Elenite, Holiday Village Villas Review

Overall Rating

Close to the beach with life guards on duty all day. Maid service was daily and very thorough.
Weather was very good and so to was the beach. Recommend trip to the Dolphinariam and Khans Tent, both trips very good value for money.

Lots of steps, Food, Hygeine in the restaurants, staff were very ignorant and rude.

I stayed at the Elenite Holiday Village Villas in June 2004. There was Lots of steps, not suitable for the elderly or pushchairs. Food was not up to standard and they didn't cater for children. Hygiene was disgusting in the restaurants. Birds were nesting in the ceiling above all the tables, bird droppings were frequently on the dining tables. Cleaning was taking place during meal times and not after the meals had finished. There were only two bars in which you could get alcoholic short drinks from, not even the restaurants served them with meals. It was beer or wine. Ice-cream was only available in one place on the whole complex. In the two weeks we were there they ran out of beer twice and ice-creams. Children's pool was out of use for two days while they cleaned and filled it. The only things available at the beach bar were beer, soft drinks, hot dogs and bacon and cheese roll, which they never seemed to have! This was infested with flies all the time. All the staff were very ignorant and rude. Reception staff were not interested in helping; they just pleaded ignorant to speaking English and walked off. I could go on but haven't got time!!

  I visited the same resort 1 month later and standards have greatly improved. Although the nesting birds are everywhere, I saw no bird dropping on tables; food was great and hot saw temp testing on a number of occasions. The all inclusive idea from Spain has not yet been developed in Bulgaria but there was availability all the time. I feel too ice cream could have been more wide avail but overall I thought I had a peaceful relaxing time. British people should stop expecting British holidays abroad. Bulgarians speak Bulgarian!!! Bulgarians cook Bulgarian food. You should go to Blackpool.

  We visited his resort in sept o3 although the food was a bit iffi the staff were more than friendly and helpful at all times, the resort was clean and we did not encounter the birds at all in the eating area's. The entertainment was in german but they all left the main nightspot at 10 o'clock on the spot. The beach was manned by lifeguards at all times they even returned my purse which I left by accident on the beach and nothing was taken from it.
  At the time we went there were a lot of german tourists, which bulgaria caters for , over all we had a good time.
