August 2023. The overall impression of the rest in this hotel left rather depressing than pleasant. I'll try to be at least somewhat objective. The hotel is more likely a triple (according to the classification of hotels) than a four. But first things first: Location from the sea and the center - no 30 meters from the sea, don't be fooled - there, firstly, you need to go down the stairs from the hotel, cross the road, walk past the tennis courts and a shabby beach bar, then go to the sea.

August 2023.
The overall impression of the rest in this hotel left rather depressing than pleasant.
I'll try to be at least somewhat objective.
The hotel is more likely a triple (according to the classification of hotels) than a four. But first things first:
Location from the sea and the center - no 30 meters from the sea, don't be fooled - there, firstly, you need to go down the stairs from the hotel, cross the road, walk past the tennis courts and a shabby beach bar, then go to the sea. It turns out 150-200 meters. And the hotel itself is quite far from the center of the resort and entertainment (1.5-2 km - 15-20 minutes walk or you can walk on small trains (5 lev), so fans of night parties should take into account.
The buildings and the territory - everything is somehow ...how to say, one gets the feeling that all the hotels around look better on the order (even the neighboring hotel Lilia, which is not very forest reviews, and it looks better outwardly), in short, at least external cosmetic repairs did not interfere .
And one more thing - the hotel has a lot of staff, well, couldn’t it be possible to find 2-3 people in the morning, sweep at least the leaves in front of the hotel and on the stairs, from the outside it looks not very well-kept of the surrounding area. The second staircase near the pool is quite steep, and under it there is a pizzeria fuming in the evenings, the same not well-groomed around.
The rooms are more or less, although if you start to find fault, you can find many shortcomings there (for example, the door to the balcony did not close normally, it’s good that the air conditioner worked fine), a weak Internet signal in the room is a big, fat minus. Normally, as usual, I caught only at the reception and somewhere in the corridors. Towels were changed every day, garbage, however, too, bed linen - no, for the entire stay. In short, the whole cleaning came down to something like this, they never even swept it in my opinion.
The pool - let's say for more than 100 rooms and 5 apartments is very small, booking sunbeds by the pools is carried out according to the old principle - they left a towel in the morning for the whole day and went on business (although it is written that it is forbidden) in short - then the first one got up and slippers. Lots of kids during the day and quite noisy. It is written that you can’t swim in the pool after 18.00, I thought it was so, but it turns out that some rules are unwritten - especially for guests and noisy companies from Hungary and Romania. For example - the last 2 evenings at the hotel were unpleasantly surprised - noise, din, night swimming until midnight and drinking alcohol right in the pool by these "guests". With the full connivance of the administration. Ugly.
Beach and bar - sunbeds battered, without mattresses, umbrellas are also not the first freshness, but somehow you try not to pay too much attention to it. Sometimes there was a problem with free sunbeds, but it was solved.
Bar on the beach - to be honest for a 4-star hotel, this is a shame. The fenced and unkempt territory is despondent, as if you are relaxing somewhere in Zatoka or Koblevo in the 90s. It was possible to arrange everything as normal as in neighboring hotels, for example.
Restaurant (or dining room rather) - few, very few places, sometimes you have to look for 5 minutes where to sit, what's inside, what's on the outside terrace, or come at the end of dinner, for example. The noise inside is like in a Soviet dining room, but with a Romanian tinge, which are constantly and everywhere, as someone here already wrote - that in the dining room or on the beach, in short, this hotel cannot be called quiet.
The food was ok, but after 2-3 days you want variety, it's good at least in the evening, sometimes something new appeared. Drinks are of average and lousy quality (wine from tetrapacks, local beer, cocktails, sometimes it probably depended on the bartender).
About the staff - I understand that most of the men there are from Egypt, and the girls are Ukrainian. A strange combination, however, there were no complaints about them - they quickly cleaned everything up, helped if there were questions.
So, in summary - I don't know who puts such high ratings and excellent reviews on the Internet to this place. Probably those who like this kind of vacation, I heard some come back here next year. I'm not picky, but I didn't like it. The hotel is not worth the money that is asked for a stay. After this hotel, in the future I will always look for hotels with the adults only option, since all these so-called "family" hotels have been put on. I need a quiet and relaxing holiday. I understand that recently everything has risen in price, before for such money in Turkey it was easy to relax, but the Bulgarian All Inclusive, of course, cannot be compared with Turkish - like walking to the moon.
If you are looking for a quiet, pleasant vacation by the sea - drive by, my advice to you. You should not spoil your mood, even if you are very stress-resistant, for the same money or a little more you can find something decent.

