“Great holiday.ruined by thomson”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 June 2012 NEW via mobile

person found this review helpful

Very good hotel,food was excellent plenty of choice, i do not eat red meat but was pleasently surprised by the choices available. The staff all seemed eager to help, the room maid was very good clean towels every day, the pool temp was very cold not many people stayed in very long, inside pool was much warmer but also a lot smaller, like all reviews at this hotel the evening entertainment is slated but for amatuers its not too bad some good shows mixed in with some not so good. Stayed the last 2 weeks of may and the weather was not so good (warmer in uk). The small town of obzor was just gearing up ready for the tourist trade. Think june would be better. The downside is the thomson night flights awfull doesnt describe it. But the worst is the end of your holiday if like us you fly in from manchester you get it worst. You have to vacate your room at 12 noon (or pay extra 70levs for 6hrs) but you dont get collected until 11pm /1am or manchester 3am the next day. So you hang around the pool/reception all day/night and this happens every other day so its very busy at times. Really put the downers on this holiday for us...NEVER AGAIN

“Just hope it doesn't rain !!!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 May 2012 NEW

Let me start by saying that the location of the hotel is first class,right on the beach wiith wonderful views from the rooms.The village is nearby but it is very small with a few bars shops etc. The staff are very polite and the food is good (but not quite 4 star)

We had sunshine for three days and then it rained continually for four days!! The entertainment at the hotel is poor bordering on the embarrassing and no-one thought to change the programme to react to the monsoon season!

If you want to be out of the way this is the place for you but watch out if it rains!

“Lovely Obzor beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

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.

“chilled out holiday”

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.
