Hotel Marina Palace, Affiliated by Meliá

We enjoyed a spectacular 10-day stay at this hotel. Everything was above our expectations from the very beginning. The receptionist that welcomed us helped fulfil all of our requests, including a room that overlook the Old Town of Nessebar, for my 88-year-old mother, who spent a lot of time indoor, so she wanted a good view. We started off our stay finding a complementary champagne, and some chocolates in our room, which we appreciated. The food at the restaurant was the best we’ve had in Bulgaria so far, and we’ve stayed at quite a few hotels over the years. It was really well cooked, the ingredients were fresh and we were fans of the thematic nights (we especially loved the Italian and Oriental night). Some of our favourite courses included the eggplant salad (which we couldn’t resist every single time), the corn flour bread, the pancakes at breakfast, Adana Kebab, the duck with oranges, the pork ribs, and the burrito. Regarding beverages, we can certainly say that the coffee was the best we’ve had thus far in a Bulgarian all-inclusive resort, especially the one at the Marina bar. We also appreciated the champagne, fresh orange juice, Hibiscus tea, and Bellini cocktails. For all guests who stay 5+ days, the hotel offers a complimentary visit at the A la Carte Restaurant, where we enjoyed some really good food, and a wonderful dining experience with a stunning view of the town. The Marina bar was also a highlight for us, both bartenders preparing delicious cocktails and being very nice, welcoming us with a smile on their faces. It was our place to go to for a relaxing night cap. A detail that we loved was the possibility to take away a drink or a coffee back to your room, if you felt too tired after a full of walking, for instance. Regarding the hotel’s position, it is situated within walking distance of both Old Nessebar and New Nessebar, and close to a beautiful sandy beach. To be honest, it’s the best beach we’ve been to in Bulgaria. My birthday happened to be during my stay, so the hotel sent to my room another bottle of champagne, together with a card, and a magnet as gift. I found it to be a nice, thoughtful detail. Cleaning was also top notch at the hotel, the lady in charge with our room doing a splendid job each and every day, changing our towels daily, making our beds, and leaving us bottles of water, some tea bags, and instant coffee. We also have to give a shoutout to the receptionist when we checked out, on morning of the 31st of August, who was very nice to us that day and throughout our stay, helping us with a smile on her face. This was the norm for all hotel staff, but we have to mention in particular Luka from the Marina Bar, and Ilya, the F&B Manager. Overall, this was the perfect stay for us, and we are definitely coming back next year.

First time in Bulgaria and what an amazing experience. The hotel is clean and the staff looks always professional but at the same time friendly. Rooms are spacious and cleaned daily with fresh towels etc Food is amazingly tasty and yummy with plenty of variations on a daily basis. Plenty of deserts and fruit to complete the meal. Two bars again with amazing staff, the SKY Bar is at the top of the hotel with a view to die for. Thank you.

Absolutely fabulous, staff were brilliant, food was amazing, everyday was a different menu couldn’t ask for more. The area around the hotel is really nice with plenty of walks & many hidden gems. The Old Town of Nessebar is a short stroll along the promenade. Certainly a place we will return too sometime soon
