forgot to say its in golden sands

Hi Brownetts,

Glad you told us which resort, there's a hotel of the same name in Sunny Beach!

We have a review of the hotel HERE and the resort HERE

AND, the Golden Sands website HERE

Don't think you'll have any problems with either the food (according to most of the hotel reviews), or things to do for the kids in the great resort of Golden Sands.

Hi Brownets
We stayed in hotel kristal last year and enjoyed it 2 adults 4 kids all under 11 there was plenty to do for kids but not much entertainment for adults would say kids club was more for 2/8 year olds my kids loved it as they had pizza parties at night choc parties plenty to keep them amused.The hotel in itself was very clean cleaners everywhere food was okay we always managed to find something to our liking.It is also very cheap to eat out would strongly recommend the Dallas Country Club which is beside the hotel down the back steps dont go by the look of the place which we did for the first week then decided to give it a try 10/10 for food, service,presentation,and price, an example of price for 12 of us 7 adults 5 kids 12 starters,main courses which most of adults had steaks 3 rounds of drinks kids had ice cream and drinks it worked out at £57 for the lot,so give it a try.if i can be of anymore help just ask.

we are going here in june,i noticed this hotel for next year will be allinclusive with what i have read its best not to go ai with it being cheap to eat and drink out.

yes i have priced up a quote for all inclusive 4 adults my kids will be 18/16 was £2500 for the 6th of july for 14 nights wondered if it was too good to be true never been to bulgaria before and was worried that the price ive been quoted is so cheap sounds ok is there lots to do in golden sands bars ect is the beach a good one thanks for all your help

I have never stayed in this hotel but have been too GS 3 times before & All Inclusive is a no no, We are going SC this year ......cheap to eat out & drink plus I know from other hotels I have stayed in in GS that the meals pre paid for are garbbage unless you are German/Russian.

Hi all just booked for next june any info would be great

Hi canrobkeano,

The resort would help, as there appear to be 2 'Kristals'

Thank you baldur it is the golden sands resort.We have been to sunny beach loved it thought we would try golden sands this time.Reviews i have read i would be interested in prices in resort food in hotel prices on floodlit courts my boys love football.

i would be interested in prices in resort food in hotel prices on floodlit courts my boys love football.

Can't quite work out what your questions are, but I know of no 'floodlit courts' in Golden Sands.

Little point in quoting prices. The trend is up, so next year things are likely to be more expensive.

Peter

The hotel kristal has floodlit courts which you pay extra for doesnt state how much

hi we have just come back from here,i am sure its going allinclusive next year pm me and i will give you more info.i would not advise ai though

Hi beachbabe,

As you've recently been to the Kristal, it would be great if you could take the time to post a review HERE so that prospective guests can get an idea about how you enjoyed the hotel (or not).

Thanks,

Baldur

Its going to be ai next year when we go.The food scale in the brochure looks very low.Is it really that bad?,

Hi canrobkeano,

All of the most recent reviews comment on the food, I can't see anything really negative - the general consensus seems to be that it's 'OK' but can be repetitive.

If you don't like the hotel's offerings, it's very cheap to eat out in Bulgaria and there are many restaurants in Golden Sands which offer a wide variety of types of cuisine, see HERE for examples.

On the review, this is the bit I home in on

people should not leave England if they expect English food.

Quite so.
Food in the hotels is self service buffet style. That in the restaurants is a la carte. That's the difference.

Peter

Ive been bulgaria before,Im not fussy as long as its cooked and im not going to get ill.Im quite happy to eat forein food.Just asking what to espect thats all

hi ,dont know what the allinclusive will be like next year,but we have just returned a few complaints but to be honest out of the 9 of us we all though food was ok.loads of choice of salads kids choice .only thing that wasn't to all us liking was the breakfast thats only cause it got repetitive everything was cooked so dont worry about that a few time the veg was a bit hard and chips were only warm

Can anyone tell me if there is any organised football at the Kristal (the Golden Sands one). You know the friendly five-a-side sort where people just turn up at a certain time and have a kickabout. If not, are there any hotels nearby that do this ? I like to have a bit of a runaround to burn off all the beer from the night before - and my son (aged would join in if there are any kids matches too.
