The Palace Hotel offers solid features and a lively atmosphere for the boisterous crowd of mostly Russians and Brits who flock to this mega resort on Sunny Beach. Much of the three-pearl beachfront hotel's energy is devoted to extensive amenities, including a pool, garden, restaurant, and bar, while the 143 guest rooms and suites cover only the basics, apart from the balconies and sea views. But few spend much time in the rooms beyond sleeping and prepping for an evening of dining, drinking, and karaoke. The same goes for the entire resort area, with the addition of several water and fun parks for kids. For similar amenities but a bit more history, aim for the Hotel Imperial at the south end of the beach, just outside the ancient town of Nessebar.
