This is the second year in a row that we have been to the Pliska. Great friendly service.
Local beach excellent. Value for money was brilliant. Learn to haggle for those special purchases. As there was a group of us we hired a local man with minibus who showed us the sites.
Aquapark is a must for all ages. Would highly recommend seeing how the Bulgarians live. Went on a few trips and they were well worth the money.
Golden Sands is a top resort and it is nice to see it continue to grow.

This is the first time I have visited Bulgaria’s beach resorts and it will certainly be my last!
The hotel was nice and clean, but as far as the resort was concerned - too big a resort and not enough tourists. Daytime entertainment was poor, nowhere to go to watch a film, etc. My biggest concern for this ever growing resort is if they want to keep tourists coming they seriously need do a "sweep up" of the prostitutes. On several occasions I saw these girls offering their bodies for 100 leva (approx £30) to young boy and feeling them up to. I thought this was disgusting.
The food for the first couple of nights was ok, but everything seemed to taste the same, no variety whatsoever. However, I can understand why people holiday here..... Cheap booze and food, which I can say was the only plus side.
Myself and my boyfriend hired a car for 4 days and drove 8 hours to the capital of Sofia. FANTASTIC!!! We stayed in a youth hostel at the cost of £10 per night per room and we had a lovely time. If any tourists are thinking of going on a city break DEFO go to Sofia, its lovely. But as far as the beach resorts are concerned a big thumbs down.
Balkan holidays were a joke. Granted we paid only £240 for the fortnight, but the level of customer service was appalling. I myself worked for a tour operator the size of Balkan Holidays and if I knew that any of my colleagues treated guests in this manner, I would have been very disappointed. The rep turned up for the welcome meeting and granted he did push the trips, this is of course a reps main source of income. However, after this meeting that was the last time I spoke to him. Many a time I would see him walking down resort and I would say hello and he would blank me, complete rudeness!!! When completing my CSR on the plane home I did point out these matters but Balkan did not follow up my concerns.
All I can say about this company is they do need to seriously invest in some British reps to balance things out.

Hotel from hell. Holiday from hell. Mucky, dark, dingy, interior resembles the inside of a prison.
Food - pass me a sick bag. Not for the English, cold and plenty of flies around it. If you value your stomach don't go near it.
We paid extra for half board and couldn't eat so much as a slice of toast due to flies on the open butter. Reps comments - its summer!
Room - small have to climb over the beds to get in. We had a match on bathroom floor for whole 2 weeks, glad I only looked under the beds on leaving - I'll say no more. Dirty towels 4 times - no amount of complaining to the rep resolved these matters. or Balkan holidays.
Hotel is meant to be a 3 star has 2 stamped on the bedding and towels. I could go on and on.
In all our holidays have never never been on one like this. Don't visit Golden Sands. This is not a joke, we hated the whole experience and would never return.
