The hotel is located in a park area. Due to this, the room was not hot. Air conditioning was missing, but it is not needed. The room is spacious and clean. They cleaned daily, changed towels and bed linen every three days. The food is not the same as in Turkey, but there was enough. Fed 4 times a day. The choice is small.

Coffee, tea and local spirits are free until 10 pm. There was not enough fruit. It took up to 10 minutes to walk to the sea. I walked with pleasure, walking the narrow streets. Municipal beach with paid sunbeds. If you do not look for the negative, then I liked it. Good hotel, beautiful Bulgaria and warm sea!

Mostly elderly Germans rest. Quiet, relaxing family hotel. young people have nothing to do there. Our room was just fine (207). Away from the bar and overlooking the sea (although it is far away). There is air conditioning, but we didn't really need it. I think that we got one of the most successful numbers, also well located 205.209, 211. True, in the heat the room will be directly in the sun. who needs shade, these are rooms like 208.210. but the view is not the same, but there is no noise from the restaurant or from the pool. Everything in the room is clean and well equipped. three towels per person plus one on the floor for feet. On the balcony there is a clothesline with clothespins. We were in Turkey at 5, so the room there was much worse - shabby and broken. True, there is no hair dryer in the room, it is at the reception at your request. very very small and very hot. The staff is just super-everyone smiling and helpful. those who are older know Russian well, answer all questions, suggest what, where and how. We had free billiards, table tennis, and table football. Maybe it's only at the beginning of the season, or maybe it's always like this.
What I didn’t like: from fruits - only apples and oranges, although with might and main the season of strawberries and cherries is already in full swing. And as for me, the sea is still far away. But everything else is beyond praise for a 3-star hotel.
I advise everyone to visit a small fish restaurant Danton. There is also a mini-market (prices are generally lower than in the rest).

We arrived just recently from Kini Park... Still impressed by the rest. In this review, I will try to evaluate the hotel as much as possible, as if out of its location, because. I will write about Golden Sands themselves later... The hotel is a serious Bulgarian trio. Compared to other hotels, for example, in Sozopol, it was undoubtedly better and more comfortable there.

