1) Местоположение отличное, рядом с пляжем. 2) Еда разнообразная, без морепродуктов. Было мороженое около 16 часов каждый день. 3) Уборка в номерах оставляет желать лучшего. Полотенца хотели поменяли только в конце пребывания. В принципе для непревередливых гостей все было удовлетворительно.

Let's start with the room. When we checked in, the towels in the room were dirty, the curtains were not fixed all the way, dirty, wrinkled, the windows were also dirty. There were cobwebs under the nightstand. There is a minibar, but it is empty, there is absolutely nothing in it, the toilet paper was wet. There was dust on the table and nightstands. The room was not cleaned even once during the week, although we asked more than once, the most they could do was change the towels once and give toilet paper. When we asked to change the bed linen, we were ignored. On the plus side, the air conditioning worked. Bar and food. Only two bars with drinks. They work until 23:00, only 6 cocktails to choose from: beer and wine, the bartender said he would only make the rest of the drinks for tea. The food in the hotel, to be honest, is not very good, we had to go to restaurants outside the hotel to eat, the food in the hotel is ALWAYS cold, there is almost no choice. There is almost no animation either. Only two swimming pools, there is a lot of sand in the pool and no one cleans it, the sun loungers are all in bird **** 😂 The umbrellas are broken, they wobble right on the sun loungers. Unfortunately, the hotel does not have its own beach either.

Были в этом отеле всей семьей. С первых дней начались проблемы. Приехали мы в 10 утра в отель. Заселение в 15-00 и ни на секунду раньше, но нам в агентство сказали в 14.00. Тыкали нас носом в правила и на часы... Очень грубый и не приветливый персонал! ( и это только 1 день заселения). Номер был очень старый/пошарпаный. У нас было заплачено 3+1. Но номер у нас был как 2+1. Только маленькая софа где по их мнение должны спать двое детей ( 13 лет, 8 лет). После много просьб на ресепшен в 21.30 нам принесли раскладушку. Металическая сетка и 2 трубы ножки скрипели прогибаясь чуть ли не до пола и при молейших движениях ножки разьезжались в стороны и ребенок падал на пол. В ванной мигала лед лампа. Фен старый даже не было возможно сушить волосы. Холодильник не работал. Телевизор показывал с сильными помехами. Номер с видом на парк постоянно воняло мусорка. Басейн для деток с гокрой был грязный. Ресторан- это полная антисанитария. Бесконечные очереди! Чашки заканчивались быстро -- их не меняли. Пол отпуска пили чай с пластиковых. Еда очень маленький ассортимент: 1-2 вида супа кто по ходу готовил не повар а уборщица, 4 подноса для мяса (1 рыба/ 1 курица/ 1 свинина и 1 жареные колбасы/сосиски), 4 для гарнира: либо картошка фри, либо рис в перемешку с макаронами, 4 на салаты( помидоры+огурцы/ шинкованая морковка / листья салата ) и нарезки отдельно тех же помидор и огурцов. Едф было прям несьедобным и как помои(супы все такие были) и очень МАЛО персонала. Из-за этого очереди бесконечные на все. Просто в ожидании то посуды, то еды, то уборки столов. Это было большая ошибка выбрать этот отель. Постели и полотенце не меняли.

It is the first time since we go to Bulgaria and there have been several times when I leave a review and do not recommend a hotel. Except for the superb location and the animation team, here I mean Miro together with the three gorgeous young people, full of energy and cheerfulness who managed to "enliven" the atmosphere, I have nothing positive to say about this so-called 4-star hotel. I try to mention a few aspects, starting with the total lack of cleanliness in the room, which was only done on the 5th day, a tiny cameo with a carpet soaked in dirt, unwashed windows, full of cobwebs, peeling paint, the bathroom as tiny, the swollen wooden door opened into the entrance door, you barely had room to sit on the toilet, old tiles and a horrible smell coming from the sewers (when we reported to the reception, we were told it was because of the heat. ..). Then I would like to mention another important aspect. The hotel had a swimming pool, but we didn't dare to enter it until the 5th day because the water was cloudy, you couldn't see the bottom, and when I noticed this aspect, the "manager" was bothered and told us that the analyzes are ok.... In addition, they don't have sunbeds on the beach, I paid 36 leva daily for 2 plus the umbrella, they have private parking but for which I paid 70 euros for 8 days. The food....we are not pretentious knowing what we find in Bulgaria, but this time there were few types of food, cakes full of syrup...the classic Bulgarian drinks...there is no Internet in the rooms, I don't know about the rest how does it work because I used net from abobation. In conclusion, I do not recommend this hotel, I would not return there

Лучшая кухня,лучшие Бармены Тони и Божийдар,лучшие аниматоры которые развлекают Ваших детей.Всем советую этот отель. Всем привет ВАМ от Гали и Владимира.

