Hotel in zona Pomorie Lake, Aheloy

First time in Bulgaria and booked a surprise holiday for my sisters 60th birthday at Festa Pomorie Resort. Hotel located on seafront just step out of your apartment directly onto sandy beach and swim in Black Sea. Apartment suite spacious and spotlessly clean everything you needed in rooms. Kate at reception so helpful. Maria in restaurant looked after us so well always welcoming and attentive. Highly recommend and will be back again Oona Ireland

Peggior hotel che abbia vissuto nella mia vita. Non lo consigliate, soprattutto considerando il prezzo. Positivo: Camere spaziali con vista sul mare sorprendente Piscine interne e esterne SPA negativo: Il condizionatore d'aria funziona in alcune camere 2 volte l'acqua si ferma, e in quel momento ero nella stupida doccia di sapone. Ci sono voluti 3 minuti per tornare l'acqua per colazione e cena, per avere scelte povere e ripetute, tutto è immerso in olio. Tutti si fumano nella zona non fumante, i camerieri non fanno niente per fermarlo e non capiscono l'inglese comunque. E' pieno di piccoli bambini piangendo, un sacco di rumore, e il ragazzo che gioca la musica di sera ha solo 5 canzoni che suona in giro e Iverson ogni notte. Ci sono linee per il cibo, si ha troppo aspettare per il vostro toast francese socked olio per 5 minuti. Caffè? 4 minuti. Linee ovunque. Rumore. Fumo. Benvenuti al vostro 200 euro/giorno vacanza.Godetevi il vostro pasto. Nessuna bevanda per cena. Neanche acqua. 5 stelle hotel e non siete serviti acqua per cena!!!! Devi pagare per questo o soffrire di sete. Nessun acqua, nessun caffè, nessun succo, niente. Vergogna su di voi!!! Il cibo non è molto buono o diverso comunque, avresti almeno potuto darci acqua!!!! Non ci sono sedie da spiaggia inclusi, è necessario acquistare una sedia separatamente o seduto sulla sabbia. Non abbastanza parcheggio. La parte migliore di questa vacanza è la fine, perché posso lasciare questo hotel spaventato e non tornare mai!!!!

I booked this holiday understanding that very little would be open on our arrival date of 10th October. Sunny Beach pretty much shuts down at the end of September. However, if you are not too fond of thousands of people marching up and down the promenade, or hate queing for food or drink this is a perfect spot. The hotel is very clean and looked after despite its age and the breakfast is perfectly fine. Ok, no croque madame or eggs benedict but for the budget everything is there. If you want tea (as anywhere) bring your own PG tips or whatever. the pool is spotless and QUIET! Great for us. And there was plenty of open supermarkets and shops, particularly in Nessebar old town. All in all a great stay at Ivana Palace and I recommend it as a three star.

Just home from a week at sunny day club. I was a bit optimistic after some of the reviews but I needn’t have worried! We were greeted by a very cheery receptionist who escorted us straight into our room(she stayed cheery all week). We obviously had to go to the bar to sample the beer (approx £1 a pint), and got chatting to other folk staying there, some have stayed numerous times and others said they would return after this visit. Pool is lovely and big, a few slides going into it for kids, separated younger kids pool and of course seats in the pool for the big kids.. Plenty sun loungers but it was only the 2nd week in June so not our school holidays yet, maybe quieter, lots of outdoor and indoor seating and a shaded vineyard seating area, very pretty. In the morning we had breakfast, we found something to eat daily; boiled, scrambled, fried eggs(though the lady takes about 15 mins to cook them on the show cooking bit out front), bacon of sorts, smoked sausage, beans, toasts, jams, cereals, fruits, cheeses and hams, salad, just the usual but well replenished and hot. Cuppys, juice and water supplied but sometimes a queue when someone’s filling their 2ltr bottle! The rooms were cleaned daily including clean towels. I had taken a kettle and 2 mugs and they were cleaned too! The outdoor area including under sun beds to out on the street were swept and mopped from 0730, sun loungers wiped down etc, even had 8 cleaners in a row on their hands and knees scrubbing the inside wall of the pool! The staff were very attentive, all of them, they work very hard and for all the reasons stated above, we will definitely be returning! Met some lovely people and just had a great time! So glad I booked and didn’t let the reviews put me off!
