We stayed at Royal Dreams for 2 weeks in August 2008. We did not originally choose this accommodation but it got swapped by Balkan Holidays. We arrived at 4.30 a.m and as we did not have any change we could not give the coach driver a tip, he therefore didn't help us take our luggage out of the coach and the 'guide' merely pointed us in the direction of reception. When we got in we found that reception would not be open until 7 a.m!!!! There was no sign of anyone who could help us. Eventually we got to our room, a studio apartment with a tiny sofa-bed and another horribly uncomfortable sofa. The sofa-bed mattress was as thin as cardboard, the kind that we have at home for the occasional overnight guest. We felt really gutted that we were going to have to sleep in discomfort for the entire 2 weeks!
The kitchen area was very good and the air conditioning was so efficient. A cleaner came daily, but I don't know what she did apart from empty the bins, there was a rug in the floor that was filthy when we got there, and even more so by the time we left.
The swimming pool area was not as shown in the pictures, the pool bar does not exist. There are sun beds around the pool but it was the only hotel in the area that did not have parasols for guests to use. We bought our own, but the gusts of wind blowing from the wasteland nextdoor didn't help.
The location was good for us, we liked the quieter part of Sunny Beach and the beach nearby was nice (take your own parasol and something to lie on)and we went to Nessebar on the little train most evenings, although there are some nice restaurants nearby. Father Ted's on the Royal Dreams site is open 24hrs so you can always start and finish your evening there.

Hi I’ve just got back from royal dreams sunny beach Bulgaria, I took some time to read reviews and truths about sunny beach and about royal dreams apartments, I said i would leave a review hoping i could leave a good review as normally only bad review are wrote BUT I was disgusted with the apartment we had no bed or towel changes all the 2 weeks we were there i did complain to reception and after 9 days they changed our towels and gave us (for 4 Adults) 4 face cloths for towels,
we only had one plate and one knife and fork in our apartment i complaint about this and the night before we left they brought us 3 more sets lookely we ate out every meal.
we stayed in one bedroom apartment we didn’t have pool view as asked for but our friend stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment that was owned by uk owner and they apartment as lovely and modern with pool view... I think all 2 bedroom apartments have 2 balconies one with pool view... have been told by other holiday makers out they that stayed in uk owner apartments that few more personal touches to the room like iron, washing machine, better deco.
The fitness room is like a store room few bits of fitness equipment also 2 shopping trolleys a folding bed about 10 black sack of rubbish, old dirty laundry ... if you going you must take a look at the state of it, but don’t as I did book this apartment due to the fact it has fitness room,
You cant get on anything for little kids playing and messing about unsupervised.
The pool filters don’t work properly so the pool is very dirty ( the people that have bought apartments are trying and arguing with the site management to get this sorted)
They is no pool bar as advertised it hasn’t been finished off properly so the careful of seats around the pool bar as are very dangerous 3 kids in our first week split there head open on this when jumping around in the pool, The pool was closed for one day so they could put some powder cleaner in due to the amount of complains but as the filters were not working it made no difference, 2 of us had sickness and diarrhoea for 4 days we think it was off the pool,
The pool same depth all over about 4 foot so make sure very small kids / non swimmers have arm band on as kiddies pool not in use was empty.
royal dreams is in very quiet part of sunny beach only 6 lev each (£2.55) for return trip on little train to and from main part sunny beach or nessebar only takes about 25 minutes to get to on the train, was told buses were 1 lev but very very very packed. beer in royal dream apartments bar only 2 lev (1 lev in most bars in main part sunny beach) but still cheaper than uk , soft drinks around 3 lev
Good points ... very cheap to eat / drink out could go out for meal for 4 adults ... 4 main courses about 6 beers, and 6 soft drinks from 40 lev (About £17)in some restaurants to 60 lev (£25) don’t go to McDonalds in main sunny beach for 4 big mac meals it was 67 lev (£29) only £15 at home in uk...better off going for meal and drinks in one of the restaurants.
Beaches were nice expect to pay about 7 lev (£3) for a bed each and 7 lev (£3) for a parasol, There is jelly fish so just keep watch out when in the sea,
Didn’t see any prostitutes as read about on other reviews but few exotic dance clubs in main part sunny beach, Didn’t see any trouble or hear about any muggings as in some reviews, only so 2 beggars in nessebar but they in every town even in uk, just be very open minded and be aware at all time when out and about.
Good luck
If you reading this you must be thinking of going royal dreams please leave reviews good and bad for future holiday makers.
