A great location and deals to be found. The rooms are quite nice but the whole hotel feels like it’s very dated.

Proximity to the beach. 3/5 day we stayed had quite a varied serving. For the other days there was a generous salad bar where you could pick around 20-25(rough estimation) from a round shaped salad island. I must mention we are not the ideal customers - we are not very picky. There were some dishes that we could not understand: boiled corn seeds mixed with (too much) oil, but we had others we could choose from. Unclear why the yogurt bowl always had to have a very bright colored gue on it... (Probably e gem of some sort). Albena sand.Guys at the pool bar always friendly and helpful. Tattooed guy in the hotel bar - also helpful and nice.Manager of the hotel and some trainees were quite reactive to our questions/complaints.

We had no information that the in-room-bar beverages are included and refilled on a daily basis(hope this helps others).The hotel staff and the animation staff are 2 different entities that know nothing about each other. Funny at first, not so funny when you actually find out that the entertainment room that is at Kaliakra Beach - it's a shared resource, but hard to find information on it. (According the the staff of the 2 hotels - the only shared resource - except the stage area that is also at Kaliakra Beach - holding evening events)Rooms were a bit on the tight area in the hallway entrance I estimate 1m width (food did not help ?).Bar has about 4-5 drinks that could qualify as import aka the "Ultra" in the All-inclusive.Beer only at tap - not bad, but not good either.The - in between meal servings - near the outside bar - sometimes implies salads that were quite easily getting soggy because of the outside heat. The worst was that sometimes the salads contained yoghurt ... Left with no cooling.Also, I would have expected at least 1.fruit to be present at this bar at all times, this happened 50% of the time.Plastic cutlery from the outside salad/grill bar that broke very easily - must pay special attention to kids not to swallow small bits especially from the plastic forks by mistake ... Shouldn't there be no more plastic cutlery?General rule of thumb (for us) at all meals: never touch any type of minced meat byproducts - this is a taste thing - recommend you stop after tasting any if you don't like it - it will be the same meat.The worst experience with some minced meat patties was at the outside bar grill: where they were brought from the freezer and thrown directly on the grill - and to avoid burning them they were 2/3 raw. After 2-3 polite requests we managed to ask the nice guy to fry them a little longer after he squished them a bit. Ate 1, did not get sick ... But not a great experience either.

We are a family that has been spending their holidays at the sea in Albena for 10 years at the KALIAKRA MARE (DOBROTITSA) hotel. Not for nothing, this is the hotel where, apart from the favorable location (near the sea), we also have an exemplary welcome from the staff, from the manager to the auxiliary staff, and with the "all inclusive" option we have all the culinary pleasures both general as well as specific local ones. And until now, we had the pleasure of meeting the hotel manager, through the friendly reception of my family, but this year, through an unfortunate event (accident), I also had the help of the hotel, regarding my preparation for the hospital, for which I thank.

There was a problem with the air conditioner, but it was solved.

Good location.

Bugs in the room, asked for a bed sheet for my kid and they 'forgot' to bring, same song played on the 'chill-out station' of the hotel for 5 days!!! The food is boring and repetitive. I came to this hotel for years, and it seems it is getting worst every year.

1. The location is perfect, on the beach and next to the restaurants, the rooms were nice, recently renovated.2. I would like to thank the manager of the hotel as she tried her best regarding ours and other people's complaints.

We are a big family and we had 6 rooms but we had to leave one day earlier because:1. The food was awful, with no taste and little variety. Mostly same food every day, with no options for babies. 3 of us got enterocolite and have been sick for a few days. 2. The staff barely speaks English and it was difficult to communicate.3. We had all inclusive but the staff at the bar said we couldn't have any more drinks.4. We were meant to have snacks between lunch and dinner but all they had it was some uncoocked pancakes. Some days they gad goffre but the queue was unbelievable long (greedy people taking more than they could eat)5. The water in the pool was incredibly cold.

The beds are comfortable and the bathroom is big enough. The TV has Netflix, which is a plus. You get two sunbeds and an umbrella on the beach or by the pool, but this practice is common at every hotel in Albena. The beach is very clean and quiet.

You pay way too much for a hotel that is definitely not 4 stars. I would say 2 stars at best. The food options were very limited and not so tasty. You get a cafeteria experience - not what you are paying for, not a 4 stars experience. For breakfast you get almost the same food options as for lunch or dinner - pasta, meat, some vegetables and cheese. And when i say pasta, i actually mean plain pasta with a bit of cheese on top or carbonara with dill and no taste at all. The coffee tastes bad and sometimes the machines lack milk.At noon you get snacks by the pool. But the woman who was making the waffles was rubbing her nose and then flipping the waffles with her bare hands - not washing them, not wearing gloves. Very unsanitary. The surface on which she was cooking seemed dirty as well.The restaurant tables were dirty too and very sticky. I’ve never seen someone sanitizing them, using some disinfectant. The rooms are smaller than what they seem in pictures and not so clean. We’ve seen spider webs all over the room. No one in the staff was wearing masks.

Passable

There are two hotels Kaliakra Mare and Kaliakra Beach and in the offer we had pictures with the second ,the big one.You are misleading people with this common name of locations ,in Kaliakra Beach are much better conditions and we did not have the chance to stay there.In the property i was with husband and child room was to small and the food mostly the same evert day of the 7 ,for my boy not even pizza ,loved by any child by the way.Place i would not return to.

nice property, good food, they have even smart tv where you can connect to Netflix.

10FlorinPosted on: 8-2-2021

The food was varied and good, and the drinks satisfying. Those who say that the food was poor should answer if they eat something else at home every day at every meal !!
