Reviews
Hotel Palma 4 * (Bulgaria, Golden Sands) reviewsgot ambiguous. Basically, the rest there was normal. The hotel received the most positive feedback after the 2010 reconstruction. The rooms have become cleaner, removed all worn furniture. Most tourists were pleased Russian-speaking staff. All problems are solved quickly and without question.
What really got into trouble isa meal. More precisely, with a complete lack of choice of food. Those who rested for more than a week had to go to restaurants in the city. Therefore, many advise to still make out only breakfast.
Из заявленных музыкальных развлечений ничего не It was. For whatever reason - it is not clear. Perhaps not the season, perhaps some problems with the equipment. But travelers could not even listen to music by the pool. Of course, for those with small children, it is, on the contrary, a “plus”, but young couples had to look for a disco outside the hotel.
Also, many tourists were embarrassed by the fact that the hoteldivided into two parts, in one live local, who bought the apartment, for them there is a separate pool below. By the way, most of those who bought hotel rooms are elderly. Perhaps for this reason there is no noisy entertainment in the hotel.
Семейные пары жаловались на отсутствие double beds. We had to move the single, but it's still uncomfortable. Sometimes there are problems in the bathroom. Water accumulates and you have to wet it with a towel. Although in these cases, of course, it is better to call the reception and call the plumber.
By the way, it happened that the room brokethe castle, and the master's call did not succeed, since he did not understand Russian at all. If the main staff is Russian-speaking, the support staff will not always be able to understand your problems.
Some rooms have a problem withtechnique. Tourists complained of a bad hair dryer or insufficient quality air conditioning. TV, by the way, shows not so many channels, although, according to the conditions of the hotel, there should be satellite television. Although Russian-language programs can be found. Internet in the lobby is always fast, there are no complaints about the wireless connection.
The territory of the hotel is well-groomed.The cleanliness of the terrace, parking closely monitored. Also clean and pools. Umbrellas and deck chairs are not jammed, so it's nice to rest on them. Rooms are cleaned daily. Towels you change as soon as you throw them on the floor. Bed linen will be replaced on request and scheduled twice a week. In principle, there were no unpleasant stories with the staff.
Basically everyone who rested in the hotel Palma 4 *(Bulgaria, Golden Sands), were satisfied. This place is designed for family holidays. The building is located almost in the forest. Around a lot of greenery and great air. The hotel is always calm and quiet, which contributes to a comfortable rest. Many people liked the fact that the hotel is located on the 2-3 shoreline.

The hotel is suitable for those who like to sleep well, but if you need some kind of nightly entertainment, it’s easy to find them in half a kilometer from the hotel.