Being a 4 star hotel and with the impression you get from the internet when you book, it is nowhere near what you can expect. The hotel itself is quite dilapidated, the lift is out of order every two hours and the room was not clean when we arrived. Things that were broken were only half done to fix. Hole in the ceiling, lots of dust etc. The outdoor area is great, and the staff were very nice. We also had all inclusive which we were very disappointed with due to the selection. You had the same thing every single day, no change.. Could also have had more choice of drinks without alcohol. Other things that were good were the entertainment at the hotel. But all in all this is a hotel that was not worth the money, and that we never would chosen again… We changed hotels after a week, to a hotel that was 3 stars, but 10 times better. So Kaliakre, or Vemara beach (??) Hotel, after the change of name, has a lot to do before they can have the 4 stars..

The Vemara Beach Hotel (formerly Kaliakra, I think they changed their name) has 4 stars, but in my opinion it deserves 3. Maybe I'll tell you one by one. The advantage of the hotel is undoubtedly its location. It is located right next to the beach and the main promenade, which is important because Golden Sands is located on quite a steep slope and the hotel located further away means a steep uphill climb every time you return to the room. The hotel itself is quite elegant and it was rather clean, apart from a few forgotten places such as the communal bathroom. The room was large, the air conditioning worked as it should. The rooms are rather nice, although someone really liked the dark brown colors, which make the furniture and curtains look a bit gloomy. In the hotel, guests are divided into better and worse. The better ones have the right to free use of the beach (and the sun loungers are quite expensive) and to rooms with a sea view. The worse ones have windows on the other side overlooking the neighboring hotel or some bushes. After arrival, we found out that we were inferior, which our office did not warn us about, but we quickly found out about it, also after the less nice service. According to our office's offer, there was supposed to be a fridge in the room, but there was none. We went to the reception and although the lady working there was quite dissatisfied, we finally got the fridge. So you shouldn't give up, just fight for yourself. In terms of food, we only had breakfast, but based on them I can say that it was so-so. I didn't like it, my wife didn't even like it. It was all very repetitive and quite greasy. However, the bread was good. There was only one vending machine, there was always a queue, but it wasn't worth it because it was filled with the cheapest concentrate. There are a lot of small children in the hotel who, like small children, cry and squeal. If someone has a low tolerance for this, maybe they should try something else. A related topic is animations. Unfortunately, they mean that the same songs are played at full volume every day. There is quite a lot of it because you can hear both your own and those from the neighboring hotel. The worst of it was probably the animations for small children with songs like "Kundel bury", only in German :) This is definitely not a hotel for those who like peace and quiet. I confirm there is a problem with the elevators. For such a large hotel, there are too few of them and they are too small. It ends with people exceeding the permissible load of the elevator, so we can only hope that it will never break. And that's how it was. There was no tragedy, but various things could have been handled better, so three stars seem deserved.

Night 1 . Banging and crashing about at midnight as loads of polish kids in 1 room . Moved to another room . Curtains broken . Moved again and shown 3 rooms . 2 were not complete so went for a room with a curtain missing . Had to put a blanket up to stop sun and light . No cleaning in rooms . Staff stretched working almost 14 hr shift . No pool cleaning or collecting cups . Ran out of plastic glasses for poolside . Food repetitive and not hot . No selection of desserts and main food if run out not replenished . No such thing as maintenance here . Hardly any selection of drinks in all inclusive . Ice cream when they say and pizza when they say . In a nutshell 1 /5 and 2-3 star hotel at best . Couldn’t cope when it got busy at all 😥

This hotel is old and rundown . We arrived late at night and the room was very nice clean and comfortable. No tea coffee or water in the rooms. Breakfast was awful little choice and did not look good . Get a new cook and clean the outside of the hotel.
