Good location

A little bit dated

Lots to like here. Excellent location just yards from the superb South Beach. Great sea view - if you keep your eye line up away from road level (see below for further info on this). Two balconies. Comfortable bed, ample wardrobe space, good shower. Air conditioning in both living area & bedroom. Small but very good pool - well maintained & quite a lot of sunbeds/deckchairs & shady umbrellas. Indeed the whole building & grounds are really well looked after. Liked the security of the site with fob access to entrance gate & lift. Close to numerous restaurants & a decent little supermarket. Good transport links with bus stops at the end of the street. Pleasant manager.

Back to the view. Though it is isn’t the fault of Kristal Beach it was hard to overlook the large ramshackle yard immediately below us, which seemed to be where beach refuse was collected & taken to plus piles of sun loungers in various stead of repair. Dilapidated to the point of looking virtually abandoned. It really was an eyesore in an otherwise great view. The pictures shown on Booking.com do not reflect what we actually saw from our balcony. No sign of all the wrecked sunbeds & large overflowing skips. I don’t know when these were taken (& presumably supplied by Kristal Beach) or if there was a special tidy up for them! On a similar theme were the large overflowing municipal rubbish skips & piles of black bin bags surrounding them. Regarding the apartment we would have liked slightly more comfortable seating on the balcony & in the living area. For the price paid we’d have expected a little more luxury/comfort. The apartment could sleep 4 with the sofa bed but this was the only comfy seating & would certainly be cosy for 4! For 2 it was okay.

The view.

It is close to the beach. There are cutlery and other kitchen stuff, that may come in handy. The room is spacious, it has good A/C, and is cool during the night.

When we first entered the room it had really bad odour. All the closets, wardrobe and cupboards smelled really bad. There is no lift to this floor, as it is bellow ground floor. It gets really noisy, because the apartment door does not isolate outside noises. Also the maiding service is very poor. For 8 nights, they cleaned the room only once. We couldn’t cope with their working hours. My advice is to leave the room before 10 am, or no cleaning will be provided. They did actually changed the sheets once on our second day, and brought fresh towels twice during our stay.

Really nice apartment, with a clean and spacious pool. Everyday cleaning was a nice surprise for me. In my opinion the best location in Nessebar for a family holiday.

The parking is a little hectic, so if you have your car with you, it will require a little bit more logistics.

Location is great. Just a few steps from the beach and great restaurant - Fast Food Golden Dune. The apartment itself was cozy. The lady who checked us in was very kind and helpful, gave us some extra tp and plastic cups since this is not a hotel and doesn't come with all amenities as usual. Bring your own shampoo and toothpaste. Make sure to use fan in the bathroom since the humidity is above 70%. I'm not sure if you can ask for extra towels but we had our own as well, so it worked out well.

Parking scam alert!!!! Parking scam alert!!!!! On the website it says that there is a parking available on the side across the street for 12 leva. When we got there the girl at the parking told us it is 15 leva and that they have some kind of new system and don't know how to charge us per day instead per hour. When we supposed to leave after two days there were an old guy at the gate and said he must change us per hour (48hours), which I disagree and told him to call his manager or police but I will not pay 150 leva because this is a rip-off and that wasn't the agreement. After that thanks to my big mouth he printed a receipt for 30 leva but refuse to accept card payment and I gave him cash. And he kept us at the gate for another maybe 10 min. He wanted to change us 150 leva, put 30 leva in the cash register and pocket the rest. Be aware of parking scam. Especially if you don't speak Bulgarian!!!!! Make sure and record the conversation!!!!

Location

I was in the one of the basement studios and mouldy smell was coming from the mattresses and pillows when laying on the bed. Could not sleep properly.

Very close to the beach. Big nice and clean rooms. You have anything you need to cook a meal.

No wifi in the pool area:(
