Firstly the positives, the hotel itself is lovely and has everything you need for a fun family holiday. This is however completely ruined by the miserable mood of both the bar staff and hotel staff. On our first day I asked someone where I could refresh my towels, she looked me up and down, shrugged and walked off. My son is autistic so whilst eating in the buffet restaurant I give him a bit of freedom and independence and allowed him to get his own ice-cream, whilst watching him from my table less than a foot away. He is 6 years old. As he was picking up his ice cream a member of staff screamed and I mean SCREAMED at him for supposedly licking a spoon. I did not see him do this but even if he did, it does not warrant screaming at a 6 year old autistic child. I was obviously very taken aback at the level of aggression shown towards my son that I didn't even know what to say at the time. I complained at reception a bit later to which they said they would talk to staff, but nothing changed. Staff do not engage, they can't even seem to smile. It seems that complaints about the attitudes of staff here go back a long way, trust me nothing is going to change. They simply don't care. When you are on holiday trying to have a nice time and you are met with hostility at every turn it makes it really hard to enjoy your stay and to be honest I felt pretty unsafe and uncomfortable here. Albena is a lovely place, beaches are amazing. Just a shame we had to come back to hotel kaliakra every night.
