We had room 209 apart from having to hold shower spray and not use hairdryer the room was okay. Great Italian if you head towards the house go thru the little side road you have lotus to your right food nice you will come to Chinese, steak house which is good food (don't know about Chinese) Italian is opposite. If you can find Marbella just down road from trakia hotel can highly recommend.

We went all inclusive .we found beer half litre glass 1.50 lev what is around 40p at lots of bars we also ate out a lot because the food was so cheap , food at hotel was good also microwave if u want to have your food red hot .
Seemingly one of the best restaurants was the steakhouse next door to the Marvel, which closed up for the end of season two days after we arrived so didn't get to try it, top tip for the Marvel would be to put their staff on a course to learn how to be polite and engage with holiday makers, at the end of the day it's us who pay their wages!!!
They just didn't care.

No never they need to take more notice of there guest than sit talking to each other pool bar you had to pay for drinks and 5 minute walk to get another drink in a plastic cup even when to stayed in the lobby

the beach was very busy and most of August you can't go into the sea - red flags.
Lots of pubs and clubs and cheap copy clothing but mainly tat for sale. entertainment all quite standard - karaoke, groups singing, magicians, the Maxim male strippers were quite good and their were many erotic bars.
lots of tatooing and hairbraiding.
Plenty pushy people trying to change money on the streets and trying to get you into their bar- it gets quite annoying. clowns in restaurants - but you have to pay them to do things.
watch you change we were ripped off everywhere from the Crown money exchanges shortchanging, pharmacies - twice 14 levs and 40 levs, bars and restaurants, taxis - twice the cost for tourists, gift shops- everywhere!

The resort was very clean for the amount of people there.
All along the front are various bars and restaurants,most have something going on even if its football on the box.
The beach was cleaned and raked over each day. All the usual attractions were on the beach,paragliding,jetski,massage,banana boat,food and drink venders.
Would I return,well I've been four times now and so I would say yes even though it seems to get busier each time

Very cheap, very cheerful. There's so much competition for food and drink that everyone puts themselves out for you.
Got absoluely sick of seeing fake designer goods, this really is overkill.
I can't believe people don't see 'ladies of the night', they are everywhere. They appear at bars during the evening and at three a.m. they might even outnumber the punters!
The only positive thing about this is that, as a tourist resort, the 'authorities' will endeavour to keep it as clean and violent free as possible...
The beach and sea are tolerable, generally clean.
The sea is non-tidal so you can get some seaweed but it was not an issue to me.
Lots of sunbeds and brollies, and also plenty of free space if you just use a towel or airbed. Sunbeds and brollies are charged at 6Leva each per day, so 18 Leva for two beds and a brolly (£7 approx).
I think that anyone can find the spot on the beach to suit them along Sunny Beach, there are quiet areas, different types of music, near to bars or restaurants etc.

Plenty of bars and restaurants and we had some nice meals. If you walked into centre it was very lively.
Beach was fine but as I said before you get charged for everything and it wasnt as cheap as we were lead to beleive.
Overall the holiday was okay because there was so many of us so we had each others company, but on our own I'm not so sure.

Beach nice and clean little bit crowded.
Places to eat lots to choose from Neptun,Tropicano,and the pub,were very good especially (the pub) steaks good value. Fast food also good. Hot dogs, burgers ,kebabs, pizza. Khans tent good Nessebar worth a look.
Weather a bit iffy thunderstorms leading to bad drainage, but overall lots to see and do will go again nearly forgot should raise age for scooters and such as accidents just waiting to happen.

Brash, more expensive that I thought, soulless - could be anywhere in Spain, Cyprus etc.
Lots of cheap fake designer goods, kebab & burger bars, dancing bears/snakes, pavement artists, bars & restaurants on a wide promenade. BEWARE! You run the risk of been ran over by kids on mopeds/bikes when walking (no helmets!!)
Beach lovely soft sand, but you have to pay to get a sunbed/parasol (18 leva/£8 ish per day!), and you can't sit in front of them even on your own towel (near the waterline) as it is a private beach?? Weird!

I would not stop in the village or either of the hotels because every person we spoke to had problems wherever they were staying.
Entertainment was probably better in the Royal Park.
Beach full of rubbish and cigarettes.

