      My wife and I and small dog were walking past Saint Thomas Hotel yesterday 4.7.11 when your guard dog broke loose and savaged our dog, and myself I was badly bitten on the arm, scratched on my body.My wife also knocked to the ground and scratched.It took three saint tomas guards to hold the dog down, and to stop the rotweiler from attacking us futher, at this point our dog was held in the rotwielers mouth.To stop the rotwieler I had to hit it twice on the head with a concret brick which was on the floor, had this not been there I don,t know what the out come would have been.Many thanks to the hotel doctors and all who saved us.

      I am really disappointed with time I spent in this complex. Starting with excellent locaion I thought that I 'll spend two weeks in earth paradise , but unfortunatelly now I am after one week and except great company of friends of mine only few things are on standard presented in adverts. IF YOU DONT WANT TO BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS HOTEL FOLLOW THIS RULES: 1) Avoid contact with manager LUDMIŁA NENKOVA - She will learn you how to speak English - what does it mean LOBBY and what you can do there and what you don't - for example you can't play family remik with children ( intelectual game , time: 8pm) - if you won't change place , she will TURN OFF LIGHT IN LOBBY. She is very rude, agressive and she doesn't respect hotel guests. 2) FORGET ABOUT HOTEL BEACH YOU SAW ON ADVERT PICTURES! It is like disapearing point! You can see there only stinking seaweed and MEMORIES after its prosperity. 3) IF YOU WANT TO GO ON BEACH - Prepare yourself for long walk or waiting for transport, but don't be too happy - it takes 10 persons every 30 minutes. 4) WHEN YOU WANT VISIT SOZOPOL - It's some kind of sport - transport is every day at 10.30 ( back about 13) TAKES ABOUT 8 PERSONS ( ONLY ONE TURN!!!) , and once for 2 days in the evening - OLSO ONE TURN. Can anyone explain me for what I whas given a free ticket for this transport as it is impossible to use it - now I am after 3 tries ? It is not a problem , when you have a car , but it is not a good information for turists coming by PLANE. 5) DON'T FORGET FLIP-FLOPS FOR SWIMMING POOLS - The area is dirty , full of swallows shits and also sometimes you can step in pieces of glass. By the way pools are very nice. 6) BE AWARE OF FALLING SAILING - It is just an additional entertainment during dinner. 7) ATRACTION OF THE DAY ( today ) was " atested " chemistry in garden next to swimming pool full of people ( adults and children ) wchich couses tears and breathing problems. If you are sensitive better take gas mask. 8) SURPRISE! You never know when your room would be made up . 9) IF YOU WANT TO USE WARDEOBE - take one with you , becouse in hotel one , instead of shelves you will find huge dribbling boiler. 10)SHOWER - It is not obvious that it will work - it can be lacking pipe for 24hours wanting to be fair i have to mantion that food and service is very good except contact with LUDMIŁA - IT IS REALLY SCREAMING ORGASM! I STILL HAVE TO BE HERE DURING NEXT WEEK , IF I WERE SUPPRISED BY SOMETHING ( +/- ) I WOULD WRITE WITH PLEASURE. TO BE CONTINUED...

      Excellent location, perfect for quiet holiday. However, braking into apartments is very common, stealing from cars at the FREE parking place is an every day thing. So if you do not have a car you are fine. If you go there you have to demand an apartment at the villa places with CTTV , otherwise noone takes responsibility for the breakiing in. Police is practically non excistent, since they will do NOTHING. Beware of the hotel Manager - Mrs. Nenkova. I advise no direct contact. The woman needs to get acquainted with good conduct practises. Nice location is not sufficient, good management should be part of the package as well. Sadly, it is not.

      1001 éve jártam ebben az országban, ebben a városban. A valóságban 1985-ben. Szeretettel gondolok rá, mert űrt hagyott maga után, az élmény nem pótolható még ennyi év eltelte után sem. Azt hiszem igazi "szerelem" volt s az marad! :)
