Rose Village Aparthotel

Please be aware that this apartment complex is room only no bar restaurant or entertainment as stated it is very clean but no facilities at all apart from internet and pools

Lovely staff, very clean, rooms extremely clean, could not fault this complex at all. We had a great stay here.

We visited this hotel on an all inclusive basis for 1 week myself my husband and our three children aged 15,12 and 8. We Arrived early hours around 3am on Tuesday morning check in was easy the guy on reception was please t enough. The room is old fashioned but ok, we had two bathrooms which was a nice surprise but the sofa bed was awful, stained and very uncomfortable. The Cleaners come daily and change the sheets and towels every 4 days if you want them more frequent there’s a charge. The location is nice 5 minute walk to the beach and there’s a shop under the hotel. Now That’s the good things about the hotel. The food well let’s say they do not cater for English people. It states pizza, burgers nuggets etc (well there wasn’t any of this) breakfast 8-10 included toast, boiled eggs, 2 types of cereal some ham and cheese and raw bacon! Lunch no idea it wasn’t labelled and it was like a free for all I would queue to get food for myself and the kids and people would barge past and i had to tell a Russian man off for picking food up with his fingers! There was chips everyday but it was as though they put the chips that weren’t eaten at lunch back out at tea time. There was spaghetti pasta Every day too but no sauce to go with it, Lunch 12-2 again awful. They cater more for Russians salad bar is ok then they have meat and veg it’s floating in grease, apparently we found out there was rabbit with its liver left inside for one lunch time. Snack is 4-5 they open a pack of biscuits on a tray and some bread rolls then the Evening meal 6:30-8 again another free for all and awful meal. Then For the drinks! There’s a big fella who works behind the bar and I’ve never met Anyone so rude in all my life. My kids went to the bar and he said “what” no manners here at all! Coke is ok like aldis own the orange Fanta awful watered down doesn’t taste like orange, when you ask for lemonade you get something that looks like cloudy lemonade and tastes like grapefruit. If you want sprite, water or proper Coke you have to pay extra! The ice cream for kids is ok. The pool was ok however the steps in the middle are still broken and have now been taped up (apparently someone else wrote a review and mentioned these over a year ago) They don’t do normal teabags at all. You are Not allowed to take drinks from the bar to your room (so my kids couldn’t have their pop) they don’t do cocktails (which is fine because I don’t drink but just so others know). I have spoke to the rep who wasn’t overly helpful im more upset about the fact it wasn’t particularly cheap and I always choose all inclusive with the kids because it’s easier however we’ve had to spend our money on eating out everyday because the food was terrible and im genuinely very easy going but I want English families to not waste their money on booking here. I also do t think it’s that cheap when you go out. I have been to Bulgaria (golden sands before but it was 20 years ago so I was really looking forward to bringing my kids here) but I’ll stick to Spain and Canary Islands in the future. We did however have one great day which was the pirate water park about 15 minute walk from the hotel it was 70 lev each so about £35 each from 10am till 7pm and food was included they did lovely burgers and nice food for my husband who’s a vegetarian. Also don’t use the bus! Their dangerous people barge on again when your front of the queue. We needed up getting a taxi to sunny beach flower street and pod 20 lev negotiate your price before hand.

Avoid this like the plague. Asked for ground floor as disabled - we were put in 6th floor. Food was diabolical, staff rude and injuries sustained due to leaking shower and broken pool areas. Tried complaining too and Balkan holidays AND ABTA wiped their hands of us. Still reeling from the worst holiday EVER

We don’t often do reviews but thought we needed to with the Rose Village in the Nessebar area of Sunny Beach. We booked the Rose Village mainly on price, the fact it was all inclusive (a must with kids), and that the majority of the reviews were on the positive side. After booking we started to notice a few negative comments which worried us a little before arriving, we needn’t have worried. The Rose Village isn’t a wow hotel, it’s an ‘is what it is’ place. It is however clean, the staff are great (never came across any who were rude), the food was of a good standard and a good choice, the inclusive drinks weren’t branded but were drinkable (and no small measures). A number of people whinged about the food every meal time, all British unfortunately. Yes, there were chips and spaghetti every lunch and evening meal, but this was only a small part of a decent selection, and it was the whinging families kids that filled their plates with chips, with tomato sauce anyway. In addition to the chips and spaghetti there was always another potato or rice side, and there was always four/five other dishes in the hot area, two or three of a Bulgarian nature, and one or two like burger or nuggets. There was always a good choice of salads, cheeses and fruits, and also little cakes, pastries and ice creams. Breakfast was decent too, always hot choice of bacon, beans, scrambled egg, plus different sausages, pastry and pancakes. Variety of bread for the self-toaster and fruit, plus honey and choc spreads. We had no complaints but we did keep away from chicken just in case and stuck to pork and veal. We think the complainers who thought that buying in a pizza every night over the all-inclusive should probably stick to Blackpool! The AI drink selection consisted of beer, all wines, vodka, white and red rum plus a couple of Bulgarian drinks that could also be mixed to make other drinks. All soft drinks and coffee to. Yes, this did stop at 9.30pm. We had ‘penthouse’ twin bedroom apartment which was top floor (ovs) and had plenty of space, kitchen with fridge and a tv, aircon in each bedroom, wifi and iron. It wasn’t flash, but it was functional and cleaned at least every other day. The second bedroom could have benefited from a wardrobe. Pool area was cleaned and tidied every morning, some of the pool mosaic tiles were missing, and strangely no grout below the waterline, but nothing that would show up negatively when posting your photos online. Oh, and yes, seagulls do wake you up early in the morning. Sunny Beach needs to have a seagull cull. To sum up, its a good hotel for the price. If you want bigger AI selection pay a little more and go to Antalya. We couldn't complain for what we paid and great to fly from Teesside Airport.

Management and all the staff were very helpful, my room wasn't big enough for 2 adults and 2 14 year old boys so as soon as a 2 bedroom room came up we got moved, we had a late flight and was able to keep a room from a fee, we always found plenty to eat at all meal times, only negatives nothing for children to do need to have a games room and music round the pool. Location was brilliant.
