Song by Michele on 18 Aug 2008, 19:58 I know the one you mean..they have used the same song for a number of years but I have never managed to find out who it is by! My girls loved it as well....hope you find out!
|
Animation Tean by Simon Walker on 18 Aug 2008, 14:33 Does anybody know what the song was that they played in the animation hall every night (my 6 year old daughter loved it)- sounded like shakira but cannot find on ITunes
|
Elenite Holiday Village by Michelle on 11 Aug 2008, 00:42 See u there

Michelle by Shaz on 09 Aug 2008, 03:30 Hi Michelle
No we fly out from belfast - 11th august 6.40pm flight so dont know what time we arrive think it is late what about yourselves? What age are the kids, my daughter gemma is 10. First round is on my better half lol
Shaz
|
Elenite Holiday Village by Michelle on 09 Aug 2008, 02:01 Shaz will meet up for a drink.
Are you flying from gatwick
|
Villas by Michele on 08 Aug 2008, 17:38 Safety deposit boxes - there is no deposit , you just hand back the key when you check out.
The bar in the coffee shop closes at 10.00pm....we used to line up the drinks to take back to the room with us. The bars in the night club and reception area are open until 12.00
There is no childrens entertainment around the pool for the villas....This seems to happen around the pool at the Royal Park going by the loud shouting of 'oggy oggy!!' as I walked past on the way to the water park. The villas pool is used for water aerobics at 3pm followed by water polo. There are various kids clubs depending who you have travelled with. First Choice seem to be based more at the Royal Park and they hold a kids disco at 8pm in the ampitheatre (near water park and mini golf. For boys there seems to be a permanent game of football on the beach which anyone can join in. Hope I have answered all your questions!
Regards

safety deposit boxes by Shaz on 08 Aug 2008, 03:40 H michele
in spain you pay for the safety deposit boxes but you get your deposit back - does this happen in bulgaria?? also does the bars shut at 10.30 or do they stay open later as my partner doesnt like the thought of being home at 11 lol - michelle we will have to meet up for a drink when do u go
shaz
|
Elenite Holiday Village by Michelle on 08 Aug 2008, 01:40 Hi Michele do they have kids entertainment round the swimming pool at the village
|
Villas by MIchele on 08 Aug 2008, 00:22 Don't worry about asking. There are safety deposit boxes it cost about 100 lev for the 2 weeks.
The hotels have a little bit more freedom with regards to using the pools but thats all.....each hotel can use their own pool and that belonging to the villas but not each others. Those that I spoke to felt that the villas had the best main restaurant with regards to choice.
Personally, I have always prefered the villas as I don't like being in a multi storied building particularly with regards to the balcony and children! I also feel that the noise will be higher in the hotels with doors slamming in the corridors.
The villas have its own pool....a large rectangular one next to the coffee shop and near the ice creams!. The pools at the hotels look nice but I know that the one at the Royal Park gets very buisy (people struggling to get a lounger) and also noisy....its where first choice do constant entertainment such as bingo and silly games...not my thing ....I prefer peace and quiet without the fear of being thrown into the pool!!!!!
|
villas by Shaz on 07 Aug 2008, 21:41 Hi Michele
Sorry being a nuisance now, what about safety deposit box are they available and how much are they?? I take it the villas have their own pool if we are not allowed to use the hotel pools, maybe I should have booked the hotel instead of the villas sounds like they are allowed more freedom????
|
Villas by Michele on 07 Aug 2008, 20:43 The villas all have a small fridge which will be stocked with 2 bottles of water and a choclate bar! Rooms are an adequate size andhave either bath with overhead shower attachement or a proper shower cubicle.
For those staying in the villas free drinks are available in the coffee shop and bar in reception, bar in animation hall and nightclub. Villas are not able to use the main pools of the Royal Bay or Royal Park and are not able to use their bars. (They however can use the Villas!) There is a large beach/cocktail bar which is payable to everyone.
Entrance to the waterpark is free - if you need a sunbed they are 5 lev per day and the bar is payable in the waterpark.
There are small supermarkets available throughout the resort selling sweets, crisps, sun creams etc...
I have mentioned in previous posts that the electricity can sometimes be a bit erractic (we had 2 power cuts this time during the afternoon for about 2 hours)...this did not effect us at all but it was a little dark going to the toilets as they have no windows....suggest taking a small torch just in case.
When we there last week there were quite a few wasps around...they did not sting any of us but I carried sting relief with me just in case.
This resort seems to always receive really mixed reviews...I think you either love it or hate it. I love it here as I have 2 young children who only want to swim all day....the beach is lovely with plenty of sun loungers. The waterpark is a great feature for a couple of hours. I also like the fact that everything seems to be relatively quiet at 10.30pm and you can enjoy a drink on the balcony and listen to the lapping of the sea!
Hope this helps ...if you can think of anything else you need to know...just post a comment!
|
villas by Shaz on 07 Aug 2008, 00:45 Hi Michele
We are staying at the villas, are they good? Is there a fridge in the villas and does the all inclusive cover us for everywhere in the village I heard it doesnt cover all the bars? Any other advice you can give would be appreciated we go on Monday evening cant wait
|
Elenite Villas by Michele on 06 Aug 2008, 19:12 Hello....we have just returned from a third visit to Elenite and can honestly say that each time we go it just gets better. The Villas are spacious and clean....we were very lucky and had one right at the front by the sea. The food improves each year...there is much more variety suitable for children, fresh pancakes each morning. Snacks are more widely available..hot dogs from beach bar, toasted sandwiches (from about 11.30am to 1.30pm) at the coffee shop, chicken kebabs available from the roof terrace at reception level (would recommend these!) and pizza from the BBQ restaurant near the Royal park.
The weather at the moment is great....not humid but very warm. We had a few cloudy days but still warm enough to swim or make sandcastles!
If anyone has any questions I am happy to answer them.
Regards

