The hotel’s main buffet restaurant lays on generous spreads at breakfast, lunch and dinner, with show-cooking, kids’ buffet options and plenty of choice for fussy eaters. Two à la carte restaurants – one Italian-themed and one serving local Bulgarian specialities – add variety on longer stays (advance reservations required, seasonal opening and inclusions depend on length of stay).
Lobby bars and terrace areas keep drinks close at hand, from morning coffees to sunset cocktails. A smart dress code may apply in the evenings and restaurant opening times or offerings can vary through the season. What All Inclusive typically includes.

Families are spoilt for choice between the main outdoor freshwater pool, separate children’s section and the on-site aquapark. Expect slides and inflatable-ring chutes for thrill-seekers (with typical age, height or weight restrictions), plus a dedicated kids’ splash area. Sunbeds, parasols and pool towels are free, making it easy to settle in for the day.
Step past the pool terrace and you’re straight onto a long, sandy beach with typically calm waters. Independent watersports – from pedalos and canoes to motorised options – are usually available nearby for an extra charge, perfect if you fancy swapping the sunlounger for something more active.

Active guests can make good use of the air-conditioned gym, kitted out with cardio machines, free weights and a stretching area, while the resort’s sports programme runs everything from aerobics and aqua aerobics to basketball, football, tennis, volleyball, mini-golf and yoga.