Hello. For the first time I am writing a review, although I was at sea in Egypt and Italy, also on an info tour along the coast of Bulgaria 5 years ago. Worst hotel I've ever been in, four stars is too much for it. Dirty, old, small rooms, a lot of steps, food is a separate story, it is called: "how to spoil all the meat with one seasoning" and indeed, poorly, a lot of spoiled food, thanks to stupid cooks.

I won’t write about alcohol, it’s logical what it is. Zha and the hotel is far from the center. It was also a lot of fun with bloated Romanian families who are noisy for days, whether it's a canteen or a beach, but this, apparently, is normal there. In general, ! for the first time! I wanted to go home after 2 days of vacation! Thank you, Pearl Beach, Golden Sands, I will not go to Bulgaria again!

I did not expect much from Bulgaria, I chose the hotel on the advice of friends. Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised by the level of service and the variety and deliciousness of the buffet. I speak about alcohol from the words of friends - “normal” (I don’t drink it myself). The rooms are clean, tidy, Wi-Fi is available and free of charge, TVs are even smart, I dug into the settings and calmly watched all Russian channels via the Internet.

The beach was also lucky - 50 meters from the hotel. And I know that in Bulgaria there are a lot of hotels within a radius of 500-1500 m from the sea, even without a beach, for which you then pay about 20 euros extra for a couple.
In general - only positive impressions, in 3-5 years I will definitely look here again.

We stayed in the middle of September 2014. The room is good, large, with a sea view, an armchair, a table, the bathroom is also normal, the cleaning is good, there are beach towels. there are sunbeds by the pool. At sea there are no free. Close to the sea. Cons - the type of hotel inside - the carpet in the dining room, it has stains from fallen food, tables, tablecloths - everything is like in the dining room, not in the restaurant.

There are no small molds for honey, no teaspoons. Honey had to be poured into plastic cups.
Food - breakfast is good, a lot of things, they baked a bannitsa, pies, omelettes, eggs, cheese, sausage, fish. For dinner, the choice is very small, the fish was 1 time, the food is not always tasty. Lots of casseroles. Fruits - plums, unripe peaches.
The hotel is 3 stars.
The staff is respectful and attentive.

The hotel is a good Bulgarian "four", there is nothing to complain about. Pros: for ridiculous money they upgraded the room to a sea view, few people, breakfasts are plentiful, albeit monotonous. There are no complaints about cleaning, the staff is sane. The pool is small, clean, they take care of the children.

The hotel is a good Bulgarian "four", there is nothing to complain about. Pros: for ridiculous money they upgraded the room to a sea view, few people, breakfasts are plentiful, albeit monotonous. There are no complaints about cleaning, the staff is sane. The pool is small, clean, they take care of the children. It works until 16:00, but no one bothers you, even if you swim in the evening. Enough sun loungers, all with umbrellas. Opposite the hotel, the only piece of the beach that is not crowded with sunbeds is the territory of children's camps. A fairy tale and a holiday, few children. There are plenty of restaurants nearby. The hotel itself is on a hill, but on the first line, for example, from the same Berlin Garden, go much further. A solid four on a five-point scale, I recommend to young families for a quiet holiday.
Cons look like nitpicking: a very noisy riser, for example. The water merges with the roar of the waterfall)) I mowed the door of the veranda a little - they themselves noticed and twisted it. The ground floor rooms have small kitchenettes but no pots and pans. They do not clean according to the schedule, but as they want, but every day. We were satisfied, really lucky - there are fours that are much worse, farther from the sea and dirtier. On the same line, this hotel is probably the most modest, but, as they say, "simplicity is not a sin. " Precisely modest, not poor or redneck. You can go without thinking.

I would never have thought that I would be going to Bulgaria. But then I felt on myself that it’s not worth renouncing. In short, it happened like this, they flew. Well, besides, you need to go everywhere, put a tick - I already reassured myself on the way)) And we arrived at Golden Sands, the name was encouraging and, you know, the devil is not so terrible.

