Hotels Near Marina Golden sands in Golden Sands

This is a very nice hotel that's located a very short walk from the Golden Sands beach. Our room (439) was clean and had a great view of the hotel courtyard and the sea. If you want a great view of the sunrise, the view from this room is a great one. On the balcony, there was an extendable clothes drying rack, so there was no struggle to figure out where to hang our wet swimsuits and towels. Security is also good. The room doors operated on card locks and there was a small safe in our room. The safe was not big enough to put a laptop computer in, but certainly big eough for mobile phones and smaller tablet sized mobile devices. All the staff were friendly and attentive and all areas of the hotel were clean and well organised. The offer of food at all meals was very wide, it really was difficult sometimes to decide what to eat. All food was freshly prepared and presented in a self-serve style. The wellness section of the hotel was also very nice and we got very good back massages there. The hotel has three small swimming pools, two outside and one indoors. As good as this hotel is, there are areas it could improve: The main way to get to the beach is through a gate at the back of the hotel property. There is a large, steep set of stairs to go down from the gate to the road that leads to the beach. If you have mobility issues, you may need to find a different way to the beach. The three swimming pools at the hotel all keep the same operating hours, it would be nice if one of them could open later and stay open later than the others. Noise from activities going on in the hotel courtyard is a big obstacle to sleep if you have a room that faces that way. Every night, there was some organized activity going on until late in the evening. Even closing our room window didn't block the noise. Perhaps the hotel could consider putting sound proof windows on the rooms that face the courtyard.

A BAD BAD EXPERIENCE - NEVER GO BACK HERE Let's start in chronological order: you arrive at the hotel, but you need to be careful because there are many options that the GPS provides you (here I was lucky that a friend who was already staying at the hotel shared their location from the parking lot near the reception), paid parking where you need to take a parking ticket that needs to be validated at checkout to avoid charges (I don't know what to do if you want to drive around nearby places, maybe you can validate it every time you go to the reception, but I'm skeptical that it would work); the first interaction with the reception staff follows (they are a bit awkward in communicating in English, but we somehow understand each other), there is no bellboy or person to help you with your luggage as you typically see in 5-star hotels, not that I needed one (I did see someone later in the corridors, but they didn't do anything, and also another guest carrying their luggage on their own rollbox - ridiculous). After a normal wait, I finally receive the room and to my surprise, even though I paid for a sea view, I get a room on the ground floor with a view of the bar terrace and the access stairs (I mention that there are Astor Garden Villas between the hotel and the sea that block the view); I return to the reception where the staff is aggressive in their language, and they tell me that you can see the sea... I manage to convince them to come with me to the room and they show me that you can actually see a small portion of the sea if you make an effort... with frustration, I manage to persuade them to give us another room... which turns out to be on the first floor where I can see a bit more of the sea (although Astor Garden Villas are still quite visible)... I give up and accept the room that was given to me (I regret it now because later, being above the restaurant, the noise was terrible - tourists dragging metal chairs early in the morning or employees throwing dishes and cutlery as if they wanted to break them - they did this throughout the day in the restaurant or outside); Spacious room, new furniture, clean (when I received the room), after that I was constantly chasing the housekeepers to clean or change towels and replenish shampoo, toilet paper, drinking water, etc.; I asked for cleaning on the second-to-last day of stay and was told they would finish tomorrow and couldn't do it - another drawback), large bathroom with a shower cabin and a bathtub (the bathtub doesn't have a shower head) and when you shower, water splashes everywhere in the bathroom, making it very slippery; I also wish the carpet wasn't so rough when you step on it barefoot; ATTENTION!! There's a minibar in the room, but everything inside is chargeable, so maybe make a small inventory when you enter to avoid paying for things you didn't consume, the air conditioning in the room, as well as in the hotel, seems to be working with the brakes on, it doesn't cool enough, and i

Хотелът е моден,чест и удобен в центъра.. Има малък басейн и сауна на последния етаж .Персоналът е много любезен и усложлив. Закуската е много богата и разнообразна и много мила хостеса.Посещавам го многократно и винаги оставам удовлетворена. The hotel is fashionable, clean and comfortable in the center.. There is a small pool and a sauna on the top floor. The staff is very kind and helpful. The breakfast is very rich and varied and the hostess is very nice. I visit it many times and I am always satisfied.

Absolutely magnificent hotel! Staff are so friendly and accommodating. Daily room clean and very comfortable rooms and beds. Breakfast has great choice and never felt rushed. Evening meal is to die for, great choice and not a buffet which is superbe. Try the sea bass and tuna steak with spinach! The location is perfect just across from the beach through the sea garden which is also a delight. We will 100 percent be back next year, this hotel is a real gem

Disappointing. Definately not a four star. This hotel is so overrated and overprized. There are other hotels close by giving better value for money. On the positive side there is a nice reception area. And the bed is quite comfortable. The view is overlooking a crossroad. On the other side the hotel is old and worn. In the room there are no sockets near the bed. AC is central govern. Not possible adjusting temperature in the room. I left it on max cold for 24 hrs. No difference. It’s just a fan blowing. The hotel is located in the street. You get a lot of traffic noise from the crossroad outside. Furthermore curtains are not lightproof. You wake up at 6am by sunrise. And then there is breakfast. Breakfast is the worst I had in ages. Simple, cheap and a complete mess. They are trying, but definately struggling. Cheap, greasy low quality products . In addition they deny to refill after 9.30 and turn off the lights 10.05 while guests still are eating. Breakfastroom is crowded, lacking tables. Staff is hostile passive aggressive and shows horrendous behavior. But coffee was ok! Under the surface they really need to improve their quality. I am glad I only stayed two nights.

Slightly older hotel with recently refurbished rooms and reception. Rooms are nice and service ok. It is not a four star hotel. Maybe room is three, but lacking amienties to be four. Breakfast is simple and no more than two star. Bed a little too hard for my liking. AC is central govern with just modest control in the room. Room temperature set to high. Curtains not fully lightproof. A bit out of city center. Quiet in the hotel for sleep quality

The 100-square-meter suite has only one bathroom and no sink (it is completely separated from the bathroom into two rooms...)
