Riagor

Strengths: Spacious rooms, cleanliness, free parking, WiFi in the room, TV connected to the internet. Weaknesses: Far from the sea (12-15 minute walk); relatively small pool, no loud music at the pool, no animators, no disco or evening entertainment; the children’s playground is not equipped (our child was looking over the fence at the other kids having fun at the neighboring hotel); you need to bring your own shower gel, soap, and shampoo; the food is tasty but not very varied (breakfast is the same every day), few desserts, and fruit is hit-or-miss. The coffee is good. They don’t offer the traditional 4 PM snack. Sometimes they serve ice cream at noon. Being a small hotel, the staff sometimes seems to rush you to finish eating so they can clear up and be done. It’s very suitable for older people.

This is an excellent family run hotel. The large room we were given had a spacious balcony on the top floor with a great view overlooking the town and the hills beyond, and was kept immaculately clean. Despite the language barrier, we were the only English speakers staying at the hotel at the time, the staff answered all of our enquires and were exceptionally helpful, friendly and attentive. They simply couldn't do enough for us and made us feel very welcome. The food was plentiful and there was a good selection of cooked foods and salads. Shops, restaurants/bars, and Sunny Beach are all close by. I can't praise the hotel and its staff highly enough.

I stay here for 5 nights. It is a 3 star hotel but believe me that is better than more 4 star hotels. Is is very nice, clean . The rooms are very big with a big balcony, they do clean every day and change the lenjery after 3 days. The best thing is the food. You have many different types of food to choose from and very tastefull. Who said that he doesn t have what to eat here or the food is awfull it means that he have bad intention or is a stupid . The distance to the beach is aprox. 500 metres but it isn t a problem that. This hotel in one world is : Excellent . The best for your need. The staff is very friendly. They don t speak very well english but you can understand with them and if you have one problem they do anything to help you. Go to Riagor and you don t regret

We arrived at the hotel mid-day and booked through booking.com. We spend £295 for 7 nights all inclusive for 2 which is very reasonably priced. The hotel itself is smaller than those we had been in around Sunny Beach before and it was fairly quiet for the first 3 days of our holiday with around 10 guests at most. However after the third day there was more people arrive. The food I will admit was not the best, but it was adequate; with a variety of salad stuff, a fish and meat dish as well as vegetables and chips/potatoes. The all inclusive drinks were standard vodka and other spirits and a green spirit type which I did not like myself. Although the juice available in the restaurant at meal times was very nice. There wasn't an abundance of sweet treats but unless your that way inclined it wouldn't be an issue. Now the bad things; the staff were not the most friendliest and it felt like they could not be bothered to serve or clean up and like we were a burden. The drinks were served from a shed next to the pool which looked quite shady and not at all inviting. We ended up buying a bottle of peach schnapps to use from a local shop for around £5 which wasn't too bad! The cleaners were okay, however more often that most they just sorted the sheets rather than changed them. On one occasion, we had put a do not disturb sign on the door, however I saw the cleaners in our room window from the pool. When my partner went upstairs to confront them, they were rude. When he went to reception, the receptionist called the cleaners over who then preceded to speak in a foreign language and laugh. The whole incident left us feeling very uncomfortable and embarrassed. The pool is very cold, which is standard for Bulgaria but it was also not the cleanest as you could see bugs and scum upon the surface. Furthermore there was absolutely no entertainment at all and we travelled in the middle of June! Because of this we spent most nights along the seafront. Overall this hotel would suit you for exploring Sunny Beach as the bus is just a 2 minute walk from the hotel (past the boomerang hotel), or you can walk 10-15 minutes to the beach or around 30 minutes to the strip, the choice is yours. This hotel however would not suit those who just want to spend some time within a hotel relaxing, drinking and being entertained.
