Detailed Reviews
Although awarded only 4*this hotel largely deserves 5 *,it is one of the cleanest places I have seen, perfectly located at one, very quiet end of Golden Sands, practically on the beach.the management takes anti covid measures seriously, very well equipped with disinfectants, constantly cleaning tables, chairs,mattresses on the sunbeds, elevators, doors etc.
We had a concept room, 529 well worth the extra cost, large,with an amazing sea view, large balcony, daily refilled minibar, cleaning lady extra careful, even received every evening fresh beach towels in our rooms.one thing we did not like the smell of the towels some strong chemicals and also the towels are extremely this and should be replaced.
Beach is large, quiet, had a dedicated space on the beach as well as at the beautiful,perfectly cleaned infinity pool. Indoor pool also very clean, same at sauna and Turkish bath,very large spa area,had daily a very good massage from a professional lady, Tania who was always lovely.
Food was well cooked, lots os choices, meat (lamb,chicken,turkey, beef, pork) fish, lots of vegetables , very good pies in the morning, freshly baked bread, good local beer,wide choice of fresh fruits. The only minus were the average quality of wine and the deserts which were way below average, the hotel must urgently hire a new pastry chef.
Ate several times at the beach bar, very nice pizza and doner kebabs as well as at the a la carte restaurant for dinner the Mediterranean evening was very good the Bulgarian one not so much but we had a very nice local wine Kera Tamara Chardonnay outstanding for 40 leva (20 euros) per bottle..A very well trained waitress Stefana who would be real assest in any high end restaurant and speaking very good English.
Staff very well trained, always smiling, doing their best to help you out.
Bravo to the management and keep the high standard .We definitely will recommend this hotel and already planto return later this year.

Really recommended! We are coming here every summer. And every year the hotel is going better and better. The Best place for one vacation with children. The beach and the water here are very healthy.
The room was clean, and if you need something, there is always someone on the flop to help.
The main restaurant is a little bit messy, but the food is fresh and good cooked.
The bars are good organised and in the lobby bar you can find not only domestic drinks.
The snack bar on the beach is clean, and the pizza there is fantastic. Really tasty!
The A la card restaurant on the beach is my favourite place, the staff is very friendly and helpful. Mitko is the best waiter there and always ready to be helpful.
All pools are ok, the infinity is nice place for afternoon relaxing; if you have small children there is also one baby pool and animation for children after 4 years. The girls there are very friendly (Marty was our favourite)
I was impressed that the whole staff wore masks because of the COVID 19 restrictions even the 40 degrees outside and everywhere you can find disinfection stations.
So… we were satisfied. Nice holiday everyone!

We have stayed here for one week in August, traveling with small children. Although I am personally not a big fan of all inclusive hotels, I was pleasantly surprised.
The room, hotel, restaurant and also beach area get 5 stars in cleanliness. All employees were wearing face masks and they were attentive for guests to obey the rule as well, where required (buffet area - masks and plastic gloves). The restaurant has a terrace facing the see, very lovely.
The restaurant offered a nice variety of food which was tasty and fresh (a good part of the food was prepared there, on spot). Minus here the sweets but maybe this is the Bulgarian cuisine.
The hotel is located to the end of the resort and this is a good thing because it less crowded and you have options to get to the center if you want to.
The drinks were also nice in the beach bar with gin, prosecco, and pretty good wine.
Personnel is polite but they could be nicer.
Overall, I highly recommend it and we will be back for sure.

Stayed 10 days all inclusive during 08/2019, but it's not a real all inclusive.
The hotel is almost situated at the end of the walking street in front of the beach.
The hotel is completely refurbished at the outside as well at the inside.
The rooms are nicely refreshed and new.
But in the room every day there was a horrible sewer smell that came from the bathroom.
It was unbearable!!
We asked several times to do something about it.
Nothing was done and even closing the door was useless.
The hotel has a clear view on the beach even on ground floor.
Because the whole walking street to the center is completely barricaded by shops.
Which makes that when walking you mostly have never a clear view on the beach.
Depending the wind, there is a constant sewer smell when walking in the street.
The whole Golden Sands Area is overbuild with hotels. (check Google Maps)
The hotel proposes parking, but at 10€/day!
While the parking spots are part of the hotel.
So asking money for private spots is ripping of customers.
I took all inclusive for 10 days, but it is still a fake all inclusive.
The beach bar is all inclusive until 18h, afterwards for drinks and snacks you pay for it!!
So if you want a free drink after 18h, you need to enter the hotel and go to the main bar which is across the street.
The roof Infinity pool bar is also very limited in time until 21h30.
There was some kind of sky bar but it was closed and no access.
The breakfast and buffet are good to very good.
All drinks are automated, which makes that some drinks are undrinkable and horrible taste.
The staff mentality is for some not flexible at all.
Example:
I needed a beach towel but the towel service was not open.
The towel service is not open constantly.
So the reception said I had to get one at the Spa center, but the lady of the Spa didn't want to give one.
I said: what do I do??
She said the rules are the rules and I need to get mine at the towel service which only opened a couple of hours later.
In the evening they split with a slide-wall the ground floor main hall/entrance/bar in half for entertainment.
But the part where the entertainment is, is also the bar, so it's very crowdy and you have no place to sit.
You must sit at the other side of the slide-wall.
All by all, never again.

