An introduction to Hotel Riu Helios Bay

This Bulgarian beauty is one of our most popular hotels - and it’s easy to see why. Set right on Obzor Beach, it places the Golden Sands and crystal waters of the Black Sea right at your feet. But it’s not just the fabulous location that has holiday-goers rushing for their passports, the hotel itself more than holds its own. After you’ve marvelled at the design of the place – all sparkling lights and marble floors splashed with a contemporary feel - there’s plenty to get stuck into. Take the swimming pools, for instance. The main one’s shaped like a number ‘8’ and is just the ticket whether you want to practice your front crawl or float lazily on a lilo. And around the pool terrace you’ll find enough sunloungers to keep an army looking bronzed, so there’s no need to set your alarm to reserve a spot in the sun. The indoor pool, meanwhile, is the ideal place for a few morning lengths. If, however, you’re after something a bit livelier, there are plenty of activities to choose from. Work up a sweat in the fully-equipped gym. Or develop your crack shot at the shooting range. When you’re ready to push the energetic stuff aside and refuel, mealtimes offer up plenty of choice. Sit back and watch your meals be prepared in front of you with some extravagant show cooking. Meals aside, there’s also a full entertainment programme. Kids can enjoy shows and games six times a week, while mums and dads can enjoy daytime and evening shows along with live music. As you can see, the Hotel Riu Helios Bay is jam-packed with facilities and entertainment. The only problem is trying to cram it all in.

My boyfriend and I went to this hotel in August. We thought the hotel was beautiful and enjoyed our stay there. However, the location of the hotel was appalling, we did not feel safe walking through the town at night. We went on a couple of trips, both... more on this review
