The room was very good, even for 3 adult persons, the extra bed very comfortable, good food & animation, the pool was ok. Very close to the beach and the main streets (restaurants & shops). -Parking is 10 eur per day for guests (if they have free parking space), if you stay after 12 pm on the day of check-out, the first 2 hrs they charge 5 eur, if you stay more, they charge you for the whole day; -They charged on the card I used for booking, the entire amount of the stay, in the moment of booking !!!! and would not refund it although I wanted to pay in cash. This notice was not clearly mentioned in the moment of booking. They said I had to read the hotel policy... A day previous to the departure we asked what was the room rate and the lady at the reception said an amount (not a mention of the already made payment!) and suggested us to go exchange the eur because they only take Leva payment (altough they have an exchange office in the hotel with very inconvenient rates). We did that and therefore remained with a lot of Leva since everything was paid. You should be very careful when changing money in golden sands - go to a bank is the only way you don't get robbed. -A little trick they have: "check in is after 2 PM" but if you arrive at 2 pm you loose the lunch on that day and you are not entitled to it on the day of the check-out.

The food was plenty and very good. The personnel very kind and helpful, especially Pavel. The fact that the hotel hasn't its private beach and had to walk 10 minutes to get to the beach.

The location is good and central. The thematic restaurants are very good. There is no private beach zone nearby, the zone is a 10 min walk and it's near one other Grifid Hotel. Apart from that, even in All- Inclusive, to have access to that private beach zone you have to pay extra- money... No Internet in the rooms.

The hotel was perfect. The staff was impeccable at the restaurant, the pool or the reception and bar. The room was big and nice, not smoking hotel is a plus for me, very cleaning. 3 elevators who dit its jobs. The food was very good, tasty and fresh. The facilities was nice - 4 restaurants, 3 pools, day and night bar, mini club for children Location is good, 3-5 min to the beach in the first line of hotels. For me and my family was a perfect holiday I’ll be back to this hotel. There are 2 little things: 1. The private beach of the hotel - the hotel make part from a hotel chain (Grifid) and in Golden Sands there are 3 hotels. The private beach of Arabella hotel was in front of Vilmar (i thing so) hotel. this means around 15 - 20 min (around 800 - 1000 m) far away for the Arabella hotel. For a family with a young children is not so nice (the little one can’t walk this distance). 2. the price of parking was 10 euro per day a little higher in context of location.

Great place for families and poor teenagers who like the cheap alcohol in the all-inclusive. Too noisy for the higher-end traveller. Hotel rooms have paper thin wal. There are not enough lifts, so lift stops almost every floor, frequently when people already have taken another lift or the stairs due to long waiting periods.

They werent able to find us a parking place, because it was full with bulgarian cars, however they shut my mouth with a junior suite (i reserved a double room).About food i suspect something wrong,no taste at all,balling our stomach (maybe boramide???) Outside of the hotel plenty of good terraces, many places to eat grill meat.It was the third time and for sure my last time in all inclusive Bulgaria.Bitter taste! poor food, the sea was far enough

It's a nice hotel, clean, good food (except Restaurants a la carte), good price, helpful hotel staff. I liked the heated inside pool (I was on 1st of may). I liked the fish tanks in the lobby :). I asked for a double bed and I get 2 beds put together. Weird spots on the carpet. Do not eat at the Restaurants a la carte. The worst food ever. At the Chinese Restaurant I asked for shrimps and they served me some surimi pasta shaped like a shrimp. Funny guys!

Nous avons beaucoup aimé le concept pour les repas : le fait d'y trouver tout ce choix entre le buffet permanent où l'on se sert et le restaurant classique où l'on vous sert avec menu à la carte. L'hotel est très agréable, le personnel très bien, ainsi que les chambres et la propreté. A l'age de 66 ans, je suis allée dans beaucoup d'hotels de part le monde et je peux dire franchement que à 90% des hotels celui-ci est la meilleur. Ce qui m'a déplut, c'est que en grande partie, j'ai décidé de réservé dans cet hotel parce que partout était indiqué la possibilité de faire une thallasso thérapie et sur ce point, j'ai été bien deçu car il n'y a rien de tout cela en dehors d'un programme sur 3 jours beaucoup moins interessant et plus cher que la thallasso prposé sur différents sites.

Meget velfungerende og velholdt hotel. Alle medarbejdere kender til det at yde "service" . God og varieret mad i hovedrestauranten. Endnu bedre i a la carte restauranterne, især vil jeg fremhæve mad og service i den asiatiske restaurant. Kommer gerne igen! Noget musikstøj fra nærliggende barer/restauranter sent aften betød, at man skulle lukke døren til terrassen for at kunne sove!

Am petrecut un concediu extraordinar , este al doilea an in care revenim la acest hotel.Il recomand cu caldura in mod special familiilor cu copii dar si celor care doresc sa aiba parte de servicii excelente! Am dori sa fie disponibile mai multe locuri atunci cand se face rezervare la unul dintre cele trei restaurante cu specific.

Mi-a placut foarte mult curatenia din camera si din hotel. Angajatii hotelului foarte ospitalieri.E un loc ideal pentru familiile cu prichindei,au unde sa se joace, animatorii se ocupa de ei cu grija.Piscina acoperita e perfecta daca vremea nu e tocmai frumoasa, iar cele exterioare sunt ok, copii se pot juca in apa fara probleme. Nu pot spune ca au un meniu foarte diversificat, in patru zile ai toate sansele sa mananci cam aceleasi feluri de mancare. Supele si ciorbele se schimbau ce-i drept, dar felul doi si desertul nu prea. Ce nu mi-a placut : vesela nu e perfect curata, pentru cei care nu dau importanta la acest lucru e ok,dar pentru unii care au un ochi mai critic ca mine asa, se observa ca mai raman mici urme.Sezlongurile se ocupau de la ora 8,cand lumea mergea la micul dejun,daca te trezeai mai tarziu ramaneai fara.
