Hi all,
I'm new to the Bulgaria Discussions area (mostly visited the Turkey one) but am considering going here next August. There will be 3 of us, My wife, 15 year old daughter and myself.
I've had a look at a few reviews and most of the AI ones have varying reactions stating that the food is generally not good. For this reason I am looking at B&B hotels (something fresh and modern ideally) and my budget is around £1500-£2000 and I will take around £1000 for spending money for meals out and maybe a few excursions.
I am also looking for a hotel ideally with some form of entertainment or at least something to do/go nearby (to keep my daughter entertained). Also, probably going for around 10 days and like i said, it will need to be middle of August due to school holidays. I assume the weather is very hot this time of year? Also, ideally close to the beach.
Can anyone recommend some nice hotels which fit this criteria, any help or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Justin.

Thanks Robbie, am seriously considering Victoria Palace Hotel, looks lovely, clean and modern. Just what I'm looking for. Will actually be booking sometime in January when I get my additional job income - I do a lot of corporate xmas disco's in December and they pay quite well 
(unless we can pay a smallish deposit and pay the rest in Jan).
So this weekend I will be checking prices and availability, I used Travel Republic last year and the service was faultless. Do you think I should use them again or are there cheaper agencies with good service that I should consider?
[edit] Just saw your suggestion for Balkan, will have a look now
Once again, thanks for the suggestions...

sunseeker 2011. there is another option, book Hotel only through http://www.booking.com (Have used these people and come highly recommended) and book flights separately, they have some good offers at moment and you pay the Hotel on arrival. depends where you need flights from. Tonyt.
Cheers Tony,
I will most probably be flying from Manchester, I'll check out booking.com but have also found it on Travel Republic including flights, luggage, transfers & airport parking for approx £1,600 for 10 nights which is well within my budget.

Victoria Palace has really big rooms, nice decor etc, but sadly the food doesnt seem to be very good.
I stayed in it 5 years ago, and the food was poor. Been back in SB every year since, but not to Victoria Palace, but have heard the same complaints every year from others.

Fenix is good but only go B&B, staff are lovely and rooms big, basic and clean

Where else have you been in Sunny Beach? Can you recommend a good hotel, as high star as possible, may end up going B&B as I've heard it's really cheap to eat & drink in the restaurants.
My budget is around £2,000 for all 3 of us, this must include pretty much everything except spending money (i.e. flights, accommodation, luggage allowance & airport parking).
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's giving me a headache reading all the reviews of different places...
Cheers,
Justin
There are so many hotels in Sunny Beach its hard to pick. I dont use hotels there anymore, prefer to go to an apartment.
Have a few friends who have stayed in Helena and liked it.
B and b or an apartment are your best option in Sunny Beach ( well i think so ) as there are lots of affordable places to eat out.
Have you had a look at Sveti Vlas, its just a few minutes up the road/along the beach and not as busy.

we stayed at that Riu Helios Palace when we were in Sunny beach and it was a brilliant hotel. We had people who had requested to change from the VP as it wasn't up to standard. They thought the Riu Helios was far better. I'm sorry I can't tell you what it's like these days as our stay was a number of years ago but it's in a brilliant location.
Whats the point giving the big hotels thousands of pounds for 2 weeks and being bored with the poor food and entertainment .Also most of the big luxury hotels are at the far end of the resort and not convenient for markets or shops or much else .You are much better to hire an appartement in a small complex with 2 bedroand Victoria oms and near to all amenities . We have been to Majestic and Victoria and thought they were lovely but just too far from fun places .
