weather 1st week of october.?

Can anyone help me please.?

Firstly the resort is just about closing up and the weather can be poor, very hit and miss and chilly at nights. saying that couple of years ago it was lovely sun.

Last years it was actually quite hot until end of October..but indeed the resort is closing after mid Sept so possibly just a few hotels would be open then, even if the weather is good. Might be better to stay in some of the small towns like Nessebar, Sozopol, etc - there the beach is good, and you can surely find places for entertainment / nice restaurants even in October/Nov.

I would advise to combine your stay at the sea with some excursions / holidays at the mountain. You can visit a lot of lovely historical places and local attractions within 1-2 hours of driving w/ a car. Thus even if it%26#39;s a bit colder - you can still enjoy a great time in Bulgaria.

Anyone Else Booked Club 18 - 30s At The Mariner?

Hi me and a group of mates have just booked up with thomas cook to go to the mariner studio / apartments club 18 - 30s and was wondering if anyone else was out there at the same time as us during the end of July 09?

Also:

Are there many fellow brits out there partying?

Is the nightlife there decent?

If anyone else has any advice for us it would be much appreciated. Thanks very much.

|||

Also does anyone know about the location of the Mariner and if it is a decent hotel to stay in? Thanks again

|||

Not sure about the Mariner, not heard of the place but with regard to nightlife it is awesome, loads of beachbars to start your night off, then the corner bar in the centre then onto a club. Disco Lazur is probably the best, open till @ 6am. then there is also disco orange to try. Mania is in the centre but mostly caters for local bulgarians and can be quite intimidating. If you need any further info just let me know, have a great holiday

|||

Sounds like our sort of scene then! Just a few more questions:

1. Been reading a lot about there being trouble out there with regards to prostitutes, pick pocketing and brits getting beaten up by the bulgarians. There any truth to these stories?

2. Are there loads of brits out there or is it a mix of different nationalities?

Thanks for the info its much appreciated.

|||

Also is there a lot of attractive woman in sunny beach?

Hi partyanimal sorry i carnt comment on the hotel as i dont know it .As for pickpots etc dont go down the beach at nigt as the prostitutes work down there.They take men down there and then they get pickpcketed .As long as your carefull you will be ok ,also watch the bulgarian girls in the nite clubs etc they will pickpocket you .Sunny bach is great with good nightlife a mixure of differant natinalities plenty of english girls.You will have a good time dont worry

Hi

Unfortunately the rumours reg the pickpocketing pros are correct, if they approach you in the street, and you will know when you see them that they are pros just say no thanks and keep walking, dont stop to talk to them. Most years they are the same girls and you see them night after night and after a couple of nights they will just leave you alone. Dont go onto the beach with one or you will be asking for a robbing.

Regards nationalities, varied, Scandanavian,German, Holland,English, Russian are the main but I have heard that there will be quite few more Romanians this year.

The Women in sunny beach are very beautiful, especially the Bulgarian girls, just watch out that they dont have a boyfriend the size of a gorilla.

Hello mate, me and 4 my lads booked to go to Hotel Mariner from 13-21 July with 18-30s, cant find many well any reviews on it tho which is abit worrying ! lol its all our first times goin to Bulgaria, Sunny Beach tho as spent last 3 summers in Ibiza, San Antonio. All i know is you cant complain about the currrency conversion when you get more than double what ever you put in in english, def seein as the euro is so rubbish! hopefully Sunny Beach will be a goldmine tho as some my other lads went last year and had an awesome time, said its def more beach bars, lounge bars n few clubs. Cant go wrong really! Hopefully its a good%26#39;un!

|||

Ive booked up with 3 of my mates to stay at the mariner studios with 18-30 and cant find any reviews about it either. hopefully thats just coz its a new hotel?? were off on the 1st week of ausgust and hoping its going to be awsome although i am a bit reserved about the mafia (i hear they run everything). Ive heard good things about sunny beach from a few friends so fingers crossed.

Hi lads,

sorry to tell you this, but most of the reports about Mariner give below average scores for the hotel - staff, pool are etc..

However it has a central location, close to all the action.

I would not recommend this hotel for couples and families, but for a bunch of friends looking for nightlife might be OK.

You could use the beach if you dont%26#39;t like the pool area - it is surrounded by the hotel itself from 3 sides.

Personally I think the rumors about pickpocketing are a bit exaggerated, but many foreigners here tend to drink until they can only crawl on 4 legs and exactly then they can be easy pray of some %26quot;hardworking%26quot; gypsies or dishonest taxi drivers. Also don%26#39;t bring any valuables on the sand beach, only what you need.. towels, sun oils, etc. or leave at all times one of you or friends near by to watch over your things while you are in the sea.

Enjoy your stay here.

Looking for the name of a German song?!

Hi all, there%26#39;s a german song i%26#39;ve heared at the Lazure, in German (pretty sure it%26#39;s German), when all sing along.

it%26#39;s not Remmidemmi, but the other one.

thank you!

accommodation in varna

Hello,

I am looking to stay in Varna town rather than Golden sands but would ideally love to find a reasonably priced hotel with a pool for a few days. I thought I found one called Detelina which looks relatively close on the map but they say it is 13km away from the town centre!

could anyone help me on this or recommend a reasonably priced place to stay and maybe a hotel that lets visitors use its pool faciltes!

Thanks :)

|||

Hi! I prefer Varna way over Golden Sands. A combination, ie 2-3 days in GS and the rest (weekend is best) in Varna is very nice.

I stayed at the hotel Odessos in Varna. The best location in town. 3 stars and not to expencive.

I dont think there is hotels withs pools facilities in central Varna.

But hotel Odessos is only 1-2 minutes walk to the beach. Very nice and not so crowded as in GS.

It is also a lot cheaper to eat and drink in Varna. And the restaurants are fare better!

|||

Hi,

We stayed in the Odessos a few years ago- its brilliant for location and cheap...only thing is it doesn%26#39;t have a pool...

iberostar sunny beach

Hi for all those who have stayed at this Hotel. what are the drinks prices like in the hotel and what time is the bar open to?????

|||

Price in hotel are well above average of the surrounding bars. Expect to pay 3 lev or more for a pint. Wife%26#39;s cocktail cost 9 lev in the bar but only 5 lev in bars close to hotel.

Have seen it closed at mid night on occasions, depends on how many in.
