Gladly again - however not really in the late season

Great hotel, perfect service, best beach area and everywhere absolutely clean! However in the late season is the Sonnenstrand not recommendable, there more and more shops, bars, Discos and other possibilities for recreation close. Thus one is after dinner more or less on the entertainment program in the hotel rely on. And here you have the off-season noticed, since the pool bar early close and the evening animation set and therefore the attached bar. In order to escape was just initiative necessary. Apart from the hotel is, the Sonnenstrand and Bulgaria in general very recommendable! read more

The hotel is for my taste just perfect in terms of size. The complex is in a top condition. Also the rooms were really clean and every day it was cleaned. The food was every day a pleasure 2 times per week ppo a theme evening (Italian, bulgarian). The only thing which we missed was that there too few offers for children gave, no animation no mini disco or slides in the water. Maybe it but also because of the off-season. read more

The RIU Helios than Club hotel not too big however getting a bit old ( old carpet in the corridor and in the rooms, old pictures) To the cleanliness I can say it was in my eyes very much cleaned and also very clean. We had all-inclusive and were not very satisfied, more later. In September were too many older English in the hotel, a few Russian and German tourist. read more
  • Room
    5.0

    We had room on the 4 floor with a view of the sea, it was nice and big approximately 20 meters², but the furniture somewhat older but not run-down, the bathroom was also big enough with a large level shower, mini bar was there but empty. Air conditioning was very good and silent, the balcony was narrowly however therefor somewhat longer, 2 chairs and a small table from plastics no cushions, oh well. The room was clean but badly soundproofed. The tv was small and small flatgerät, just 4 German channels whereby ProSieben not synchronous was.

  • Gastronomy
    1.0

    There was a main restaurant but like a cafeteria appeared and a themed restaurant, after notification could use it. The quality of the dishes for breakfast was good but not very good, everything you for breakfast need was available ( for English also). Every morning there was freshly scrambled eggs, fried egg, gek. Eggs, sausage, cheeses, muesli, fruit, jams and so on, the coffee however was not enjoyable. It was always much clean in the restaurant. The atmosphere was however like in a cafeteria, arrangement of the tables bad, the lighting much too bright and the terrace outside way too small, the dinner was always overcooked and not seasoned, the meat was dry, the pizza was the best that we ate. The pasta soft cooked, no typical bulgarian food in 1 week. Therefore we have the themed restaurant not used. The drink in all-inclusive was ok but for a Riu too bad.

    The staff are normally very friendly and can also a little German, but with a little English you got also very good clear. The room was cleaned thoroughly and always very fast. Since we didn't complaints had, I could can't comment on that.

  • Sport & Entertainment
    5.0

    Sporting activities were available, but weren't used by us, the animation was very friendly, the disco was not bad, entertainment program in the evening was bad, although all hard-working. Shopping is on Sonnenstrand super good about 6 kilometer long possible in front of the hotel. The access to the internet was available, the room was very uncomfortable. The beach is great nice, as well as the pool. At the beach cost however 2 loungers and a umbrella 12 Euro on the day ( too expensive), showers at the beach does not exist. On one day there was the late afternoon jellyfish. Otherwise is the sea however really clean and warm.

    The hotel is directly at the beach, only through the shopping street separated. The shuttle from the airport took 40 minutes, no noise from the planes, nessebar is about kilometers away and by bus for 50 cents per person 10 minutes away. Nessebar is worth seeing. Shop and food are from the hotel about minutes. Who in the evening however peace like, is in the hotel RIU Helios not in good hands, as all of the beach bars and discos to hear until early in the morning. The hotel's own disco closes at o'clock.

    There is a pool bar (10 until o'clock), the lobby bar (-23 hours) and the saloon bar (-24 hours). With the mixtures they always very well intentioned ;-) behind of the pool bar you could also drinks itself 'tap', the me but due to the few carbonic acid did not like. The breakfast (7.30-10 hours ) in the main restaurant we only 2 times used. Have mostly not managed from the springs to come. We were mostly at the breakfast for people who sleep in (10 until o'clock) on the adjoining terrace. This is however unfortunately only a fraction of choice' normal' breakfast. During dinner there are two different meal times, with arrival are to be communicated. In case these commitments should, can easily be exchanged. We had the second time from 8:30 P. M. and were very satisfied. The food is not comparable with the in Germany, but we have always something delicious edible found!

    The staff were very friendly and had always a smile in the face. The rooms were cleaned daily. There was also a small gift of travel agency and hotel into the room. You were able to communicate almost everywhere in German, apart from that you could get by with English well.

