We recently took a trip to the All-inclusive Aqua Paradise Resort Hotel and Aqua Park in Nessebar, Bulgaria and it was an absolute paradise. It is around a four hour drive from our home in Bulgaria so not a short distance by any means but definitely great to have this world class resort located so close. You can of course book all-inclusive package holidays to the resort from UK and European airports.
Overview of All-Inclusive Aqua Paradise Resort
The resort is an all-inclusive resort where the price you pay for your stay includes all your meals, breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks! Drinks including alcohol and soft drinks are also included. There is free access to the adjacent Aqua Park for all guests which is one of the best Aqua Parks in Europe. It has many slides and pools to enjoy for all ages.
At the main hotel there are four large pools for guests to enjoy split across two sides of the hotel main building. On one side of the building the pools have a party atmosphere complete with music and activities for all ages provided by entertainment staff. The other side of the hotel caters for those that fancy a more relaxing time at the pool where relaxing pool music is played whilst you take a dip or lounge back on the free sun-beds. Both pools have snacks provided throughout the day which include hot and cold snacks such as sandwiches, pizzas, salads and little bites. Ice cream if you need to cool down.
How was our room at All-Inclusive Aqua Paradise?
During our stay at Aqua Paradise Resort we had a double superior room in one of the annexes overlooking the relax pool. This was great room with plenty of space for a family. We had a large balcony with a nice view over the pool. The room had a large double bed, two large screen TVs both of which worked with a Fire TV stick. The WiFi was decent and could easily stream from major apps such as Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime.
The room came complete with an en-suite shower room with a toilet, sofa bed, cot provided for a baby and a balcony with table & chairs and a clothes horse for drying your swimwear. There was also a fridge for keeping any drinks cool that you want to bring back to your room.
What was the all-inclusive food like?
At the All-Inclusive Aqua Paradise Resort there was loads of choice for food so should please even the fussiest of eaters. At breakfast there was meats, cheeses, bread, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, salads, yoghurts… too many things to list. Lunch and dinner was also full of choice with every kind of meat from chicken to beef, lamb and pork. Chips, pasta, roasts you name it. Various cuisines were catered for from western tastes such as English to Dutch, French, German and Eastern cuisines such as local Bulgarian dishes to Asian. Pretty much everything you could want. Check out our videos to get a flavour of what’s available.
Aqua Park
Having the Aqua Park connected to Aqua Paradise is what makes this place a brilliant holiday and such good value. The park is massive and adds loads of extra pools and activities to your holiday. This isn’t just some little add on with a few slides. This is a proper major aqua park with world class slides that range from exhilarating to quiet scary. Check out my video of the sides you can expect to find there.
