We rested at the Paradise beach hotel for the second time. We were here last year and decided to do it again this year. From August 8 to August 18.2024. We have a large family (my 2 sisters, brother and I with our families) - 14 people. It was my birthday and I thought it would be unforgettable at this hotel. And so it happened, only in a negative way.
Let's start from the beginning: the sun loungers on the beach are occupied by people in the evening, and by the same people. To our question at the reception: could it be that people who once occupied sunbeds on the beach when checking into a hotel simply do not remove their things from them in principle, we were told that they do not have such a person as to vacate the sunbeds at night or in the morning, so like there is no one on them. Although last year it turns out there was such a person, because they didn’t occupy sunbeds like that.
For cleaning. The rooms were cleaned every day, the bed in one of our rooms (we had 4) was changed once in 10 days, in other rooms the bed was not changed even once.
Bulgaria is not the first country where I come and usually every hotel tries to make the guest’s birthday special, which cannot be said about this hotel(. In the evening I asked the administrator of the beach restaurant (Irina) to move the tables (once during the entire vacation - 10 days) , so that we could all sit together. To this she categorically said no, not on the terrace. I asked if this could be done somewhere in a beach restaurant, not on the terrace, she replied that it was impossible. a compromise, to offer something, her advice was: come before everyone else and take a seat yourself, but on different tables, because you can’t move them even at the end of the hall. It was sad and not pleasant, but it was even worse to come to this restaurant. that evening and saw a large group of people in the center of the terrace (5 tables were standing together). I approached the administrator and asked how it was. She replied: the director was on vacation.
If in this hotel the owner writes rules that he himself does not follow, the employee does not find how to get out of an uncomfortable situation, I don’t even know what upset me more: Irina’s incompetence or the owner’s inability to run a business. Therefore, think several times whether it is worth going to a place where you will not be respected...I would not recommend anyone to those who make special dates of guests “unforgettable”!

I chose this hotel for its location. The settlement went well. The territory of the hotel and everything else corresponded to what was stated on the site. This year the hotel was renovated, so the impressions were good. Everything was good with the service, the food was excellent and varied; the room is good, everything worked.

Everything was good with the service, the food was excellent and varied; the room is good, everything worked. everything was civilized in this regard. We were not interested in excursions. To the sea - very close, there was the first line, the elevator descended directly to the beach. In general, we got what we wanted, that's all.

We just returned from the hotel, and I decided to write a review, because I myself read reviews, and maybe it will be useful to someone. The hotel has pros, but mostly cons, alas. The room has tiles on the floor. The beds are uncomfortable mattresses - all the springs are felt. Not to mention the fact that there are no mattress covers, which was very surprising.

We just returned from the hotel, and I decided to write a review, because I myself read reviews, and maybe it will be useful to someone.
The hotel has pros, but mostly cons, alas.
The room has tiles on the floor.
The beds are uncomfortable mattresses - all the springs are felt. Not to mention the fact that there are no mattress covers, which was very surprising.
Three TV channels in Russian.
There are a lot of wood lice and some caterpillars in the room, and there are plenty of them in the building. Room cleaning is disgusting. True linen is clean and changed often, as well as towels.
The hotel has no territory, not counting the paths to the buildings and the beach.
The food is monotonous to disgrace, especially breakfast.
I still get the impression that they are all frying in the same oil several times, which I felt on my stomach.
There is no porridge in the morning, only semolina and cereal. Flakes are poisonous.
The fish is the cheapest and not tasty. True, once there was a shark, so, at least, it was written. They gave a baked Piglet and a turkey.
Sweet very little choice.
Once I even found some kind of bug in the food.
There is no animation - worse than amateur performances at school. The disco is designed for children.
There are a couple of exercise machines in the gym - it's not worth it to pay for its visit.
Internet is free only in the lobby. In the evening, as soon as the news is read more and nothing will work out. We wanted to buy internet in the room, since our building where we lived was far away, it didn’t work: I couldn’t even check the mail.
Briefly everything.

My husband and I specially waited for the time until all the children go to school, adults return to work and there will not be so many people at the resorts . . That's why we took a vacation in September . . We flew to Burgas, quickly reached the hotel, settled us quickly too, offered to change the room for an official surcharge, but we refused, because even though our building was the most distant, the room was very large (obviously not for two, but for a family ), bright, clean, comfortable.