|
villa query by Jackie on 18 Jul 2008, 18:17 Hi everyone. I'm going to Elenite on 11th August (9 of us in total) and if people who have been before can tell me if there is a fridge in the villas? I can't wait.
|
Rooms by Louise on 17 Jul 2008, 00:19 Hi Dave, Thanks for that. It's the appartments we are going to and the rooms on the Website look nice enough indeed. We've just heard that my Mother in law's friend was at the resort earlier this year with her husband and Grandson, and she has just booked for a familly group of 9 to go next year, so it has her seal of approval too. Enjoy your holiday when it comes.
|
hotel rooms by dave on 15 Jul 2008, 19:17 hi louise we have stayed in the holiday village so i cant comment on the rooms in the hotels but they seem quite good from walking round the shopping center under one of them.
the village rooms are basic but they are adequate for your needs bed etc ample storage the pictures on the site are a true representation of the complex.
every resort has its good and bad bits but there are more good than bad
anyway not long off now 11th aug hope you all have a good time!!!!!
|
Villas by Louise on 15 Jul 2008, 01:47 Hi Michelle, thanks for the info on the mozzies. I normally go with repellant anyway, just got a bit concerned when I read a comment on another site which said they were really bad. Also since you have been before can you tel me what the rooms are like. I have seen images on Balkan holidays website which looks a bit run down when compared to the interior shown on the Victoria group website mentioned by Dave on 25 May 2008. We will be going anyway, but dont want to have unrealistic expectations before we go. Not that we intend spending that much ime in our rooms anyway. Any information from anyone who has been would be much appreciated.

