The hotel was on tour "Bulgaria Summer Cocktail" Accord tour. Large rooms that were carefully cleaned every day and bed linen changed every other day. The area is small but well maintained. The first night we were put in a room adjoining the elevator shaft. The elevator closes manually, brakes with vibration and noise, so we didn't sleep all night. Repeated requests to the hotel administration did not lead to success, and the manager Milena rudely recommended contacting the group leader, because. Accord tour bought the entire floor. If our leader hadn't switched rooms with us, it would have been horror, not rest. Breakfast is extremely monotonous: nipples, sausage, cheese, muesli, butter, feta cheese and eggs in two versions (one day scrambled eggs, another scrambled eggs). By the end of the stay, you want to crow. Dinners are normal and varied. The hotel is located in the Chaika resort. It is believed that this is Golden Sands. In fact, this is the dirty outskirts of Varna. There are practically no free beaches, there is no promenade. Instead, the roadway with a bunch of trash cans. The view from the sea is dull. Unfinished buildings are everywhere.
There is no desire to rest there again. I do not recommend this hotel to people who have already vacationed in other countries (Croatia, Montenegro, France, Spain).

Almost a week ago we arrived from this Hotel. About the hotel: Pros: - Big numbers! ! ! - Refrigerator in the room. - Big balcony. - View from the window (of course, we were on the 3rd floor, room 315) - Cleaned every day. - Change of linen every 3 days, and for an extra charge of 2-3 leva to the cleaning lady, you can change the bed every other day.

Almost a week ago we arrived from this Hotel.
About the hotel:
Pros:
- Big numbers! ! !
- Refrigerator in the room.
- Big balcony.
- View from the window (of course, we were on the 3rd floor, room 315)
- Cleaned every day.
- Change of linen every 3 days, and for an extra charge of 2-3 leva to the cleaning lady, you can change the bed every other day. (maybe I'm so lucky)
- Definitely good air conditioning.
- The dining room is clean, but the nuance of the tablecloths on the table is not very clean, as they are simply shaken off and turned over after dinner, But still the dining room is clean.
- Hotel area is clean
- The pool is clean (but there is a bit of chlorine).
- There is a shower near the pool (but it is not new for a long time, but still everything works and the water is warm, clean)
- Breakfasts, Dinners, although the buffet is not very varied, but you can eat.
- The bathroom has a bath (not a shower) and a bidet.
Cons that in my opinion were in the hotel:
- No WiFi in the rooms, only near the Reception.
- Lunch, if you pay extra 5 leva (2.5 euros) per person.
then the waitresses are already picking up your portion, and not you yourself.
- For 4-5 days the food bothers.
- Near the pool all day music plays (it's good) but always the same 10-15 songs.
- In the room, a little crooked curtains in the bathroom.
But these minuses are petty, as some 4 * hotels have worse characteristics than this 3 * + Thermal Spa.
At the expense of the Beach, which is 200-250m away, it is clean, the sea is also clean, there are many free places for sunbathing. The first paid sun loungers and umbrellas - 18 lev (9 euros), go 50m further - the price is already 9 levs (4.5 euros) for 2 sun loungers and an umbrella.
Prices for wine, alcohol are very cheap (but in stores) in cafes, as well as in Ukraine in inexpensive cafes. To the center of Golden Sands - 20 minutes on foot, there is a lot of entertainment, as if you get from the village to the capital))))) In the center the prices are more expensive, donut - 1.5 euros, boiled corn - 1.5 euros))) Pizza is average - 3-4 euros . Ice cream 1.5-2 euros. The store has 2 liters of wine (in a bottle) - 3-3.5 euros. (not the cheapest).
Souvenirs are expensive, clothes are cheap - as they are brought from Turkey.
In general, I am satisfied with the trip. Among 3 * hotels, I consider Thermal Spa a worthy hotel.
Thanks

Hello! Before you choose this hotel for your holiday - think! Below I will explain. The hotel itself is normal, although very modest. The rooms are large, everything works, clean and sooooo modest. The air conditioner worked well for us, for the neighbors it was bad and very loud (they couldn’t sleep the whole vacation, because the air conditioner hummed as if the plane was taking off, but they couldn’t do anything with it).