My husband and I specially waited for the time until all the children go to school, adults return to work and there will not be so many people at the resorts . . That's why we took a vacation in September . .
We flew to Burgas, quickly reached the hotel, settled us quickly too, offered to change the room for an official surcharge, but we refused, because even though our building was the most distant, the room was very large (obviously not for two, but for a family ), bright, clean, comfortable.
The hotel itself consists of 4 buildings - the central one, where there is an elevator to the beach, a lobby, a restaurant, etc. - and 3 buildings with only rooms.
Access to the beach is only through the elevator. The buildings themselves are, as it were, on the 8th floor, although this is just an illusion - in fact they are on the ground, but on the edge of the slope, an elevator goes along this slope, brings it to the coast.
There are enough sunbeds and mattresses on the beach, the beach is exclusively of this hotel, NOT public. every 20m - rescue booth. Free ice cream at the beach bar
The food in the restaurant is decent, the choice is not very large, but everything is quite satisfying. There are queues to open areas where food is prepared interactively, but in my opinion it is everywhere . .
The territory is small, so there is nowhere to walk. There are no discos and entertainment either, only animation in the evenings for children is not very healthy . . Therefore, if you are a fan of active nightlife, you are not here . .
And to relax quietly with your loved ones / family - that's it.
I recommend. 8 out of 10.

I am writing a review immediately upon arrival, since the last 5 clearly do not reflect reality. Rested with family (child 8 years old). The hotel will be excellent for those who have not traveled further than the Crimea. 4* hotels in Bulgaria are 3* hotels in Turkey and Egypt (if not worse). I will say right away that the hotel itself is old, they are gradually restoring, but there are elements of the Soviet interior (especially the hall near the reception).

I will say right away that the hotel itself is old, they are gradually restoring, but there are elements of the Soviet interior (especially the hall near the reception). The impression was terrible as soon as we arrived at Paradise Beach 4 *. But gradually the sea, sun and wine smoothed the situation.
I will note some points important to me (maybe it will be useful to someone)
1. There are no double beds in the hotel.
2. The room has a tiled floor.
3. Only Elenite is within walking distance (but go through an unlit wasteland)
4. There is nowhere to walk with the child, evening entertainment animation (for children - they only dance, repeating the movements of the animator and no games and competitions, for adults - not really, but there is nowhere to go and there is nothing more to do, so we watched)
5. Regarding the beach - the location is excellent.
6. Beach towels are more like floor cloths, but sometimes they come across normal ones. For a 4**** hotel this is not acceptable.
7. It is also unacceptable for 4 *** crockery and not always clean dishes. As in the owl canteen....
8. Clean - you can see that they are trying.
Rest by type slept-ate-swimmed-tanned-ate-sleep. The beach is nice, calm, there was enough space for everyone.
If that suits you, go for it! Everything else can be closed.
And yet, the hotel is worth its real money - 80 euros / day ALL for a 3-bed room, and no more!! !

Rested with kids (2.8 years and 10 months). We are very satisfied with the hotel. Although the hotel belongs to the resort of St. Vlas, it is actually closer within walking distance to Elenite. We arrived at the airport at 14.00, went through customs for 40 minutes, then we were met by the TUI and at 16.00 we were at the hotel.

We arrived at the airport at 14.00, went through customs for 40 minutes, then we were met by the TUI and at 16.00 we were at the hotel. Settled immediately and gave bracelets. We had a family room, a large hall, two bedrooms. They put up a crib. The bathroom had a bathtub. When we left, the room was vacated at 12.00. The bracelets were not removed, we left the luggage in the reception room (free of charge) and went to have lunch, and at two we were already picked up by the bus. There are no complaints about the service. Everything was changed on time, cleaned well. The food is simply awesome, different types of meat and fish dishes. Almost a lot of non-spicy, not fried, as suitable for children. And what delicious vegetables, she gave broccoli to her 10 month old daughter, color. cabbage, carrots (boiled). There was also a children's porridge for babies (wheat grain in milk). Of the cereals, one more time there was just wheat porridge and every day rice (in different versions) and noodles. And what delicious cakes.... MMM. . lick your fingers. In general, I was satisfied with the kitchen, cooked a lot, tasty and varied. and you can also freely take food with you when you have small children without it. Of course, not with plates, but we took out fruits, sandwiches, drinks, no one said anything. From entertainment for children, a kids club from 4 years old, a mini disco in the evening, the guys are very cool, the kids ran after them all day. There is also a small playground on the beach, two inflatable trampolines and one regular one, all for free. For adults during the day - volleyball, water polo, darts, aqua aerobics, morning exercises - also free). In the evening, after the children's disco, a fun sketch show. I liked the staff, sympathetic, smiling, although they did not always understand the language. The biggest plus is its large beach with free sunbeds and umbrellas. There was always enough space for everyone. The minus of the hotel is a small territory, but we had enough promenade along the beach, hiking in Elenite and neighboring aparthotels. You can get from the hotel to St. Vlas, Sunny Beach, Nessebar by bus number 8 * (Elenite-Nessebar), runs every 40 minutes. It costs 2 leva from an adult to St. Vlas, to Nessebar 5 lev. Either by taxi, we went from St. Vlas for 8 lev. Even from the hotel beach there is a boat to the Old Town three times a day (25 lev round trip, 15 lev one way). And in Eleniet walk on foot for 5 minutes, just go not along the highway, but along the beach and near the fish restaurant, turn onto an asphalt road. In general, the rest is just super, the children are happy, the parents too. I recommend this hotel to all families with children!

