moved to this hotel because Wela hotel overbooked. large clean room,excellent air con,excellent bathroom and cleaned daily. very good hotel apart from the dining room service and poor quality food, never enough cups at breakfast and food sometimes barely warm. still you are getting a value for money as it is a very cheap holiday. tried eating out in resort and we generally were disappointed, poor quality and not a vegetable in sight

" Just returned from Sunny Beach for... "
Submitted By: Mrs B Cock
Just returned from Sunny Beach for 1st time and felt it necessary to add a few comments - never done this before.
Whilst the resort itself has so much going for it, fantastic beach and so much to do, please everyone bear in mind the food may not be to your liking!
We stayed at the Kalina Gardens, located in a good position with excellent prices at the bar and in their shops.
However, the food was pretty dire - same thing every day and never hotter than luke warm and fairly disinterested, untrained staff. Unfortunately this led to fraying tempers, mostly by the German guests, when there were no cups, coffee, hot water etc which was met by shrugged shoulders, apathy and, for the guests, poorly stomachs.
I've travelled all over the world and can honestly say I've never felt the need to make such comments. Having ventured out one night hoping for a decent meal, again we were sadly disappointed. But, we were very lucky in that we were neither robbed nor mugged.
This seems to be a very common occurrence in Sunny Beach and must be stamped out before all the thousands of other rooms currently under construction, are filled.
Most of the bar staff were more welcoming as were the girls in the Optic shop and the Doctor was brilliant!!! We have since spoken and met many people who've recently visited Bulgaria but will not be returning - majority of us preferring the hospitality in Turkey.
Please Bulgaria take note - you have a bit more work to do with staff training to include smiling and get rid of the crime, then and only then will we think of returning.
Thanks for letting us air our views.

Food were bland, bland, bland. Totally inedible, overcooked and lack of food particularly ice creams and watermelons. People rush to get these thinking there's going to be a food shortage and they're not half wrong! Although I must commend the baker for his/her excellent desserts and the restaurant staff for being helpful.
Don't expect entertainment! Karaoke night is very quiet, if you want live shows in the open air go across the road to Iberostar, top quality entertainment for everyone.
Finally Sunny Beach is a lively place for everyone, beach right outside your doorstep, loads of shopping, eating out is cheap, fantastic price for watered down beer at 1 lev a pint!! Hope this review helps!
