I had a fantastic stay at Sarova Whitesands! The location is perfect, right by a lovely beach, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The dining options were a mixed bag though; while I enjoyed the mobility of the All Inclusive package, some restaurants, particularly Lido, didn't meet my culinary expectations. The cleanliness of the rooms and amenities is commendable, but a few improvements could definitely elevate the experience. Overall, it's a great place for a beach holiday, and I'd happily go back.

Our stay was quite a mixed bag at this hotel. While the friendly staff and improved rooms were definite highlights, we faced significant issues with our bookings, which created unnecessary stress. The dining options were decent overall, but more variety would have enhanced the experience. The facilities, particularly the gym, could use some upgrades, especially given that we were unable to enjoy the beach due to weather concerns.
