Rooms were really clean and well looked after.
Only gripe was that the food is the same almost everyday and generally under cooked. Pool is excellent. Security boxes for your belongings, you may want to think twice 3 got broken into.
We travelled to a gypsy market on a Thurs, and 3 people got purses snatched be very careful!!!

The reps in were very nice and they put on a great show in the evenings.
The food was very nice and you had lots of choice the hotel and pool were lovely the hotel had table tennis bowls dart and lots more.
There were two parks in the grounds of the hotel and a small supermarket.
I would definitely go back to this hotel.

The pool area is lovely and beach towels are supplied. There is also a beach bar on the beach which is included in the all inclusive package.
There are activities going on all the time if you want to participate - the entertainment staff are excellent and really made our holiday.
Situated on the beach it is out of the centre but a little train leaves ever few minutes outside the hotel to take you down for 2lev.
There are bars and shops all the way along the beach - very cheap!! I cannot say enough about this hotel. It is advertised as 3star but in my opinion definately 4 star. I cannot say enough about this hotel - we loved it!!

Not a great place for sightseeing but thats the only complaint. If you want fun and a cheap holiday bulgaria and the riu evrika are the place to go.

The last day I had my money stolen from the hotel room a little interest from the reception and manager wouldn't have gone a miss. This cancelled out all the good things about the holiday. Heard the safes aren't any safer as they got broken into during the stay as well.
Food became very repetitive night after night chips and pasta for me everynight and no gateaux to be seen.
You can walk right out of the hotel near enough on to the beach which was great and bars and restaurants are everywhere along the beach front.
Mini disco is available for the younger kids at night, they seemed to enjoy and also as a souvenir you can buy the hotels songs that they played during the stay. Including there club song!
If you wanna cheap holiday this is the place to go!

The hotel did more than enough to compensate us for our trouble by giving us all pool view rooms and another room free and also allowing us to keep one of the rooms on the last day till 8pm free of charge .

Afternoon tea in snack bar (3 - 5pm) - sandwiches, cakes, ice creams
Dinner in restaurant - 2 sittings 6-7.30 and 8-9.30 - allocated on arrival - but if you are not happy they will change your sitting for you (we did). - food similar to lunch - 2 meat dishes, a fish dish, sometime veggie macaroni cheese, pasta pizza etc.
Reastaurant has smoking and non smoking sections. Drinks with meals include soft drinks, cordials, rehydration drinks (a nice touch for those who needed it), beer red / white wine and water. Just help yourself to anything you want. Food is cooked fresh on the "hot buffet" area, so you can pick which pieces you want!!!! At the start of the sittings, the staff line up and wish you "bon appetit" as you enter!!! The entertainment guide is outside the restaurant (which is on 2nd floor but has a lift to it) and some staff wait outside the restaurant at dinner time in themed outfits - relating to entertainment that night - imagine the "Grease" night, with staff dressed up as pink ladies and whatever the men the wearing, dancing and miming to the songs as you go to the restaurant!!
Cleaners cleaned the rooms every day and changed towels daily if you left them on the floor. They supply pool towels as well so you dont need to really take your own. Toiletries (sample size) are in the bathrooms along with a hairdryer. The whole bathroom is tiled and is lethal when wet, so we put the small hand towels on the floor to stop the kids getting hurt. There were a lot of Germans in the hotel, and it is clear that the staff prefer the english to the germans and love the kids. (My son always got the freshest and best foods!!!)
On the whole the staff are great. Entertainment was from 7.30 am until almost midnight.
There are 5 bars in total - a beach bar (make sure you sit in the right area on the beach otherwise you will get charged for the sunbeds. Evrika guests get them free on the evrika beach), a lobby bar, a pool bar, a rainy bar and the bar saloon. They all have pretty much the same drinks - coffee, tea, water, cordials, fruit juices, gin, vodka, liquors tequilla etc. They have 3 set cocktails that they do for adults and 2 for kids, but if you ask for something else they will make it if they have the right spirits (we had tequilla sunrise and a baileys!!!) - The baileys blows your head off!!! Cocoa liquor, whisky, milk and cream!!!!
They also serve Vermouth types. There is a menu with all options on it. There is no limit to how many drinks you can take at a time. Some people were taking over 10 drinks at once to save queuing, but the longest we ever queued was less than 5 minutes - I wait longer at my local!!
We had a family room - which had 2 single beds, a double camp bed (I slept here with the baby!!) and a cot, but there was still enough room for another bed if needed. There was a triple wardrobe (with hangers!!)
two bedside tables, a dressing table area, 2 small coffee table, a mini fridge and a TV. When we arrived, after midnight, they had opened the restaurant for us and there was breads, cheeses, sliced meats, salads, and some fruit waiting for us - this was a nice surprise as we were expecting to go hungry until the next day.
The hotel was slightly out of town centre (ideal for kids though) at the start of the promenade. We found this ideal as we were at the start of the shops, bars etc and if you walk to the central areas without stopping it only took 10 mins. It took us much longer as we didnt want to miss anything in any of the shops!!!
My husband enjoyed it so much that we are booking to go again next year!!! I couldn't recommend it more

It was great that we had a small fridge. The food was ok, there was always something we liked but not as hot as I would of liked it. Bit disapointed you couldn't get wine with your meal but the guys could have beer.
The hotel is very family orientated with loads for the kids to do all day, the hotel entertainers were very friendly and took time out to talk to you if they could speak your language.
The pool was lovely and cleaned every night.
It was only a 15 minute walk up to the central part of the resort and our hotel was 5 minutes to the beach with free loungers and beach bar which was great.
Weather was fantastic and I would recommend this hotel to anyone but especially for families.

Each room came equipped with a tv showing three English channels and a hairdryer in the bathroom. Rooms were cleaned daily although on several occasions no towels were left in the bathrooms. All public areas were well kept and a number of staff were dedicated to sweeping up the garden areas and garden maintenance.
The food has been described as 'International', many meals comprised of stews and the soups were good. However many main courses were not kept as hot as normal as apparently Bulgarians prefer them that way.
Unlike many all inclusive properties, the Evrika's food provision ended at dinner. We were given the earliest of two sittings - from 6pm to 7.30pm which allowed our children to participate in the Mini Disco held from 7.30 onwards. The hotel has its own entertainments team who are fluent in several languages. The hotel run Mini Club runs for two and a half hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon. Our children enjoyed the activities despite being in a minority as not being able to speak German.
The hotel has its own section of the beach with sun loungers and a beach bar - accessed through the use of hospital type bands - red for children and peach for adults.
Whilst we enjoyed the time spent at this property, the temperature of the food concerned us at times (having young children) and both my husband and I agreed that we would prefer to be more central to the resort.