    We were just by the pool, directly at the pool bar. With the other on the back of the hotel was rather families with children, there was a small playground was. The loungers were mostly reserved with towels. Chairs and umbrellas by the pool free of charge, at the beach for a fee. The animation was not pushy. The team very friendly! Especially olympic day was a lot of fun! ( volleyball, soccer, table tennis, tennis, water aerobics, water polo, archery). A fitness room is available, which we didn't make use of. Evenings there was in the saloon bar always entertainment. From karaoke to live music, musicals...

    From the airport in Burgas from ours was the 2. Hotel, the we'll book. The journey took approximately 30 to 40 minutes. The hotel is directly at the very fine sandy sandy beach. Only over the promenade the hotel is separated from the beach. On the promenade along only a few meters away from the hotel there were numerous (beach -) bars and shops strung end to end. Our tip: mexo bar ;-) Excursions we did not undertake. A aqua park there are in Nessebar.

    The room was huge, more largely than we it from Kreta and Mallorca were used to. It was a double bed, what two pushed next to each other single beds stock. For a friendly couples was the rather sad, for my girlfriend and me, the only as friends were traveling, not a problem. There was a tv, dresser, closet, bathroom with a big shower, large washbasin and toilet, a really very large balcony. Everything was very clean, even the mattresses askance, this were very clean and even with fresh matratzenschonern-top!

    There is a main restaurant in two meal times gives for dinner. It is really very much selection available. Big salad buffet, big desserts buffet, different types of meat, side dishes, snacks like pizza, pasta bar, always a roast freshly made, bread, olives, etc. Everything was very clean, I found positive that all chefs wearing gloves. The plates were from the waiter always cleared away immediately. I deduct a star that is why, because I found that the food altogether always a little bit underspiced was. We were however told that in Bulgaria generally a problem is, really good food would you search in vain. But that is really complain about of a high standard, the selection was really great and there were a selection of spices to improve ;-) Bars there are three piece: A salon bar, a lobby bar and a pool bar. So you had always something to drink.

    The hotel is situated right at the sea, one must only from the gate out and stands already at the beach. The airport in Burgas is approximately 45 minutes out. Shops are numerous given, no matter which direction you the hotel left, everywhere are shops. Bars and restaurant there was also very many, there are also discos enough and one must at best 10 minutes walk to the disco to come the furthest away. On the promenade along there are also many beach bars, like for instance the luxury or the mexo. I found positive, that it at night in the rooms nevertheless was quiet and we could sleep well.

The hotel has its best years already behind, not worth 4 stars. The average age fraud during our travels estimated 60 years. Too many it was guests from England ( about 70%) and estimated 20% from Germany. For infants it was not much, you simple way in the range of dishes on offer and drinks forget. Maybe even wanted, since this young guests additional cost (crib, etc.) and no money out. read more

    The rooms are big enough, but also ageing. For us were the mattresses too soft. The silicon joints in the bathroom were rusted, maybe there were there times problem. The room-safe was with 23€ for one week also quite expensive.

    The food is the highlight of the hotel- a praise to the kitchen staff! Only the small have been completely forgotten. The dinner in 2 passages offered. We received from the reception the time of 20:30 until: o'clock -> very wise (?) divided for a small child. This shows again, that at the front desk not with heart and mind being worked on.

    The staff's hospitality at the front desk is absolutely inadequate. We had the feeling, they feel a bit better. Wishes/ complaints were taken, but it was the women it should be noted, that you annoying and accordingly it was treated. We are with our child (19 months) to 9 hours journey and without sleep for him 10:30 A. M. in the hotel arrived. I asked, that room rather relate to us, so he can sleep. I have been told, that it was only from 1:00 P. M. (treaty) is possible, you want but see. 12:00 A. M. I inquired again and the auskunkft receive, it is ready. After 20 minutes I again asked, as it was called 15 minutes then I hotel boss requires. I immediately received, me but also 15 minutes to wait. The boss had no sympathy for my complaint and put a very unprofessional way to the day (no manager!) finally we could punctually 1:00 P. M. our room and our completely overtired child lay down. We have none even remotely a word of apology is!

