| said: We liked the hotel very much. It’s one of the best we’ve ever stayed in in sunny Beach. As per the Bulgarian standards, it is a four-star quality hotel.
It’s situated at the north end of Sunny Beach, just next to Helena Sands. It’s only a wide walking alley that stands between it and the thin-sand beach. There are various opinions regarding the hotel location. On the one hand, it takes some 30 minutes to walk from the noisy centre; on the other hand, it’s very quiet in the evening and the noise from the discos and bars doesn’t bother one’s sleep. It’s the ideal place for someone who seeks calmness. Getting to the stop of the mini train and the buses takes some ten minutes. It takes a bit less to get to the first kiosks and Crown change bureaux.
Altogether, the hotel disposes of 277 rooms dispersed on 10 floors. The reception desk is in the lobby, there are upholstered booths, a lobby bar, two lifts and a restaurant. There is a consulting room, a hairdresser’s, a souvenir shop, a mini shop and a few PCs for internet usage. Outside the hotel, there is a swimming pool with a terrace and a bar. The sunbeds and the parasols at the swimming pool are for free.
Almost everybody at the reception desk speaks both English and German very well. Checks-in and out were easy to make.
Some comfortable booths with padded seats are located in the ample lobby. There are three TV sets so everyone could watch the games from the European football championship. Cleanliness there was spotless. The staff were dusting and polishing all the time.
The comfy lobby bar is in the foyer, too. The small footstools were also spectacular. They are very uncommon in Sunny Beach; however, they make sitting very relaxing. The bar was open non stop, its staff working in three shifts. We arrived at 3:30 in the morning and by 6:00 a.m. we had several Bulgarian pints. The shifts were as follows: 8.00 a.m. – 4.00 p.m, 4.00 - 12.00 p.m. and from 12.00 pm. to 8.00 am.
The three teams took perfect care of us. We even had a table that was booked only for us. Well, we downed a lot of bottles of wine there.
The food at the hotel was extremely delicious, including breakfast - this is exceptional in Sunny Beach. Breakfast and dinner were served as a buffet. The choice was wide and there was enough from everything. They were constantly stocking the table up.
The customer service at the restaurant was of high level. Dirty cutlery was quickly taken away and ordered drinks were served with no delay.
On Sundays, a Bulgarian thematic evening would take place. Colourful table cloths that are typical for Bulgaria were put on the white ones. After the toast with a sip of Rakiya and a hand-made piece of bread, we were served typical Bulgarian dishes. After that guests could enjoy Bulgarian folklore. An orchestra played in the rest of the evenings; everyone willing to dance could do it.
Our rooms were spacious. They were furnished with the typical stuff. There was an air-conditioner, phone, TV set, mini bar and a balcony. I liked the shower. It was so made that one had to be very awkward or malicious to flood the bathroom.
The rooms were cleaned every day, towels being changed constantly. During my three-week stay we had our sheets changed several times.

| said: The hotel was very good the breakfasts were to die for as you could get as much as you like here is a list of food for breakfast.
chilled water,4 types of fruit juice,almost 5 types of fresh fruit every morning,3 types of cereal,3 or 4 cold meats tomatoes,cucumber and 2 or 3 sorts of cheese, at least 5 different breads then there was the cooked food which consisted of chips ,bacon, fried eggs,scrambled eggs,boiled eggs,bacon 2 types of sausages,fried tomatoes, fried mushrooms,and always a few other items. Plus every morning there was fresh pancakes being made and lots of cakes and biscuits all at breakfast time.
There was also a table with biscuits and cake bars on for diabetics which suitd us as my mum is a diabetic.
The only complaint about the hotel was that the swimming pool could have been cleaner as there seamed to be a scummy floor which sometimes could be slippy.The only entertainment in the hotel are 3 people playing music every night outside.
Location is in a very quite part of resort and there is about a 20 minute walk to the centre.

| said: The room was clean spacious and plenty of space for 3 adults - the downside was that there were only two normal beds and the other being a sofa bed (which was very uncomfortable for an adult) but I understand this is normal in all the hotels in Bulgaria- varied choice of food, you could always find something to eat to suit your dietary needs.
Loved the fresh cooked pancakes in the morning (you only need to ask and they will cook mostly anything that you require)- lovely sea view from the room.

