Hotel Mura

Heartfelt thanks to the team of Hotel Mura and manager Mr. Kliment Kolev Everything at Hotel Mura is simply wonderful – the cleanliness, the service, the delicious food, and the overall atmosphere that makes you feel calm, cared for, and truly welcome. But what makes our stay truly special every time are the people. The staff are incredibly polite, attentive, and kind – always with a smile and ready to help. We feel looked after, appreciated, and valued – something that is rare to find. A special thank-you to the manager, Mr. Kliment Kolev – a person whose presence sets the tone for professionalism, warmth, and respect. It’s clear that he loves what he does and truly cares about both the guests and his team. You can feel it in every detail. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for creating a place we return to not just for the sea, but for the feeling of being at home. With love and gratitude, Ekaterina Isaeva & friends

We had a very different experience in this hotel from the first 4 days to the last 3 and that was all down to the clientele... But let's start with the resort itself. Albena Resort Albena itself is a specifically built, family-friendly resort with probably 50+ different hotels and linked facilities such as bars/restaurants/shops/amusements/water park etc.. There was children's entertainment, bumper cars, hair braiding, henna tattoos, and even tennis courts and horse riding. We had a dinosaur park during our time there so there are themes that run through the year. Be aware, everything is "tourist price" though so a lot of things are very expensive. It is a very clever set up so although you "book" a hotel, what you are actually booking is an entire resort. We were told the area used to be a wine region and a lot of the area is protected in the Baltata nature reserve, so the tagline of "beautiful by nature" is true. A few investors created several resorts along the coast, Albena being one of them. Beaches The beaches (advertised as 6km long split into 21 separate beaches with 'free zones' in between - but all just one long beach AND approx 2.5km long usable for tourism) are advertised as the best in Bulgaria and won the holder of the "Blue Flag" eco-award for the cleanliness of the sea, the beach and the entire territory. To be fair, the beaches are immaculate BUT this is down to the amazing team of staff that maintain them and NOT the clientele that abuse them: littering and unable to simply walk to a designated bin on their all inclusive resort... This was extremely disappointing and just shows the disrespect people have for the environment and mother nature. The beaches are manned by lifeguards during certain hours (till 1800) and the hotels provide sunbeds and parasols: note the first two rows from the ocean are chargeable though and not included in any package holidays. There are no beach towels supplied either, so make sure you bring your own, or there are some great options available at the 24/7 shop for 10lv (less that £5). The Ocean was nice, clear water and warm, a top tip from us is if you don’t mind the walk (2+km from the hotel along the coast road) you will come to the end of the ‘tourist’ beaches – there is a barrier that says no entry but this is the start of the local beaches, which in our opinion had calmer water and was a nicer environment away from the hustle and bustle of people. Please respect the locals though – this is their space away from tourists to enjoy family time. We used to run early morning along the coast road every other day, so the beaches were pretty empty. The coast road also breaks up around the 3.5km mark on/off for the next 1km but after that, it’s a great road – all the way too Balchik. It is also noteworthy: I was absolutely annihilated by tiny black biting flies, I have over 200 bites from a 1-week holiday, the kids and husband were slightly better but looking around at other people and doing a b

This is the best hotel in albena. The rooms were wide and cozy. The traditional bulgarian night and the sea night were amazing

This was the best experience i have ever had in summer vacation. All the staff especially the manager and the bellboy were so good and kind.

Beautiful place and nice people. The food was excellent. Rooms cleaned. Everything was ok. Hope to come back next year too!

A hotel full of beauty! We had a beautiful experience here. The staff was very nice, we had fun in the sea, we walked through Albena, an overall beautiful experience. I would definitely come again and have fun one more time in this amazing hotel.