Hello! Before you choose this hotel for your holiday - think! Below I will explain.
The hotel itself is normal, although very modest. The rooms are large, everything works, clean and sooooo modest. The air conditioner worked well for us, for the neighbors it was bad and very loud (they couldn’t sleep the whole vacation, because the air conditioner hummed as if the plane was taking off, but they couldn’t do anything with it).
There were 2 accommodation options: with a sea view and with a view of the stadium. If you have a sea view, then everything is fine, if you have a view of the stadium - music until 12 at night (either from a Ukrainian children's camp or from a boarding house for Russians). The repertoire in the first case is Russian pop. music, in the second - the 70s, 80s for vacationing grandparents and chanson performed by drunken presenters.
The hotel is located in Chaika area (Journalist hotel). It can be said on the outskirts of Golden Sands, surrounded by construction sites (abandoned and not), garbage, broken roads, stray dogs, old hotels, campsites, a large apartment complex and Christmas trees.
To the beach go down about 5-7 min, up (to the mountain) -10 min. The beach "meets" with a sewer, a garbage dump and the inscription "no swimming". After 50 meters, a paid area with sun loungers and umbrellas already begins - decently, cleanly. Rescuers, medical center and several small cafes. Paid zones alternate with fairly large free zones. There is another sewer in the middle of the beach.
Now about the kitchen.
Breakfast. (Semi)buffet. They always gave us unchanged: sausages, ham, hard cheese, white cheese - of very dubious quality, hot eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, honey, jam, corn flakes, spread, bread, tea and something similar to a coffee drink (but definitely not coffee), bread - take it yourself. Croissants were served at the end of breakfast. And it was something. Croissants were given 2 per hand (Russians and Ukrainians, and Bulgarians 3 each). Moreover, everyone had to come and get their croissants, even the children did not give otherwise. Every day, someone cursed with the kitchen workers, threw croissants in hysterics, tried to get changes in the menu....the situation is somewhat tense...
Dinner. Not a buffet, but portions. Soup, side dish, meat, bread, 2 peaches.
Dinner. Buffet. Always grilled sausages, meat (or chicken or pork), garnish (or potatoes, or rice, or cauliflower, or carrots, or peas), tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, bread, one kind of fruit, cakes (always the same), tap water, yupi, bread, soup (the one left over from dinner). There is no choice, but you can take as much as you want. Always under the close supervision of kitchen workers.
Russians, Ukrainians and Bulgarians rest in the hotel. Bulgarians come for treatment (mud, massage, etc. ).
The hotel staff is quite friendly.
Cleaning. Every day they swept and washed the floors with one rag in all rooms. We were lucky - they started cleaning with us.....
Diseases and poisonings. All the children in the hotel when we arrived (about 10 people) and another 15 adults got sick (vomiting, fever). I don't know if it was a virus or an infection....
The pool in the hotel is for adults only, there is no children, with thermal water - no. Only very, very chlorinated. The pool was cleaned once a week (on Mondays).
Where to go and what to see. Here you need to think very, very much! There is definitely no place to go nearby. You can walk to Golden Sands along the road (without a sidewalk) along construction sites, garbage for 20-30 minutes or take a bus. Everything. There are several small cafes nearby, but very modest and for the completely unassuming.
In principle, the hotel was comfortable, the food was tolerable, no one was personally rude or rude to us. On the contrary, Bulgarians are quite friendly and polite. If not for the constant scandals in the dining room, from which there was nowhere to hide - everything is fine. The sea is clean, the beach is big.
Disliked: very, very dirty. Lots of rubbish everywhere on the roads and near the hotel.
In the photo - the hotel, the road from the hotel to the sea, pipes on the beach, garbage...

We just arrived from the Termal hotel. The advantages of the hotel: close location to the sea (closer only to the Journalist), cozy rooms with sea views, good bathroom. Cons: food without choice - standard for breakfast (egg, sausage, cucumber, tomato, olives, cheese, sausage, jam, tea and coffee not from the machine), for dinner - chicken with rice, on the second day - potatoes with meat + salad , cake, drink, etc.

Bed linen is changed once a week. To Golden Sands 20 minutes on foot, far away. Chaika Resort - gorgeous clear sea, good sandy beach, quiet vacation, cheap prices in supermarkets. Minus Seagulls - ugly nature, no mountains, not a well-groomed resort, half-empty houses, weeds around.

We rested at this hotel in August 2011. The hotel is located on the second line from the sea (Cabakum beach). If not for this, he could safely give 4 *. Nice pool, wi-fi.

Hello! I was in this hotel. . . but I didn't live in it! My friends lived in this hotel and every day (in the evenings) we met either in their hotel or in ours (also in the Journalist area... only for some reason it was not in the list of hotels in my hotel)... But in fact, I can say from what I saw: clean and tidy.

But in fact, I can say from what I saw: clean and tidy. Wi-fi worked without problems. The staff is typically Bulgarian, with a slight dislike for us.... The pool is nice and quite worthy! There is a huge plus - the hotel has a football field. The kids really have a place to run. . .
In general - better than the Crimea.

Good hotel! The rooms are spacious, the sea is close, the mineral spring is right on the beach. The food is varied: cold appetizers, salads, meat, dairy dishes, soups, vegetables, fruits, everything is fresh and tasty. The children burst on both cheeks : ) The staff is attentive. The room was cleaned daily and linen changed every four days.

All photos of the hotel that I found on the Internet are almost completely true. There are few complaints about the hotel itself: monotonous and simple food without frills and raisins and not very kind staff in the restaurant. At the same time, the room is large, bed linen and towels were changed every 3 days, cleaned every 2 days, the pool is clean, cleaned every day, the territory is also clean and pleasant.

Now about the coast: it killed with its uncomfortableness, dirt and unkemptness. The sea is dirty, there are a lot of construction sites around, there is nowhere to go out in the evening - except to go to Golden Sands (bus 0.9 leva, taxi, as you agree) or walk 20 minutes. But if you are lovers of a quiet family holiday, this is not a problem. In principle, suffered a slight disappointment from the rest.