We arrived just recently from Kini Park... Still impressed by the rest. In this review, I will try to evaluate the hotel as much as possible, as if out of its location, because. I will write about Golden Sands themselves later...
The hotel is a serious Bulgarian trio. Compared to other hotels, for example, in Sozopol, it was undoubtedly better and more comfortable there. But since Kini is a hotel originally for the Germans, it is not surprising that it has so many different rules and reservations.
From the pros:
- comfortable rooms with showers
- long opening hours of the restaurant for breakfast and dinner
- beautiful, modern hotel
- free ping pong. library, cheap billiards - 11 UAH per game
- free Wi-Fi on the ground floor
- there are a couple of Russian channels on TV
- spacious balconies
- location in an oak grove - gorgeous air;
- varied and rich menu for dinner;
Of the minuses:
- lack of an elevator;
- lack of free centralized air conditioning (especially for rooms with a sea view, on the sunny side);
- lack of hair dryer in the room - only on request;
- lack of umbrellas near sun loungers - only on hotel cards, no more than 1 (+1 only for 5 levs)
- a poor, "egg" menu for breakfast - if a few dishes were taken from dinner and given for breakfast - it would not be superfluous;
- staff for 4. How lucky. I was lucky - a chic maid, twisted flowers and swans, cleaned, it was already shining. The sister in the next wing is terrified! Cleaning is not visible. My sister did everything herself. There were 2 women at the reception - 1 helpful. 2 - the mean one who ran to the restaurant and counted compote in our cups!!!
- live music until 23 on the side of the restaurant. If you are with a small one - ask for the opposite side. There are cars humming, but quieter.
- the road to the sea down the stairs. In the shade, for the young. It will be difficult for the elderly to climb every day in the heat up.
The food was not bad, HB helped a lot, taking into account the prices in Golden Sands - they are 3-5 times more expensive than in Nessebar, Sozopol, Varna... Breakfasts - eggs in various forms, cuts of meat, dairy, anchovies, vegetables, fruits. desserts, drinks. Dinners - different types of appetizers, salads, side dishes, meat, fish, ice cream, desserts. fruits from breakfast, drinks for a fee (you can bring your own). 2 times there were Bulgarian days, when they prepared folk dishes and gave watermelons. And so only plums and apricots. We had enough. Lunches (peleshka - chicken - and fish soups bought at the Danton restaurant, upstairs from our hotel) were expensive. Still to the left and up from the hotel there is a wonderful grandfather - a seller of fruits, vegetables - his prices are 2 times lower. than on the embankment - corn for 1.5 levs, cherries - 4 levs per kg, peaches - 3.5 levs, plums - 3 levs....I recommend!
Kini's place is good - a grove. beetles fly, fireflies in the evenings. . . Quiet compared to Golden Sands. In fact, it is just above the Riviera, so we rested and swam only there. We also went to Varna and Balchik, a taxi and bus stop is downstairs right next to the hotel. So they had fun. I highly recommend visiting Balchik - a chic botanical garden! Very beautiful and inexpensive souvenirs - I bought cheap silver, which I lacked in our complex. The Riviera itself is also super - beaches with a Blue Flag, few people, a reserve territory with plants that grow all over the world... I liked it even more than our South Coast, although it has its own chic... SUPER!
And now about the fly in the ointment called Golden Sands. THIS IS SIMPLE TO.... TS!!!! ! NEVER take your kids there if they are not yet 15.... It's just CHAOS!! ! This is an eternal party for drunken German youngsters !!!! ! I am not kidding! It's impossible to sleep there! Music everywhere and all night long! I do not understand. why do people take kids there - this is nonsense! At first I went in a trance, taking into account the fact that last year we rested in Sozopol - this is a paradise for children - a park with playgrounds, sand painting, a lot of entertainment, clay, silence and grace....ZP is a mix of discos, sex shops , alcohol and crazy prices....And thank God that we went there 2 times....And just like I already wrote, the Riviera and Varna - there is a gorgeous Seaside Park. where there is everything for children. Therefore, Kini unequivocally helped out with the location. and food, and the fact that there is a territory for children, like a forest, very interesting. They were looking for mushrooms, catching beetles... It saved them. That's why, all things considered, I give a solid 7 out of 10. I am grateful for a good stay in this particular place. And if you already decided to go there, as we did (the price attracted us), then only there....It’s simply unrealistic to relax on the RFPs themselves (my personal opinion, subjective), so decide for yourself.

I chose the hotel by chance, booked it, trusting the description, and then decided to look for reviews. Reviews were found only on booking, but they were the most truthful. I had to go with my mother and two daughters - 4 years and 10 months. So first things first. The hotel room is good, not hot, spacious, everything worked.

