" 2 Great Weeks "
Submitted By: AmmieI must say I was pretty worried about the hotel before I even got there because of reading the reviews but it was so much better than I expected.
Hotel staff were very friendly and I had no trouble communicating with them as they spoke good English.
Wesley the First Choice Rep was first class and gave us all the information we needed to have an enjoyable holiday.
For Breakfast you could choose to have toast, cereal, fried breakfast, fruit,Salad, croissants and a selection of biscuits. There was also a choice of tea, coffee,orange juice or water.
The rooms were spacious and clean with comfortable beds, a nice bathroom, air conditioning,fridge, a balcony and a satellite TV.
Sunny Beach was a great holiday resort, lots of shops, bars and restaurants and a really nice beach.
Beer in lots of places were 1 lev, some even 0.79 which is a bargain as it only works out around 42p.
ATOL and Far_A are good restaurants with very cheap meals that were lovely.
I would recommend you look around and look at a menu before you decide where you eat as some places were alot cheaper than others but with just as good standard.
Nessebar an old Bulgarian town is a place to visit, it only costs 12 levs each there and back on a mini train.
The only place I would say dont visit as I felt it was a waste of money costing 30 levs each is the Aqua Park in Nessebar, slides basically the same as each other, and very crowded.
Overall I enjoyed my stay at Sunny Beach and I will definately be returning there next year staying at the Yavor Palace hotel.
Advice: Sunny beach is a place that caters for all, you will never get bored here.
Activities: ATOL, Far_A, Red lion. Nessebar is the place to visit.
Good for: City Breaks

" Don't Listen to the Whiners "
Submitted By: supercaldyThe reception staff were good and their English was of a high standard. The bell boy's were always helpful although i did catch them sneaking a peak at my girlfriend a couple of times in her bikini but what guy doesn't!
The pool was clean and surrounding area also clean. The bar was a bit pricey considering bars in the resort were far cheaper.
Our room looked on to the back alley which looked a bit dodgy but we eventually came to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere at night with a glass of wine. one thing i would say is try and get a top floor room as these are safer and there was a couple of reports of gypsies knicking things off of people's balconies but i did not actually see this.
The room itslef was always clean thanks to our amazing maid and the tv had a good variety of English channels with evena movie channel for the couple of hours after the beach and before dinner.
The beach is lovely, 21 levs for 2 loungers and a parasol is essential if you are fair skinned like me because you WILL boil. The markets and pubs are pretty standard resort stuff but enjoyable all the same.
The atmosphere at nigth is great and everyone is pretty friendly. The bars have good music and the food we thought was of a high standard. there is a huge selection and the clubs are okay if you are young enough.
i would HIGHLY recomment visiting Nessebur Old town as it is beautiful and the markets there are far superior.
Overall a great wee holiday.
Final word...do NOT take ANY of First Choices offers or excursions as you can get them cheaper elsewhere or they just are not worth going. Do your own thing.
Advice: It
Activities: Old Town of Nessebur or the Beach. Total relaxation.

" We arrived at the Sunny Beach resort... "
Submitted By: Mr H G M DuguidThe restaurant was clean but the food was of a poor standard and mostly cold with the evening meal consisting of slop or,on one occasion the chicken was uncooked.
It was difficult to find a plate which wasn't chipped and staff used dirty old hand brushes and a dustpan to sweep crumbs off tables in front of guests instead of changing table cloths.
The resort itself has a beautiful beach with an abundance of shops,bars and restaurants and it is cheap to dine out.
However the down side and it is a big downside the place is teeming with theives and robbers making Sunny Beach one of the most unsavoury place I have ever visited.
In broad daylight outside the Yavor Palace Hotel a man was kicked to the ground and had a gold chain ripped from his neck. Only when his wife dragged her nails down the face of one of the robbers did they flee. Another man was held up and robbed at gun point (real or otherwise-as guns and knives are on open sale). Another lady guest at the Yavor, who was on crutches, had her bag snatched in the street. All together there were 7 street muggings in as many days.
My wife and I went on an organised trip to a local restaurant where there was a spectacular floor show which made for an enjoyable evening until we discovered that her gold watch,neckless and earings had been stolen from her handbag which was on the side of her chair and could only have been taken by a member of staff. When attending the local Police station to report the matter we found a queue of British holiday makers reporting thefts from their hotels.
Everyone we spoke to were of the same opinion - none of them wish to go back to Bulgaria. If they wish to attract tourists there is a lot of work required to rid the streets of theives and muggers and a vast improvement required in food standard. Holiday reps must warn people of the dangers lurking on the streets. Worst place we have visited and would not go back even if paid to do so.

Submitted By: Mr W.P. GormanSunny Beach is a lively resort with hundreds of stalls and shops selling clothing, leather goods and traditional gifts. The bars were fun and we had particular rapport with the owner and staff in 'Tony's Karaoke Bar'. Choice of eateries was much and varied and in our experience the fare was of a good quality at a very reasonable cost.
The beach was massive and easily accessible from the centre of the resort. The weather was superb with most days exceeding 30 degrees. We were informed that this was higher than normal for September. Skies did cloud over last two days of holiday though.
All in all a great holiday where it was cheap to eat and drink. Not the ideal choice for a quiet break though. Bulgaria changes currency to the Euro next year and this may impact negatively on the value for money that we experienced.

Submitted By: Miss Katie RSunny beach itself is quite lively in evenings, and everywhere is 'happy hour' giving you numerous free drinks with your main drink!! The area is not really family friendly as not much for kids to do other than beach and pools. but would definalty reccommend for couples or groups of teenagers / young adults.
We took a trip over to Nessebar on the boat but this didnt really interest us much but would probably suit people more interested in the history of Bulgaria.
Bulgaria is fairly cheap as a whole. only thing we found expensive was papers and magazines but then you do accept this as imported over.
Overall me and partner had a very nice time there and was much better than i was expecting it to be! would definatly reccommend this hotel and resort!!!
