“Lovely Obzor beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012
6
people found this review helpful

Once again Riu has picked a brilliant location, right on beach.
Great Staff, lovely clean hotel, excellent food, only one meal time struggled to find something we liked out of the 14 days, can't ask for more! Have stayed in a number or Riu Hotels.

Didn't expect it to be as nice as it was, the area had a lovely park, and walking a full circle around the town took about 30/40 minutes (walking slow!). Lots of little shops selling T shirts etc, copies, but good quality. Not that you needed it as there was more than enough food and drink in hotel, pizzas and kebab meat etc extremely good value not far from hotel.

Small amusement area, just outside hotel with dodgem cars and bouncy slides etc. cost about £1.50 a ride.

Weather was lovely, a mixture, of sun, wind and a couple days of rain.

Mixture of nationalities, but generally all seemed to get on well. Plenty of entertainment for children, entertainment staff spoke english as well as german.

Strange little airport, but well organised.

Great hotel, we will be returning.

person found this review helpful

We went end of sept night flights out of gatwick got to the hotel about one in the morning but they had layed on light refreshments and pastries.The rooms were nice and spacious all with sea views. The staff were very polite and friendly, hotel was clean didnt have the wow factor some riu hotels do.Breakfast and dinner was served upstairs in main restaurant buffet style, lunch and afternoon snacks served in restaurant by pool. When we went it was end of season so not a lot was open in town.Enjoyed holiday it was chilled out but will not be in hurry to return.

“On visiting Bulgaria”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011
8
people found this review helpful

Cannot fault this hotel - staff were friendly, food was excellent, room was bright, airy and clean.

Obzor is a developing resort so there are signs of new-build all around. Also there is not a great deal to do there (nice parks and a beautiful sandy beach) but since we stayed all-inclusive, we didn't need to venture far.

We travelled with Thomsons and our main gripe would be the flight times available (it's worth paying the extra to keep your room until late). Beware the trip to Varna, we were taken to an out of city centre shopping Mall for two and a half hours (the trip does indicate "shopping opportunity" but we feel it wasn't explained well),

Would we go again? most deffinately.
