Grifid Hotel Bolero

I spent in hotel Bolero second week of October 2018 with my husband and two children. We went there prepared that there won’t be many attractions off season. But to our huge surprise hotel staff did their best to make our vacations pleasant. Animations were still on. Both for children and adults. Even the outdoor water slides for children opened couple of times during the week. And the board games on rainy mornings were a great idea! Our kids loved the Mini Disco and we all enjoyed evening shows in the bar. We got family room which was tastefully arranged and very clean. So was the whole hotel. Now the food… after this vacations I need to go on a diet because it was so good and there was so much of it ;) If I must find any let downs that would be a lot of wasps and sparrows showing up whenever you ate or drunk something outside. But I wouldn't really blame hotel for that. It's just nature. Thanks Hotel Bolero for a lovely off season vacations :)

Overall a great family holiday! We loved the climate in August, hot during the day and cooler at night. The food in the main restaurants was good but the food in the a la carte restaurants was much better and the Asian was superb! The on site water park is great but it is worth pointing out that the minimum height to go on the rides is 1.3m with a signed waiver or 1.4m without. So children under this height can only use the smaller rides which are more for toddlers if you know what I mean. The main pool area is looking dated and in need of a refurb as there were a number of broken and raised tiles with a lot of falls from adults and kids when we were there but I was informed that the pool area was due for a refurb late 2018/early2019. The rooms were a little dated but very spacious and met our needs perfectly as they were clean and tidy everyday. Entertainment throughout the day and night was superb in my opinion. From early morning entertaining the kids to late at night entertaining the adults! The whole team work really hard. A big thank you to Justin and his team for keeping our whole family entertained over a two week period. Mini disco is great for the kids, every night!! still can't get them bloody songs out of my head!! Witch Doctor............. lol Cocktails and other drinks were great and plentiful as was the mini bar in the room. Mojito's were to die for!! Excellent guest relation team. Very helpful and very polite as were the reception staff. English guests were the minority but to be honest this is how we quite like it. My closing thoughts are that this place is definitely worth a try.

A quality hotel run with attentive staff and an eye for detail. Meticulously clean and maintained. Well kept grounds and clean pools, ample sun beds with comfort mattresses and plenty of umbrellas. Well stocked main restaurant, plenty of variation over the week. A La Carte restaurants come highly recommend. We ate at the Asian and The Brazilian Steakhouse, both incredible. The Grill restaurant on the upper level quieter with smaller selection, also long trousers not required, more relaxed. Chicken kebabs are fantastic ,pancakes huge and delicious. Beer is a lovely crisp lager, red wine very nice as is the sparkling wine. Water park excellent if a bit limited but does the job. Lovely beach 100yds away with free sun beds, two per room and a parasol. Beach bar available, drinks only. Decent gym with quality cardio machines, resistance machines and free weights. Hard working animation team, shows are not West end productions but entertaining in a bizarre way. Very lively promenade with many bars, shops etc. No hassle from street hawkers , bar touts. Best value meal, turn left to ‘Magdalena’s’ by the harbour, cold beer, fresh salads and grilled fish /meat. Two of us ate and drank for under £25, outstanding value. Lots of nations present, I’d say predominantly French/German but lots of Belgian, Bulgarian and Russian. British in the minority, only seven others but English is the first spoken language and they’re are keen to expand this area. Search out the hotels public relation representative, his name is Dimo, a credit to himself and The Bolero, a hard working, charming , attentive young man who can sort anything out. Try Bulgaria and The Bolero, you may be surprised, I was.