Elenite by Sharon on 23 May 2008, 02:43 Hi Dave
Just what I wanted to hear another positive review!! Just one thing is there anything in walking distance or is it completely cut off as my partner likes to walk on holiday and dont know if he will like being in the middle of nowhere as such lol if you have any pics would be great to see them email addy is norash1505@yahoo.com
|
were on our way back by dave on 22 May 2008, 23:07 well to all the people who jave slated the elenites first let me say you must be barkingmad.
i first was dragged to the resort kicking and screaming by my wife three years ago after she went on her own the previous year.
being a man i was determined not to like it( i was wrong)
the food was nice the locals and staff will bend over backwards to help you!
the animation team go well beyond the call of duty making sure you enjoy your holiday.
as a result we have made this resort a second home.
if you like hustle and bustle go to spain but if you want a holiday were you can look back and say well that was great then this place is for you.
its only 10 mins away from sunny (blackpool) beach.
and only 5 mins walk from an equetrian center just outside the complex.
to put it in a nutshell its one of the greatest holiday resorts i have been to and we as a family are looking forward to returning in august for another 2 weeks (bring on the good times)
if anyone wants any further information you can email me on heart_soul@ntlworld.com
to sign off you can never please everyone all of the time but at least at this resort the locals will try!!!!
|
Elenite by MIchele on 20 May 2008, 00:56 Trish...I fully understand your situation.,....it is worrying enough taking children abroad who have no medical conditions. I agree you are better going to a country with a better infrstructure such as Cyprus...I would do the same! The first time I went I was like everyoine else reading all the comments and worrying - luckily we had a fantastic time!
If you notice though most of the negative comments are from those who stayed at the Royal Park which personally would be my idea of hell as I don't do high rise hotels!!! I prefer to have my feet nearer the ground. If anyone has any questions I am more than happy to help!

