  Surrounding area

  18 May 2026

  I have just returned from a week in this hotel. The hotel itself is above average, lovely and clean and the staff are very pleasant. However, the meals are only average, very repetitive and barely warm.The views from the front of the hotel overlooking the old town and the Black Sea are beautiful but the area in which the hotel is actually in (Nessebar new town) is really rather unpleasant and, as a solo female traveller, is not somewhere I would venture out in an evening. I was struck by the general air of neglect in the surrounding area (apart frown Nessebar old town which is stunning and a 10/15 minute walk from the hotel) but, again, I would not walk here during the evening. As it was the start of the season (which I did not realise until I arrived) the hotel was extremely quiet with more staff than guests. There was no entertainment at all, the a la carte restaurant wasn't open and there was no ambiance. All in all, I would not return.

  The most perfect hotel!

  15 May 2026

  I genuinely could not recommend any hotel more than this! We stayed for 3 nights for my partners birthday, and the staff alone were such helpful, friendly, perfect people! The hotel itself is beautiful, multiple floors, a rooftop pool AND bar, the dinner buffet is lovely, but honestly, the staff are what make this hotel so welcoming, and such a relaxing place to be! The location is beautiful, 20 mins walk to sunny beach, 5 minutes to the Nessebar island, and surrounded with nice restaurants and views. Came here in May, just before peak tourist season and it was so quite! Definitely a good idea to get in before it gets hectic! For such cheap price, this hotel is a absolute must, all inclusive drinks (including alcohol&cocktails!), food, and a mini bar in your room free of charge!!To ALL the staff at Hotel Marina - thank you so so so much for making our stay so welcoming and inviting, and going out of your way to make sure the guests are happy! You are all beautiful people and I wish you the best possible things in life

  Nice Hotel Close To The Old Town

  23 Oct 2025

  We were recommended Nessebar by a travel agent and it's not disappointed as a resort; think Dubrovnik without the hassle when you're in the old town across the causeway which is an easy walk from the Sol Marina Palace hotel.The hotel is very clean and well staffed. Food is acceptable as all-inclusive arrangements go; each day has a country's cuisine theme for the evening meal menu but breakfast and lunch have a good selection too. If you don't already know, Bulgarians don't have their food super hot so you might find warm soup or tepid dishes unless you get something straight from their grill. Staff are very friendly and speak far better English than I do Bulgarian. We were in room 120 (see floor map attached) which while comfortable with a nice bathroom and effective AC was immediately above the lobby bar and it's outdoor area on on end and overlooked the lobby atrium at the other end so it wasn't the quietest room at times. I'd recommend trying to get on the odd numbered side of the building which also overlooks the old town; if you can get to the back of any given floor (101 or 102 in that floor plan would be ideal but same applies on floors 2, 3 and 4) then you'd have a quieter time all things considered.That one quibble aside, I'd recommend this adults only hotel and it's older demographic over a stay anywhere in Sunny Beach!

  Nice easy walk in to Nessebar

  11 Oct 2025

  Went here for our anniversary. Been to Bulgaria several times before but mostly in the mountain area, Sofia and Plovdiv. Nice hotel, yes, the pool is small but perfectly adequate for a nice jump in and cool off. Of course there are pigeons and seagulls around - you're on the coast. Bit of bird poo on one of the cushions of the sunbeds. Generally the whole hotel was kept nice and clean and tidy. Our room was perfectly OK with all facilities available. Iron, ironing board, spare pillows, soap and shampoo all provided.

  Abysmal food and to loud after midnight

  06 Oct 2025

  Let me start with the positives, the location and views are super. The cleanliness was probably the best we've ever experienced. Sadly that is all the good I can say.Our areas of serious complaint where regarding the appalling food during the holiday, which was poor from the first day and progressively deteriorated to a level which was inedible. The Hotel was winding down to close and this was apparent by the daily reduction in the food offered. Our next major complaint is the fact the hot food was cold all of the time. I don’t expect to pay for All Inclusive and on most evenings have to go out to local restaurants to dine out. My wife and I have travelled far and wide for many years, and I state categorically the food served at the Sol Marina Palace is by far the worse we’ve every come across. I cannot underscore enough how utterly appalling and cold the food was at this Hotel. The better choice of hot meat was served at 6pm as the restaurant opened and was gone well before 7pm. It was never replaced so the early diners got food that was not offered to the rest of us. Not everyone wants to eat so early and even if everyone did the restaurant wouldn't hold everyone at once. They had outside areas for both dining and in the marina bar and haven't the sense to purchase patio heaters for when the evenings get cold.If the Hotel was going to be running down for closing – I feel this should have made this clear in the brochure and given anyone booking the choice and knowledge this was going to be the case at this Hotel.When we booked this holiday, it was on the basis it was a 4 star, All Inclusive, Adults Only Hotel. We were put in a room on the 4th floor, one level below the Sky Bar. The noise was unbearable after 4 nights we had to formally request a room move!! The reception staff and the Duty Manager showed very little interest and had I not made a very forthright complaint I doubt they would have moved us. I can only sum this up as like being on an 18 -30 holiday. The Hotel states the Sky Bar closes at 12 midnight – It certainly isn’t acceptable for drunks to be shouting, making a nuisance of themselves and be running around the Hotel after 1am. With a 24-hour reception they were fully aware of this unacceptable behaviour on a number of nights and did nothing about it.
