Comment: hotel clean n most staff friendly, apart from the blonde
receptionist, ignorant cow!. Pool area v nice n we met loads of lovely
people, (hi 2 aron n family if u read this!). Beware tho, if u want a
sun lounger b down b4 8am, n if u want a prime spot, b down at 7!
No air con! which is not nice in 40+ degree heat! found out 2 days b4
we left that there is air con in the hotel n if u ask 2 b moved, they
usually will, but u have 2 pay 4 the air con.The hotel did get noisy at
night, depending on ur neighbours. We went half board, (BIG
mistake!) The hotel, and prob all the other hotels, do not cater 4 the
English. If u like cheese, ham, coleslaw and even chocolate biscuits 4
ur breakfast, u will b fine. We had 1 meal n 1 breakfast in the hotel
then ate out every day.
We can recomend a great place, its called Poco Loco, there is
entertainment delivered 2 u by the waiting on staff which is really
good! especially the breakdancers! 2 find the place, go right down party
st till u reach the Admiral hotel then carry on walking paralell past it
n u will c it on ur left, there r 2 Poco Loco's which serve the same
food, but this is the best n its the 1 with the stage inside. Golden
sands itself is great, loads 2 do 4 familys n couples alike, Theres a
mini Effle tower with a resteraunt inside it, a ferris wheel, a mini
train that ferries u around 4 next 2 nothing, quad bikes on the beach,
baby bungee's and plenty more.
On 2 the prostitutes! Well 2 b honest i dont no wot the fuss is about?
Ok they r there but not in ur face, i had 2 look hard 2 spot them and
did'nt c them bothering anybody.
Overall we loved it n will go bak 2 golden sand's, but not necessarily 2
the Pliska.

Comment: Just spent 11 days @ the Pliska, Golden Sands.... ( Sept 2006 )We
had a great time, we went to chill out after a long summer.The pool area
was well looked after by Boris the lifeguard and George the barmen both of
them made the sunbathing a very pleasant exercise.
Tip a) get your coke from the little supermarket up the road MUCH cheaper
than the bar. Also the spirits VERY CHEAP.. Tip b) get your glasses of ICE
from George @ the Bar. BEWARE of the Wasps, they think they have the right
to share your food and suntan lotion...... Breakfast time is interesting a
very wide choice of hams, cheese, bread, rolls. croissants, frozen butter
(not nice) potato salad, fruit, pasteries various, yougurt, cornflakes,
scrambled egg. sausages ( NOT NICE ),tea, coffee, juice, the milk they give
out is powdered and HORRIBLE, the way round it is to try and get your hands
on the creamers but some of the staff guard them with there lives.. The
alternative is "The Full English" @ the Lion Bar 9Levs (Ј3.00) is OK but
there sausages are still Dodgy. Lunch, the restaurant offer a good menu @
very good prices. Dinner, we were on a set menu, which to be fair wasn't
that great but you can still hit the menu which is cheap and the food is
good. Mitkov is the restaurant manager he keeps it very well. Our waiter
was Nayden a funny guy who works day and night he made Dinner time a
pleasure. The resort was very pleasant there are lots of places to eat
outside by the end of the stay they were getting annoying as everywhere you
walked menu's were shoved in your faces !! STAY Away from Angels we got
ripped off there BIG time, Lobster salad, more like Crab stick salad and we
know theres not even Crab in that. Whole experience was upsetting !! Hotel
Rooms, NO kettle Arrrgh. Very basic but if I was there for a lovely room we
would have done a 5 star. Deal Or No Deal in Bulgarian was very funny. PS
take your own wet wipes the toilet paper is not too clever.. Overall, "The
Hotel Pliska" is what it says on the tin a *** hotel. It was very clean and
the staff were great ( except the receptionist )It was fun and enjoyed it
very much. we went in September the weather was lovely and there were NO
kids running around........ Darren & Sally ( England ) The End.....

Comment: I have been to bulgaria twice now same hotel same time of year
(august). And it was sooo nice. the staff there are great micheal and
little micheal and ross who are the outside bar staff are the best. the
rooms are comfortable and basic. i have stayed in a family room and a
single room and both have been great. the hotel is very clean and tidy. the
second time i stayed in the hotel i found a stray cat on my floor (7) and
told micheal the bar staff who phoned another man to come and remove the
cat from the hotel. he was very pleasant and delt with the situation
quickly and conviniently. the thing that shocked me was the amount of
prostitutes on the streets at night. the literally phyiscally were grabbing
men by the arm and pulling them. infact my dad got harrased by one who
decided to pull him to a side and asked him to come with her. there was one
member of staff (female) who flirted with the men and young boys. she even
took a picture of up her skirt for one of them which i thought was abit
prostituteish. i loved the clothes bargins and shops there , we have
decided to go back to hotel pliska next year as we enjoyed it soo much.