Well, besides, you need to go everywhere, put a tick - I already reassured myself on the way)) And we arrived at Golden Sands, the name was encouraging and, you know, the devil is not so terrible...
We drove from the airport to the hotel in less than an hour - this is the first thing we liked, not stressful. The hotel was not settled immediately, but this is in the order of things, we went to wander around the area. While wandering, he noted that our hotelier is located very even nothing, in the center of "life" - well, see for yourself: shops, restaurants, bars - they are all within easy reach, we thought there would be something to do in the evenings.
While walking and the number was ready, I tell. They settled us on the ground floor, I was about to be indignant, I don’t have a good attitude towards the first floors, then I went out onto the balcony, the view is nothing like the sea, and the balcony, guys, is smaller in my house))) The room is also big by the way. Decided the rest. They didn't guess. 200 meters to the sea, the sand is really golden, well, yellow in the sense) Nice beach, no stones. It's nice to get into the water.
Service... Everything is somehow slow, but on the other hand, in Moscow we are used to running somewhere, and on vacation we tried to do everything automatically... But after a few days you get used to this Bulgarian slowness and relaxation and even get a taste) The main thing is to go out when necessary) But I had no complaints about the quality, they do their job normally.
The food was - “you can eat”, well, nothing special, they saw better, they also walked around the institution, for example, there is a restaurant nearby, it’s quite nothing.
In general, the hotel was satisfied. We had a good rest, my girlfriend and I generally have a good time together, now here we are in Bulgaria!

Vacationing with my husband. From living in Palm Beach there were only pleasant impressions. It is a bit out of the center, although on the front page, and despite the fact that there are bars and restaurants nearby, it is relatively quiet.

Vacationing with my husband. From living in Palm Beach there were only pleasant impressions. It is a bit out of the center, although on the front page, and despite the fact that there are bars and restaurants nearby, it is relatively quiet. Since the sea was still not warm enough on our holiday, we appreciated the pool. An interesting observation: in hotels where mostly Germans rest, the pool is not overcrowded. Mostly Russians come to Palm Beach, so the pool is empty. There is free Wi-Fi near the lobby bar. In addition, there are computers with paid internet. The rooms are clean and furnished exactly as shown in the photos. Nuance: a double bed is two one-and-a-half, made up together. The room is cleaned daily, towels are changed, even if not thrown on the floor. During the week of rest, towels were folded three times into the figures of swans, etc. The staff is mostly Russian-speaking. The food was very good, expected the worst. After reading the reviews about the tasteless and non-diverse feeders in most 4-star hotels in Golden Sands, they nevertheless took a chance and took a half board (breakfast + dinner). Didn't have to regret. Fruits, berries, vegetables, various salads were always in abundance. Large selection of desserts. For dinner, a variety of meat dishes, but there were no fish dishes. Of the minuses regarding food: with half board, drinks are not included in dinner. Palm Beach has bowling, billiards, spa treatments, slot machines, an indoor pool. Opposite the lobby bar there is a currency exchange, the rate is quite acceptable, there is no queue, which cannot be said about the exchanger in Raiffeisen, which is located on the waterfront in the center. The low cost of living due to the fact that although the hotel itself has 4 stars, the lobby bar and restaurant have a certificate of only 3 stars. All in all, Palm Beach is an inexpensive, relaxing vacation spot.

Rested with friends in June 2011. I really liked the hotel. Three of us lived in a two-room apartment. Great sea view! In my opinion, the hotel is located in the best location of the resort. In front of the hotel there is a beach "for children's camps", where there is always a lot of space. A walk to the noisiest places of the resort takes up to 15 minutes.

Meals - buffet breakfasts were monotonous, although quite sufficient.
The staff is friendly and accommodating. The rooms are clean and the furniture is new.
I recommend to everyone!

I went down the stairs (I don’t understand why they consider it long, scary, dangerous, etc. , such a normal staircase !!! ) crossed a small path, passed one cafe and here’s a beach for you .

I went down the stairs (I don’t understand why they consider it long, scary, dangerous, etc. , such a normal staircase !!! ) crossed a small path, passed one cafe and here’s a beach for you . . mitrov 20 in total all the way =)
The sea was calm, only by the evening it was beeping mud and it was extremely unpleasant to swim. There were practically no jellyfish. It's bad that sunbeds are paid. Speaking of sunbeds. There were very unpleasant boys who worked on the beach. They could send it in plain text when they called to pay for a sunbed, they had to wait until they themselves deign to come up... they drove them from unpaid sunbeds, but they didn’t take the money, they said to wait for the “main thing”.
The food is so-so... we ate normally only a couple of times, there are few fruits and everything is tasteless. I had to "eat up" in the nearest cafes.
There are few people in the pool, which is very pleased! A very big plus is that the center is very close, it takes 15-20 minutes to get to it, but you can really walk normally or go to a cafe. If you are tired, you can drive up to the hotel by train (they went all the time), it costs a penny. There are places to buy souvenirs and everything is relatively inexpensive. There are 2 mini markets near the hotel where you can buy a snack for the evening or on the beach for children.
In general, I liked everything, for small flaws !! ! Solid 4!
