Short fabulous break for a family wedding . We were definitely upgraded to a bigger room with a better view. Much appreciated!!! Especially because it wasn't hight season yet . Absolutely clean. Great breakfast with everything anyone could possibly want . Down side is that you pay extra for parking. But as hotel is more then reasonably priced ,can't really complain. Thank you all !! Hope to see you in the future again .

I stayed at Odessos Park with my mum from August 31st to September 7th. The young lady at the front desk was very helpful, however, the room we got sent to at first had not been cleaned yet, so we had to go back to the reception desk and get a room change. The rooms on the fifth floor are modern, nicely furnished, clean, and the balcony is very spacious with 2 added loungers, which we really appreciated as well as the amazing view of the sea, especially during sunrise. An interesting thing about the rooms is that they are unlocked by fingerprint, which comes in handy when you don't want to worry about where your key is all the time. Cleaning service ladies were friendly, thorough. I could unfortunately not say the same about the animation team once the girls left. I am personally used to a very friendly and excited team of animators that make everyone feel welcome at any activity they manage, and the girls (I don't know their names, unfortunately) did a way better job at that. Once they left and they were replaced by two men, I did not want to attend animation activities at all as I didn't feel very welcome (e.g. I went to play table tennis and when I got there, the animator was apparently "impressed" and told me he did not think table tennis was a "women sport". I thought these activities are just for fun, not a championship.). Mini disco for kids started late a couple of times with the animators dancing to themselves and not entertaining the children. Also, the position of the animation podium across the pool from the pool bar is a bit complicated when you wish to get drinks to watch a special show and you need to undergo a long journey just to get a drink. Speaking of the pool bar, the staff working the pool bar smiled at us about once or twice out of the entire week we were staying and had an attitude. The drinks were okay. The pool was great. Clean, big, has a kids section and a slide. We did not visit the relax pool. What we did visit however was the hotel wellness, we decided to get a rose face mask, which comes with a little massage. The massage was not listed in the face mask, so I was a bit startled when the lady started the massage because I didn't expect it. I would recommend informing customers about the whole service before starting it in case they would be uncomfortable with being touched on some body parts. The service itself was nice. Right next to the wellness desk were toilets, that were used mainly by people going from the pool, which meant that the floors were soaking wet and the toilets were smelly. There were also toilets next to the restaurant, which were okay, however, they never had paper towels in them and drying hands with the air dryer took forever. Speaking of the restaurant, at first, we were disappointed. Some of the dishes were very dirty and when I politely asked for cutlery when it was about 20 minutes until the end of lunchtime, I was met with an "oh my god" and rolled eyes from one of the waiters. I understand that we might've been a bit late, however, it was not our fault since we had come back a bit later from a trip with our travel agency and we did not want to inconvenience the poor waiters by needing them to do their job. The dishes were significantly cleaner after a couple of days. There was a variety of foods to choose from, a nice assortment of vegetables, fish and other meats, we were satisfied. Sometimes, the drinks would be really watered down. Moving on, the hotel's layout was unusual for us. We got used to it, but the elevators certainly did not make it easier. Waiting five minutes for an elevator is not pleasant, especially when the elevator arrives full of people and you need to wait some more for another elevator. Two of the three elevators sounded like they were going to break any second. The location of the hotel is nice with a lot of shopping opportunities (and about a million ATMs on the way), several pharmacies, and a COVID testing center nearby. The road to the beach is okay, in the mornings we saw about 3 stray dogs, but they weren't dangerous. To sum up, the hotel has its pros and cons, just like any other, however, we will most likely not be returning, mostly because of the staff.

High-standards, friendly, great value - PERFECT!

Reviewed By BackTrackZilla

The Marina Grand Beach Hotel is very, very good and there is very little anyone could complain about. It is so good it I want to share it with other travellers and out of gratitude to the hotel, for this absolutely superb holiday (11 nights): 1. Everything is SUPER CLEAN AND VERY WELL-KEPT, not just by Bulgarian standards. I have rarely seen 4* hotels this good, let alone in the UK, Germany or Holland. 2. The GREAT STAFF is also very helpful, should anything different be requested. I had no complaints, but a stray comment led to someone running up to make everything perfect. BTW and quite pleasant: Nobody begged for tips or lingered in the hopes of. I chose to give a few Lewa here and there rather than a larger note at once and it was always received with a friendly thanks. These people work HARD to make our luxurious holidays at incredible value and a bit of (financial) gratitude should be given to respect this! 3. My ROOM IS AMAZING: Just like the pics on their website, everything looks like it was renovated yesterday, very stylish and comfortable – and SAFE/SECURE. Nice extras: FREE Wi-Fi and room safe, and the mini-bar fridge is restocked daily with drink packs, water, beer. There's a bathtub with TWO shower heads, so the best of both worlds, whatever you prefer. Very comfy and SPOTLESS bed and other furniture. My bedsheets and towels were changed every day and the room was always very thoroughly cleaned. 4. A NICE MIX OF GUESTS from everywhere, young and older, with and without kids - and honestly, ALL the guests behaved themselves and were not the rowdy, drinking, party-crowd that hotels have to bear with as much as the less wild holidaymakers. This hotel has a VERY FRIENDLY, OPEN ATMOSPHERE! 5. Very fortunately for the other hotel guests, people looking for a disco or partying found it a short distance away, and there was MINIMAL NOISE DISTURBANCE within the hotel. 6. There's a VERY GOOD GYM, with the best equipment I've seen in 4-5* hotels anywhere. 7. I usually don't go for (usually overpriced) massages or treatments, but the SPA has a first-rate ACADEMIC PHYSIOTHERAPIST (Zlatin) and staff who REALLY know what they're doing - and again, at GOOD VALUE. 8. The FOOD: A good variety at the buffets and they even have a pâtisserie for really nice cakes, cookies and typical Bulgarian treats. I only wish I'd brought some chili along - I like it spicier than it is served, but that's just me - And another thing easily fixed. There’s a convenient microwave too. The cooks and waiters were quick, focused … and also good for a bit of a laugh – THANKS! 9. The BAR AND ALL-INCLUSIVE DRINKS: I mostly had wine which was very nice indeed, even sparkling - and I didn't have a single headache from it all stay. Exclusive cocktails are (as always at all-incl.) more the exception, but the VERY QUICK AND FRIENDLY BAR STAFF (Stan, Danscho and Zlatin) keep everyone hydrated and happy, all day till late night. They even had the time (and patience) to teach me some vocabulary so I could order in Bulgarian – and we all had a laugh every time I got it wrong -Tchewdessno (= wonderful) 10. There were a lot of very nice areas to sit and enjoy a drink, the sun (or some shade! ?), a chat.

