The cleanliness is very good with local ladies washing the strets down in a morning and sweeping up. The only mess you see is leaflets what holidaymakers throw on the floor, and the beach is great. The resort is good for one week but once you have walked around every day you need a change so we hired a car and went inland and it was fantastic.We also found it to be alot cheaper than in the resorts. We would go to this resort again but only use it as a base.

The resort was full of life, the beaches sandy and mainly clean with bars shops etc a couple of mins away or sometimes on the beach.
A lovely resort and the locals are very friendly.

We situated were only a few yards from the long beach and sea of Golden Sands and the place itself was cleaned early morning and mid evening. Very clean. Plenty to look at and plenty to do. The little trains that run along the road were especially helpful if one had overdone the walking one way and wished to get home without blisters!! Variety of entertainment from young to old with plenty of shops along the way. Very relaxing and friendly people.

We stayed in the Golden Sands resort it seemed a nice place except for the prostitutes that line one of the main streets and get their business by coming into the restaurants and sitting next to men who are on their own and ask them for business, and the fact that when you go into shops to look the shop staff wont let you just look they keep trying to sell to you.
There were plenty of bars and restaurants to eat in and the food was good and staff friendly.

Golden Sands is a resort aimed at tourists so if you are looking for a taste of Bulgarian Life you will need to travel out.
The beach is great and there a many bars/restaurants etc to choose from if you want to eat out. Everything is very cheap. The shops all sell branded goods and they are very cheap. I would not say that they are all genuine, but at the prices they sell them for they are fantastic value for money.
There are some "ladies of the night" in the resort, but we did not get approached by them although men without any female company did get hassled.
Golden Sands gave us just what we wanted. A beach holiday relaxing in the day and drinking/eating at night.

A pleasure to walk along the pedestrianised promenade. All the better for having a quiet area to the north, and a more lively area to the south and up the hill.
There were none of the annoyances that have been reported at Sunny Beach - electric scooter/buggies/carts, litter, dancing bears, and other animals used as photographers' props.

Beautiful beach, not a lot of entertainment but lots of bars, kareoke, dance, etc.
Some nice restaurants; Chevan Rak...next to Admiral hotel...The wealthy place(chinese) Down steps at back of riu viva hotel turn left.
Lots of shops selling fake designer wear...good copies.The most talented artists drawing portraits...just take a photo. with you
A trip to the monestery is a good trip out...nessebar, and varna...but be careful in varna..gypsyies...selling and some i'm afraid to say thieves.

Think the entertainment was so poor as we went at the end of september and everything seemed to be shuting down but we found a great place for a meal not sure what is was called but it had micky and minnie mouse outside the place and is near the beach.

Golden Sands is one of my favourite places. The beaches are fantastic very clean lots of activities very cheap paragliding etc very safe for children no sudden slopes in the sea.
Restaurants seem to be very good or bad we found a couple of excellent ones with a floor show free, food is very reasonable and the variation is getting better every year.
For the teenagers there is several karaoke bars and discos also some quiter ones for older people. The shops are good but Varna is worth a visit buses run all the time.
The Dolphinarium is not to be missed fantastic. There is a new waterpark opened we really enjoyed this worth a visit some thrilling rides.