1. Hotel infrastructure at "-4". The main building with reception, lobby bar, currency exchange, souvenir shop, billiards, some other slot machines for children, 3 computers with internet, WI-FI. On the floor below is a restaurant. On the floor above is an open veranda. Elevator tower with 4 elevators and platforms. From the main building to the west, three buildings of three blocks with numbers, to the east, two buildings of three blocks with numbers. Take the elevator down to the 1st floor of the beach. On the 2nd souvenir shop. The beach is good, 300 meters, sand, umbrellas, sun loungers, beach towels are changed at least every day, 7 rescue service posts ("no fools") and another one by the pool !! ! And also a banana, 2 scooters, a boat. The depth of the sea is not great, up to my neck, where it is deeper, where it is shallower, and so 70-100 meters from the shore, then it goes into the depths. The pool is located under the 5th building. There is a stage with seats for spectators. Bars on the beach and by the pool. Yes, there is a barbershop and a gym. And a masseuse on the beach. And parking for cars. Between the buildings and the beach is located "zelenka". These are tangled trees, shrubs, flowers, etc. . The cat won't get through! Well, many hotels don't even have that! Further along the beach is a private fish restaurant with very pleasant smells. But, after his restaurant, he did not have enough strength! 2. We lived in the 5th building, above the pool. Standard number. Everything is fine. The central air conditioner works great. Room cleaning, change of linen, towels - no problem. The maid laid out swans, butterflies. We thanked her at the end. From the wide balcony, the view from Elenite to the sunny beach, you can clearly see Nessebar, the lights of Pomorie, Burgas and the mountains further south. But this is only from the second floor and above. From the first close the trees. Well, maybe there is some light somewhere. 3. Food - excellent, a lot of salads, appetizers, herbs, seasonings, etc. , etc. varied and tasty. A lot of fruits - apples, apricots, peaches, bananas, oranges. Wine red, rose, white - excellent! Rakia - CLASS!! ! Beer "Slavia" light - excellent! Cocktails in bars - as my wife put it - "shmurdyaki"! Let's just say it's for teenagers to show off. 3. Arrived in Burgas, TUI representative met, let's go. They searched for our hotel for a very long time, called three times on a mobile phone, found it !! ! e. after dinner is over. And before dinner, go hungry. But, then the bar took sandwiches, coffee.... held out. The hotel speaks Russian very poorly, English. even worse, and in general some not very sociable. Clamped by socialism probably. In general, "on the fingers" communicated. Our room was above the pool. Everything would be fine, but at night in the pool they turn on the backlight, and the lamps are mercury, and therefore it was in the room, like at noon, they pulled special thick curtains (it’s good that they were), then they were ordinary, and then more or less. Near the pool, the stage-periodically include either Mouzon, or some kind of show for children. And you can't hide here. It's good that all this is no later than 22-00. There are a lot of children in the hotel. Both teenagers and kids with their parents. In a restaurant, you only have time to dodge so that you don’t get knocked down, or you don’t hook anyone. For the elders, in my opinion, it’s a bit boring here, but for the kids, that’s it! There are a lot of Russians, Poles, Bulgarians, Germans in the hotel, most of them with children. We went on excursions, and on a yacht, and a Bulgarian village, to an apiary, to dances on coals. This is class! I liked everything very much. And they themselves went to Nessebar, to St. Vlas. Buses run exactly on schedule. At stops, route maps. Free minibuses or taxis are constantly winding around. Lots of shops, both casual and souvenir. But, somehow, they didn’t spend much. Then they changed the lev back to the euro. Yes, what else my wife liked is that the sea is not as salty as the Mediterranean or Aegean where the eyes pop out. Ours, dear. Warm. In general, if you go on vacation over the "hill", it is better to start from Bulgaria. And then Turkey, Greece, Thailand....

