What problems may arise
Andalucia Beach 4 * receives negative reviews, however, like every hotel. In the hot season, when the influx of holidaymakers is large, there may not be enough sun loungers on the beach. According to the guests, due to the high load, coffee machines in the restaurant and bar at the hotel often break down, as well as in the dining room there are not enough free tables.
In the rooms on the carpet, spots and traces from previous guests sometimes remain.
Sometimes with a large influx of tourists there are difficulties with cleaning, for example in the dining room.
About a third of vacationers complain about too cold water in the pool, although everyone else considers its temperature pleasant and invigorating.
The disadvantages of the Andalucia Beach 4 * hotel include late check-in - only at the end of lunch, that is, at 14-15 hours, which is not always convenient, especially after an air flight. But it is worth noting that a similar condition is present in almost every hotel, and it is not worth talking about it as a negative. It is better to check this moment with your tour operator when booking and choose the most optimal departure time.
Caution is worth walking and swimming in the evenings: due to the proximity of the mountains in the evening, the temperature drops rapidly, and if the average daily temperature is +28 ... + 30 degrees in the summer months, then in the evening it drops to +14 ... + 16. In order not to freeze in the evening, you need to take warm clothes with you.
Sometimes there may be technical difficulties with paying with a card, however, such problems are quite easily resolved. In general, rest at the Andalucia Beach 4 * hotel (Bulgaria) is a rest according to European quality standards. The pricing policy of the country and the low influx of tourists will allow you to get a comfortable unforgettable vacation for the whole family, a lot of pleasant impressions, and at the same time do not cause serious damage to the budget.
