We have just had 2 weeks at this wonderful hotel. Food very good, staff excellent, rooms lovely. Very quiet, but anything you want in the way of entertainment is just 5 mins away, as is the excellent clean beach. Would not hesitate to recommend this excellent hotel to anyone.

So glad to see your recent review of the Hotel Orpheus in Bulgaria. The only reviews I have seen have been a couple of years old. I am booked to go next year in June for 2 weeks and was pleased to see that the hotel is quiet and clean with good food. It puts my mind at rest that I have chosen correctly!! Thanks a lot!

We stayed at the Orpheus two years ago and are going back there on the 29/7/07. It is a lovely hotel and we really had a nice holiday there, the staff are friendly and the hotel very clean and as someone said you are 5 mins from everything.

we stayed in hotel orpheus sunny beach june 2008, the hotel was fantastic, we learnt it recently had new management the hotel is very good and clean for a 3 star, we had a family suite with 2 rooms and 2 balconies, the breakfast consists of, cereal, fruit, a toaster, a kettle and a cooked breakfast of you choice. The evening meal is 3 course with soup and bread for starters.(a choice of two soups) a mini starter garlic mushrooms, calamari then a cooked main meal, then a dessert either cake or ice cream, the waiter vwardy cant speak much english and defo doesnt understand it, he just smiles all the time, Annie is lovely she has a good understanding of english. I happened to get a bug out there, and was really ill for over nine hours being sick with the runs its v doubtful it came from the hotel? my husband went to reception and they called for a consultant from the local hospital within 10 mins!! yes 10 mins!! an ambulance arrived with an english translator a nurse came with them and i was given a glucose drip and anti-sickness injections in my botty cheek, now the needles are a little larger than the uk, but their magic worked in half hour, my advice if you get sick get the doctor quickly!! our insurance was marks and spencer they pay out directly to the hospital over there so you pay nothing just make sure you choose policy excess aswell, it costs about £50 for a family of 5 which is brilliant my treatment must of been near the £1000 mark at least.
as for sunny beach the sand was hot to walk on, the sea lovely the weather from june 5th-19th was in the 30%26#39;s all the time, when it rains its a monsoon but doesnt last long, the people a bit over friendly on the front trying to pull you into bars and you get sick of saying no..
DONT use taxis they rip you off, use bus to nesebar its 1lev per person, aquapark has free bus to take you, but doesnt fetch you back!!
good copied clothes out there, diesel, victoria beckham, belts,
DONT buy fresh cut up fruit in beakers on beach you can be poisoned, pancakes are nice, and a massive must is the jacket pototoes..(they were the nicest i have ever tasted) quite pricey to eat in resturant for family of five!!
we went with balkan and they really look after you, if you want anymore info sherry_richardson@hotmail.com
they are due to join the eu 2009 so all is set to change, average wage for bulgarian £8 per day, the staff in orpheus usually work 8am till 1am they dont have a day off, throughout the season then they go to the mountains for the winter ski season to work.
Dont travel to bourgas, its not nice people their live in condemned high rise flats, lots of kiddies beggin i walked round bourgas with a lump in my throat,no wonder they wanna live here in uk i dont blame them!
we were never mugged, attacked had anything robbed or saw any prostitutes, dont listen to alot of what you read on the internet cus i panicked terribly the day we set off, but we loved it, the orpheus is quite posh, very clean aswell..

Hi there just thought I would pass my comments on about sunny beach, stayed at the Orpheus 2yrs ago, it%26#39;s a lovely hotel the staff are great, annie at the bar is sweet,previously we stayed at the Victoria palace the following year the Alba, but the Orpheus was by far the best, evening meal was not much to shout about, but best bit was a sunbed for everyone (went first 2 wks in august) Would not return to bulgaria though because we all (4 adults 2 children) suffered tummy bugs (don%26#39;t think Orpheus caused it) My brother actually thought he was going to die he was that ill he was in bed for 3 days, so its back to the med for us Rhodes last year Lanzarote this year.