A very good hotel, in a good location. Large private beach, excellent cuisine, every day there was fish, and different, meat in variety, soups are generally beyond praise. Good nature-mountains, empty and small, combined with the sea give a mild climate and excellent air. The hotel is, as it were, inscribed in a mountain and really does not have its own large territory, but along the coast in 10 minutes you can walk to Elenite and enjoy the beautiful large territory, and at the same time be horrified by the beach clogged there.

You can get to St. Vlas and other places by bus -stop right in front of the hotel. In general, the place is very suitable for a relaxing lazy holiday without any worries. Party lovers will be bored.

I'll start by saying that I stayed two years in a row in this hotel with my family. To be honest, when I first got into a hotel of this level, I was in amazement, because before that I had a vacation in a camp site in Koblevo and in a sanatorium somewhere at 3 * in Sudak. So, first I’ll describe the hotel itself, since I didn’t observe any special changes in two years.

So, first I’ll describe the hotel itself, since I didn’t observe any special changes in two years...
Territory and location: located in a quiet and cozy village away from the noise. The hotel stands, as it were, on a hill above the sea, to which you descend on one of the four elevators in a huge tower connected to the main building by bridges. Down to the beach, untouched nature - I will never forget how one late evening I went out onto the balcony and was surprised to see frolicking ferrets jumping into the next room in a businesslike way! Residential buildings stretch to the left and right from the main entrance (reception), where there is also a lobby bar, below is a restaurant, even lower is a gym, an administration office and a transition to nearby buildings, on the second floor from the beach there is a shop. The territory itself is small, as they say "there is nowhere to roam": an amphitheater, to which a picturesque wooden path leads, a large swimming pool and a children's pool (there is a bar) and a beach bar nearby. If you go outside the hotel, you can of course walk to the nearest Caesar and Fort Knox, where there is a huge park.
Amenities: The room we had was wonderful! Double room with sea view. A normal-sized bathroom (of course with a hairdryer, only the hose fell off sometimes)), one large bedroom with a double bed (bedside tables in both rooms), another smaller one with two single beds, a living room with a sofa (although it turned out to be broken by the second visit, but not the trouble is, we didn’t lay it out in principle) and armchairs and how could it be without a TV on the table (by the way, the first Russian channel was quite enough), a refrigerator, in the corridor there is a wardrobe and a safe, a full-length mirror, a small balcony with plastic chairs and a table and dryer. As for cleaning: they did it conscientiously, at first they even made figurines from towels (if you want, leave a tip and they will impose a whole palace on you)). BUT: consider the time - if you come from the beach or are busy, you can skip the cleaning (but it also depends on which room you live in, the closer - the sooner they will clean it).
Beach: absolutely delight! Big, clean, there were always enough sun loungers. Rescuers guarded - sometimes you swim a little deeper - they are already jumping up and whistling at full speed)) I remember only one minus - one night it was stormy (which is not typical for this place, the sea is usually calm around the clock) and in the morning caused a lot of algae to the shore - the floor thumped so much in the morning, it was impossible to breathe, I had to escape and climb to the pool ((
Entertainment: I will say right away - this is a hotel for a relaxing family holiday, and if you want discos until the morning - this is for you in Sunny Beach : ). Animators take care of children: they play polo together, and paint faces, and arrange competitions (I won’t say anything more about this - we don’t have small ones, but one thing is for sure: children, from small to great, never left the workers for a minute and everywhere they were rushed about with joyful faces even outside the entertainment program). In the evenings, the amphitheater hosts comic shows, children's discos, and about once every 10 days they hold a festive evening of national dances (this is great - well done! ) On the beach, you can shoot with a bow or a gun under the very strict guidance of animators. For those who are especially active and informative, I can advise you to sail to Nessebar (tickets are sold at the issuance of beach towels, and the pier is very close to the hotel), or use the catalog of excursions near the counter.
Meals: buffet - there is a buffet! Variety of dishes: soups, side dishes, meats, live cooking, salads. . . Breakfast was repeated every day, but there was plenty to choose from, and you could also take pancakes only from the frying pan. A separate word for sweets: cakes of our own production - this is something! There is always fruit, ice cream, various dressings and spices to taste and do not forget about the delicious wine standing in barrels. Parents will be pleased with the children's corner with tiny tables and special chairs for the little ones, though I didn’t notice much children’s food there: french fries, some kind of buns, and with milk there is generally tense. There is one more thing: you need to come on time, otherwise there is a chance not to find a free table.
Service: the only thing is that by the end of the season, their obvious fatigue and even some “lack of interest” in the case are noticeable (I can judge, because I was there in June and August).
A significant MINUS that I can point out is the travel. I don’t know if this is purely related to the travel agency or the hotel too, but…
We went for the first time then by bus (the next one too) - we decided to save money. Terribly uncomfortable, shaking for more than a day, add more heat and get exhausted tourists. So plus everything, as it turned out later, we were driven by some inexperienced drivers who for a long time could not find the border point for leaving Ukraine... found a way out. In addition, we were brought not to the hotel itself, but to some 3 * Balkans, and then they say get on your own. Fortunately, there were taxi drivers nearby and somehow agreeing, we still got to the hotel. But on the second time, this was not the case, although we had transfers, they corrected us almost to the very doorstep. Conclusion: once at a time it’s not necessary, but I think it’s better by plane))
To sum up, this is still a very good place to relax!