| said: We stayed here in September & unfortunatley the weather was bad which we half expected as September can be a funny month in Bulgaria for the weather. Although the hotel was clean, the staff I thought were rude. We have stayed in a number of hotels in Sunny Beach and this was one of the worse for politeness and friendleness. (Excuse my spelling). Having said that we did not spend much time in the hotel so it wasn't a problem. The hotel is at the Northern end of the resort & approx 30 mins away from the centre, so is a bit out of the way. The food was pretty awful but this is the same for most hotels in Bulgaria, but it is so cheap to eat out, this isn't a problem.

| said: We stayed for a week at Fiesta Beach hotel.
For the lazy, I found it acceptable overall.
My more specific review:
The food was good when we ordered things from the menu, but the dinner buffet served mostly disgusting dried out rubbish.
Needless to say I stopped attending the prepaid evening dinner sessions after a few dissapointing experiences.
I found the food generally bland. Eating out is something you should investigate if you're a fussy eater.
The hotel was very clean apart from a few noticable old stains on the hallway carpets.
I really can't fault the hotel on its cleanliness... the cleaners do a great job and won't bother you while you're still in your room. (They open the door just a crack to see if your card is in the slot (on the wall just inside the door) and they leave without a word if it is)... they also obey the 'do not disturb' sign, even if you're not in your room.
The rooms are spacious, well equipped, with very nicely tiled and modernly designed bathrooms (toilet, shower, hand-basin, hairdryer, clean towels, bin, large mirrors)
The only complaint I had about the room was the noise outside of it... people slamming doors in the middle of the night, hearing the taps go on and off in adjacent rooms, and the annoying loud buzzing/humming sound out on my balcony. (which I assume was some vent/fan on the roof)
I had a good view of the beach and sea from my balcony due to the hotels nice location.
The rooms have TVs with satellite, but if English is your only language; you'll find yourself flicking through 40-odd channels of incomprehensible gibberish to find anything worth watching. My faverites were Discovery, Animal Planet and EuroNews. And if you're feeling lonely; one TV station has 'adult entertainment' after 2am. My rooms TV on-screen-menu was in Bulgarian, but if you poke around in the options you can change the menu language which makes life a lot easier.
Each room has a phone, so if your party is devided among different rooms, you can just punch in the number of their room and call them directly... very useful.
I'm sorry I never got a chance to try out the hotels pool, I just couldn't get up early enough to reserve a sun lounger, and there really weren't that many of them.
Everyone seemed to be lying around on the sunbeds taking up space and not using the pool... which seemed pointless and selfish to me, since I'd have used the pool if there was room to hang my towel.
But this hotel is right on the beach, so I had many a swim in the sea instead.
In terms of the waiting service, I didn't think it was anything special... The staff were not rude at any stage, but they seemed very quiet and mumbly, but then I suppose I'd be quiet and mumbly too if I were to attempt speaking to them in Bulgarian.
The entertainment was either non-existant or point-blank rubbish. Every night at dinner had the same man and woman singing the same set over and over. (American/English pop with a Bulgarian accent) One night we had Bulgarian music and dancing... but I didn't see much of it since I was eating indoors and they were performing outside.
I frequently found while sitting in the bar area that the music from the lobby would be competing with the music from the bar,two different songs, neither of which I could enjoy due to the presence of the other.
All minor gripes though, over all I found my stay at the Fiesta Beach hotel to be a pleasant experience.
You'll see other hotels that look bigger and more impressive and yet others that seem tiny by comparison, not a bad choice all things considered.

| said: Having been double booked twice by Thomson and only advised 2 days before flying I visited this hotel with trepidation!! A lot of the guests in the hotel had boked for other hotels and been moved the the Fiesta so alarm bells were ringing.
The positives of this hotel is the position (away from the hectic centre of Sunny Beach) only a 20 mins walk to central Sunny Beach or a short trip onthe miniture train that runs regularly. Hotel drinks in the pool bar and Fiesta Beach bar are all reasonably priced. Food generally was good - breakfast particularly good. Rooms large and beds really comfortable with plenty of hot water. Staff helpful and friendly particularly Natalie who greated all guests as they entered the dining room.
Negatives is there are insufficent sun beds for hotel, and they were reserved from sometimes as early as 3.00am in the morning. Maid service not as good as it should have been, as dressing table not cleaned whilst we were there and the glasses left in the room were never washed.
Weather was very poor for first week of July - windy and chilly in the evening and only 2 days in the week was it warm enough to spend it on the beach

| said: We have just come back from the Fiesta Beach and had a great time.
The hotel was clean and the staff couldn't do enough to help you. The room was on the large side and the view was of the pool and beach which was lovely.
The best thing about this hotel is the food which you would be hard pressed to not find anything you would like. The breakfast had an array of fresh fruit, cereal, breads and hot food and the evening food was lovely with some really nice deserts.Bottle of wine £4. The food in the pool bar was great at dinner and very well priced dinner for the three of us and drinks about £6.
The only down side is no entertainment but you are really near bars etc. The one good thing about this is you don't have the music blarring and everybody coming up at the same time half cut so the hotel was very quiet in the evening and the corridors have carpet on so no noisey children running up and down.

