Dit Evrika Beach Club Hotel - All Inclusive

Food is horrid, living of egg & beans for breakfast, chips for tea, pepsi max tastes rank, towel staff are very very rude shouting at us in bulgerian- i get that's is language but should speak some English as most of the tourists here are English. Slides was only open 4 hours a day 10-12, 3-5. Life guard was on his phone and not watching the pool. Only good part of our holiday was the animation team very friendly always had time for a chat.. 1st & last time in bulgeria.

Awful hotel, very dirty, I attached pictures from the bathroom, rooms and restaurant. TUI didn’t mention that slides can be used only for person above 130cm hight which meant that our 6.5yo child couldn’t use it. Smell from drains in bathrooms was horrible. Our room and bathroom was so dirty. It wasn’t cleaned properly and for the 9 days we stayed it wasn’t hoovered even once. They didn’t replace shampoos or soaps. No water in the fridge. Made walked into the room on many occasions without knocking on the door. Everything was dated and dirty, food wasn’t good. Often missing milk in the morning (cold or hot unavailable). Asian restaurant was a joke, poor choice and just really badly prepared. Guy who was booking a la carte restaurants was talking some nonsense about his Porsche dream keeping a lot of people waiting in the queue to book in the restaurants. The worst hotel we stayed in and we go on holiday few times a year every year, just not worth any money. Ice cubes only available in the bars so when you used machines in the restaurants you had to drink warm, all sodas had no fizz to them and tasted bad. Only zero sugar drink available was Pepsi. Such shame because location is great, beach is beautiful and kids club team and entertainment team made so much effort and they were all so lovely. They need to renovate everything and clean it properly, change all the furniture to make it a proper hotel, now is more like a dirty motel. Water in pools extremely cold. Water in the sea was lovely.

If you’re on the fence about Bulgaria, I’d say go, it’s a lovely welcoming place, very family friendly and everyone we met seemed very respectful. Hotel staff endlessly polite and patient especially at the bar. Pools, not heated so can feel cold but slides kept you busy as well as the (very) lazy river - although think a jet was broken as it had rapids almost while we were there in one area! Food is good, almost always a chips and nuggets option or burger. We all loved the breaded pork, battered cauliflower, gnocchi and pizza as some stand outs. Custom omelettes for breakfast but easily made full englishes or continental and even had fruit with muesli one day. Snack bar also serves late breakfast. We got lucky with pool view, but others had car park views. We went early September and it was VERY quiet by the time we left. 2 handy shops on site, the one by the restaurants (not in premium building) is better and cheaper and labelled supermarket. Pros: -Activity staff were great, always offering things to do, but not pushy if you said no -No pushy sales people at the resort or on the beach unlike most other places -Huge variety of food -Italian a la carte restaurant was 10/10, and they made it special for us with a birthday, the manager is really understanding. -No pushing for tips -Bar staff move between bars to help reduce queues but never leave a bar with no staff -Beach is good, little taps to wash sand off before you go and brushes back at the hotel -Parasailing and other water sports available for extra on the beach -Beach exit is on the main strip so easy access to tourist shops, pharmacies and other paid for bars as well as McDonalds/KFC/Lidl/Carre four/Burger King etc -Road train stops just outside hotel, great for people who struggle walking long distances but want to go to the markets or Nessebar (6BGN any distance any direction) Cons: -On the beach all you hear is the platinum casino advert all day every day. -Room water pipes clearly connected as we could hear conversations echo and whenever someone within 2 rooms flushed or showered -Food was very same ish every night in buffet restaurant -Mexican restaurant was a major let down with stale or cold food or just not as described. -Snack bar only open 1000-1700 -Plug hole water slide, most popular, only open 1600-1700 each day, sometimes had to queue for 10 minutes -Lots of jelly fish in the sea, be careful we got dunked near a lot of them when parasailing and they sometimes get into the swimming areas -Lazy river was broken and had some very difficult to cross rapids at the back due to broken jets. -Booking a birthday cake is around 70BGN (30GBP) which we felt was very expensive -Only one lift in main/C block for disabled access, premium block had more lifts but all bedrooms were up stairs so not accessible.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this hotel. The quality of the food is outstanding, truly remarkable. Every meal was a delight, and it’s clear that great care and passion go into the preparation. It feels like every dish is made with a special ingredient: LOVE. The cleanliness of the rooms is excellent, and I want to specifically highlight the work of our housekeeper, Hayrie. She did an exceptional job ensuring everything was spotless and comfortable. We dined in Block D, and the staff there were incredibly friendly and attentive. The cuisine is second to none, and the warm atmosphere made our dining experiences very special. I also had the pleasure of speaking with Kadi, who is doing an excellent job. Her professionalism and friendliness really stood out to me. The entire staff, especially the ladies who oversee everything, are welcoming and greet you with a warm smile every time. One of the key reasons we chose this hotel is the fact that sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach are included. The hotel strictly enforces a policy against reserving sunbeds for hours without being present, which I find more than fair. The lifeguards at the beach keep a close watch on this, ensuring that everyone has a fair chance to enjoy the facilities. They are constantly on the move, cleaning the beach and the sunbeds, and maintaining a high standard of service. This is our third year staying here, and we will definitely return. If I had to mention one minor critique, it would be that the water slides could be open all the time, and the water in the children’s pool could be a bit warmer. However, I love that each year we discover that the hotel is not just being worn out; instead, renovations and improvements are continuously being made. This commitment to maintaining and enhancing the property is truly commendable.

Nice hotel, but IT WAS better in the previous years. Overall, the hotel is okay, but it seems that with every year that passes it becomes a little bit worse than the year before (I was there two consecutive years for coupe of days). With every year, the pools (especially the premium one) lose few more ceramic tiles that are never replaced, the rust around pool bar and other iron elements becomes more and more noticeable, and the general impression is that the current owners just want to recover their money and don’t care to much about the future. The premium restaurant, offer just a small variety of food. Another thing that worth mentioning is that, this is probably the only 4 stars hotel that doesn’t have a mini bar in the room, the refrigerator in the room is completely empty, not even water, so you have to buy it yourself. The water in the pools trend to be in the cold zone, especially the one in the kids pool, and I don’t really understand why the water in the kids pool have to be colder than the one in the main pool.
