One reason many travelers choose Sunny Beach resort is the sheer variety of choice for hotels. Here you will find luxurious 5 star options or budget 2 star options. Some consider the 5 star hotels to be the best choices; options for these luxury hotels include Barcelo Royal Beach Hotel or the Victoria Palace Hotel. Others think that the five-star options might be a little over priced, and that the four star options provide all the luxury you will need on a beach vacation. Some four star choices include the Alba Hotel or the RIU. If you’re traveling on a budget, check out three star hotels including Azurro Hotel and Kackaz Hotel.

Beyond the beach, there are many sources of entertainment here. First-time visitors must check out a few sightseeing options. The most popular are the local Archaeological Museum, a picturesque windmill, and many local churches. Some visitors have good intentions about doing a little sightseeing, but are seduced by the golden sands of the beaches and never leave the resort area. This is a reason to plan another trip to Bulgaria, and maybe one that also includes visits to other popular destinations such as the historic cities of Plovdiv or Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgarian monasteries, or hot springs. There is much to discover in Bulgaria beyond its gorgeous beaches.