I chose the hotel by chance, booked it, trusting the description, and then decided to look for reviews. Reviews were found only on booking, but they were the most truthful. I had to go with my mother and two daughters - 4 years and 10 months. So first things first.
The hotel room is good, not hot, spacious, everything worked. The exception is the refrigerator, which was originally a mini-bar with paid drinks. If you find yourself out of drinks - you can just use it as a refrigerator, but you have to pay at the reception 10 leva for 1 week. Despite the fact that we paid, it did not immediately work for us for some reason, the water that stood in it for 1 day was at room temperature. I also attribute this to the fact that when you leave the room, you take the key card and stop all the electrics in the room. But by the end of the trip, this little fredge still began to freeze.
Another thing that upset - when the light in the bathroom is on - the fan is working, i. e. sneaking into the bathroom quietly at night will not succeed. And with this you can live, in principle.
Our room was on the floor where the reception and the restaurant are, we have a baby and it was very convenient to go to the restaurant and the room. The balcony "looked" into the courtyard, a little to the left one could see the pool, the restaurant and the playground and the descent down to the road. It was quiet, in the evening there was live music in the restaurant, but it was not for long, until 10 pm, and did not bother. 1 time in all the time there was some kind of party for the Germans, it was before our departure, but the children were sleeping, and nothing interfered with them.
Cleaned the room well, towels changed every day! either because there were small children, or because there were few tourists so far, but in general, there was no need for towels.
Swimming pool: I don’t like this miracle of nature, once my mother went there with the eldest, to sit and swim, everything was occupied by the Germans, and there were no places in the shade, although later I asked the guy that he worked by the pool, he said that he would put umbrellas and sun loungers next to the children's section, and did so. As a result, the German priests immediately sat down there. The Germans did not go to the sea at all. Here somehow it was not possible to relax near the pool.
Food. Breakfast and dinner buffet. There was a lot of everything, satisfying, varied. I liked the dinners more, as there were a lot of hot dishes, and the sweet table was not bad - cakes, pastries, ice cream, compote, pudding, fruit salad, yogurt, etc.
For lunch, you can eat at the hotel restaurant - there were happy hours when you take something on the grill (meat-sausages) and a drink as a gift (beer, wine). But we didn’t want this, we had to feed the children with soup, it cost 5 leva at the hotel - 2.5 euros, which is a lot, then we found a fish restaurant nearby and went there for lunch. Soup there for 3.50 leva, a portion of fish is quite large - approx. 7-9 leva, we also took a tortilla instead of bread - pyrlenka is called - approx. Portions of soup are huge, you can safely take 2 soups for three, not like in a hotel. There is a supermarket next to the fish market, the prices are lower than at Zolotye and there is everything - from cosmetics to pates, etc. So we stocked up there 1 time and didn’t go there anymore - we bought bread, pate, sour mash, lutenichka, waffle cookies, beer, juice, water.
Beach. You go down to the beach from the hotel through the park, along a comfortable staircase - steps, then a flight, again steps, there are benches. The park is very nice, lots of greenery, oak forest. The hotel itself is surrounded by flowers, roses, there is a small playground. After this descent - the road, you need to go to the other side and go either to the left - to the paid beach on the Riviera, or to the free one - there you still need to stomp down the stairs. At first we went to the free one in the morning, then after 17-00 to the Riviera, but everyone was already allowed in there, for free. And then - they started going to the Riviera for a fee - pay at the entrance for an umbrella (10 lev, 7 days cheaper, about 55 lev in my opinion), or for a deck chair (7 lev, there is also a discount when buying several days), they give you a check , and you go to the beach with this check, there is a manager there, he will open an umbrella for you or bring a sunbed. You can put your umbrella if you have paid for a sunbed, it's cheaper. We swam on the beach near the Lotus Hotel (yellow umbrellas) it is comfortable there, there are children's swings nearby, and there are no stones in the sea. In the evening, after the sea became shady and cool, we went to the children's pool nearby a couple of times, there was just the sun, there is a small slide for children 3-7 years old. But our youngest didn’t like the beach, the sea, or the pool... I don’t know, maybe if we had been longer, maybe she would have gotten used to it - otherwise, she didn’t even want to crawl on the sand....
It was possible to walk to Zolotye in the evenings, we walked 1 time, and 1 more time along the territory of the Riviera - the baby did not sit in a stroller at all and rode only on her hands, and it was not easy). It was possible to go to Varna - to Piccadilly Park (shopping center, supermarket, next to the Dolphinarium, there is a Chaika market on the other side) 30 minutes by bus, near the hotel there is a bus final stop, for 3 leva you will reach the very center of Varna. You can take a taxi - taxi drivers are waiting right at the bus stop, and they are ready to "put you on" for 5 leva / person to other tourists. Taxi from Varna is about 25 leva to the hotel (according to the meter).
