Trakata Beach

It says all inclusive but don’t let it fool you. I knew that this place was joke when we arrived. It felt like none of the workers didn’t have slightest clue how to work in hotel. For example our passports were left unattended on counter while we took our stuff to the room. Room AC didn’t work. I also didn’t like our balcony was shared with other room. Drinks were the biggest joke. Soft drinks were completely passed, warm, disqusting. There were 3 taps of beer: one at pool bar, one at restaurant and one at sky bar. None of them had any beer during our stay. Only alcoholic drinks were random spirits mixed with the same bland warm soft drinks. I felt also that they don’t clean the glasses well. Twice the bartender just poured to dirty glass. Remarks about swimming pool: Filthy water, also dangerous for kids due to missing floor drain cover and some broken tiles. I enjoyed to swim however after hot day. The best part of the hotel is view from Sky bar. I wish though someone would have told the existence of it, we found it when it was already dark. One last thing: the drone photo shows mainly neighbour hotels premises. This got me fooled thinking that it would be bigger holiday complex.. Dinner was not horrible, about school lunch level though. Make sure to be in queue when food is served, it will run out eventually. Breakfast was very simple but passable. I’m glad our stay was just one night. I can’t believe seems like travel agencies are arranging package tours here..

We had a great time and a positive experience in general. The location of the hotel is perfect - close to the beach and the main strip. At the same time it's in the quiet more family-oriented part of the resort and it was quiet at night. The food was quite nice as well and there were beer, drinks and ice-cream/snacks throughout the day. The negatives - this is not a 4 star hotel. It looks and feels more like a 3* hotel. On the balcony there were rust spots and bird poo which was not cleaned. The comfort of the room also didn't feel like a 4* experience. In addition, there were not enough Shezlongs on the beach so unless you got up really early in the morning you had to either put your towel on the sand or pay 15 euro for the paid Shezlongs next to the hotel area on the beach.

This hotel is part of a large complex of about six hotels. Half of which are closed. It is at the far end and is the smallest and closest to the beach. There is no pool so you have to use the one two hotels further along. There are plenty of sunbeds on local beaches and the terrace. The lobby is very attractive and our room, which had a large balcony, was comfortable, clean and well appointed. The food is plentiful but uninspiring - not dissimilar to motorway service area standard. The hot food is generally tepid, but soups and salad were good. The reception and room cleaning staff were friendly and helpful, but the majorly of the restaurant staff were surly and unsmiling. The vast majorly of guests were Romanians and Bulgarians, with a small number of Germans. However, most staff speak some English and all the signage is in English. Overall we enjoyed our stay but the hotel is certainly not 4* standard and is overpriced.
