Hotel Fenix

Hotel Fenix details

A smart property overlooking the beach, the Fenix Hotel has clinched a prime setting on Bulgaria’s most popular stretch of coast.

This contemporary hotel couldn’t be in a better spot. It’s in Sunny Beach, Bulgaria’s main holiday hub – and, even better, it’s right by the sand. Plus, there are plenty of shops, restaurants and bars just outside the door. And if you want to explore further afield, catch the bus that stops close to the hotel.

Sandwiched between the property and the beach, meanwhile, is a swimming pool. It’s set into a smart sun terrace and hemmed by well-kept lawns and shady trees. There’s a poolside bar with a pretty dining terrace, too.

Head inside and, in terms of décor, things are smart and understated. Take the bedrooms, for instance. All white walls, fuss-free wooden furniture and carpeted floors, they make simple, comfortable spaces. They all come with balconies or terraces, too.

On the food front, breakfasts are generous help-yourself affairs. Pick from pastries, cereals, hams and cheeses, and eggs cooked any way you like. For lunch and dinner, meanwhile, the pool bar serves up things like omelettes, burgers and chips. For a wider choice of food, head to the seafront promenade, where you’ll find a good mix of cafés and restaurants.
