My partner and I stayed in hotel Pomorie, Sunny Beach, Bulgaria for a fortnight during a summer holiday. Having originally booked for a lower standard hotel, we found it a pleasant surprise to be upgraded to this large three star hotel with 287 twin rooms, 31 family rooms & 23 single rooms.

The hotel reception, although dark, is clean and large with a couple of bars and couches dotted about. We had to wait in a queue to check in, which isn't ideal for 4am but this could happen anywhere and there were plenty of staff on the desk to deal with us, thankfully the check in was quick and painless and over and done with in about half an hour. The reception is mostly brown and cream and although the colours look old fashioned, the reception is still pleasant enough to sit in.

The decor of the room was predominantly orange. This, however, wasn’t unpleasant and we were happy with our room. There were two single beds next to each other with bedside cabinets, a large wardrobe, a large dressing table and a table and two chairs for sitting at.

We were able to deal with the noise most of the time as we are a young couple - I'm not sure that the more mature holiday maker or a family would be able to cope with this level of noise. To combat this, if ever booking this hotel, ensure to request a room at the back of the hotel as these rooms are much quieter and overlook the pool.

The pool at the hotel is fantastic, it’s absolutely huge. Due to the hotel being extremely family oriented, the pool can be full of kids but its large enough for all to have their fun. Its not too deep for the slightly unconfident swimmers like myself but still deep enough for diving and it has a great swim up bar. Loungers have to be paid for but they are only 5 lev a day for two (about £2). If like ourselves you like to go out and about during the day and sunbath later- hire your lounger in the morning and leave your towel on it, this is something I would never normally do, but appeared to be the norm at the Pomorie, otherwise you would need to lie on a towel. There is a kids pool, but due to the depth of the larger pool older children tend to play in both.

There is a general shop attached to the hotel for all your needs. A beauty salon is also attached to the hotel - I had a manicure and my other half had a massage, both of which were great and cheap, although there isn't much conversation to be had while you are getting them due to the language barrier. I believe that since we visited, there are now extensive beauty and leisure facilities. There is also

Facilities and entertainment in the hotel includes a kids club, amusement arcade, three bars, two restaurants and a café with pool tables. Apparently there is a poolside quiz and water volleyball but we never attended either. The brochures and websites I have seen tend to rave about the kiddy club – I can honestly say that I seen no sign of this during my fortnights stay although it is possible that this could be in a different part of the hotel that I didn’t see – I doubt it though. The attractions for kids in the hotel are really rather good, I'm sure they won’t ever be bored.

The beach is directly across from the hotel and this part of the beach is quieter than the beaches further along the resort - making it easier to get a lounger. The beaches in sunny beach become extremely crowded throughout the day with rows and rows of loungers and hundred of people in the water.

The Balkan holiday’s rep office is located in the hotel and the rep can be found there between 5-7 every evening if you need help with anything, we found her extremely pleasant and she knew her stuff.

The hotel, as is the resort, is ideal for families, there is plenty of the little ones to do.