bulgaria feedback by Nicky on 19 May 2008, 22:56 We have booked to go to Bulgaria for the first time on 8th June, its been helpful reading the web messages. I know there are some good and some bad comments however, good to have info relating to important things to pack. One thing on my list is a torch which I would not have thought of. We will just make the most of it while we are there, as long as the weather is good and we can eat and drink enough we will be happy. Nicky
|
Elenite Holiday Village by Sharon on 19 May 2008, 01:54 Totally understand Trish, Im just gonna take my chances as I have never read a good report about a hotel Im going to lol. but this year is an exception in that I am gonna bring a torch if the worst happens I will just not go to Bulgaria again - any1 else going same time as myself (11th aug) drop me a line norash1505@yahoo.com maybe we can meet up
|
Holiday by Trish on 19 May 2008, 00:35 Hi Guys I wasn't being fussy, even he head o ftourism in Bulgaria is worried that they can't cope this year with the amount of visitors arriving. I have 3 sons with a medical condition and they need intravenous injections, i can't really do that with no power, there was a 3 da power cut last week which ended up in everything closing - Bulgaria are currently selling 60% of their power to other countries and can only cope with 15,000 tourists not 40,000 blasting air con. Cosmos were totally understanding, I have been to cyprus before and know of nearest hospitals etc, my problem was I shouldn't of booked a holiday in eastern europe with the boys condition. Im sure everyone will have a wonderful time and I think the resort looks lovely, maybe in a few years when the infastructure is sorted we will head to Bulgaria. Have a great holiday everyone.
|
Elenite Village by Michele on 16 May 2008, 16:40 It is a shame that Trish felt she had to change her holiday. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and everyone's expereiences are different. I can imagine that if you are unfortunate to fall ill on holiday that it can put you off that destination....but it can happen anywhere in the world. The best is to take precautions. I would advise to take a torch as power cuts do happen....I have had one each time I have been lasting a couple of hours...it by no way affected my holiday...just a bit dark going to the toilet!. The first time I did not have a torch but the next time I took two wind up torches and a couple of tea lights just in case! It is worth noting that the nearest pharmacy is in Sunny Beach so it is worth while taking a few things with you. I found last year that ibrofen, piriton (in case of heat rash!), calpol, dyrolyte, immodium, plasters, antiseptic useful. Another useful tip that I read in a magazine is to take pro-biotic (actimel type) for a few weeks before travelling as this helps against holiday tummy (new place, new food etc...) and we all found that this helped.
We have been twice and had a brilliant time and are going again on the 20th July....Can't wait!!!!!
|
Elenite Holiday Village by Michelle on 16 May 2008, 03:43 Hi Sharon if trish is right and it is crap we have to make it not crap lol (some people are so fussy )Roll on august the 11th
|
Elenite Holiday Village by Sharon on 15 May 2008, 01:23 Sorry to hear that Trish, hears hoping that all the stories are false lol (else im in for the holiday from hell)
|
Elenite holiday village by Trish on 10 May 2008, 21:48 Hi Everyone - well ive had 2 phone calls today from family regarding an article in the Telegraph about the infastructure of Bulgaria, the power cuts, the sewage problem...so im afraid i have bottled it and rang cosmos they told me to find another holiday and they would move my money to the new holiday...i struggled to find somewhere for 5 of us, but we eventually got Cyprus...so i feel a lot more chilled out now...I hope everyone has a lovely time in Bulgaria and that all the stories aren't true.
|
Answers for Denise by Michele on 03 May 2008, 22:57 Hi Denise....I will try to answer a few of your questions. If you are staying the the villas you are not allowed to use the facilities at any of the hotels....however there is a lovely swimming pool with a bar/coffee shop. At the centre of the village (near the main restaurant for the Villas) there is a small supermarket selling chocolate,crisps, sweets cigarettes, spirits, toiletries etc.... There is also similare supermarkets by the reception for the villas and in the other hotels.
Nessebar is lovely to visit....the buildings are very old and lots of shops selling souveniers. It is nice for a day out and easily got to by boat or by mini bus. We always went by bus as sometimes the boat had trouble docking if the sea was a bit rough and would have to turn back!
Can't advise you much about Sunny Beach as we only went once and hated it! It is really buisy and the shops selling lots of rubbish! After the relaxing atmosphere of Elenite we could not keep up with the pace of life!!!
The waterpark is free to use but if you want a sunbed or parasol then you will need to pay 5levs each. You also need to pay for your drinks. As my children are quite young we only went for an hour a day so it never really bothered us!
I hope I answered all your questions... regards Michele
|
Villas by MIchele on 03 May 2008, 22:44 I find it a shame that people can be so negative about Elenite. I have been there with my family for the last 2 years and both times we have had a fantastic time....so good in fact that we are going again this year. Unadveturess I know but with 2 small children who are only intersted in swimming and making sandcastles there is no point in paying a fortune to go anywhere else when Elenite meets all our needs at such a reasonable price!
If anyone has any questions I am more than happy to help!
|
Elenite Holiday Village by Trish on 27 Apr 2008, 23:49 Hi Dennise, that has put my mind at rest a bit, did you have a walk around the village? I am keen to know if there are any shops on the village to by alcohol and ciggies and for the lads to buy sweets and stuff.? I don't know how much Lev to take, we are there for 2 weeks, 5 of us, would we spend much. Did you go on any trips, we are keen to head to Nessebar ive heard its supposed to be lovely. Are the guest from the village allowed to use the waterpark and facilites at the Royal Park? Sorry to bombard you with questions but i think a few of us on this site are wanting as much info as possilbe.
|
Hotel Royal Park by Dennise on 27 Apr 2008, 12:12 Going again! Hi I travelled to hotel Royal PARK at Elenite last Aug. I posted a review which you can look back at if interested. We were terrified by reviews before leaving and astounded by the moaners on our departure!! All I can say is we are going again!! We had a very rlaxing holiday and my 14 year old daughter loved the free water park and on tap ice cream!! I would be happy to resond to any emails if I can help allay any fears but my advice is.... Stop looking at this site it nearly wrecked my holiday,..Take sensible precautions and if you want a holiday of burgers and chips go to Spain xx

