Rooms are very clean and spacious and our maid was very nice and friendly enough. I wouldn't recommend this hotel even if they have kids even the entertainment/mini disco isn't english!
Weather wasn't very pleasant we had 2 hot days out of 7.
Bar Staff in hotel not very friendly unless you were buying something!
Waiter in the restaurant in the evening told me to get my own drink from the self-service pump which was situated elsewhere but then proceeded to serve the germans what they wanted!
This hotel is only recommended for its location and cleanliness,i won't be returning to this hotel again.
Although I can understand that Germans are perceived as being rude, nobody on this ridulous form actually tries to understand the cultural differences before making these superficial, negative comments.
German people are like cats. You have to earn their respect, but once you did, you have reliable friends for life who would risk their lives for you. If you prefer superficial "see you around" sort of wannabe-friends, search somewhere else. But don't just make judgements if you have no idea what's going on. Always playing the WWII card won't improve relationsships between countries. Germany, like no other country on the planet, is self-critical with regard to its history. In fact, we still feel guilty 65 years later, and rightly so. So don't call us Nazis because we actually try to learn from history.
It is the first time going on holiday that i was ever made more unwelcome by a hotel in my life. we went on room and breakfast rate. we made the mistake of going to the restaurant the second night we got there. after being shown to our table we went to the buffet counter to get what shouldnt be described as food . it was luke warm unedible tripe. mid way through this, a very stern restaurant manager came up to us and demanded that the food be paid for at the reception desk straight away.apparently it was of uptmost importance just in case i was leaving the country!!!i suspect if we were german there would have been no problem paying when we were finished like most normal restaurants. This hotel is most definitly aimed at the germans. if you are not german dont bother booking this hotel.Also in this hotel they attract the most ignorant race of german people i have ever come across. at breakfast time they would regulary push you out of their way to get to the hot counter. not that the selection of food is anything to rush for.i appreciate that when you go away that you sample different foods but selection was very poor and very questionable if even properly cooked.
The pool is far too small for the amount of rooms in the hotel and if you are not down to reserve a lounger by 6am forget about it.
The evening entertainment in the hotel is a joke. The animation team put on what would be pushing it to call amateur.My 4 year old daughter would do better.Speaking of my daughter, we put her in the kids club one day to see if she would meet some friends. the only problem there is the supervisor could only speak german and my child had no clue what was been said. needless to say she never went back.
i would strongly urge any english speaking people to avoid this hotel as they will want nothing to do with you when you get there.
we go on a foregin holiday every year and this is the first tiome i was ever so pissed off that i wrote a review in the hope nobody else makes the same mistake of booking this hotel.
On the down side, the food at the Atlas’ restaurant although plentiful is a bit basic, bland and monotonous. After a few days I found I would much rather eat out to. The food elsewhere around Golden Sands is great and cheap, 15 to 25 Lv is more than enough per head for a great meal including drinks. If our experience is typical, the Atlas’ Chinese’ restaurant is probably to be avoided, we aren’t picky eaters but I don’t think just adding a load of super salty soy sauce to different meat dishes doesn’t qualify then as Chinese, out of the 9 in our party none could eat it.
The Atlas’ all inclusive package is definitely on the low end of the scale and I’m afraid it was a bit of a let down. Away from main restaurant meal times (see above) the food options are limited to the likes of cold French fries, very bland pizza, mini sausages and cold (ish) pasta. You aren’t permitted to use the hotel’s two main bars, in the daytime you limited to a make shift bar pushed under some stairs and in the evening (‘till 11PM) to the outdoor ‘Ice bar’. Your room’s mini bar is also not in the all inclusive package, in fact there’s a warning that you’ll be charged 5 Lv a day if you put anything of your own in it. It also seems ‘rules’ are not waived in the slightest. My pal went to the Ice bar at around 10:45 one night and joined the end of the last drinks queue. When he eventually he got to be net to be served a ‘CLOSED’ sign was plonked on the bar in front of him. He and the hand full of others still queuing were not impressed. Rumour had it that this is a nightly event; surely with a bit of thought the bar staff could predict when to tell people to stop queuing.
It is unbelievable how ignorant they are - they have no manners at all and shove past you when youre trying to leave the lifts etc!! On one occasion my youngest daughter (4) stepped into the lift and 2 elderly german ladies closed the door on me and my partner so therefore we were left open mouthed wondering where our daughter was off to!! Eventually after 5 mins she appeared back on ground floor on her own looking very confused. Im sorry but if that had been british in the lift at that time they would have made sure my daughter got back to us safe and well - but what else do you expect from the germans!!! Anyway still all enjoyed our stay at the Atlas and a big shout out to all (Ivor, Dessi, Sato and the rest of the staff and animation team) One thing we were disappointed with was the fact that the changed last years kids entertainer - Dessi was much better at the job!!!!! Hi also to Lindsay and Marie too!!!
all i can say is MAGIC
The restaurant staff and only the restaurant staff can be and are extremely threatening and intimidating. The food is disgusting and the menu never changes from day to day. If you are all inclusive and have already paid for the holiday in this hotel take extra money for meals out that you will enjoy far more. And please do not approach the restaurant staff with any complaints or even queries. The reaction you will get is terrible and scary... All the staff gather around you immediately no matter how nicely you enquire. Other than that the local resort is very nice but not for kids... At this time of the year the resort is dominated by Germans so expect it and don't be offended by it. They are a pain in the butt and as well very rude. But just wanting to enjoy their holiday as like you.
IF YOU HAVEN'T BOOKED YOUR HOLIDAY YET... LOOK AT SUNNY BEACH... Many of my family had been there and had no problems... Also no matter where in Bulgaria you are visiting don't go all inclusive-it is seriously cheap to eat and drink out and you will have more fun!!!
The room was clean and the decor very class. Staff in pool bar very friendly, maids work really hard and produce great results. The beach is also clean ! A good trip !
