Hotel Marina Palace Affiliated by Melia

"Beautiful adults only retreat. 4 star hotel, immaculate decor, cleanliness, food & staff. All inclusive bird gave us everything we wanted including a fine dining evening."

"The hotel is nice, recently refurbished and modern. Rooms are nice and comfortable, however, there is limited space for keeping your clothes for a week’s stay. Views from the roof are stunning, however there is a lack of space for sunbathing up there - filled very quickly and nowhere else than the roof to go for sunbathing/sitting in the sun. Location is very good, near to bars, restaurants and shops and close to old town Nessebar. Biggest issue we had with this hotel was the food…it was absolutely awful! The quality of the food was bad, and due to such a small buffet area there was little variety too. We ended up eating out at least once every day, to make sure we had at least one decent meal a day - not exactly ideal with having gone all-inclusive"

"Restaurant closed on arrival - given 1 sandwich each. Room 325 - side sea view. Inclusive wrist strap also operated door entry. Accommodation good (except sewage smell on some mornings!) and kept very clean. Room service - thank you Ludmila. Sky Bar staff friendly. The hotel location is good - close to beach and pretty Nessebar Old Town (spoilt by far too many tacky souvenir shops selling cheap imported goods.) Hotel Restaurant service poor! Hot buffet food often cold (even when early into dining room). Soups - most floating in oil or butter / cream. Chef table - almost always chips, thin dry makerel fillets or burgers - nothing really hot and appetising! When dining left cutlery open to indicate still eating but plates frequently whipped away by staff! Explained to one waiter - difference between cutlery open and closed to indicate a finished dish. It was obviously 'close down' week. Breakfast cereals ran out. 50 yrs travelling - never been ill on holiday before - but suffered stomach cramps and vomiting - am mid week and stayed in room for a day! Sorry to say that this hotel does not currently merit a 4 Star rating despite appearance, some lovely views and location."
