The hotel looks gorgeous. It is close to the public beach, close to cheap street shops and markets. Rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable and well equipped. We had the room on the pool side so it was quiet.
There is very nice and clean hotel pool.
The stuff in most cases speaks English and Russian (Reception - both languages, but maids and conservators - only Bulgarian and Russian). All of them are polite and helpful.
Splendid Animation team! They can move both children and grown-ups.
Meals are tasty but not very various. Vine and beer in all inclusive restaurant - very poor. Much better in restaurant a la carte.
I think this hotel is worth to choose it.

Planeta hotel have very large rooms but a litllebit oldfashioned decorated. The hotel is definetevely not a 5 star hotel...but is a good choice for budget vacation. The food is ok ,if you preffer all inclusive style. The hotel is almost 150 m from the beach where you have to pay the beach-chair (5 euro). Although the bulgarian people are rude and not so welcoming...if you like bulgarian Black sea coast, Planeta is a good value choice.

This is listed as a 5 star hotel and was all inclusive. The food was awful, general hygiene of the buffet style meals was highly questionable, the table clothes were filthy at every meal, and the service from the restaurant staff was terrible. The room was very big but was extremely plain, wallpaper coming off the walls, under dresser / desks had not been vacuumed in quite some time. The service from the front desk staff was horrible. This is not a 5 Star hotel at any level!!! If you are planning a trip to Sunny Beach, search out a nice 3 star hotel with pool and breakfast included, you will be much happier.

We have just returned from 1 week at the "5 star" hotel Planeta in sunny beach, Bulgaria. My advice is go at your own risk! We were the only Brits in the whole hotel, in fact we were the only non Bulgarian guests in the hotel. The place was fully booked with 1400 19 year old school leavers and was a complete riot all day and night till gone five in the morning every morning. The whole hotel was given over to thekids to do as they pleased and nothing was done to stop them. On complaint we were told "they are school leavers having a good time" All well and good but not at the cost of our holiday! The food was stone cold and mostly ineadable. The beer was served in 1/3rd pint plastic cups which they only half filled and was watered down. The wine tasted like anti-freeze and all this joy was only available from the pool bar not the two inside bars which you had to pay for. Never stayed in such a place before and hopefully never will again. We booked the hotel under the impression it was a 5 star hotel, I would give it a 2 star max, it was that bad we moved hotels! Very disappointed as we saved a long time for the pefect family holiday which we never got, even the kids couldn't wait to get home!
