Elenite Holiday Reviews

Found the resort of Elenite and location to be ok and you can always catch a bus or get a taxi into nearby much more busier and hustly Sunny beach

The beach is nice but you need to start looking after the volley ball pitch as nearer the Royal Bay it's rocky.

Nice pool although not the warmest.

You have to queue for drinks and they have a habit of shutting early. Stefan the main barman was surly at best. Top tip get a big tankard (pint+) and keep hold of it, it seems to annoy him immensely.

Food, very samey, things like chicken and lamb looked more like road kill. I tended to stick to the kids processed food. If you want a beer with your food expect a long wait. Lots of the tables were dirty so it was quite a feat to find a clean one that was set. The high chair was falling to bits.

Weather fine

If you want to watch sports, best bet is Paco's bar out of the complex, where you have to pay but it's 2 Lev for a pint so cheap.

Animation Hall, bit naff, but okay if you like watching folk miming.

Formation towel bomb raids at 7am and not just by the usual suspects, not sure why folk feel the need to have loungers for kids who don't use them or folk who feel the need to take up a lounger all day when they are on the beach? Quite a few wasps about, esp where folk have knocked over sweet drinks of course. Nice touch was the bins had lids otherwise it would have been unbearable.

Nessabar a nice boat trip day out (found a geocache also)

Cheap cigarettes

No cars about which is nice re the bairns

Nice holiday makers there to chat with and moan about the room rip off and surly barman, which passed the time as there's not a whole heap to do.

Overall worst holiday I've ever had, amazed Thomas Cook want anything to do with the place, shame as it wouldn't take much to make it really good.

Have been to Bulgaria before and would go back again but not for a gold clock would I go to the Royal Bay.

Lovely beaches and sea, nice quiet resort ideal for families who want o enjoy the sea and sun and relax

Worst possible place I’ve ever been! The place is very cheap built and looks old, broken up and dusty. This is definitely not a 4 star hotel! The TV in the room is smallest ever and there are only 5 channels to watch with worst possible quality. All the drinks in the restaurant and at the “lobby bar” are tampered and diluted with water. The food in the restaurant is the cheapest and worst possible. There is no room service. The beds are terrible and the bathrooms are dirty and stinky. Visitors are being moved without any asking from their space on the beach in order to accommodate suspicious “VIP” guests!!!

There are swimming pools all over.The sea is lovely and calmer in the morning.They also have their own aqua park.Beware of the 2 Extreme water slides at the end.(They are better for adults)But there are so many great slides for kids and a baby pool with slides. Imagine a Haven Holiday in Bulgaria,where the entertainments team(Animation team) must speak about four languages and try to accomodate the needs of about six different countries.They do stuff during the days with adults and stuff for kids.Plus they do a full show at night.All of the team are fantastic and speak good English.They could do with a bit more of the support at night from the good citizens of the UK.The only day they get off is Sunday. The whole complex is so full of cleaners sweeping and cleaning all day every day that I couldn't bring myself to leave a cigarette stub on the floor anywhere. I truly don't believe that any of the cleaners are thieves.The only stroppy people we met were the Russians..And believe me It's full of Russians. The complex is behind walls with massive iron gates that stay closed.We felt completely safe at all times.But we still wouldn't leave children on their own.It's totally for families of all ages.I don't think it's a lads only holiday at all. Sunny Beach is more for younger parties. The NEW MANAGER OF THE COMPLEX is really approachable and has worked so hard to do well this year.His name is EMIL !! Right now,let's get on to the food halls.We stayed in the Villas so our main restaurant was the Nessebar. If you go hungry then it's YOUR OWN fault.There is so much food to chose from.Some of it you'll recognise but some you won't have seen before.Try it you may be surprised. I seriously one of the fussiest people you'd ever meet but I was not hungry.The great thing is that I also lost a bit of weight.I tried lots of different things that I didn't like the look of but they tasted good.Just try a mouthful of things then when you decide what you like you can fill your plate.I ate constantly but I only ate little bits.The food hall is open for 3 hours till 9pm so we went and had a little food about 6pm and again before it closed.It opens 3 times a day.We also found the hot dog and pannini food bars were open all day so even babies didn't go hungry. We had the best two weeks of rest and relaxation.We ideally want to go for three weeks next year.

you will love it................ Please please dont listen to people saying it rubbish its not.... the water park is just great, the only thing i would say is that pushchairs wernt thought about really but dont let that put you off, 10/10

would go back good for kids

loved the area and the sunshine, but the food ruined an otherwise good holiday

We went all inclusive so other than a visit to the Irish Bar which was expensive for drinks I cannot comment on Food and drink. In fact other than the other hotels in the group there is nowhere else to eat out at the resort itself.

Do not visit this place!!

We were on a 3 hotel complex so the above ratings do not apply. Eating out - there is a wooden shack at the other side of the car park 'Pacos' which sold food we could eat!

not much round elenite it costs £30 to get to sunny beach and back mcdonalds is even dearer than at home

We had a great catermaran trip out with good food, great hosts and wonderful sunshine. Elenite was peaceful, wonderful beaches and great spa and something for everyone.

to have a decent meal or night out we had to travel to nessebar or sunnybeach
