Very happy with our recent 10 days at Melia Sunny beach! The rooms are a little basic, but clean and have everything you need. We were upgraded to a junior suit which was nice. Couldn’t fault the food in the restaurant and the snack bar by the pool is great. All the staff were friendly and attentive.

Amazing hotel

Reviewed By waltzin

This hotel definitely exceeded my expectations . The hotel is immaculately presented and is constantly cleaned . Restaurant has a good selection of food , even for fussy eaters . The snack bar which is open from 9-6 is great for the kids . Never ending ice cream lollies kept them happy . Pools are great and many lifeguards on duty daily . Youngest loved the pirate ship and eldest loved the slides and big pool . George at the pool bar is great . The animation team keep the kids entertained , but their music is too loud around the pool. Evening entertainment is provided by the team. My only complaint is about the entertainment area, which is very steep and dangerous . Rooms are immaculate, large and cleaned daily . Fresh towels and bedding. The hotel is in a good location , near the beach and bars . All staff at the hotel were lovely, friendly and helpful . Please don't trust the negative reviews, this hotel is great and above par of many of the hotels in sunny beach .

Lovely hotel right on the beach!

Reviewed By hannahmR4736DQ

We travelled to the Riu Helios Bay mid may, 2 adults and an 8 year old. First thing we noticed was how friendly the reception staff were, we arrived around 3.30am and were offered food from one of the small restaurants and given a big bottle of water. Room Our room was on the 7th floor which had a view of the football pitch and partial sea view. Balcony was massive! Could have done with (and fit) sun loungers! Room itself was fantastic and clean, huge king size bed plus a small double in a snug area. Shower was totally amazing, room lovely and clean. Fridge was small but freezing (it froze some of our water lol) Needed a kettle, luckily we brought one and then brought up coffee cups, sugar etc from the poolside/restaurant every day. Cleaners came ever day, did a lovely job. Food Drinks were lovely, especially the cocktails (totally recommend the Bulgarian Blue!) Red/white wine nice enough, Rose a bit sweet. Plenty of options poolside including hot drinks and slushies. Was a bit disappointed with poolside snacks, mid morning snacks tended to be the same stuff as breakfast, fruit, cake, cereal & toast. You weren't able to take the plates poolside, so it was either sit inside and eat or take stuff outside in napkins. Afternoon snack bar was mainly pizza & fries, again with cake and fruit. Not enough choice to be honest. Restaurant was nice enough, like someone said on here before food not piping hot. Lots of meat on offer all the time, chicken, pork (always) veal, etc. Pizza, pasta, lots of salads, chips etc. Themed nights were nice particularly the Bulgarian night which the waiting staff dressed in traditional clothes and tables decorated the same. Breakfast the usual options of toast, pastries, cereal, continental, cooked breakfast etc. Not sure why they served hot carrots at breakfast lol They also have a Spanish restaurant (didnt visit) and Asian, both you need to book in advance. Entertainment The animation team were brilliant, lots of games for adults to get involved with such as french bowles and other wooden type games. Kids club was a bit disappointing, my son wanted to join in but the activities seemed to be very young and the children were mainly made up of 4-5 year old girls. Evening entertainment varied from Bingo to bollywood dancing. There was a kids disco (with usual type of dances Superman etc) from 8.30-9. My son loved this but it could have been longer, or maybe more activities for kids somewhere else. Pros & cons Both main & kids pools were absolutely freezing, not sure what they could do to help this but it was really disappointing Beach is steps away and is beautiful! Not much in the area, few shops, park, beach. Don't expect to be walking out to bars, lots of shops etc Overall fantastic hotel, would definitely return for a week of chill. Really clean & friendly. They could do with upgrading pool and food in restaurant/ snack bar though!

Nice clean hotel, Good location

Reviewed By Long55

We're just back from staying here for a week while we were on holiday. The hotel is very clean and the rooms were spotless too. The only tiny fault I would have is that there is only a 4 slice toaster available at breakfast time, which ther can be a long queue for. But other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The staff were very friendly and helpful too.

We enjoyed the pool very much, and we are a family with lots of children so having a good animation team that can give me and husband some free time is a very hard worker. We enjoyed the food very much and we will be back here in August. One thing we dient like is the receptionist staff.

Immaculate Hotel

Reviewed By Paul B

This hotel is very clean and spacious, with good sized accommodation. The gardens and pools are kept to a very high standard, with the outdoor toilet facilities spotless. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The food is good and plentiful, however the waiting staff are far too eager to remove plates etc from your table, even if you have not finished your meal. The beach bar and facilities are also excellent, both in cleanliness and quality. In terms of cleanliness this has to be one of the best hotels I've holidayed in. It speaks of quality the moment you enter the reception area. I would definitely stay in the Riu Helios Paradise again without hesitation.

Clean hotel, inedible food

Reviewed By gailnrich23

This was our second visit to this hotel, the first when it first opened, and we were excited to be going back. The hotel is still clean and well maintained. The team still friendly. The entertainment team were fantastic and my son especially liked Katie. Location is good and it’s easy to get a taxi to Nessebar or Sunny Beach. The thing that let it down this time for us was the food. It was inedible. There was limited choice and the choice available, was burned, dry from standing out too long, cold, chewy or clearly leftovers. We spent a fortune on snacks at the shop or eating out. A shame really, but it did let the hotel down massively and means our second stay will be our last.
