I enjoyed a pleasant and relaxing stay at Tosca Beach Hotel in early June 2023. Here is a list of pros and cons to help you decide if this hotel suits British tourists. It seems that the hotel primarily caters to visitors from Bulgaria and other Eastern European countries, as we were the only UK tourists during our visit and the staff's proficiency in English was limited. Pros: Beach: The location is perfect for those seeking a secluded and tranquil beach experience. It is ideal for swimming, snorkelling, and relaxation. There are plenty of available sunbeds if you arrive early after breakfast. Snorkelling in the area is fantastic, with abundant sea life and calm waters suitable for novices and young children. The beach is clean and easily accessible from the main bar and restaurant. Kavala, a lovely lively town, is a 15-minute taxi ride away. Room: The rooms are clean and functional, although the beds are on the firmer side. They are spacious and equipped with a TV, fridge, safe, wardrobe, and mirror. Each side of the bed has plug sockets for convenience. Cleanliness: The hotel maintains a high standard of cleanliness, with daily cleaning throughout the premises. I had no issues in this regard and felt that the staff did a commendable job. Drinks: The cocktails are delicious, although they are pre-mixed, which is expected for an all-inclusive package. The drink measures are generous. Soft drinks, coffees, beers, etc., are also enjoyable, and they are available at the beach bar until 11 pm. Cons: Bathroom: Due to the hotel's location, there was occasionally an unpleasant smell emanating from the toilets. This was more noticeable during hot weather and could sometimes be slightly overwhelming. Food: The food provided was abundant and consistently replenished. Some dishes were delicious and everything appeared fresh. However, one drawback was the absence of labels for food items, making it challenging for individuals with food intolerances. Desserts and breakfasts were particularly enjoyable, but the salads had a peculiar taste. Entertainment (or lack thereof): There was a notable lack of entertainment throughout the day. The rooftop bar remained closed without any explanation (likely due to the limited English proficiency of the staff). Only the beach bar played music in the evenings. It would have been nice to have some form of entertainment, even for an hour or two. In summary, I would recommend Tosca Beach Hotel to UK visitors seeking an affordable getaway, without mobility issues or food intolerances, who simply wish to relax on the beach with their loved ones or friends. It offers a tranquil setting and enjoyable beach activities.
