hiwoobydoo, ive been to the water park 3times with my kids.you are not allowed to take food and drink in but its very reasonable to buy anything you need inside.the kids and me loved it.the waters not deep and there are loads of life guards all around,male and female.
As for taking things into hotels ive never heard of being seached,i always stock up with booze and food from the many shops around sunny beach.enjoy your hols and don't worry, :sun2

hi everyone my name is tina and im a new member to this forum. like all of you i have been to bulgaria and i loved it so much i bought an apartment in june in sunny beach (im usually on the forum for property owners) as we missed the holiday season family and friends are using it now and so far everyone has had no complaints...well except for the pushy taxi drivers!! i have 3 kids 16, 14,12 and sunny beach has everything for them all. the water park at the top of sunnybeach is brill!! :tup . it has restaurants in the complex and is very reasonable and properly supervised plus the local bus brings you there for 2 levs. meals out are very cheap and for families there are the familiar mc donalds and KFC. clothes are very cheap and very good quality and if there are any bag fanatics out there like me ;) you will be blown away with the choice of Prada, gucci and dior rip offs.
nessabar is a beautifull city to visit if you like old buildings and for the shopaholic the new nessabar is just up the road. also Bourgas is another place to visit although it looks very run down from the outside because of the horrible high tower blocks that surround it , once your in the main streets it a differnt story plus its much cheaper than sunny beach. sorry if i sound like a holiday rep but i would reccommend bulgaria for a holiday.
:tup talk soon tina

im sure you read my post so you know something about the place. if your single its still worth the visit usually july/august is the time for young people to visit. there are 3 really good dicsos one is called orange and seems really popular. there is supposed to be another one opening soon that people were talking about when we were there that is supposed to be better than all the rest. i have a friend going over there next week so i will ask them to find out more about it!! beer is very cheap and there are hundreds of bars :cheers to choose from. the place is not perfect though :( although most of the bulgarian people are very nice some of them can be very rude and biggest complaint i have with them is that they do try and rip you off when handing change back to you so watch out for that :think but apart from that it is a great place to go to for both young and old.
hope this helps you :)

Hi, im John,

Been to Bulgaria for the last 7 years.
Usually go to golden Sands but Balkan wrote to us saying we would be flying to Bourgas and transferring to golden sands, so we changed to stay in Sunny Beach.
Glad we did, i loved it.
Spent a fortune on the golf buggies.
They have a couple at Alba hotel with nice big chunky tyres which were my favourites.
40 lev an hour though.
Even got the grape sellers trying to give me grapes when i was driving.
Going to the Grand Hotel Oasis next year, cant wait

Hi Tina,

There are so many places to see - it really depends on your own preferences.

If you look through this thread, you will find some ideas, e.g. Manfred's (Bulgarienfan) posts & photos.

I tend to spend most of the summer in North-East Bugaria, but the less overdeveloped Southern resorts (if there are any left after the building frenzy) which run down to the Turkish border are possibly worth a visit, as is somewhere like Veliko Tarnovo, if you are into history/culture. The relatively nearby (to Sunny Beach) city of Stara Zagora has a long history, going back to the Thracian period.

if you are looking for a quieter but nice place to visit on the coast, have a look at Sozopol (30km south of Bourgas), its similar to Nessebar in places and the Beaches both to the North and to the South are Beautiful.

Hi my name is Mandy and with my partner Paul and our 4 kids we are The Roberts Clan.

We have just gone and booked our first holiday to Bulgaria but don't actually go until July 2011. Really looking forward to it and found this forum useful when checking out where to stay etc. we're more used to roughing it camping under canvas across europe and the uk so having 4 walls and a bathroom never mind a balcony will seem like heaven!!!