| said: The Fiesta Beach hotel is a nice hotel situated at the north of Sunny Beach on the promenade across from the beach. We paid just over £300 each and for the money we were pleased. If my budget had been £400+ then I would have stayed next door at the Helena Sands, 5 star and beautiful. We had a suite and a fantastic sea view. The room was basic but plenty of room, clean and I can't say enough about the view.
The staff were helpful, but not overly friendly.
The food wasn't very nice although in one week we had dinner just once. Food outside the hotel isn't too hot either, apart from the baked potatoes from the little stands.
If I was looking for a cheap break I would go back, we did thoroughly enjoy it, however as I've said an extra £100 could get you something very very nice.

| said: This is our second time staying at the Fiesta Beach Hotel we stayed in July last year and decided to visit again in September this year when we booked our holiday we requested a specific room in the hotel which was ready for us when we arrived.
We found the three maids on level 5 friendly, trustworthy and kept the rooms very clean 2 of them were there last year Radka and Kalinka who reconised us as soon as we met them and treated us as friends.
Our towels were changed any time we left them on the floor and our bed linen was changed regulary.
Last year we went b&b only this year we tried HB but to be honest if we were to book again we would rather have B&B as the breakfast is excellent and the evening meals can be iffy until you find what you like.
The location suited us as it is at the northern end of the resort and can be quiet although if you are looking something more lively you can each it within ten minutes walking distance.
When we arrived we found the porters could be a bit pushy wanting to help you with your luggage even though we knew which floor we were staying on we sayed we did not need any help but one in particular would not take no for an answer.
On visiting reception a few times some of the reception staff seemed to reconise us and seemed very pleased to see us.
Bar and restaurant staff were mostly new but when you greeted them with a smile and hello they responded in kind and were mostly friendly.
On the down side of the holiday were the flight times especially the one coming home as we did not arrive back into Belfast until 03.30 in the morning we kept our room on until 6 p.m. and were charged an extra £20 for the pleasure but having said that we would be very happy to visit this hotel again.

| said: We were allocated to this hotel following a disastrous five days in Elenite.
When we arrived we were very pleased with the hotel and our room which was a suite overlooking the beach was very spacious and was very nicely decorated ( not much space for 5 peoples clothes - but to be fair what hotels are these days ). The hotel was very clean and I honestly did not ever see any rubbish or mess anywhere.
The food however leaves alot to be desired, it is definatly not the best food Ive ever had but every person you meet from other hotels say the same, it is really cheap to eat out and there are loads of nice restaurants to eat out. As a family of 2 adults, 2 kids aged 5 and 3 plus a baby we could eat 3 course meals with drinks for £25 and be totally full, the steaks you get in Bulgaria are fab.
The location of the hotel suited us, it was at the quieter end of Sunny Beach with not much going on but this is a blessing especially during the day when there is hundreds of people walking about 10 minutes down the road and you cant move. If you are not mobile this is not really the best place for you to stay because it is to far to walk we took a buggy for the 3 year old and she needed it day and night.
Hotel staff are pleasant but dont fall over themselves to help you ( exception being the maids they were so nice and they loved the kids especially the baby. )Reception staff were often quite rude and on the last day we were refused exit visas until we paid 105 lev for the cot which under our booking was free, we had no choice to pay or we wouldnt have been able to leave the country.
We were told you could not use the mini bar but I did I put babies milk in and other items and I was never charged rental - it is the maid who checks so smile and be nice to her..........
Entertainment was pretty much non exsistant but we used to go out to eat every night and only came back when we were ready to go to our room.
If I am honest I would not visit again because of the food, it is cheap to eat out but when you have paid for half board the food should be decent enough.

