Penelopa Palace Apart Hotel & Spa

It was a huge disappointment. Overpriced, the quality is not up to par. Parking space has to be paid for separately. Lounge chairs have to be paid for separately. No internet in the room. After asking to turn on the internet, unfortunately nothing changed. The staff is not competent and not friendly. I advise everyone, please do not spoil your vacation, do not choose this hotel ever!

We didn’t stay here, but used the restaurant twice. The food is fantastic and the service is excellent. Was beginning to think all Bulgarians were rude after our experience at Via Pontica Hotel but staff at the restaurant at Penelope Palace have shown me otherwise. Definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone staying in Pomorie.

The only reason i leave this hotel a one-star is simply because of the management and hopefully something change for the better! We stayed there last year and we loved it ,but this year,sadly, they just became like everyone else - hungry for money. All the prices are even higher compared to last year ( have in mind you are in a very small, village-like town ). Have in mind that in this price you only get an average breakfast and that's pretty much it. Their "private beach" is a money laundering machine , they kindly ask you to pay 30 leva for 2 sunbeds and an umbrella ?!? Like ,are you serious people ? The majority of their staff is excellent, especially the waiters around the pool. However the other part talk to you only in Russian like you are on of them, although you are residing in BULGARIA. The prices in their restaurant - oh boy, oh boy ... For example if you are to eat in a luxurious restaurant in Sofia ,Bulgaria, it would cost you half as much, you do the math... Last but not least , they guarantee no free parking and if the street run out of spots you'd be basically forced to pay 10-20 leva per night to park in a facility owned by the hotel, yes, as a guest ! This has been the cherry of the cake and most probably if not certainly my last time on the Black Sea coast. For the amount of money i spent there i could've gone for 2 weeks in Turkey, Greece and other much greater places. I am really disappointed and by leaving the lowest grade possible i really hope this will open the owners eyes and make them fix some things or the future of this hotel will definitely, definitely not be bright !

Having never been to Bulgaria, this was bit of a leap of faith! The hotel is not luxurious but it is super clean, friendly, good value for money and in a nice spot by the beach. We stayed in the double/twin room option (ie not an apartment). Although no sea view, it was comfortable, extremely spacious, with a balcony, fridge and kettle (bring your own tea/coffee). The pool is very nice although relatively small and I'm sure it would get busy in high season. It is also unsupervised and the only downside of our stay was that some children were left to their own devices, with little consideration for other guests. We visited at the end of May which is low season, and restaurants and bars around about were mostly closed. I gather things pick up from June. However you can easily travel into old Pomorie , Nessebar or Sunny beach by bus or taxi (check the price before you get in!!) where there is more choice. We mostly ate in the hotel restaurant, which had plenty of choice. Breakfasts were a highlight, being a la carte rather than a buffet, which was a nice change. We appreciated a warm and sunny short break, and would return to explore more of the area. At the time of writing, the going rate for a taxi transfer to and from the airport was 30 Liev.