Elenite by Sharon on 12 Apr 2008, 03:43 Hi Trish
Yeah we are flying out 11th aug dont know if you will still be there - my email addy is norash1505@yahoo.com give me an email and we will maybe meet up for a drink lol. We have been all inclusive couple of times and must admit I do prefer it
|
Elenite Holiday Village by Trish on 06 Apr 2008, 23:57 Hi Sharon, we are due to fly out on 4th August for 2 weeks from Manchester with Cosmos. I'm still pretty worried about going, we have never been all inclusive before but I did witness it once when cosmos dumped us on a all inclusive complex in fuerteventura a few years ago. Thats another story. I try to ignore reviews and had read some really good ones when i decided to book last september, then i found this sight which unnerved me a bit. Im just concerned that with 3 picky sons that there is nowhere else to feed them if the restaurants look risky!! It just sounds like last year the problems were in August which is bound to be the busiest time of the year. I was thinking of contacting cosmos to see if it is possible to change the holiday but don't know where i would stand?. Anyway it looks like we will be going, i will just have to take plenty of pot noodles and a travel kettle lol, just in case - and plenty of stomach tablets. The place does look lovely and im sure my boys will really enjoy it, so will probably see you there. Trish

Elenite Holiday Village by Sharon on 06 Apr 2008, 04:18 Hi Michelle
you are arriving the same time as myself what age are the kids my daughter is 10 maybe we will see you there. I tend not to worry about the reviews as every place Ive been to has had bad reviews but when I got there is has always been fine - email me and maybe we can set each other at ease Ive found some excellent pics
|
Elenite Holiday Village by Michelle on 31 Mar 2008, 01:57 Hi, me my husband plus two children are going on the 11th August, little bit worried about the previous comment because have not heard anything like that ( e-coli and the food) Looked at thr trip advisor web site and had heard nothing there.
|
Elenite Holiday Village by Sharon on 29 Mar 2008, 02:34 Hi Trish
We are going to elenite august this year with our 10yr old daughter. When do you go? We are there 1st 2 weeks, we might see you there lol. Ive been the same as yourself pretty nervous after reading some reviews.
|
Elenite Holiday Village by Trish on 11 Feb 2008, 10:19 Hi - im really worried about reading some of the comments especially from the Royal Park - we are staying in the Village with 3 teens ranging from 12 - 16 is there plenty for them to do? Has anyone else experienced food poisoning, e-coli, severe tummy upsets - I don't want to pay the balance for my holiday if this is what we are getting for our £3,500 - i would rather loose the deposit. Are there other places to eat that aren't part of the all - inclusive i.e better food, are there any shops where we can buy beer, wine, cigarettes in Elenite,if the beer runs out at 10.30 everynight - we will need supplies just in case... Please advise me we are going in August this year. I hate reading reviews as I know us brithish are moaners - but some of the reports from last August are pretty scary. Cheers
|
nice place by ian oldfield on 12 Jan 2008, 04:46 weather can be very hot in june, july, august and september, it can be cold too, so just in case, take a jumper with you, experience i had was one day it can be 30'c then the next day it could be something like 6-10'c, but mostly between these months are good....food very good, proberly as good or even better than other countries. beware of the gypsies, they play havock on the country...pakos bar in elenite, privalage complex, brilliant, fair price and fair food and a lovely welcome from mr pako...
|
Weather in September / October by Elaine on 17 Sep 2007, 22:22 We're off to The Elenite Village at the end of the month - anyone know what we should pack - not sure what the temp. is at this time of year and is this place as bad as many have reported?
|

air con by joanne jackson on 27 Jul 2007, 09:06 yes their is air con in the villas, it cuts off when you leave the room or open the verandah, the bellboy told us to take the remote control and point it through the verandah window to start it again as we were on the ground floor, don't know if it works as we didn't bother, we did use the air con all the time we were in the room though as it was very hot. great place i am sure you will enjoy
|

elenite holiday village by joanne jackson on 23 Jul 2007, 08:54 my son went to the bulgarian animation team and i could not fault them atall, british reps i can't comment on except for the lively crowd at the pool tables playing killer pool, very noisy, but older kids. the girls in the animation team (bulgarian) also do the shows at night.