Comment: Just arrived back from two weeks at the Pliska. I have to say when
we first arrived we where very happy to have been allocated there
(Allocation on arrival). The pool was lovely, indoor pool with sauna and
massage etc.. and everything was lovely and clean. Our room was basic but
what more do you want. It was our first time in Bulgaria and the first
thing that shocked me was how blatant the prostitutes are. I have been to
many places in the world and I have never seen anything so bad in my whole
life. They where physically groping men in the street. This goes for other
people that I spoke to in the resort who where just as shocked. The sad
thing being they where all very young some as young as 14/15. The strange
thing we noticed straight away about the resort is the groups of middle
aged and older German men. After two day's, and realising how big the sex
trade is in the resort, it did not take a rocket scientist to work out why
all these groups of old german men where there. That's when our problems
started with the Pliska. It is a multi national hotel. But I dont know
whether it was the time of year or what, but it was mostly german (MEN).
Who spent most of the day shouting and singing whilst drunk around the
pool. So much so, that families with children felt uncomfortable and took
them to neighbouring pool's or to the beach. And at night they spent most
of the time shouting and singing whilst drunk as well. This is when we
realised that the pliska was being used as a brothel at night. The
prostitutes are able to pay for a room by the hour or twenty minutes as
most of them used. They walked into reception, paid the fee and a maid is
on hand 24 hours who, then goes in after them and cleans the room. It was
more disturbing than anything else. Because it was mostly the german men
who where going with them. And it would not be wrong to say some of them
would have had granddaughters older than these poor girls. As a result,
this ruined our time at the pliska. We and some others refused to use the
pool (You didnt know what you might have caught from it) and I later found
out. That the waitresses also provided services much cheaper than the
working girls on the streets. All in all Golden Sands would have been nice,
if the prostitutes where controlled. (let's face it they are everywhere in
the world- but if they where kept to properly run establishments it would
have been better). Sunny Beach as a result was more suitable for families
(we hired a car and spent two days and a night there) Even though it is not
advertised that way. There are no prostitutes roaming the streets. I would
certainly recommend the Pliska if you are single, German and over 50 and
looking for cheap sex. We will go back to Bulgaria to Nessebar as the
people are lovely and the countryside is beautiful. But we will never go to
Golden Sands again and would not recommend the pliska to anyone. Also, the
cockroaches in the room made for a few sleepless nights. I hope this does
not put you off Bulgaria. But I think advertising Golden Sands as a family
resort is anything but true, and very unfair to people who ended up in our
hotel through choice rather than being allocated as we where.

Comment: Just arrived back from another 2 weeks at the Pliska in Golden
Sands. What a difference 2 years can make. New hotels built around the
Pliska - very smart - also the Pliska has had an extension built onto the
side so no more walking up 4 flights of stairs. the rooms are still basic
but cleaned every day by our very friendly cleaner. The bar and food staff
were really lovely and they have learnt a lot of English in the last two
years. Plammi (female) and Mitko (male) are the best two. The resort has so
many more shops than before offering a lot more choice - excellent bargains
to be had. The bars and restraunts have all had a face lift and still serve
v v v nice food and the lager although it is local is palatable. One point
- we did go near to the end of the season and the weather changed at night
- it got quite cold near the end of the two weeks once 6pm came. The shops
do reduce a lot of stuff from September so better bargains can be had but
again the weather can be unpredictable. All in all another fab two weeks
have been had - we will go back before they go into the Euro in 2007. We
arrived back on September 10th and friends stayed for another week. They
said the days were sunny and warm but it did get v v cold at night.

Comment: just returned from golden sands ,had a good time there. the hotel
pliska is clean and tidy and all the staff are friendly, if you are going
to book a family room here like we did (i also booked a single 1 too) this
room is one large room with 1 double bed and 1 double sofa bed you are
better booking 2 adjoining rooms instead. the resort it's self is good you
can use any pool in any hotel, we used the ambassador hotel as this is
large and not crowded.on the beach you can hire sun beds and umbrellas very
cheap . for snacks on the beach a burger or kebab and a bottle of pop (fanta
pepsi normal u.k size ) 5 lev (5.4 lev is £2) eating out is cheap at night.
mamma mia's is the place to go . go see alibaba and sinbad 2 funny guys who
will make your meal even more enjoyable.there are 2 sides to the place as
you look at it it's the left hand side.3 course meal for 5 around £45
including drinks. and this is expensive to other places about £25- £30
normally but well worth it.
went to nessebar shopping is cheaper there just shops upon shops. good copy
items nike shox trainers 50 lev ,tops nike ,puma ,f 1 racing, diesel,35 lev.
all in all a very good holiday kids loved it cheap game boy advance games
18-28 lev, ice creams 1 lev you can not go wrong for a cheap holiday .
friendly people who are very helpful and always smiling to say alot of them
are on 1 lev an hour .had a great time. don't take any notice of people who
say its dirt and unwelcoming it's not . The pliska has now got a lift to
floor 4 and another one from 4-9
