, the room has enough light and is big.
The staff is very rude. The enter in your room even if you have "Do not disturb", they wanted to make the checkout earlier, they do not allow to enter with the car in the parking place to take the luggages.
It was in fact close to the beach and the waves where fantastic fun.
everything could have been better, and staff where very rude. For example, there where three member of staff at the reception desk but only one was dealing with staff, the other was sat laughing with a friend eating at the station and the one next was standing around being no help at all. It took 45 minutes to check in, we made numerous requests for repairs to be done in our room and nothing was done, the staff, every time we asked about the faults where told had not been reported. The management were apparently not available at any time during our stay so we could not make a complaint, we where told that we are free to leave at anytime if we did not like the hotel, but we would not be able to receive a refund due to the nature of our booking with booking.com. Food was very basic and poorly cooked, I only ate salads, the local drinks provided by the hotel were extremely poor, the beers tasted watered down, the spirits where the cheapest you can buy in Bulgaria, I know this as I live there, the mixers where very sickly, so me and my fiancée spent no time in the hotel, even though we had an all inclusive package. Also I would like to know what is Ultra all inclusive is as it seemed nothing was on offer. The hotel was extremely over priced The resort was very expensive, compared to others on the black sea coast, and the area was very cramped, Parking is a nightmare and very expensive. 15 lev per day (13 euros) and there is very limited space we had to park a mile away from the hotel. Me and my fiancée wanted to have a nice romantic weekend at this hotel and the pictures on booking.com of the hotel show a secluded hotel with its back to the woods and right on the beach front, where in fact it is false. The hotel is surround by other hotels a concrete jungle is the best way to describe it. The view from our room was basically a view of one of the adjoining hotel rooms, roughly 30 meters away so it was not very private.

Very close to private beach and walking distance to center. Nice view from sixth floor.
There was a little bit noisy in the evening ( until 1 am) and If you go with children you should consider a room with park view .

Room was nice and big. The hotel has a sunbeds and umbrella on the front beach. They were for free for the guests with all-inclusive.
Parking was 15 Leva / day, which is pretty expensive.
