Travel agency Antaris-Tour, tour operator Join Up!
Vacationing with my husband. Recommend, love it!
The hotel was chosen for a very long time, we reviewed almost all the hotels on the coast. Special thanks to the managers of the Antaris-Tour travel agency (Independence Square, 1 (1st floor of the Sumy Hotel) for their patience!!!
After a long search, we chose the Riva Park Hotel, Golden Sands and did not regret it.
The hotel is surrounded by greenery, hidden from prying eyes. Its territory is not visible from the footpaths, unlike most hotels, where everyone who passes by onlookers drop by. The hotel is removed from the roadway, we can safely say that this is a park. Located on the second line, 10 minutes walk to the sea, there is a short road. Such a walk is what you need after a hearty and tasty lunch that the hotel offers. In order
Settled immediately, no extra fuss. The room is small, but great for a troika.
Bed, refrigerator, table, coffee table, 2 bedside tables, wardrobe and separate hanger. The bathroom has a shower cabin. Everything is pretty decent. Meals (we had all inclusive) four times a day. Tables are located both on the territory closed from all sides, and on the terrace overlooking the pool. Grapes curl overhead. The pool is very large, with a fountain that works day and night. There is a slide, jacuzzi. Separate children's pool, depth 70 cm. On the territory there is a playground with horizontal bars and swings. There is also a horizontal bar for adults. In the evenings, there is a children's animator, a Bulgarian girl, who was always surrounded by a crowd of children. If you are traveling with a child, this hotel is very suitable, because the child will find something to do, the children's corner is very good.
The food is excellent. The kitchen is just like ours, no problems. Buffet, take whatever you want. I will not say that there is no diversity, they try, they change something, there is always a choice.
They offer sea fried fish, poultry and stewed pork, rice, potatoes, pasta. Always tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, beets, cabbage. There were even pizza, salted cucumbers and sprat. There are soups with chicken, meatballs, just vegetable. The bar is open from 10.00 to 22.00. The beer is very tasty! ! ! drink as much as you like. Local drinks (rakia, vodka, wine) are free, but all kinds of gins are for an additional fee. Sweet lovers also have something to eat. There is always watermelon, melon, plums, there were also peaches; cakes and pretzels for tea. The breakfast may seem a little different, but I don't think you have more choice at home. There are pasta, fried eggs, several types of sausages (perhaps sausages in Bulgaria are not the best), ham, cheese and cheese (for an amateur, it is salty and sour), jam, honey, cereal with milk, several types of buns. In general, create your own breakfast.
The service is great. As soon as you free the plate, the waiters immediately take it away.
The bed and towels were changed 1 time in 8 days, do not forget that this is a troika, no one will change them every day, and why? You don't change your bed every day at home.
The sea is clean, the beach is not bad, there are areas with paid sunbeds and umbrellas, but there is also quite enough free space to spread your sunbed and wallow. There are trash cans on the beach, there are not many people, and most importantly, no one walks and offers corn and seeds, as in the Crimea.
Golden Sands is just a resort town, no sights except the sea.
Excursions are offered by both the host and local agencies on the street. The first price is 2 times higher, we chose the option to overpay, but be calm, because you know who to file a claim in case of something.
I will say that the Bulgarians do not like to bargain, even at the end of the season the word discount hangs just to lure customers. There are no discounts, and they don’t even bargain, they immediately get nervous.
In general, watch out, tourists are bred everywhere.
TIP When choosing a hotel, look at its location on the map, because there are huge fours, but they are located further than the third line, and it is very difficult to get there on foot, people had to ride a local train, which costs 3 leva (1 euro = 1.92 leva) so consider, by the way, umbrellas and sun loungers on the beach are also paid.
We were lucky with the weather, we saw both stormy sea and calm. When the waves are big, no one is allowed into the sea, so you can catch a tan by the pool. We never had a problem with sunbeds by the pool, and there was always enough space in the pool, even to swim with a mattress. But large hotels cannot boast of a large swimming pool, because, no matter how big it is, it still won’t be enough for everyone. This is another plus of small hotels, where comfort and order are easier to maintain.
Regarding the exchange of money, it is better to do this in a bank, because.
with the exchange can be cool to breed, do not believe everything that they write. You can also change money in your hotel, but usually in all hotels the rate is an order of magnitude lower, but in Riva (another plus) the rate is 1.9, so feel free to change.
As a whole, I would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU TO THE MANAGERS OF THE ANTARIS-TOUR TRAVEL AGENCY AND THE HOTEL STAFF FOR A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY! ! ! !

there are pluses and minuses. We rested for 2 weeks The meeting at Varna airport is beyond praise! We were taken to the hotel by a personal car! The hotel is 3-storey. The rooms are large with high ceilings (3 meters or more). In a 2-bed room there are 2 huge non-creaking beds and another bed (apparently for a child).

there are pluses and minuses. We rested for 2 weeks
The meeting at Varna airport is beyond praise! We were taken to the hotel by a personal car!
The hotel is 3-storey. The rooms are large with high ceilings (3 meters or more). In a 2-bed room there are 2 huge non-creaking beds and another bed (apparently for a child).
TV-40 channels, 4 of them in Russian (1, NTV, Russia24, RTV)
TV set NEO of the last century, but big with teletext and remote control
Air conditioning - excellent silent operation
The floor throughout the hotel is tiled! In some places there are rugs. . .
Communication: 2 gaming computers with round-the-clock net (a card of 5 levs, i. e. 100 rubles - this is an hour and a half of the Internet or 10 minutes to call Russia ON A STATIONARY DEVICE)
Cleaning: they have their own keys and if you sleep and don’t hear a knock on the door, they will come in (it was... ). Sometimes they forget to clean the room altogether, and the dampness is such that towels do not dry even on the balcony.
By the way, once my wife was offered to dry and wash towels by herself. . .
Acoustics: the doors to the rooms do not have brakes (like Bulgarian and Romanian children, like gypsies and running around the hotel's corridors until 1 am), so get used to slamming doors. . .
Animation: 40-year-old aunt in jeans (in the heat) and in a baseball cap and a DJ: an Indian of about 70 years old with a permanent stone face...
It was funny to watch how the children constantly ran away from this girl and she didn’t collect anyone in our 2 weeks...
Food: the first week they admired brandy, cherries, fried sole and delicious rice. Then brandy and normal food ended, or maybe they got tired of the MONOTYNESS: ALMOST ALL FOOD IS BOILED AND UNSALT. The beer in the bar is very good by the way! . .
The territory of the hotel is large, many flowers, old and fruit trees, grapes. The pool is deep 1.00-1.40 m
Beach: a good beach, clean water, not as salty as in Italy or Greece. On the entire coast, sunbeds are paid - 7 leva-lounger, 3-litter, 7-umbrella (1 lev about 20 rubles)
By the way, where the Admiral is, there are bottom-stones, and here is excellent sand (opposite McDuck)
About the CASINO: full and all around! Sorry, I didn’t go...