Most disappointing “ultra “ all inclusive

Reviewed By MagdaG243

Pro : 1. the suite looks very good and the cleaning is proper . The hotel also looks good and is well maintained . 2. The food is good and the restaurant staff is helpful and polite . Con : 1. We started the bad experience with the parking situation . They have like 20-30 parking spaces for hundreds of guests . When we arrived we had to wait for like an hour with the car on the road because we didn’t have where to park . With a correct “tip “ finally we managed to find a spot on the street. For which they charged us 20 leva per day saying it was a parking spot. 2. “Private beach “ . The beach serves not only Vistamar but 2 other hotels . The sun-beds can only facilitate maybe 30-40% of the guests , And I am being kind saying 40% . You can have a spot on a sun bed if you go at 7- 8 maximum in the morning . The first days , when I went to the beach , all of the sun beds were “reserved “ with towels even though the policy of the hotel says you can’t . The beach stuff said they couldn’t touch the personal belongings because they will have problems with the manager . The next day they said they touch them but after 9 am . LOL . No toilet in the beach . You have to go the the pool toilet or hotel reception . 3. Cleanliness on the beach - non existent . 4. Pool - same thing with the sun beds being “ reserved “ with towels , even tough the policy says not to . Anyway , nobody of the staff or manager pays much attention to your complains because the next day is the same thing . Plus the pool is so well designed that after 4-5 is shadowed by the hotel so no sun . If you have a kid you have to move to the beach , if you have where to stay . 5 . Beach bar - the beach bar closes at 5 . 6 . Tip : if you are adults only and you select the concept rooms , they are worth it . They have access on the roof where is an infinity pool and private terrace . Also a private beach with even a toilet on the beach ( the luxury !! ) . If you have kids is a big no . In conclusion : worst “ultra “ all inclusive I have ever been too . Don’t compare with Turkey or something similar because you will be greatly disappointed.

First of all I want to thank the animation team for keeping us all entertained..There is no way you get bored with all the activities like zumba, water gymnastics, water polo, darts and many more. In the evenings there is mini disco for all the children and after that there is an evening entertainment program which can be either a live show, games or a dance party. It was by far the greatest vacation I went to in Bulgaria, all without leaving the hotel. Second, the food is delicious! They have themed dinners, including asian or italian cuisine and very tasty desserts. The staff is very friendly, always ready to help with information. There are hand sanitizers and masks at the restaurant, however not many people keep the mask on for too long (it’s not the hotel’s fault in my opinion, everyone should be responsible for this). I definitely recommend this hotel and I will come back to it everytime I want to go to Bulgaria!

Great time at a very pleasant hotel

Reviewed By db112358

We initially planned to stay at Riviera two weeks, starting at the end of August, but ended up staying for almost a month. Overall we had an excellent time. The views are fantastic, and every room overlooks the glittering pools and beach and the Black Sea, and at night it is very peaceful listening to the waves rolling along the beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially as we got to know them more personally during our stay. The restaurant was a great pleasure, featuring several main courses (generally chicken, sausages, etc.), pasta, a salad bar, a full desert bar, ice cream, etc. Breakfast was not our favorite, and we generally only had coffee or a light breakfast in the morning, but we very much looked forward to lunch and dinner. The spacious swimming pools were great fun, and there is also a sizeable indoor pool for use during inclement weather. Doughnuts and drinks were served poolside, though cocktail selection was limited. The gym is small and gets a bit hot in the sun. The animation (i.e. activities) team was excellent, especially for us since they provided activities and child care for our daughter several hours a day. At night there were also music, dance, and other activities. Room cleaning did not happen every day, but was thorough and friendly and certainly frequent enough. The location is excellent. Riviera has its own beach and forested property, and we walked through the paths to the main Golden Sands beach festivities most days. We look forward to returning, and highly recommend.
