No private beach, -food adequate but unexciting, -however Helios is sighted in a very lively, if a bit seedy part of town, -ideal for a stroll after dinner. Staff throughout were excellent -especially the bar staff. Overall a successful holiday , would go again & recommend to friends

Overall, we were very happy with the hotel but there were a couple of niggles: Firstly, due to the terrible flight times that Thomson insist on (nothing to do with the hotel) we arrived at the hotel at 4am on the Saturday morning. Check ing was quick and simply... More

My wife and I (both around 50) travelled out to Sunny Beach for our first holiday in this Bulgarian resort over the Spring Bank holiday week. We chose the Riu Helios after having good experiences with other Riu hotels in other countries and we have even booked another Riu for later in the year in the Caribbean. The hotel certainly... More

This was the first time my wife and I had been to Bulgaria, we were very pleased with the accomodation and the food although sometimes it was luke warm. Apparently the Bulgarian people don't like their food hot, but as I explained they were supposed to be catering to European tastes and the food soon was served hot. You must... More
