Categories

Cleanliness
9.1
Generally reported as very clean (multiple guests note 'exceptionally clean'), but there are specific negatives: carpet stains in hallways and in-room stains, some unpleasant room smell and occasional flickering bulbs. Rating reflects overall high cleanliness with a few localized issues.
Service
9.7
Mixed signals: several guests praise friendly, helpful reception staff (free upgrade, polite interactions) and smiling personnel; however, there are notable negative incidents in the Aquahouse/wellness area and some distant reception behaviour. Rating is high because positives were frequent and impactful, but reduced slightly for the unpleasant spa/service encounters.
Location
10
Consistently praised: sea views, quick access to the beach, good proximity to Varna (≈15 min), nearby restaurants. Location is a standout strength.
Room Quality
10
Rooms, balconies with sea views, minibars and bathrooms are highly regarded; guests describe rooms as clean, comfortable and well appointed. Minor issues (e.g., a few bulbs) do not detract from an excellent room experience.
Amenities
9.9
Strong amenities: heated pools, well-maintained garden and relaxation areas, spa/therme facilities. One heated outdoor pool was reported out of service and there were service problems in the Aquahouse, so rating is just below perfect.
Value for Money
9.7
High perceived value: outstanding breakfast (noted as among the best in Europe), quality facilities and rooms. Slight deductions for paid extras (drinks at the bar, parking fee) and occasional service lapses.
Food and Beverage
10
Very strong: excellent restaurants (notably Monti) and exceptional breakfast repeatedly mentioned. Food and beverage offerings are a clear highlight.
Overall Experience
10
Most reviews describe an excellent 5-star experience: beautiful design, great amenities, superb breakfast and views. Isolated negative service encounters (mainly at the Aquahouse) slightly affect some stays but do not outweigh the overwhelmingly positive overall impressions.

Relaxed
Pros:

Location and restaurant villa chinka en Monty

Cons:

Airconditioning not very comfortable. This does not dehumidify. Leakage at the shower head. The shower door does not seal properly, causing the floor to always be wet. This results in significant rising damp and damage at the bottom of the bathroom door frame. No tissues available. No hair conditioner available. Cabinet doors do not close properly. Very annoying. Pillows of very poor quality. A separate foldable luggage rack would be handy. Too few shaded spots for the sunbeds by the pool

Климатикът не е много удобен. Не обезвлажнява. Теч от душовата глава. Вратата на душа не се уплътнява добре, което води до постоянно мокър под. Това води до значително покачване на влага и повреди в долната част на рамката на вратата на банята. Няма налични кърпички. Няма наличен балсам за коса. Вратките на шкафовете не се затварят правилно. Много досадно. Възглавници с много лошо качество. Отделна сгъваема поставка за багаж би била полезна. няколко сенчести места за шезлонгите край басейна.

Lovely hotel
Pros:

We loved everything. To mention a few things:

We loved the staff, especially the cleaning staff on our floor and the lovely staff from the restaurant area

I appreciate that the fruit and vegetables had a good taste, not the cheapest versions

The beach was lovely and clean, the pool as well.

We received a travel cot it eas clean and looked new

The garden and surrounding area is well maintained, everything was great.

Cons:

We loved everything. If possible maybe the exterior playground for small children could be improved

Wonderful hotel and staff
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay! First of all, the staff were incredibly kind and helpful, both in our communication before arrival and throughout our stay. They even allowed us to check in earlier than scheduled, which we really appreciated. Everyone was welcoming, professional, and provided excellent service.

The rooms were beautiful, clean, and the beds were very comfortable. One of the biggest advantages of this hotel is the direct access to the thermal baths just across the street, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

The breakfast was excellent, with a great selection of fresh and delicious food. In the evening, there was great live music that created a lovely atmosphere.

We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

Pros:

Локация, чистота, храна, кътове за релакс, услуги, обслужване.

Cons:

Паркингът би следвало да е безплатен. Несериозно е.

Pros:

The hotel—especially the exterior and the lobby—is clearly of high quality.
The cleanliness is also excellent, and the food goes above and beyond “very good,” thanks to the chefs who prepare a variety of exceptional dishes.

Cons:

The hotel spa's hours could easily be extended—starting an hour earlier and staying open until at least 9:00 p.m.!

At breakfast, the low-quality juice dispensers don't fit in with the "ambiance." It seems like the strangest choice for a restaurant of this caliber.