| said: Bourgas airport deserves a mention, passport control is significantly more nerve wracking than the Mediterranean destinations we are used to. Your passport had better be pristine, we saw one couple refused entry because their's had been through a washing machine, fair enough you might say, just be aware that this airport takes the scrutinising of passports very, very seriously and if they choose to open only two booths to process people, then two booths it will be. The queue was magnificent in it's size and sweatiness.
Transfer was spot on, check-in equally so, staff transferred our luggage to our 9th floor room very quickly which gave rise to the first tipping opportunity, I like to tip but not while I am being watched by the recipient, maybe it is an English thing, or just me.
Room size was generous, 10 year old son was on a chair bed thingy, ok for him might be a bit of a drag for an adult. Do not be putting things in the minibar, you will be charged rental, a modest 4 lev a day, do not be putting things in the digital safe unless you are happy to pay the 7 lev a day, payable in advance. Beds are pretty comfortable, I like a couple of pillows but one each is the standard issue. Bathroom is well spaced, the shower can be a bit dribbly at peak times but was adequate even then. Can get a little humid with the door shut as there are no windows, so get showered and get out. Balcony view was good, but I thought it was pretty damn narrow, perfectly ok to sit on but you are not going to crash out on it and catch some rays. I reckon the bedding was changed at least three times, and the hotel must have an inexhaustible supply of towels because they change them daily. You also need to remember that the aircon will go off when you leave the room.
Food was a major disappointment for us, I think they are trying to be jack of all trades, this means you end up with an English breakfast made with local produce which does not make for a very happy marriage,they got a bit panicky one morning and grilled the fried eggs,looked very odd. There is a decent spread of croissants / breads though and the expected cheese and salami for our mid European cousins. I think they should direct people requiring English breakfast to the nearest airport.
Evening meal got us down, you can do more with a potato than fry or boil it, vegetables are not an afterthought. The whole turkeys abandoned on the hotplate was an amusing diversion, how nobody lost a limb in the scrum I will never know. Impressing array of coloured cakes every evening though, if you want ice cream for afters send your child, or someone else who doesn't mind getting sticky. We would have liked them to do their own thing really, or if they are going to specifically target other nationalities cuisine, then get it right.
The hotel pool is pretty good, sun lounger reservation is the name of the game though.
Hotel staff were generally pretty good, got a bit lethargic in the evenings, but who knows what shifts they are working? Got a bit irritating when all change, regardless of the amount, was considered a tip.
Got round this by paying at the bar and then invariably giving the change back anyway. Generally they are pretty good and their English is significantly better than my Bulgarian.
Entertainment, the much mentioned trio are still there! Some reps turned up one night and shouted at the children in between Agadoo songs, didn't bother us too much but parents will generally have to entertain their own kids, or get someone else's kids to do the job.
We wouldn't come back to this hotel, but to be fair we are probably happier self catering in an apartment somewhere less developed anyway.

Found the hotel to be very clean with freindly staff.the food was excellent, the bulgarian dishes were particulaly good for those that were prepared to try them.
The location of the hotel was ideal for a family a short walk from the centre, but with plenty
of bars & food outlets nearby.
Hotel bars were excellent & really cheap on par with other bars in the resort,the fiesta beach bar was excellent & open 24 hrs.
On a negative note there could be a lot of noise with people arriving & departing at all hours of the night, add to that, people returning from bars & not respecting others wishes to sleep,doors slamming etc,
It did lead to a few disturbed nights, would strongly recomend ear plugs for light sleepers!
Another problem was that the tiles around the kids pool were very slippery & you cannot expect kids not to run,I saw several children fall and hurt themselves,
this is something the travel agent will not tell you and needs to be addressed immediately.
There was also a distinct lack of sunbeds around the pool,all were taken by 7am .(usally with no one on them till after 11 am).
However, on the whole a great value for money hotel that I would visit again.

| said: This hotel is defintley not a 4* hotel. Compared to other 4*hotels it would only be a 3*.
When we first arrived we were allocated a room on the 7th floor. The room was basic, two single beds and a fold out bed, 1 small wardrobe, w.c, shower, t.v. and cabinet and a small fridge which the hotel filled up. (be careful when you are checking out, as they tried to charge us for drinks from the fridge that we hadn't had!)
In the first week, the problem with the water started. After 4pm there was no water from the 2nd floor upwards until around 10pm, and the same on the morning from around 8am until mid morning. When we complained we were first told that there was nothing they could do, as it was a problem in the resort. After about 4 days of no water to shower, shave, brush teeth or even go to the toilet, we were told a room was available to shower in, but what about a toilet? We were eventually moved to the 2nd floor with a view of a building site (Majestic next door).
The pool was cold, no sunbeds unless you got up about 5am and the tiles very slippery.
The food the first week was ok, but went down hill the second week, however the staff were very nice and polite.
Towels were changed regularly.