I really liked it ~ very livly something for everyone.Loads of shops with very very good copied clothes. the food was fantastic never had a bad meal out. and it was so hard to spen your money. large beer 80p, food and drinks for 4 less than £20. football tops £13.
will go back again~ Just be prepared to pay a small charge for the toilet but they are 9 times out of 10 very clean. and you will get cloudy days even heavy rain but doesnt last too long. Bravo 4 could of been better but over all the holiday was good.

The immediate vicinity of the hotel is very clean, there is an army of people sweeping and wiping all day. Torrential thunderstorm foxed them though, called in the fire brigade for that.
The resort entertainment consists of hundreds of booths squidged up together offering dodgy sunglasses,counterfeit t-shirts (some of the logos are a bit iffy, so watch the kids), hooky Zippo lighters,home brewed perfume, cigarettes of questionable origin, currency at too good to be true exchange rates, brand new Nazi and Soviet bric a brac,property shops,sparkly jewellery, engraved rice, henna tattoos, hair beading, baked potato vendors (with yellow cheese)these are seperated by grill restaurants whose staff will waylay you and give you leaflets, the less polite ones who probably like to force you in at gunpoint but this is presumably not yet legal. They certainly aren't above grabbing you by the arm. I have a feeling that Ronald will be surprised to find that he has at least three McDonalds up and running here. I didn't mind the nice ladies from the exotic dancing club, they seemed very friendly, wife didn't seem to take to them though. There are bars who play disco music at competitive volumes, this is overlaid with the live musical entertainment in some of the restaurants, I can't sing to save my life but I reckon if I was brave enough I could get a gig or two. Wandering through this little lot are a few beggars, one odious git with a bear on a rope, a couple of chancers who dress up as Shrek, Pink Panther, Spiderman etc. One grabs the kid, one takes the photo, they both demand payment, they will also wander onto the beach in search of their prey, I have a grudging admiration for the bloke who sits on his backside with a snake round his neck, you can take a photo with your own camera, this is obviously a bit cheaper and he strongly feels it represents excellent value. Wonder what happens to the snake when it gets too big. Zipping in and out are electric scooters and golf carts, they are a real pain cos you can't hear them coming, there a few four wheel pedalo thingies but these generally just grind to a halt and cause jams. Pavements have a very high ankle breaking capability.
We found a cracking fish restaurant near the centre called Captain Cooks, there are probably a few more like it, hopefully, but they are in the minority. Steak and chips then is not a problem, nor is karaoke, nor is thumpy disco music, but if you want a bit of local flavour you will need to go further afield.
Beach is free for the first 4 metres, (metric measurement similar to a yard, but not as good) but do not erect your own parasol, it is forbidden. The rest of the beach is laid out with loungers and parasols, 18 lev a pop for two loungers and a parasol, but well organised. Bathers appear to have to defer to the jet skis, if you love the smell of napalm in the morning, then you will enjoy the not infrequent whiff of 2-stroke, there is a speedboat or two offering parascending and dragged inflatables, you will be offered massages, daily. We were offered, by someone claiming to be the hotel lifeguard, cigarettes at competitive rates, drinks from the bar at the standard price, and currency exchange at a rate he described as better than that offered by his alleged employer, what is more he guaranteed that he was not operating the scam where his police accomplices would then arrest you for illegal currency dealing and 'fine' you. Persistent chap, good English, drove me mad.
Water was nice, gentle slope to the beach so the kiddies and elderly had a fighting chance to outrun the jellyfish.
Beach cleaned every night by a couple of tractors and an old Soviet army lorry that collected the rubbish.
I bet this resort was absolutely cracking a few years ago but as far as our personal taste goes it has now just about been trashed. You need the fun stuff in easy reach, but you also need a bit of respite where you can chill, catch a few rays and know the kids can run around safely without some entrepeneur trying to sell you something every 5 minutes, and you need to be able to do this without confining yourself to your hotel pool for two weeks. (Even there a strange lady came up to me and barked 'Bras and knickers!' I prefer to think she was selling new stock) I am not sure such a place exists in this resort. Still, takes all sorts.
