Hotel Estraya Palace Reviews

eThe Hotel Estraya Palace is a reasonably new hotel which generally is well maintained. The lobby is very small and there is nowhere to stay if the weather is poor. Any entertainment is held in the dining room, whether people are eating or not!!. The rooms are all well furnished, wallpaper on the walls and very well appointed bathrooms, fully tiled and well maintained. Very nice grounds and pool area(2 pools). Try not to get a room on the 4th floor, this is in the attic space with dormer windows and no balcony although they have a better view than all the others. Be warned, there is an outside eating area which is for smokers. there is a waitress in attendance but she wil not clean or lay tables. This is the thing that lets this hotel down, the restaurant staff are very bad at their jobs. They will not work fast to clear or lay tables, they stand around talking or dissapear completely. They dont seem to have a clue how to look after guests. Even the Germans were complaining and this is a German owned hotel.On the other hand the cleaners were fantastic. They made little designs from the bedclothes everyday, swans, flowers etc. very nice.

Hi folks well bulgaria sounded a bit scary at first booked holiday on internet didnt no anyone who had been b4 but thought oh well sod it!!!
well wat a pleasant surprise we stayed in a resort called SAINT CONSTANTINE about 12km from sunny beach the hotel was 4star only built last year spotless throughout staff friendly only niggles were language barrier but soon got past that,hotel food was not bad considering there were mainly germans in the hotel but those we spoke 2 were very nice!.

resort itself bout 5min walk from the beach these not quite med standard but sea very nice and clean.
small hippy market near hotels open all day good 4 bargain hunters, the whole resort also surrounded by woodland very pretty and unusual not wot we xpected.
one word of advice watch the taxi drivers if u get in cab make sure they use the meter otherwise if u ask 4 a fixed fare they will always treble it!!

St Konstantin is a very quiet resort, a little run-down but I'd gone for a peaceful break and returned feeling very relaxed. I'd say it was more for older couples and wouldn't recommend it for single travellers - one place refused to serve me as a woman on my own, and I felt a bit uncomfortable walking round the centre in the evenings.

The Hotel Estreya is very clean and the restaurant staff were welcoming and pleasant, but the hotel has little else going for it. The food was disgusting and sometimes unidentifiable. The same dessert was offered every day: plain yoghurt, tinned cherries, chocolate biscuits, and just to make the point we got them for breakfast as well. The reception staff don't speak English. The hotel has no lounge or indoor bar and the public indoor seating consists of a settee in the lounge and one by the exchange desk. If it rains you just have to sit in your room!

As for Balkan Holidays - I'd never travel with them again. I'd pre-booked a spa package and their rep (who spoke very little English) said he knew nothing about it and was completely unhelpful. He didn't even know if there was a pharmacy in the resort! (Yes, there is, a very good one.)He provided no details were provided about being picked up for the return journey home and my airline ticket had the wrong departure time printed on it.

St Konstantin is a place with its own charm and if I'd stayed in a better hotel with a decent tour operator I'd have enjoyed it a lot more.
