Sol Marina Palace

As someone who travels regularly i'd rate this hotel as average. I think the location saves it but If we're rating the hotel itself there's much to be desired. Pros 1. Good sized rooms with plenty of storage. There were 3 of us in one room and it was adequate sizing. 2. Rooms were also very clean on arrival and had everything needed with cleaning being done well throughout our stay and bottled water offered each clean Aircon was easy to use and worked well! 3. Had the option to eat inside or outside and the staff were quick with clearing tables between meals. 4. Located only a short walk from old town to the left and another short walk to a large beach on the right and if you wanted tranquility a small beach just in front of the hotel. 5. Pharmacy just round the corner as well as a few shops for essentials. 6. A le cart meal was fantastic! Thoroughly enjoyed all of the dishes with a talented musician playing romantic music in the background and beautiful views from the top deck 7. Great gym, with plenty of items to use just need some tlc on the cable machine. 8. Beautiful views surrounding the hotel Cons 1. Probably the most uncomfortable beds I've stayed on, woke up with a sore neck and back, with one member having a very thin mattress on a pullout sofa and had to ask for a second mattress. However they were quick to address the issue. 2. Food- The biggest let down of the holiday. Extremely repetitive and minimal options. On top of the limited options, if you weren't down early some of the food like the salmon wasn't replaced after the trays were empty leaving even less to choose from. The same deserts for 7 days straight and one of the two coffee machines was broken with the other one having issues with some coffee types. Although each night was a different theme, it was the same meats just in different sauce. Pizza most days and I had a Bolognese pasta which was stone cold after waiting 10 minutes for it. We read the food was good here when looking at reviews but it couldn't be any further from what we experienced. Only positive was the meats that were cooked, were cooked well. 2. Roof top pool area - Good luck finding a sunbed after 8am! Signs saying towels will be removed if left unattended but they weren't. Meaning there were days we couldn't get a bed. If we were lucky to get beds, we were burnt to a crisp as there's no umbrellas! 30°c and no way of getting shade unless you went inside. There's no atmosphere, only music above the 10 sunbeds round the pool, up by the others it was very quiet and you were looking at concrete walls and venting on the roofs. 3. Entertainment was poor and only every other night. I recommend going to old town in the evenings! Lots happening, we saw a dance competition too. 4. All inclusive menu for drinks is limited and the main cocktails like Martinis, Pina coladas etc had to be paid for. 5. The lifts take you to every floor where someone pushes a button before you get to your desired destination

The hotel is very clean and well staffed. Food is acceptable as all-inclusive arrangements go; each day has a country's cuisine theme for the evening meal menu but breakfast and lunch have a good selection too. If you don't already know, Bulgarians don't have their food super hot so you might find warm soup or tepid dishes unless you get something straight from their grill. Staff are very friendly and speak far better English than I do Bulgarian. We were in room 120 (see floor map attached) which while comfortable with a nice bathroom and effective AC was immediately above the lobby bar and it's outdoor area on on end and overlooked the lobby atrium at the other end so it wasn't the quietest room at times. I'd recommend trying to get on the odd numbered side of the building which also overlooks the old town; if you can get to the back of any given floor (101 or 102 in that floor plan would be ideal but same applies on floors 2, 3 and 4) then you'd have a quieter time all things considered. That one quibble aside, I'd recommend this adults only hotel and it's older demographic over a stay anywhere in Sunny Beach!

Very clean hotel, Fabulous position close to the old town. Rooms spacious with kettle, tea, coffee replenished daily and a litre bottle of water every day. Food was really good with lots of choice, Drinks for an all inclusive was spot on. You could get a sun bed at any time of day, The views from the sky bar were stunning. Staff at this hotel were friendly and happy to serve you. We had a wonderful time and will definitely return . Loved it. Thank you to you all.

Probably set in the best location in Nessebar this hotel is perfect for an adults only all inclusive holiday. Good food, friendly staff and two lovely bars, and with great views over the beautiful UNESCO city of Nessebar, which is only a short walk away. Highly recommend and we would definitely stay here again if we revisit Nessebar.

First time in Bulgaria and what an amazing experience. The hotel is clean and the staff looks always professional but at the same time friendly. Rooms are spacious and cleaned daily with fresh towels etc Food is amazingly tasty and yummy with plenty of variations on a daily basis. Plenty of deserts and fruit to complete the meal. Two bars again with amazing staff, the SKY Bar is at the top of the hotel with a view to die for. Thank you.

After check in we found out we didn't have a sea view, so we returned to reception and spoke to very helpful manager who verified our booking didn't include sea view . we we're offered upgrade at extra cost and worth every Leva, view over old town is excellent room 411 . Service excellent Good food Very clean As not much going on around hotel possibly a little more entertainment on an evening may be better Had a great time will definitely return Thank you to all staff .
