Royal Sun Apartments

We have just come back from a holiday at Royal Sun Apartments, Sunny Beach. The complex itself is ok, two swimming pools which have Life guards are nice. The staff in the bar offer good service and are generally friendly, the food is good and reasonable. The main reception staff are at best tolerable. One of the main gripes is that you need a fob to get in and out of the doors and a key to your room - you only get per family. This is ok if you have small children however if like us you have young adults with you that may come and go differently from yourself it's a complete pain, they struggle to access the building and the room. You cannot get a second key for love nor money. The rooms were basic, there is a kettle and two hob cooker. No toaster, no microwave! There are also no bowls or mugs, only large and small plates?? The air conditioning is good. The rooms were clean. The apartments are a good 10 minute walk from the beach and good 15-20 minute walk from the strip where the night life is.

Have read such negatives on this but to be honest I have nothing bad to say about Royal Sun, it's very secure and family oriented. People complaining about lack of entertainment but they would have known that there was no entertainment if they has read up on hotel before they booked. 5 mins walk and you are right in the middle of bars and restaurants. Hotel bar and restaurant wasn't my favourite but there was nothing the matter with them just found other bars and restaurants close by that were better. Our room was a corner 1 bedroom apartment and it was spot on, clean and basic. My family and I will definitely be returning.

We arrived here early afternoon, and found out that the booking via Booking.com wasn't with the hotel itself, but with an Apartment rental agency a few doors down. The receptionist was friendly and spoke decent English. We were checked in quickly at the rental agency by a friendly Lady. The apartment was fine, decent size, fully equiped kitchen, small balcony which overlooked the entrance of the hotel. Negative, you have to pay for the Wifi - 7 Lev (around GBP 3.50) per day, or you can take out a week. We could use the Wifi in the room, so was ok. The pool loungers - every one puts their towels on them very early morning. So when we came down, all were taken. The pools are nice, and a life guard on duty most time of the day, who tells People off for playing with balls and lilo's. We didn't use the bar or Restaurant, as there are better Options around. The beach is around a 10 min walk, and bus to Nessebar or further into Sunny Beach 200 meters away. The hotel is used by large tour Operators, so be prepared for that if you booked by yourself. All in all an ok stay, not our style of hotel to visit again
