Virtual Tour of Arda Hotel

Arda Hotel, Sunny Beach, Bulgaria

The Arda hotel is a friendly choice just a few hundred yards from the beach. All rooms have balconies and air conditioning is available for an additional charge. Fridge and television are also available for an additional charge.

There is a large swimming pool with plenty of sun loungers and sunbathing area. A nice restaurant overlooks the pool plus a small outdoor covered terrace area if you want to eat outside. Breakfast is continental style with bread fruits etc and the restaurant also does lunch and dinner if you don’t want to venture out. The hotel also has a bar.

The Arda hotel is set back a little from the main drag and so noise levels are not to bad in the bedrooms at night. The historic town of Nessebar is just a 10 minute drive from the hotel and is worth a visit. Also, if you want some good shopping, the town of Burgas is only half an hour away and offers some excellent bargains.