We saw some of the previous postings and have to disagree with comments made last year.
Food plentiful and decent quality. Staff very friendly
rooms clean and tidied. The only very small grumbles would be the lack of sunbeds (due to people getting up in the early hours to put their towels out).
It is a good 20 min walk to town centre so if you are with kids, you may well have to get a taxi or mini train back to the hotel.. PS we were warned that there was some cosmetic work being carried out on a hotel next to the Fiesta beach. Nothing to worry about as it is landscaping and painting of the exterior. All in all I would recommend the hotel as it is in the quiet end of the resort. Enjoy !

| said: I also booked this Hotel prior to visiting this website, after reading some of the reviews on here I worried that I may have made a mistake. However upon arrival my worries were quickly put to rest.
The Hotel is constantly being cleaned and although the quality and finish of some of the workmanship is questionable I felt it was good value for money and not so big a place that you couldn't strike up a rapport with some of the staff who were all very obliging and hard working.
The waiting staff work extremely hard and have a good grasp of English and can remember exactly what you ordered and for whom!
Of the food the breakfast was best, although there was always something for everyone and food was always being replenished I felt that there was too much of an attempt to please the English pallete.
Location for us was great, within easy walking distance of resort centre, yet located far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle of the street sellers.
Entertainment consisted of the same three piece vocal group all week who turned out the same performance everynight, although they did put on Karaoke on a couple of nights (to please the English?)only a few die hards attended. So if you are looking to be entertained then this is not for you!
Like almost everyone else who reviewed this Hotel (and probably many other Hotels) the theme of empty sunbeds with towels on them and nobody in the pool or vicinity was true, though as the holiday Rep pointed out,'We can't blame the Germans as the Hotel was 90% British residents!'.

The staff are excellent, you are made to feel welcome from the moment you arrive until the moment you leave. The waiters in particular are very chivalrous, pouring drinks etc. All staff go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable.
Entertainment was lacking but it was easy enough and cheap enough to go elsewhere. There was a pianist who was particularly good though.
My main problem was with the food! If you didn't like veal or seafood there was very little choice for a main meal. (The pizza stand just up from the hotel was great though!!)
My friend and I have just booked our next holiday to Bulgaria and although we opted for the Riu Helena Sands this time it was a tough choice.

The food was undercooked and when we cut into the chicken it was often still pink. There was a lot of food available but most of it was meats which were not cooked properly.
Staff were sometimes friendly but others were quite moody and it took ages for our drinks 2 arrive during our dinner at night.
The hotel was very clean and towels were given to you whenever you wanted them.
Entertainment was non-existent apart from a man and woman who sang every night!
Wouldn't go back to this hotel as I didn't like the food at all, ate chips for a fortnight and overall thought the staff could have been much more friendlier.
This is more a hotel for families rather than young couples!

This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at.
Basically food is lovely, something for everyone (even veggies).
Rooms are great, cleaned to a high standard.
Staff very friendly will go out of their way to help.
The hotel is cleaned from top to bottom 24/7.
Overall a big thumbs up!!!!

| said: We were a group of three lads aged 28+. This is what we found.
Hotel was very clean, the staff were very friendly. 80% are female. We could always have a laugh with the bar staff, and have the odd joke.
The bulgarians seemed very chilled out as we openly walked around the hotel with our drinks and nobody seemed to mind.
Situated in a very nice part of the resort. Ideal if you want to chill out as the other hotels in the centre are all hustle and bustle.
Food was very basic, but plenty of it, and the entertainment was funny in the sense that these two singers would play on and on even if nobody was watching.
The only real complaint I have is that the Bulgarians have a communist way of thinking. 10 people to do one persons job. For example, they always over staff....they will have 5 barstaff at 5am in the morning when no-one is there.
If you have a pint half empty and decide to go to the toilet, more than likely when you come back it will be gone, as they automatically assume you have finished???
This happended on a number of occasions. Some of them can be quite the 'jobsworth'. In total...loved it and would go back one day.

The food was good if you like chicken and veal.
The staff were really friendly and most of them enjoyed a joke with you.
The hotel cleaning staff never stopped.
The only concern I had was with the pool it was a dirty and we only saw it being cleaned twice! Plus it was difficult to get a sunbed as people would put towels on them and then you would never see them again.
The hotel lacked entertainment, but on our second week Airtours put on a disco (2 nights) for the kids and we (being the adults) enjoyed it just as much as the kids hopefully this will be increased in the future. -
Overall I would go back again and again (but maybe try another hotel only because we have stayed in the Fiesta twice)