If you go outside the hotel, you can of course walk to the nearest Caesar and Fort Knox, where there is a huge park.
Amenities: The room we had was wonderful! Double room with sea view. A normal-sized bathroom (of course with a hairdryer, only the hose fell off sometimes)), one large bedroom with a double bed (bedside tables in both rooms), another smaller one with two single beds, a living room with a sofa (although it turned out to be broken by the second visit, but not the trouble is, we didn’t lay it out in principle) and armchairs and how could it be without a TV on the table (by the way, the first Russian channel was quite enough), a refrigerator, in the corridor there is a wardrobe and a safe, a full-length mirror, a small balcony with plastic chairs and a table and dryer. As for cleaning: they did it conscientiously, at first they even made figurines from towels (if you want, leave a tip and they will impose a whole palace on you)). BUT: consider the time - if you come from the beach or are busy, you can skip the cleaning (but it also depends on which room you live in, the closer - the sooner they will clean it).
Beach: absolutely delight! Big, clean, there were always enough sun loungers. Rescuers guarded - sometimes you swim a little deeper - they are already jumping up and whistling at full speed)) I remember only one minus - one night it was stormy (which is not typical for this place, the sea is usually calm around the clock) and in the morning caused a lot of algae to the shore - the floor thumped so much in the morning, it was impossible to breathe, I had to escape and climb to the pool ((
Entertainment: I will say right away - this is a hotel for a relaxing family holiday, and if you want discos until the morning - this is for you in Sunny Beach : ). Animators take care of children: they play polo together, and paint faces, and arrange competitions (I won’t say anything more about this - we don’t have small ones, but one thing is for sure: children, from small to great, never left the workers for a minute and everywhere they were rushed about with joyful faces even outside the entertainment program). In the evenings, the amphitheater hosts comic shows, children's discos, and about once every 10 days they hold a festive evening of national dances (this is great - well done! ) On the beach, you can shoot with a bow or a gun under the very strict guidance of animators. For those who are especially active and informative, I can advise you to sail to Nessebar (tickets are sold at the issuance of beach towels, and the pier is very close to the hotel), or use the catalog of excursions near the counter.
Meals: buffet - there is a buffet! Variety of dishes: soups, side dishes, meats, live cooking, salads. . . Breakfast was repeated every day, but there was plenty to choose from, and you could also take pancakes only from the frying pan. A separate word for sweets: cakes of our own production - this is something! There is always fruit, ice cream, various dressings and spices to taste and do not forget about the delicious wine standing in barrels. Parents will be pleased with the children's corner with tiny tables and special chairs for the little ones, though I didn’t notice much children’s food there: french fries, some kind of buns, and with milk there is generally tense. There is one more thing: you need to come on time, otherwise there is a chance not to find a free table.
Service: the only thing is that by the end of the season, their obvious fatigue and even some “lack of interest” in the case are noticeable (I can judge, because I was there in June and August).
A significant MINUS that I can point out is the travel. I don’t know if this is purely related to the travel agency or the hotel too, but…
We went for the first time then by bus (the next one too) - we decided to save money. Terribly uncomfortable, shaking for more than a day, add more heat and get exhausted tourists. So plus everything, as it turned out later, we were driven by some inexperienced drivers who for a long time could not find the border point for leaving Ukraine... found a way out. In addition, we were brought not to the hotel itself, but to some 3 * Balkans, and then they say get on your own. Fortunately, there were taxi drivers nearby and somehow agreeing, we still got to the hotel. But on the second time, this was not the case, although we had transfers, they corrected us almost to the very doorstep. Conclusion: once at a time it’s not necessary, but I think it’s better by plane))
To sum up, this is still a very good place to relax!
