GRIFID Club Hotel Bolero, Golden Sands

Ebony and Irony do Golden Sands

Advantages: Proper brand name Coke and large bottle servings - I'm easily pleased, y'see
Disadvantages: The busy areas are even busier at night

use them even if I had, since everyone assumed you wouldn't speak any Bulgarian. Turns out, they assumed right. Golden Sands is served by Varna airport ("the 2nd largest in Bulgaria" is still tiny) about 30 mins away. Varna city is slightly nearer and is a nice half-day out. Other excursions include 'Bulgaria without make-up' where you go into a 'typical Bulgarian house' (or as 'typical' as any house can be, when it lets 20+ tourists march through it every day), trips to Rumania and Turkey, and to the waterpark on the other side of Golden Sands (entrance is about 20 Lv so it's not dirt cheap). Spa treatments are widely available at many hotels and you don't have to be a resident to indulge, but they get booked up so plan ahead. Typical prices for these and other items are below. (1 Lv was 35p when we were there) A 45 min ...

Review of Golden Sands Resort

A poor location. hotel caters for school parties

Advantages: Nice rooms
Disadvantages: School Parties. location.food

There was no way of knowing when booking that the hotel caters for large school parties. we had children in the rooms either side of us and it was noisy. The room themselves were spacious and a nice bathroom. The air conditioning was rather naff.We were on the 4th floor and often we had to walk up the stairs as the lifts were unreliable. The Perla Hotel is located at the back of the resort and is an 18 minute uphill walk back from the beach. Even as guests you have to pay for sunbeds around the swimming pool.The staff were really nice. The dining room was the pits completely disorganised and the food was a low standard.Buffet meals with long queues. Often dishes were not replenished so if you did not arrive early there was little choice. ...

Review of Perla Hotel, Golden Sands

Isolated Radisson SAS Golden Sands Malta

Advantages: New, Spacious
Disadvantages: Out of the way, expensive, no facilities

Just come back from a week in the Radisson Golden Sands Hotel (October 2007). The Hotel and Rooms are clean and spacious, however beds especially the sofa beds are every uncomfortable. The food is very expensive and unfortunately is nothing special. Good view overlooking the small beach, and good outdoor swimming pools. Bring your walking boots as the hotel is miles from anywhere. There are no shopping facilities apart from a small gift store, a jewellery store, and a poorly stocked excuse for a food store. Overall comments and experience, overrated, overpriced, not a 5*, out of the way, and no facilities. NB: Beware the timeshare reps as they are out to get you. We also experience very bad weather for the week, cold, wet, and very windy and this might have also tainted our view. ...