There was 13 of us in the group all family and everyone was very pleased with this hotel. Cannot understand the "this is not a 4 star hotel" syndrome. Would just say if you want 4* pay 4* money as I thought this hotel was real good value for what we paid to stay there. The hotel is spotless and the rooms clean and also a decent size too. My wife and I had a Family room and it was the best sized room i have stayed in on any holiday.
The beach towel thing is a problem and we noticed it seemed to get worse in the second week. As my room overlooked the pool i saw on many occasion at 3-4am people putting towels out !!!!!! sad i know.
Just one piece of advice if you get a drink in the bar pay for it in the bar. dont take it into the resturant and pay for it in there. I was accused twice of stealing a free pint...there is no way you would do that its that cheap anyway all got sorted in the end.
The Fiesta Beach Bar is a great place to chill and relax. The staff are great. We found a bar not far from hotel Condor bar a short taxi ride this was 1 lev for a big bottle of Becks 30p yeha as you can imagine we spent alot of time in there and the bar is modern plays good vibes however suits younger people more than the wrinkleys.

The room was huge with a large balcony with fantastic views. Staff were really, really friendly and more than willing to help at any time of day or night. The hotel was one of the cleanest i have stayed in and was very impressed. The food was good and there was not one evening that it wasn't hot! I really liked the located of the hotel because it was not right in the centre of the resort...made for a nice evening going for a walk along the promenade as plenty of bars along the way!! Entertainment was poor...practically non-existent apart from a couple who sang. More entertainment would be a definite improvement in this hotel as well as a games room for the kids but overall a wonderful hotel and would definitely go back again.

| said: Hotel was adequate but more like 3 star, rather than 4. Bedroom was fine but be careful of the shower especially if you follow someone in because it was very slippy.
Food was as I expected but I was surprised to see tinned tomatoes for breakfast 'a pleasant surprise may I add'.
The staff were friendly on the whole though some were a bit surly.
Hotel location is quite a way from the resort centre but it's not too bad and there are plenty of bars on the way to break up the walk.
Entertainment is almost non existent, Karaoke a couple of nights a week in the dining room, and a duet on the odd night, again in the dining room. I saw them one night singing to themselves, not one person in there, but they soldiered on.
Please be careful if you book a late checkout as I wouldn't want the same thing to happen to anyone else that happened to us. We had a late flight so we paid 60 Lev to keep the room until 6:00pm. Went up at 5:00pm for a shower and to get changed for the journey home and our room had been wiped out except for our cases. No shaving equipment, shower gel, wife's perfume (and it wasn't the local stuff),and worst of all no clothes that we left out for flying home(including underwear). To be fair the receptionist did all she could to retrieve our belongings. Her words were "I'll Keel that chambermaid" and she did give us a refund. They finally showed up just before we were to leave(everything except our underwear for some strange reason) and we just had time for a quick change in the toilets. All's well that ends well.

| said: You can see where this hotel has been rushed to be finished in lots of places ie doors sticking, cracks in concrete of stairs, but it was clean and tidy.
Staff were mostly great and friendly. Rooms cleaned daily, towels changed whenever you wanted just had to leave them on floor.
A good selection of continental and english breakfast always something you could eat. Evening meal, partner and son thought was great a good choice of food but I am very fussy so mostly ate a lot of soup and cakes, the cakes were absolutely delicious and a great selection to choose from.
Pool was great even though it was freezing when first getting in. Sunbeds always taken but that didn't bother us as we were more than happy just to sit at one of the tables where we were better placed to watch our son in the pool.
Lots of british people in the hotel so got to chat to lots of people found most of them had been moved to this hotel at the last minute by Balkan due to overbooking etc.
No entertainment in hotel at all especially for children but plenty to do in resort. No kids club. When we went we were informed by Balkan rep - no kids in resort but son could go and sit in a hotel room with others and paint or watch tv.
The hotel room was a good 45 minute walk from our hotel and we do not go on holiday to have our son sit in a room painting or watching TV as he can do these things anytime at home. He wanted to go on the pirate trip and do the bowling.

The hotel is always being cleaned day and night. You have to be very careful when walking in hotel as the floors are always being mopped and are very slippy when wet.
The food was nice and you have always got plenty to choose from, we enjoyed the breakfast more than the tea.
The hotel is at the end of resort but we were glad it was because there wasn’t that many people walking past which made it more private.
The staff are very friendly but always want tipping and if you don’t they remember you and will short change you so give them a little something, 1 lev is only 30p.
There wasn’t any entertainment in hotel but it doesn’t really matter as there is plenty on main stretch next to the beach which is only five minutes walk.
The pool is freezing, no it’s not, it's ice cold freezing but the sea is nearby which is much warmer but beware of jelly fish there’s loads of them.
I would come back to this hotel we really enjoyed it here.
The cleaners did our room everyday and did a really good job.
We had a sea view and it was lovely every morning I would get up and look outside it was out of this world

