What a lovelyt surprise!
10 / 10
Feb 2009, bunny922

2 weeks spent at Hotel Madara and what a fantasic time we had.
Before leaving i read the reviews here on Trip advisor and had some concerns as the reviews were either fantastic or terrible but since getting back i will try and put things in perspective!
Regarding the negative feedback on the staff being 'unhelpful' i totally disagree! The staff were fabulous and extremely helpful and polite, I think you must remember that if you take the time to talk to them rather than grunt at them and rudely point at things(Yes people actually did this) they did everything they could to help, and yes alot of the cleaners spoke no english but who are we to be so arogant to think that everyone speaks english!!!!
There was mixed feedback on the food but i can nothing but complain, i feel that the people who said they got ill probably ate and drank too much hence they got ill! The choice and availability was extraordinary. Food is available from 7am till 9pm in some way or form. If it wasn't the meals (e.g. breakfast, lunch or tea) there's food in the lobby bar, coffee bar, pool bar and snack bar!!!! I have food intolerances and a very sensitive stomach, only once i had a little upset and that was i went out and drank too much!
Now down to the hotel itself the rooms were HUGE which were in extremely good condition, clean and everything worked as it should. In the 2nd week the weather wasn't great for a couple of days and i was more than happy to stay in the room as it felt that a home from home.
The hotel as a whole was spotless, i even SEEN the cleaners out at 1am cleaning round the drunken holiday makers (YES US INCLUDED).
The swimming pool was good and there was never a problem with lack of sunbeds always plenty for all. There is also an in door pool, gym, spa centre and hairdresser on site but i cannot pass comment on these as we didn't access them.
I hope that clears up some of the confusion over previous reviews.
I am a fair judgeand rather than people reading this thinking i delusion and would probably be happy anywhere i will include the one and only negative comment i have on this hotel.
During the holiday I learnt that use of the fridge was supposedly a chargeable service i questioned this with front of house staff and was ensured that i woudn't be charged, so come the end of the week i was waiting for the reception staff to try but they didn't even mention it so i was again pleasantly surprised and left the hotel on a high!

hotel spotlessly clean but food well i wouldnt give it to a dog to eat let alone humans,and you should be informed that the germans would be there to take control of things, one or two bar staff were very pleasant, and it's the fist time we add to go to a seperate bar for drinks other than lager, one things for sure i wont be going there again .perhaps if we were told we might have give it a second look at it

we stayed at the madara hotel , which was spotlessly clean .staff were brill ,pool was good for kids . food was a bit samey but passable. the resort itself was very commercialised , a lot of touts but a no normally sufficed. water park a ten minute walk from hotel. our main complaint was the fact that thomas cook and bmi treated us and our entire flight like second class citizens !

The prices in Golden Sands are fantastic everything is dirt cheap, for example a pint of beer costs around about 50p.
The people are incredible friendly and they all seem to speak English which is great but they do appreciate it if you do try to speak Bulgarian. A few polite words will get you far!!
The resort is large enough to wonder around all day but small enough not to get lost, it is quite easy to direct yourself around golden sands but if you do come across a problem ask one of the tavern keepers and they will put you straight, maybe after a drink or two, but a drink is always a good thing.
The night-life is fantastic and is all sent in the middle of the town, although of the lively night-life it is always peaceful around the hotel complex I stayed in as it was set off a little from the town.
The beach at Golden Sands is lovely it is literally golden sand, but sandals are a necessity at mid-day when the sand gets its hottest, the sea also gets warm which is great!!
If you get bored wondering around the town or staying on the beach there are lots of excursions which are available for everyone, the only bad thing I’d say about the water park is that you can do all of the slides in about half an hour but is great for kids who love lots of water!
Overall the resort is one of the best I’ve been to and would love to go again a top holiday for all. Young, Old, Teen and Family 10/10!