reps by alan greig on 20 Jul 2007, 18:31 bulgarian anamation team or the british reps who wins plz reply
|
ELENITE HOLIDAY VILLAGE by JOANNE JACKSON on 19 Jul 2007, 10:04 we have just returned from 2 weeks at elenite holiday village and could not have asked for a better holiday, in fact we have already booked to return next year. don't bother with the reports that say this place is dreadful, the food was great always something 2 eat chicken, beef, pork, 2 soups every day, salads, cakes seperate childrens buffet. the entertainment is in the amination hall situated on the front, starts at 8am with kids disco, bingo at 9 and shows at 9.30pm all the shows were fantastic. there is a kids club from 10am till 12 noon and then again from 3pm till 5pm and the girls that run the club are fantastic with the kids. the place is spotless always being cleaned, the staff are great (with the exception of the reception staff whom i found a litle stuffy). i would recommend this place for families but not for couples. there is a disco on site which is open till 4am. snacks are available all day on the beach front from pizzas, chicken kebabs and hot dogs, there is also ice cream nad biscuits at the pool bar.
|

Elenite Village/Royal Park Hotel by BillB on 28 Sep 2006, 20:28 We had a great time. All we wanted was a two chill out and that is what we got. We could not fault the hotel, the accomodation was superb, absolutely spotless, the food could have been better, but we allways found something we liked. I have never seen such a clean hotel, there were cleaners everywhere, the beach was constantly cleaned. You have to remember that this is a First Choice hotel and the reps worked their butts off. The evening entertainment at the Royal Park was to a very high standard (if you discount the evening Bingo session. If you have kids they will love it. we did not go to the 'Annimation Hall', we found other entetainment at Paco's bar the wooden shack behind the hotel. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone, you get what you pay for.

our stay in elenite by martin, pam & family on 27 Jun 2006, 14:59 elenite is a lovely place to stay if you want a beach holiday. nothing much to get dressed up for at night unless you get a taxi into sunnybeach where there is more entertainment going on. we found it very clean and friendly but we would not go back as it has nothing in the complex for our family in the evenings. weather great, beach great, pools great, food not so good and entertainment crap?. a must see is nesebar good food,& shopping, and if you are a family of 4 you are cheaper going by taxi only 60 levs were is the boat is 80 levs and shops you can hagil with and get your stuff for good prices. so thats what we though of elenite holiday village.

great holiday in elenite holiday village by mairi n ryan on 14 Jun 2005, 13:36 the village is a great place to have a relaxing holiday. the beach is gorgeous,the food and drink were great!the pool was always clean as was the entire village - always cleaners seen throughout the day ad night cleaning. Sunnybeach is only about 15 mins away and def worth going there for a more lively athmosphere. The village has been complained about and i dont realy see why. Loved bulgaria and will def go back one day!

Elenite Holiday Village by Claire on 24 May 2005, 11:19 Arrived back from Elenite Holiday Village on 21st May 05 with a nice tan. Me (21) and my boyfriend (26) were worried about all the bad reviews we had read before going out there, but we shouldn't have worried because it was really good.
The only complaints we did have were that when we first arrived at about 2am there was not enough bell boys to take people to their villas. In the end we all just went and found our own rooms. The food was sometimes cold but it was always cooked, I think it was more to do with if you went down to eat late. We ate in the Talyana restaurant and the Sunshine restaurant, so there's plenty of food to choose from. The pool's are really cold, so you have to be brave when you get in. We went on the Lazy Day Cruise which was really good, just a bit windy. You sail round the coast going to Sunny Beach and Nessabar, and they put on a really nice lunch for you. The entertainment is good as well, something for all ages.
Take advantage of the coach service that the hotel offers, it costs 8 levs each for a return. It's loads cheaper than a taxi!
The maids are always cleaning at all hours in the day. We had a really nice villa right on the beach, so we were really lucky.
We probably wouldn't go back again only beause it's more family orientated, and there's nothing to do after midnight unless you go the 30 mins into Sunny Beach.
Highly recommend it to anyone thinking of going, great value for money.
