Impressions of Golden Sands
Golden Sands is the second largest resort in Bulgaria after Sunny Beach. Vacationers love the picturesque nature, beautiful sandy beaches, good all-inclusive hotels and plenty of nightlife. The resort is famous for health tourism. The balneological center “Ambassador” helps people with arthritis, neuroses, chronic bronchitis and pharyngitis. According to the feedback from the tourists, the noise at night is one of the disadvantages of a vacation at Golden Sands.
Latailes: “The advantage of the resort is a short flight and, importantly for us, the absence of the language barrier. Almost everyone speaks Russian, in any case will understand you for sure.
Valmictar99: “I am not a fan of noisy crowded resorts, so I would never choose Golden Sands for a holiday.

If you want to live without the noise of discos and bars, choose a hotel or guest house on the 2-3 lines from the sea or on the outskirts of the resort. Look for accommodation in Golden Sands on Hotelluk.

Beaches at Golden Sands
According to tourist reviews, the beaches at the Golden Sands resort are so good that you can spend the whole day on them. In some places, the sandy shore reaches a width of 100 meters. The entrance to the sea is gentle, so it is convenient to rest here with small children. Children especially like Riviera beach, and the youth beach Mojito.
There are no paid recreational areas on the beach. With your own towel or air mattress you can settle down anywhere. Keep in mind that in July and August there are so many holidaymakers that it’s hard to find free spots near the beach after 10:00. The rent of a beach chair costs 5 €, a sun umbrella – also 5 €.
Pacha1985: “The sand on the beach is fine golden. Not as fine as in Tunisia, of course, but quite decent sandy beaches.

Attractions
The resort is young, so there are no historical sights in Golden Sands. The hotels are surrounded by the Golden Sands Nature Park. It stretches for 9.2 km and is about 1.2 km wide. There are marked trails for children and elderly tourists and bicycle trails along the protected area. Not far from the resort there is a medieval monastery Aladzha.
We advise you not to spend money on an excursion to Varna. From Golden Sands to Varna there is a bus number 409 which takes only half an hour. Go for a walk through the beautiful streets and interesting places and buy fresh fruit at the market!
Okunevasveta: “The main excursion is to the Old Town of Nessebar on the island. Not to go there – not to be in Bulgaria.

Holidays with children
Golden Sands is considered one of the best Bulgarian resorts for an inexpensive and high-quality vacation with children. It is loved for its excellent climate, warm shallow sea, comfortable hotels and a lot of entertainment. The resort has a water park, a climbing wall and a shooting gallery for children.
Svetlana and Alexander: “We went as a family at the end of June. It was already the peak season, a lot of children, crowded beaches and lines at the attractions. It is noteworthy that the price for a vacation in Bulgaria is much lower than in Anapa or Sochi. But there is a little different atmosphere, cuisine and attractions.
Aleksey: “Aquapolis is a great water park, comfortable, clean and neat everywhere. Everyone will find something to do here. There are pools and slides for children and adults.

When to go
The bathing season at the Golden Sands resort begins in late May – early June, as almost everywhere else in Bulgaria. For children, the water in the Black Sea warms up in the second half of June.
In contrast to the resorts of the Mediterranean, in Bulgaria there is no severe heat. In July and August the temperature is +28 ° C and sea water +24 … +26 ° C. In autumn the sea cools down slowly, so it is pleasant to swim in Golden Sands all September. Even in early October, on sunny and windless days vacationers enjoy swimming in the sea.
Autumn at the resort is not rainy, but in November the average day temperature is +13 ° C. It’s time for the low season!
88SobTV: “My vacation was in early June. At this time in Bulgaria it is calm and quiet: the beaches are free, the sea is clean, the sun is gentle, the price tag is not high, and excursions are working at full speed. It’s a paradise for those who prefer a quiet holiday.

Conclusions: is it worth to go to Golden Sands
According to the reviews of tourists, Golden Sands will suit everyone who likes to rest in cities and is not afraid of crowded beaches. The popular Bulgarian resort is very well located. From the airport to the hotel you get in 30 minutes.
Although there is no industry in Golden Sands, the sea water here is not too clean. In reviews vacationers complain about the unpleasant smell, household garbage and algae.
In addition to beach holidays, in Golden Sands you can go water skiing, diving, surfing, play paintball, golf and bowling. Some come to play in the biggest casino in Bulgaria Casino International.
