We stayed in Sofia by the Sea for 3D2N in one of the beachfront chalets and it is by far the best place we have stayed in. The rooms are basic with a bed, have A/C, hot water shower (yes, they now have hot water shower!) and basic breakfast (toast, butter, jam, coffee/tea) but the chalets were so close to... More

The chalets are all stand alone units and pretty basic. Rooms comes with air-cond, 2 single bed, mosquito netting and attached bathroom. Didn't like the fact that there was no where... More
