When I drove up, two people came to assist me even opening my trunk and pulling out my suitcase. This was a very pleasant greeting! The food for both dinner and breakfast was fresh and well prepared. There was no shortage of choices and I could have stayed an entire week without trying everything. Truly a superb place.

The location is perfect, the grounds are beautifully landscaped. The food is great and the staff is friendly. The cleaning crew could be more attentive to details, for example wash the cups that have been used and make sure there is a vanity kit in the bathroom. Overall, a great experience!

One of the best Hotels in Bulgaria

Great place on the Bulgarian seaside. We visit every time, when we decide to have a holiday in Bulgaria. From the beginning. Experience on the reception was excellent as always, very welcoming and professional. Makes you feel that extra special. The rooms were lovely. They ofer us an apartment, as a family of three, really very kind of them. And a double room for our friends. Both of them excellent,and with a nice sea views. Good spacious rooms, cleaned regularly through our stay. The restaurant and the food at Helena sands, are just fantastic. Very high level, with a good choice of salads, fish and meat. Have their own beach. You have to go a bit early, as it gets filed very quickly. But once there, lovely clean sand and shallow water. Perfect family holiday . Thank you very much for our stay, and expect us next summer again 😀

Outstanding hotel right on the beach.

Wonderful holiday at Royal Palace Helena Sands. My third visit to the hotel and it was perfect in every way. The Hotel Manager Cvetan was always available to help guests and all the staff were so friendly and efficient. A very beautiful hotel land I will be back again next year.

Excellent Resort and location

Excellent Resort in a great location, on the beach. Own area on beach which was kept very clean and had free sunloungers and umbrellas available for Hotel Guests. In the hotel the cleanliness was at its best and food was very fresh, lots choice, service was great. Staff friendly and helpful. Pool area was lovely, lots sunloungers and fresh towels with outside showers that were both hot and cold. Seperate changing and shower room near pool for use on departure day after checkout.

Hotel is run down

The hotel is very run down. Staff was nice but this hotel is a 2 star on every level. Pool was not heated so nobody would swim. The halls have no ac so boiling. Sunny beach is a fun place but it is a dump. The food is gross except for the fish restaurant that is not part of the deal. That place is great. Buffett is sub par. Anyone who says the food is good is nuts.

Trato del staff horrible, para nada un hotel 5*

Habitacion amplia y con vistas preciosas de la playa. Piscina de un tamaño decente y cerca de la playa. Eso es todo lo bueno que podemos decir del sitio. Trato del staff horrible, el buffet estaba bueno pero el primer dia casi ni cenamos porque les dio por ponerse a recoger casi media hora antes de la hora prevista de fin. Nos sentimos agobiados en todo momento para cenar como patos. A pesar de pagar ampliamente por la habitacion. Las tumbonas balinesas y otras de color rojo no estan incluidas en el precio. Tienes que irte a otras que estan incluidad en la habitacion donde practicamente no hay ni espacio. En el desayuno si te descuidas te retiran el plato mientras comes. El staff no habla casi nada de ingles y la estacion que hace comida a la plancha fue incapaz de hacerle una tortilla simple a mi mujer embarazada. A la salida, dijimos que no usamos nada del minibar y nos dijeron que mandaban a alguien a corroborar si era verdad lo que deciamos (nos dijeron eso a nuestra cara). Para flipar, para nada una experiencia 5*, el staff no vale ni para una pension. Tampoco hay nada en el resort, en el de al lado tenian musica en directo etc. En el nuestro solo karaoke 1 vez a la semana!!! No coincidio con nuestra visita. Hay opciones mejores y mas baratas cerca. Nada recomendable!!

Bel hôtel et bon rapport qualité prix

Très bel hôtel avec des équipes efficaces et sympathiques. Repas variés et très bons Belle piscine et plage privée avec suffisamment de transats. Les matelas de la piscine pourraient être renouvelés en plus épais. Bord de mer animé le soir. Attention aux traductions en français de certains écrits qui ne sont pas exactes. ex attention surface surélevée au lieu de surface humide ou glissante.