The hotel normally is good, but at night it was way too loud. Especially street side, as it peak season was; no room changing possible, everything was fully booked. Although after three nights more or less gewönnt and could nevertheless sleep, also our kids(8 and 4 years). If balcony door to, it is much silent. If room verlassan you can some plastic card tuck in, where usually one can hotel map put, so there's relatively weak air conditioning and fridge during absence. It is better than climate let it run if the children in rooms are. There are plug sockets ... enough back the Bettischen. Beach clean, nahliegend, sand fine as in the hourglass. The pool was very clean, Lying chairs at pool enough, many with towels reserved, drinks are well, also cocktails are not bad. Child care also very good. For internet you have to pay 30 minutes 3 lewai in internet room or for Wi-Fi figures and own computer use 10 leva per day or 50 leva/ week ( Cheek!) also at the beach Lying chairs and sun screens way too expensive. Taxi in front of the hotel almost twice as expensive like for instance next to bus station, bus very cheap 1 Lewa, money in hotel change only lose on the unfavorable course, in 200 to 300 meters in many Wechselpunkte too much better course changed. Have a tattoo quite cheap on the final day made. Very much attractions and Transportmietmöglichkeiten. read more

In the closets was sufficient space around the things of four persons at the same time and the balcony was great and large. Only drawback: it was very noisy at night by the whole bars but around two or half three (at night) does it on. Otherwise is nearby a pharmacy in which you buy ear plugs can.

Of course there was also coffee with or without sugar and milk, dte gave it also, as well as hot milk and choco. Then about from midday there was also Pepsi, miranda and seven up, as well as beer and wine. In the restaurant it was always very clean and the chefs always had rubber gloves on.

From the outside not spectacular effective hotel, which however a lot of home values has. Hotel order and cleanliness were a four-star hotel just. All inclusive-benefits are rather model to describe. The food was varied, fresh and varied. Taste is not like at home, but this is not in another country expect it to be. Alltogether it was completely okay. We could everyday something other to take us, but with some other 4 stars hotel not standard. Daily changing dishes-noodles pizza, chicken, fish, beef, lamb pork, salads, potatoes and all this in different variations. -great- The guest structure you can ... as a pan-european call.

    We had so-called deluxe room with a balcony. The rooms were quite large and the furniture consisted of an double bed, a couch, table, chest of drawers, large closet. Telephone and satellite -tv-was available. There was ARD, RTL, satellite. 1 and ProSieben. Air conditioning ran quite silent and pleasant. On the balcony there were 2 chairs and a small coffee table. The view from our room was in the direction another well maintained effective hotel and laterally once to the sea and once for shopping arranged. The condition is a 4 star hotel, but this we had a Riu-hotel simply expects. Noise was not an issue.

    There is a big restaurant and a themed restaurant ( bulgarian/asian in the change), which we however didn't use it. We were always happy in' normal' restaurant. Only perhaps, that the coffee not our thing was. It was simple for us to 'grande'. The ambiance in the restaurant is quiet and the service staff are the weasel. Really a great team. The remainder have we already described, so that no further words need.

    The staff are very friendly and accommodating. German was always understood. The entertainment is probably in 7 languages. Both of our room daily and to our satisfaction cleaned. The rooms even were in a 4 star hotel appropriate condition. Nothing seemed really run-down and also the typical suspects mattresses were clean. Only negative point was the long waiting time on the day of arrival on our rooms at check in. We were at: hours in the hotel and could only after 5 hours in one of both of our room. The wasn't so great, although the treaty has failed.

    The entertainment was very unobtrusive, but the total package. Water polo, soccer, volleyball, darts, quiz, water aerobics - and so on - the full cargo evenly. In the evening run kurzweilige topic evenings in one extra bar. To ruhestörendem noise it is not. There are 2 large pools. What a clean impression make. You can swim reasonably, as the pools really quite large. Chairs are itself abundant. The typical reserve the loungers also other nations inside, although this in the hotel was actually is prohibited. Unfortunately, the mostly these loungers not all day use. Some sun screens have the best days behind itself. The pool beach chairs are daily bereingt and bath-towels gives it from the hotel, the you daily changed. Super was, that on each couch a soft edition is. Every pool there is a shower facility with several einzelduschen. The beach, which itself in the immediate area for hbotel is, is not not in a very good condition. It could also a few residual waste the visitors in the sand be found. To 3 days of vacation was in sea water a solid algenansammlung recognizable. The rest of the days were the seaweeds only a few available. The chairs and screens at the beach you have a separate operator at the beach right royal pay. For this reason we have no beach chair use and our towels put in the sand. In the water it was anyway beautiful and the daily in the afternoon inserted 1 to 2 meters waves is already super.

Were beautiful holidays unfortunately I have to say the rooms are a bit small canceled the sofa was once the bed for two children rebuilt and then had we no longer old too much capacity in the room. The front door you could from the inside a block but as soon as one the Türklingke operated was on the door. The balcony door you could also not worn therefore Caution with children, because you quickly over a little bulky railing plunging. Would have evenings gladly times the sea but with the music of the beach bar luxury was not possible ... since ran the whole time house music from morning 09:00 until into the night inside certainly Vur young people optimally however for families with small children not really. read more
