First time visit to this hotel and the last.
The hotel is very clean and so are the grounds.
The food!! What can I say - disgusting it's undercooked, cold, and covered in flies. All of our party had the runs and bad stomachs.

just returned from 2 week all inclusive holiday at the ralitsa. the hotel is very well maintained and extremely clean and situated in walking distance of the beach and resort centre. the hotel caters predominantly for german tourists and as a british holidaymaker there was a distinct feeling of being second class. the evening entertainment was poor and again aimed at the german element.
the food was extremely poor and despite there being a variety of dishes to choose from they all seemed to taste the same. children of 7 and 11 found it exceptionally difficult.
we would not consider returning to this hotel.

The Ralistsa was a very nice hotel. It was the first time we had visited Bulgaria. The following things shocked us :
We lost our child for about 12 hours, the hotel reception staff and Albena police were not the least bit interested (afterall there are lots of children uncared for children in Bulgaria) I went to the police station to report my Son missing and they were more interested in beating up two Bulgarain young men than trying to find my missing child.
None of the Police spoke any English.
I asked repeatively the receptionist to help me find my child, thet didn't want to know.
The swimming pools look very nice, however they are freezing cold, not heated at all, not even the indoor pool.

we have just come back from an amazing week at the ralitsa hotel the cleanliness was very good and the grounds were well kept the staff are very friendly but speak very basic english the food is of a continental nature more catered for the germans and french than the english but you could allways find something good to eat the pool is very cold and you struggled to find a sun bed round the main pool but there is a good sized second pool were you could get a sun bed easily
the market was a ten minute walk away and the beach is about 15 minutes away there were shows every night except sundays round the pool and entertainment in general was good but it took forever for the announcements to be over because they did them in three languages

I have just arrived back home from hotel ralitsa. Everything about the hotel was excellent. The food was wonderful, the entertainment was truly amazing and every single member of staff was friendly and polite. We have made lots of new friends notably the prima sol Animation team. A massive thanks must be made to them. They helped make our hoilday an unforgetable experience and are a credit to the hotel. Look forward to visiting again in September. Tom

Excellent hotel for families, plenty to keep the children amused. Staff friendly and helpful and everywhere always kept very clean. Lots of choice in the restaurants, even the awkward kids could find something to eat! A short walk into the resort that even our 3 and 4 year olds could manage. Would definately recommend this hotel!

In June 2004 I stayed at the Hotel Ralitsa for a week on an All Inclusive board basis. It was my first time in Bulgaria and overall it was a very cheap and rather pleasent holiday. Although the reception staff were most ignorant and completly unhelpful I believed the Animation team to be most excellent and very entertaining. The food was also very good as there was plenty of variety and was the standard of food in which you would find in a Spanish hotel. The hotel location was most convinient as it was of walking distance to the beach and resort centre, also the free bus to the beach running every half an hour was a very much appreciated bonus!. The hotel was immaculate in terms of cleanliness as i did not see one piece of litter around the hotel during my stay!. Me and my family are yet deciding on whether to return in September!.

We went on holiday in June 2004 to Ralitsa and had an excellent time, we are hoping to return to this hotel sometime next year because it was so good!
The food was basic but it wasn't bad and it WASN'T undercooked!
The staff at the hotel were so friendly, we made friends with many of the workers and Tom from Cardiff too, a big up to Dimitar the barman!!- he's gr8.
The entertainment is good expecially the Abba night.
The hotel isn't very far from the main street, there's a noddy train that comes every 20 minutes to take you there and a courtesy bus every 30 minutes for the beach.
Make an effort to go here its ace!!

This holiday was my first to Bulgaria and my first staying at the Ralitsa, I must say I will never go again or encourage anyone to go!! I have never stayed in such a poorly run hotel!
The food was appalling and we were lucky not to get any stomach bugs. It was under cooked, cold and unidentifiable, you had no idea what you were eating! We ate out most days and if we did have to eat in the hotel we mainly ate bread.
The entertainment was pointless and was not at all funny!
