We are on the 11th day of a 12 day visit, as others have noted, some negative reviews made me a bit apprehensive BUT those reviewers must have been at a different hotel. The Mirage’s staff are welcoming and helpful. On Western European standards the decor is different, but that does not make the experience any less enjoyable. For Brits, the clientele who are predominantly Eastern European may appear a bit dour and down at heel ( there are not many smiles exchanged), however this would appear a cultural difference which us Brits need to accept, it does appear personal, people here reserve smiles for people they know and in fact the way we greet everyone with good morning and a smile to these other customers may come over as insincere and somewhat suspicious, we just carry on smiling and spreading the love. It is like going back 20 years, most people smoke (everywhere) and you get the usual morons who set an alarm for 06:00 to baggy a sun lounger! The hotel is lovely, clean and well placed, there is no entertainment so be prepared to go out at night to find it. The walk to Old Town hugs the beach line and is flat taking about 15/20 minutes. Unless you really need, stay away from taxis, they will try to charge you €25 to get back to the hotel which can be no more than 1.5 K. I would willingly come back and have enjoyed the whole holiday. HOWEVER , if you are easily upset by what we Brits may perceive as dour faced ignorance, then go to Spain where they will smile happily while they rip you off. The Bulgarian people are lovely and attentively honest and helpful, just don’t expect many smiles. And remember the smoking, in England we are lucky in that we no longer have to suffer passive smoking, not so over here, smoking is probably ranked second only to football as a pastime and that includes the table next to you when you are eating. Bloody Bulgaria

“Perfect location, lovely hotel - will be returning!”

We were a little apprehensive before we flew out due to the negative reviews on here. However, absolutely no reason to have been! We are still here now and having a lovely time.

We were a little apprehensive before we flew out due to the negative reviews on here. However, absolutely no reason to have been! We are still here now and having a lovely time. Hotel is exactly as you see in the pictures. If you feel that it looks dated and the colour scheme doesn't suit then don't book. Rooms are bright, fresh and cleaned daily and our room had definitely been modernised as fittings and bed fittings felt new. Our cleaner is lovely, friendly and does a thorough job. Fresh towels every day. Yes they are thin but do the job and personally I wouldn't want a big fluffy towel whilst I'm on my summer holiday! Hotel staff are nice but a little reserved. Try saying hello, good morning and thank you to them and they are full of smiles. Breakfast is plentiful. Other reviews have said inedible. I would say that's going a little far. Lots of choice. Fresh fruit, bread, toaster, continental meats and salad, pancakes, fresh honey and yes English breakfast products! Now the English breakfast range is not great but the hotel have tried to cater for everyone. This is not an all English hotel it's multi cultural. I would say the English part of breakfast was the only disappointment in the hotel which is good going really. You would have to be extremely fussy if you can't find something to eat here and that comes from someone who has family members with allergies and even they would find something to eat. Other reviews mention seagulls. OK so Nessebar does have seagulls (surprise surprise - it's by the sea!) But this morning I observed 5 cleaners and a pool man cleaning around and in the pool at 8am. They wash down all the sunbeds with a brush and hose and the floors around the pool area. What more can they do? The seagulls don't fly around you during the day and don't come near the pool until people have gone. Pool area has free and good quality sunbeds and view over the beach. No fighting for sunbeds. Some people were reserving at 8am but really no need. We went down on first day at 10am and got front row overlooking the sea and lots more available around the pool. We had a Seaview room overlooking the pool and had a beautiful view as far as the old town. Comfy double bed, excellent air conditioning and the sound of the sea right outside. Beach right in front of hotel is a long gorgeous sandy beach with loads of sunbeds. Cost 15 euro for 2 beds an umbrella and a table. Payable in cash to sunbed man. Beach is cleaned every night and morning. Tractors sweep the beach in the evening and all sunbeds are put back in place. In the mornings there are beach cleaners who come round and litter pick where needed. Old town is absolutely gorgeous. We walked into the old town along the seafront in about 20 mins. You can also walk via the new town and road if you want. We have walked into old town most nights. Loads of restaurants and bars and good price even seafront restaurants. Local restaurants near the hotel are nice. Almost every day we have been to Nico's for lunch. Really lovely bar on the front and nice friendly staff . Lots of menu choice. If you want to do a cheaper lunch there is a takeaway just up the road from main entrance to hotel serving bakery items, pizzas, hot dogs etc. We have eaten near the hotel 2 nights in a little restaurant for which I don't know the name as its sign is in Bulgarian but its just up from Nico's and opposite the beach club bar. Family run and we were the only English in there and were welcomed. First time we went in was really busy. Last night we went in and one family had just finished but then we were the only ones in there. We asked them to put the England game on and they did with smiles and smiled for us when we cheered the goals! Food was amazing. The hotel as mentioned earlier is multicultural with people from many different countries. We spoke to several English people and most were repeat visitors. We will also become repeat visitors at some point. Important to note the hotel is not just a hotel. It also has a separate apartment complex attached with different entrance. Some of the previous reviews may have been referring to the apartment complex? Overall a lovely holiday, very relaxing and a great little hotel. Excellent value for money.

“Gorgeous sea views!”

We love location of this hotel. The rooms with sea view have the sandy beach below and you can hear the waves all through the night. Breakfast spread was excellent with plenty of choice. We had a Turkish cleaner who was brilliant. Rooms very clean. Receptionists can be aloof but it could be down to a language barrier. Overall the hotel could do with better maintenance in the room.
