    Good Points: Ralitsa 4* - Lovely, clean air conditioned rooms.
    Extremely clean surroundings. Pool excellent, also choice of three - sunbed always available!
    Restaurant very clean with good choices of food (which suited 2 fussy boys!).


    Bad Points: Entertainment at night very limited. Quiet in evenings but suited us.


    General comments: Balkan 4* Ralitsa excellent - not to be mixed up with Ralitsa 3" with First Choice. First package holiday we had for ten years but with three children, 14, 13 & 9, we certainly have no complaints at all. Hotel great, very clean. Food excellent, lots of choice - something for everybody. One private pool for Ralitsa 4* which tended to be mostly Germans but ok and very clean and peaceful. You also had a choice of a further two pools which the kids perfered as they were busier but also occupied by the Ralitsa 3* so quite noisy. Only a 5 - 10 minutes walk to beach (or free bus service every half hour) and 5 minutes walk to the main street in Albena.
    This holiday wouldn't suit if you wanted lots of entertainment at night. There was one show which lasted 45 minutes and that was it. At 11 pm the all inclusive drinks stopped and basically it was bed time!
    Would certainly recommend this holiday.

    This was our first all inclusive holiday to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. On arrival at the Hotel Relitsa in Albena, all seemed OK. We did not know what to expect. This was at 04.30am. At 08:15am we were awake due to the noise of either cleaners or children. The walls were very thin. The food was not up to our standards, and we found the selection very poor. Breakfast and dinner was not an option. Our evening meals consisted of a banana sandwich and some fruit. This was after 5 days du ...

    After reading all the hotel reviews, we were somewhat apprehensive about staying here. We are a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children aged 9 and 11.

    We stayed in the 4 Star Ralitsa Superior, Albena, Bulgaria and had a lovely time!

    We flew out with First Choice and were not impressed with the miserable staff and unsuitable so-called family film shown, rated 15!

    The 4 star hotel is lovely and clean. It is surrounded by trees, so there is plenty of shade. Our family room was perfect, 2 en ...

    I have just come back from Bulgaria and I stayed at the Ralitsa Hotel. Before going on holiday I had read a lot of negative comments about the hotel which made me a little pesimistic. However I cannot see why because everything was immaculate and clean at the hotel. Our travel company were first choice and we had two reps. They were at the hotel 7 days a week and if you had any problems or queries they were very helpful. The hotel staff were also friendly and didn't favour any guest. There was a ...

    There are 2 hotels with the same name (Hotel Ralitsa) in Albena, Bulgaria. One is 3* (First Choice), and the other is 4* (Bulkan). The 3* are not allowed into certain areas of the complex, or certain pools. The all inclusive finishes @ 11pm. The entertainment is in a school hall, with chairs in rows and no drinks allowed. If you do get a seat outside for a cocktail show, the Germans stand in front of you, around the dance floor and you can't see anything. We ended up spending a lot of time ou ...

    Myself and my family stayed at the Hotel Ralitsa in Albena, Bulgaria for 2 weeks, and we had a fantastic holiday. The pool was brilliant, and so was our First Choice Rep. The bar staff were also lovely. The resort isn't the biggest, but I feel it is good for families, especially those with younger children, and getting to Golden Sands costs about 40 lev return. Food at the Ralitsa was good and offered a good choice.

    It wasn't very happy with reception staff, and they definitely treated the ...

    The Hotel Ralitsa in Bulgaria is a lovely place, and the cleanest hotel we have ever stayed in. The food was great and the bar staff were very good, except I am sure that they are told to serve the Germans first. Don't go out late at night on your own.

    I have heard a lot of bad things about the food at the Hotel Ralitsa in Bulgaria, but it was excellent with lots of choice and not under cooked. The staff were very friendly, and we went out with them on some occasions. There was always room by the pool. The resort is a bit quiet, and more suited to older people or families. I would definitely go again.

    I came back from the Ralista last friday I went with my mum, dad and my best friend.
    We meet loads of people and made freinds with a few of the bar/ waitering staff. Specaily dido he was brill. Before we went I read some of the reviews on the net I noticed that some people said the food wasn't very nice but I thought it was I ate every night and was never ill.
    The town isn't a long walk either only about 5- 10 mins. There's a great night club just down the hill were most of the teenagers from ...

    Albena, Hotel Ralitsa - We had seen reviews on the internet before we went saying food not good, etc. However, the food was great - lots of Bulgarian choices.

    The pools were great and you could always find a sunbed around the quieter pool.

    Two children aged 6/7 made many friends and were sorry to be coming home.

    Excellent value for money.

    Albena, Hotel Ralitsa - This is an excelent family hotel, with a huge free-form pool, and a very hard working animation team. The food is good, although some people may not like the fact that the main restaurant doesn't serve chips - they're available from the snack bars only.
    Rooms are a good size, and very clean. The hotel is a 10-minute walk to the resort centre, although there is a courtesy bus, as well as the local "noddy" train.
