Blu Bay Hotel Sozopol

We very much enjoyed our laid-back stay at this beautiful hotel in Sozopol. Our room was beautiful with a terrific view of the harbor. Breakfast was very good and the location is great for many restaurants, shops, the beach, and a harbor cruise which we enjoyed. The staff gave us some excellent recommendations for dining out at places with a lovely view of the bay.

We stayed in the standard room which does not have sea views. The room was quiet and clean, though relatively small and small bathroom. The decor was fairly ordinary and the bed was on a platform which was a bit dangerous at night. There was nowhere to sit in the room, just a stool for one - no chairs. The interior corridoors were very dark and it didn't feel like a plush hotel. There was nothing particularly wrong with the hotel but the price is excessive for what it is and compared to everywhere else we stayed in Romania and Bulgaria. We only chose to stay here as I couldn't find anything else in Sozopol that was at the higher end. The location is excellent - at edge of old town. The pool was open strange hours with no shade so not really usable. The staff were not 5 star standard service quality. The breakfast had lots of variety but again quality not as good as other places we stayed in Bulgaria and Romania. There seems to be limited competition in Sozopol at the moment. If the prices were lower then it may be more reasonable.

This was our first trip to Eastern Europe. My husband researched all the hotels around this area and found this one to be the best. Definitely the proximity to the old town, the beach, all the restaurants made this hotel perfect, everything so centrally based. The rooms are cute and clean and the cleaners are very nice and always helpful. We had our clothes laundered a few times and it was done promptly. The bathrooms have great large showers with great water pressure and it’s nice to have a separate closed toilet space. There are cute toiletries for children. They are very generous with toiletries. We had a studio and so our lanai was large and the second room we had was a little smaller, but still a fine room. It was fun to host our other family members. There is a great, beautiful wading pool on the top floor, to keep cool during the hot summer month that our family enjoyed multiple times with immediate Bar service and snacks. The gentleman and lady who helped at breakfast and pool were always helpful. We also utilized the spa service. The masseuse was excellent and very strong and we all enjoyed our deep tissue massages. Just as a comment, it would be nice after a massage to be offered a water or tea. Our package included breakfast with free champagne toast. It was lovely with enough options for children and adults. We ate one night at the hotel restaurant Beluga, but because there were so many other restaurants in town, it was the only night. One of the servers was a little impatient, and the food was OK but fine, maybe less variety on the menu to offer than in town. however, we loved Giovanni, she was exceptional because she was warm and patient. So again, we really enjoyed the eight days we spent at this beautiful hotel. It definitely seems the most modern with most amenities. My only gripe with the hotel was that our particular room 109 had a non-functioning AC controller panel. And it did seem to be an issue with keeping our room cool. Usually by the afternoon time our room was as hot as outside. If you had small children or pets that we’re staying in the room, it would’ve been extremely uncomfortable. We always left during the day because we knew the room would be too hot for our son. On four separate occasions and days, we went to ask the front desk for help on our air conditioning unit. They did say they tried to check on it including from a central location. Our AC controller never worked. We never saw anyone enter our room or attempt to actually fix it or the panel. But they said it was not an issue with the panel. One of the staff did suggest that because our room was a little larger, it would never be cold enough. However, having booked two separate rooms we do know that the other room cooled perfectly well. We were a little disappointed that we were not changed to a room with a functioning AC or something else was done besides being told by the front desk that it was checked and checked again and rechecked and getting th

This hotel is the best luxury hotel not only in Sozopol but in Bulgaria in my opinion. The rooms are excellent, very clean, the location is very good and the view from the hotel is fabulous. The team of the hotel is very professional and kind. The food at the restaurant is a high quality food - fresh and delicious. We will definetely come back next summer!!!

Lovely hotel, very romantic. My husband and I went at Sozopol for our wedding anniversary and our choice was Blue Bay hotel. The room was very chic, marine style decoreted and the restarant was beautiful also. Our favorite spot was the salty water pool with an amazing view at the port.

This hotel has a good location, nice interior, and good service. There is a valet service and parking place in front of the hotel. Nice patio/balcony in the room. Good shower, good bed, good wifi. Too small blanket for a double bed. Bed, shower and toilet are on elevated floors, you should be careful! There is a pool but it’s really not for swimming. No private beach. Excellent breakfast! Service was good but not 5 star level. I asked whether there is a place to swim safely (it was quite windy day). I was directed to the Central Beach. It was not open for swim (red flags). 5 star service would have been to call to find out if you can swim there (safely) and it not, provide an alternative (having private boat transfer or whatever).
