Golden Sands has more bars/clubs/restaurants than any other resort I have been to (including Magaluf/Ayia Napa/San Antonio etc). However, it is not all 18-30s types - it is very geered up for families. The little trains that run you around the resort are great for the kids.
Beware of the deformed beggars (quite disturbing) as well as the 'ladies of the night'.
You have to pay for any toilets that you use and on the beach you can only sit in designated areas unless you buy a sunbed. Go as far down to the left of the beach you can go (where the harbour is) and you will find a lovely, quiet beach.
This resort has obviously had money spent on it, as it far outweighs any of our sea fronts back home for cleanliness etc.
If flying from Varna to Golden Sands DON'T pay any more than 30lev for a taxi from the airport. We got charged 90lev going out and we were ripped off.
Bulgaria is lovely and it will even nicer when more English people discover it.

Beach was good when we finally reached it, with life guards present all day. Restaurants were very few and far between. Standards were quite low everywhere.

The resort is clean and friendly but they only want your money if you decline their offer (of a cheap meal or other) they will bad mouth you and tell other touts you are nasty people) How do I know this ? (I studied the language before I left Scotland)
If you want a really good night out with no kids involved then go to Albena this is the best me and my partner loved it. The Mambo bar (in the shopping mall) is the best and from 10 til 12 its happy hour!!
You will go home drunk and very very happy!!!!

The resort was very clean, much cleaner than back home. Entertainment was OK.
The street artists are really good; take a favourite photograph and they will paint it for you in pastels or oils. They also take pictures for you.
The beach was nice and clean but the sea is a bit rough. A bit pricey for sun loungers too. Don't go on the pier in the centre as it is very dodgy with huge holes and rusty metal poles.

I was surprised at how clean the streets and the beach were as they were virutally spotless.
There are loads of bars where you can sit outside and in aswell as plenty of nightclubs. Bonkers is a lot of fun and the PR club is really nice inside with dancers dancing on the stage and the bar. Clubs are open til 6 but only ever managed to stay out til about half 3.
There are a number of prostitutes out on a night but don't approach men if theyre in a group or a family. The beach is good with watersports which are quite cheap and worth the money.
Varna is quite close by but make sure the taxi driver doesnt rip you off. I would go there again as its really hot and nice and cheap!

This resort is the most cleanest we have ever stayed in. The beaches are spotless. There are plenty of shops along the front and an abundance of restaurants and bars.
There is plenty to do in this resort. It is very lively at night especially in the strip {that’s what most people called it}
We found nothing in this resort off-putting and cant wait to return next year.
The weather could have been better, 2 days rain, but it was still very hot.
If we did have a complaint it would only be that the sunbeds and brollies could have been cheaper.
We would recommend this holiday to anyone, couples singles and families.

Beaches are great and there are plenty of places to eat. Everything is cheap and geared for families.

Golden Sands was disappointing - building work going on all over the place, people trying to drag you into their bars, restuarants or shops.
There are some nice swimming pools on the sea front however this adds up to an expensive day out. You have to pay separately for beds, mats, parasols, water slide, and blow-up bouncy thing in middle of the pool. Visit there every day with 2 kids and you will know all about it - this is before you have even bought a drink or something to eat.
We found a few nice restuarants but no cheaper than at home. Try Evergreen!
We booked this holiday as an extra break and did not find this resort especially cheap. We spent about as much here as we would have in Tenerife or Corfu.