| said: We arrived at Bourgas airport supposed to be staying in the Grand hotel Sunny Beach, only to be told at the last minute there had been a problem with our hotel so we were going to be moved. As the group I was in was 5 young lads we thought that the holiday company were going to put us in some shoddy hotel, but this was not the case.
We arrived at 3am and the staff were all there waiting to greet us. We were booked in quickly and were shown to our room straight away. We were in a suite, which has more than adequate space, and the room has good facilities. However, we were told that the hotel has only been open 2 months and there are already cracks in the walls, paint missing on some walls. I think the builders must've had to rush to get the hotel open in time.
The hotel is on the very edge of the resort which is ok as there are not many people walking passed as your in the pool etc.. but it is quite a walk to the centre of the resort, but its all flat so not to much energy needed.
As it was 5 young lads we didn't spend much time with the hotel entertainment, but there is a duo on singing at meal times and they do try, their English singing of the Carpenters beats my Bulgarian singing hands down!
A few negatives are that we didn't get clean towels every day, and every time we went to the pool the sun loungers were full of towels and no people. Also the food isn't great, so enjoy the breakfast but eat out at night, it's cheap enough.

| said: We stayed at fiesta Beach for 2 weeks, and on the whole thought it was fantastic! On arrival the reception staff quickly gave us our room keys and a porter took our cases, having no lev's in change we could not tip him and I don't think he minded!
The food was ok, some nights better than others, the deserts were fantastic. Some nights there was not much to choose from, other nights was ok. breakfast was ok, although the beans were a little strange and i think they think that we like chips with everything!
The staff were ok, some more friendly that others, the recpetion staff could hae been more helpful, you had to get them on a good day, and they would try to sell you newspapers from days ago, even though the one you wanted was there! Also gave them some postcards to post and as yet, none of the people i sent them to have received them! ! !
The room was nice, spacious, although I didn't have a pool/sea view, but for the amount of time i was in the room it did not matter!
There was not enough sunbeds and this was a problem for some, but I was always able to get yhe emount I needed, and did find it frustrating to be sat by empty sunbeads with towels on and no people until late afternoon! - The pool man didn't seem to do anything about it, although be warned, on day all the towelss did get removed! The pool was cold and there were jelly fish in the sea so my time in the water was limited, but it was nice to be so close to the beach!
The singer was not great, the man who played the keyborad was better on his own, but all this is new to them and so it can only improve!
I would go back to this hote;!

The entertainment was not very good. Spent every night in the bars/restaurant of the resort.
The food was not great. For the week I lived on melon!! It is very cheap to eat out so not the be all and end all.
The hotel itself was kept clean. In some parts of the hotel the builders did not do a great job. Cracks down walls, stairs uneven and crumbling etc.
Tour rep advised that this hotel is at the "posh end" of the resort and you can certainly see why!!
Would definitely visit this hotel again.

| said: The duration of my stay at Fiesta Beach was only 1 week and during my stay I became very dissatisfied with the hotel.
First impressions of Fiesta Beach were good, the reception area is attractive and clean and the staff seemed to be polite and helpful, after checking in and collecting our room key we went up to our room via the lift.
NOTE: If you prefer the stairs to the lift take care as they are unfinished and in no safe condition.
Entering our room the first thing I noticed was 2 large holes in the ceiling exposing several cables and pipes, the carpet was laid very badly showing the concreted floors underneath and there were no fixtures or fittings leaving the room looking bear and empty, the balcony was very small, although we did have a beach view (which was better than the building site view on the other side of the hotel).
NOTE: Beach view requests cost extra.
Our first meal in the restaurant was very disappointing, as was every meal, the choice of food was limited and the chicken and sausages were badly uncooked (still pink) as well as stone cold, there was also lack of space resulting in shared and crammed tables. To be totally honest we did not look forward to meal times in the hotel and very often opted to go elsewhere for our meals.
During our stay at the Fiesta Beach Hotel we encountered several problems, the attitude from the bar and reception staff was also a problem as they are very rude and ignorant to any problems you may have e.g. During my stay I encountered a fall on the balcony after the leg of a plastic chair broke from underneath me when I sat down, after going to the reception to repot it, I was told that I would be charged 30Lv to replace the chair which was faulty.
Also during our stay my partner unfortunately mislaid our room key, after explaining to a member off staff what had happened he offered to let us into our room but then attempted to lock us in our room as he would not let us have a spare key and we did not want to sleep with the door unlocked (in the event of a fire what were we supposed to do!!!???) after refusing to be locked in our room I went down to the reception to explain, there I was greeted by a very rude and impolite lady who demanded 70Lv for a replacement key!
After I was separated from my money we then began to notice that our room service ceased to exist, towels and toilet rolls were not replaced, surely a hotel like this one would have more than 2 keys per room????
Before leaving for the airport we went to the reception area to receive our leaving visa, here I was told that according to there records I had not been staying in the hotel and I could not have a visa from them, after a lengthy dispute, I was finally issued with a visa.
NOTE: trying to leave Bulgaria without a visa from your hotel results in a £200 fine
I am also aware that several other people staying at the Fiesta Beach Hotel were unhappy with the standards and intended to take matters further, especially one woman who was given the staff room to sleep in after she found a mouse in her room

