The water park

One of the biggest hotel aquaparks in Sunny Beach.

Most hotels in the resort send you to a water park down the road. Hotel Kotva built one in its own garden, and it is large enough that a week is not quite long enough to get bored of it.

Entry

Included for every hotel guest

Built into the hotel, not next to it

The slide towers rise straight out of the garden between the two hotel wings. From most balconies you can see the flumes; from every sunbed you can see the landing pool. Children go and come back on their own, which is the entire point.

There is no separate entrance, no wristband desk and no closing time you have to drive home before. On a hot afternoon you can be in the water ninety seconds after you decide to be.

The slides

Four kinds of slide, 22 ways down.

The 22 slides are spread over several towers, so queues stay short and every age has somewhere to go. Ask the lifeguard on duty which are right for your children — the shortest chutes suit small swimmers, the bowl and the racers are built for confident ones.

Thrill

The bowl

The big one: a tube ride that fires you into a wide bowl, spins you around the rim and drops you through the middle into the pool below.

Racers

Multi-lane racers

Parallel lanes down the same slope — the slides that turn an afternoon into a tournament and settle who is fastest in the family.

Enclosed

Tube slides

Fully enclosed tubes that twist in the dark before spitting you out into daylight and water. The ones children ride again immediately.

Open flume

Open flumes

Wide open chutes with long, banked curves — fast enough to be exciting, gentle enough that nobody needs talking into a second run.

Family

The slide towers

Several towers of different heights so the queue splits naturally, and so the smallest riders never have to climb higher than they want to.

Splashdown

Landing pools

Every slide ends in a supervised landing pool with shallow exits, ringed by sunbeds so a parent can watch the whole ride from a chair.

The smallest guests

A pirate ship, in a pool you can stand up in.

The children's area is a separate shallow pool built around a full wooden pirate ship, with its own small slides, water jets and steps — designed for the ages that are not ready for the big towers.

Shallow the whole way across

The children's pool has no deep end. Small swimmers can stand anywhere in it, and the entry is by gradual steps rather than a ladder.

Slides sized for small riders

The ship has its own short slides and sprays, so children who are too small for the main towers still spend the day going down something.

A playground for the dry hour

A fenced playground with swings and climbing frames sits in the garden a few steps away, for the part of the afternoon when everyone has had enough water.

For swimmers

A half-Olympic pool, away from the slides.

25 metres by 12.5 metres of clear, rectangular water at the quiet end of the property — for lengths in the morning, and for anyone who came on holiday to swim rather than to be splashed.

  • 25 m × 12.5 m, half-Olympic size
  • Separated from the aquapark pools
  • Sunbeds and umbrellas around the deck
  • Quietest early in the morning