We stayed here for a week.
Everything was great!
Perfect location, right on the beach and the food was amazing!
The indoor heated swimming pool was perefct for us as we had some rainy days and the sea was very cold.
The kids loved it.
We will surely return soon!
It is worth paying extra for a room with a sea view!
Thank you! 🙂

I spent a very enjoyable week in Golden Sands.
Despite Corona the resort was lovely and to my surprise had much to offer.
At the Encanto Beach everything was spotless and all necessary Corona Safe measures were taken and respected by everybody.
I can only say : very much up to the Grifid standards.
As always the staff were more than helpfull but a very special "THANK YOU KATIA" because it's always such a pleasure to see you.
The meal at the a la carte restaurant which you suggested was really something very special.
Also the ladies at the wellness, which is great and very professional, we're most helpfull in sorting out my specific requirements.
Hope you be back in Golden Sands in September.

I stayed at this hotel for a week choosing a special Detox programme. I really enjoyed my time from the moment I arrived till the moment I unfortunately had to leave. Staff truly care about guests and every request is immediately followed up upon. The food is excellent, especially the Locavore R70 Menu which serves only local high-quality products. The location is very beautiful and the beach is very close. Cleanliness cannot be faulted and all hygiene measures are put in place and enforced. The Spa Centre is brand new and treatments are a bliss. Thank you very much, Katya, Tania, Chris and Pavlina, for looking so well after me, I will certainly be back !

We have had a lovely 4 days stay here last spring and we have already booked another stay for this one.
We've had the Concept room, which in my opinion, was worth the extra charge since we got a high floor sea view room, a special roof top a la carte breakfast, free acces for cocktails at the roof top terrace at night, designated acces to the jacuzzi terrace and a separate beach sun beds area with wooden sun beds.
We mainly went for the sauna and spa area which was lovely and not crowded at all.
The main buffet was good enough for a 4 days stay, I cannot say if the courses vary or are repeated over a longer stay, but for us it was varied enough. We also had a la carte dinner at the beach restaurant and I have to say it was great.
The only negative point I would have to mention is that the bed was not a king one and the two separate beds, although placed one next to the other, made sleeping somewhat less than comfortable.
All and all, hoping that the service standards will be maintained, we are looking forward to our return.

We booked a room with "Park view" but when we got to our room we noticed we had a upgrade and had a room with beach & sea view! This started better than we thought, we were welcomed by the manager Nicolai and he made us feel right at home and said "If you have any questions please ask me or the staff" At the reception the girls Selin, Gerigana, Ivon and Yoanna had an answer on every question we asked and their knowledge was excellent. Because my partner is a celiac we were introduced to the restaurant manager Petur and he showed her around the restaurant which food she could and could not eat (everything is nicely written down on little signs above the food, like Vegan, Gluten etc etc...) The hostess Neli and her staff escorted us to our table and already knew my partner could only have gluten free food. Sylvia is a excellent hostess and took care of us and our wishes in the restaurant, we really felt at home here. There were a la carte restaurants in the Hotel and all you had to do is reserve in advance and you could get a table, our Italian dinner was really nice and well presented, like you were in Italy! The Sauna's were good and hot, just what you expect. We can recommend this hotel to everyone, it's at the end of the boulevard so it's not so loud and you can enjoy a good nights sleep.

If you ask me.. It would be kind of cold for beach.. They might keep it open, but I don't think so. They have a pool inside with worm water. Ultra all inclusive means that you get all three meals, some snacks between meals, 24/7 reception bar for drinks, local brands. Also, the minibar is refilled every dag with ons bottle of water, some sodas and some beer. I think they consider the number of persons when they do the refill.
Dear Jane F
The train, which runs along the alley, reaches the center of Golden Sands in about 20 minutes.
If you want to take a bus from Golden Sands to Varna. N: 409/209/9
They reach the city in about an hour.

Dear DayTrip,
you can pay at the reception using your credit card. The cost is 20 BGN per night. The parking place is subject to availability and could not be reserved in advance.

Dear Ivail0,
Thank you for your question!
The hotel is closed during the winter season. We plan to open Grifid MediSPA Encanto Beach on April 1, 2021. During the season we keep the temperature of our indoor pool at a comfortable 29°C. This is warm enough for comfortable swimming and lounging.