As with the whole resort salads are not like what you expect a salad to be it would be mor like a chopped potato salad.
As for the cleanliness we had two maids on our floor which were excellent we were in 507 and my daughter, son and future son-in-law were in 502s there suite comprising of two single beds and one pull out double bed setee our beds were changed at least 4 times over the two week period and our towels changed every day if you wanted them to be all you had to do was leave your dirty towel on the floor and when you came back it was changed. Our maids even folded our 16 year old sons clothes in the morning.
Location sea front, but a bit away from the center about a 20 minute walk but all on the flat but there was a small mini train service from the back of the Victoria Palace which would only be a five minutes walk away.
We found all the waiting staff to be very friendly and the night we arrived at about 2a.m. we stayed up until four having a drink and the staff had a lot of time to talk also they are catching on to the English language very quick just wish we could pick up Bulgarian as quick as It was our fourth time in Bulgaria.
There is a duo who play beside the pool every night also a childrens play pool and a deeper pool and there is a pool table for any one to use.
We would love to visit this hotel again and maybe it could be next year.

| said: Having read the other reviews I feel I must support some of the comments made but also in fairness I might lend some support to the hotel side of the story. Firstly, yes the hotel was indeed being finished off but most of the room froms the 1st to the 5th where finished, the other 4 floors where to coin a phrase "under construction". The hotel had been opened 10 days when we got there and the food on offer was generally good and edible. The staff where very inexperienced and we too suffered the curse of the phantom mini-bar bill. We used the mini-bar three times in the first week and I paid the 17 leva charge obtaining a receipt. Imagine my surprise when I was asked to pay it again at checkout time. The Maids mini-bar charge sheets from had the dates 28/29/30th June. Our receipt was dated first of July. The receptionist (aka the poisoned dwarf) got a bit uppity saying "we do not make mistakes" I pointed out it would be impossible for the maids to fill our Mini-bar up twice a day and then forget to put a second set of charge sheets in. To be fair they where probably scraping the bottom of the worthwhile employee barrel when staffing the hotel. Indeed the waiter who demanded "you tip me now" never got an order from us from that point forward. The Hotel FB has great potential better staff and finished facilities will only make the stay there miles better. As for the resort this place rocks !!!

The Hotel was quite clean, but not spotless. This is a new hotel that was rushed to be finished, it could have been very nice ! But everywhere you see signs of POOR diy.
The hotel food was edible, with a good selection for adults, but seemed very bland. No separate selection for kids.
The location is nice, in the very North of the resort, but I would say a good 20 minute walk to the centre which may not be suitable for the elderly or people with walking difficulties.
The staff in this hotel really let it down, very slow service in the resturant ( usually finished our meal by the time drinks arrived) maids marked many items on mini bar which we hadnt had !!!! and when we went to check out we were told that if we didnt pay the mini bar bill we would not be given our exit visa's !!!! all the receptionist kept saying was our maids do not lie !! (but could they make a mistake?) this wasnt an isolated event because our party had 2 rooms and both mini bar bills had about 14 vodkas charged to them even though one room was occupied by a tee-totle 18 year old and a 7 & 11 year old, who only like whisky (joke) we also had a fault with the wardrobe door which was stuck closed (sliding type) and a tv with no ariel lead which we reported 3 times(once a day) and then gave up.
Entertainment there isnt any. Apart from a tv on the bar.
The pool was nice, but not as big as it seemed on the artists impression and the sun loungers are in very short supply for a hotel of this size.
Very noisy in the rooms mainly caused by the doors in the corridoor which are on automatic close and seem to slam shut the last 6 inches.
To sum up this Hotel is not for me didnt really have any good points apart from being in sunny beach
