This was a holiday we will want to forget. We were robbed of the money by a pickpocket on the second day, petty crime is rife in this area. hiring an expensive safe deposit box is essential here. The hotel was a long walk from the beach up a hill and you had to pass through the tacky area here the nigh clubs and karaoke bars are located. The rooms are well furnished although we did find the beds comfortable, in need of replacement. The air conditioning was ineffective .No tea or coffee making facilities.we were located at the font of the hotel overlooking the swimming pool on the 6th floor. In theory this was good but because of the lifts which were slow and temperamental we often had to walk up which was far from ideal. The dining room was terrible long queues for the buffet and the layout was on the food was badly organised. The food was just about edible but overall a low standard. One plus point there was always a selection of fresh fruit Also the hotel hosted a young and lively German tour company so it could be quite boisterous. there did seem to be a school party also during most of our visit. You also had to pay for sunbeds and umbrellas around the hotel swimming pool whether you wanted them for the day or an hour. So overall peaceful was not a word that came to mind. With one thing and another we concluded our holiday was an absolute nightmare and we will not be returning or recommending either the Perla Hotel or the resort of Golden Sands.

I'd agree with Tricksty, much of Bulgaria is fantastic but the resort areas are terrible. It's like judging Spain on the Costa del Sol.

We have been there and fully endorse all you say. Fortunately we were not robbed but know of other British tourists who have suffered this fate.

You picked possibly the worst part of Bulgaria to visit! I've lived her for 5 years and love it. xxx
