Festa Via Pontica

The 10 days at Festa Via Pontica provided us with the rest we needed. The all-inclusive rate provided a good variety of food and drink. The staff were helpful and friendly. Entertainment was provided for children and adults and there was an interesting wine-tasting evening with an a la carte menu. We thought it was good value for money and it was a benefit having such a short transfer time. The hotel had guests from a wide range of nations. Pontica is still developing as a resort and there isn't a great deal there, but it's not far from Nesebar and Burgas and we enjoyed days out to them, but we chose the hotel primarily on its price and faciities and really enjoyed our holiday there.

The hotel is a good place to be in . Unfortunately if you don't want any surprises you need to consider another place for your holiday. Please note that the hotel organise outside events in the night and use their restaurant as Disko Club from 00.00 to early mornings 4 or 5 am . The half of the restaurant will be closed the same night and the guest are made to wait for the dinner as there is not enough space. The music is so loud that the glasses that were on the table in our room 522 on the 5th floor was shaking and making noises. No one mentioned anything to us before the event. With one word the hotel doesn't care about his guests as they had their money. Really disappointed after the money we paid.....

Just back from a week in pomorie at this lovely hotel. From the minute we arrived the hotel exceeded all expectations. We found the room to very tastefully refurbished to a high standard. The cleaner came in every day and towels changed as often as you liked. The hotel staff are all excellent and work extremely hard. The all inclusive buffet was mainly good although a few tweaks would make it better. The food needs to be replenished more frequently and checked for drying out but easily rectified. The grounds and pool areas are immaculate and never any problems getting a sunbed. Definitely deserves more than 3 stars Well done everyone

We were greeted warmly when we arrived, we were earlier than check in time but were able to use the dining room while we waited. Our room was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. Great powerful shower with instant hot water, shampoo and body wash supplied . Air con and mini fridge with some free goodies. TV has a couple of English channels but one is dubbed with Polish. Balcony was large and we were provided with an airer for wet swimwear and towels. Cleaners come round daily if you want your room cleaned, towels available everyday on request. We went all inclusive and the food was standard with grill cooking each night. Fresh fruit, cold meats, cheeses, breakfast items, salads and cooked foods available along with desserts and tea, coffee and bar. There are 2 bars in the lobby, although not many seats for the amount of guests. Drinks are standard local beer, no non-alcoholic options but mocktails and soft drinks readily available as well as hot drinks. All inclusive lets you book an a la carte meal once a week, this was served in the wine cellar and was a nice experience. You are served a number of wines and the host tells you about the wines and the history of the winery. Pool areas are clean and maintained, 3 fresh water pools with a smaller children’s pool, cold but once you’re in it’s fine! BBQ restaurant and bar around the pool area. There’s an indoor heated pool in the spa area, which offers treatments at an extra cost. Games area for kids, entertainment staff through the day and night. Nighttime entertainment is generally bingo, quizzes or shuffleboard. There was a Bulgarian folk dancing night as well. There’s not much to do around the hotel, the beach is 5 minutes walk away and there’s a great restaurant on the beachfront on the right past Penelope Palace. There’s also a beach bar. You can get a bus if you walk about 10 minutes from the hotel that takes you to Nessebar and Sunny Beach - the number 10. There’s also a number 1 just outside Sunset Resort that takes you to Pomorie Old Town. There’s a supermarket behind the hotel which sells everything from water to suncream and next door is the Dublin Bar but this wasn’t open until later in June. All in all a good holiday, nice and relaxing and everything you need to chill and enjoy your break.

The hotel was just like the photos on the internet, we were not expecting them to be as good but we were pleasantly surprised.We were greeted by the lovely Aneliya who is the guest relations Manager She was so friendly throughout the trip and we cannot thank her enough for going above and beyond. We would definitely recommend this hotel and the staff, especially Anelilya.

On arrival the hotel was more than we expected fromjust looking online. The Food choices were good, with lots of variety. All of the food was fresh and tasty. The staff were attentive and happy to help. Aneliya -Guest Relations Manager was the 1st happy smiling face we saw when we entered the hotel. Aneliya made us aware of what was happening in the hotel in including wine tasting/al le carte meal evening- Which was an amazing night. During our stay Aneliya was always a pleasure to speak to, she ensured that we had got the most out of our stay. Big thanks to Aneliya and all the other staff.
