Глория в сентябре Gloria in September

We spent the last week of our long vacation at the resort of St. Constantine and Helena. We chose the Gloria hotel because of the low price during this period. I really wanted to breathe fresh air after Sunny Beach, where we spent 2 weeks, and also travel on our own, because it is convenient to do this from this resort. Nothing special was expected from the hotel because of the ridiculous price. But they didn't regret anything. The hotel stands in a great location, in a park, squirrels run under the windows, trees look out the windows. On the one hand, the Estreya Palace Hotel, on the other, the Grand Hotel Varna. We had all inclusive meals. The buffet is simple, but everyone was full. Cooked quite tasty and not greasy. For breakfast there were cereals: oatmeal and semolina. The rest is the same as everywhere else: cuts, sour meat, bannitsa, boiled eggs and scrambled eggs. Good coffee. For lunch, 2-3 types of meat, rice, potatoes, vegetable stew. For dessert, watermelons and plums. There were no cakes, but there were delicious pies of 2 types: roll with jam and shortbread. Pies and fruits were in the bar until 22:00. And also worked almost around the clock vending machine with hot and cold drinks. The hotel has its own beach, which everyone scolds, but not us. The beach is civilized, with toilets and showers. changing cabins, a volleyball net, a bar with soft drinks, free sunbeds and umbrellas. And, here, the sea - "wild". Children and those who swim badly have nothing to do there, you have to go to the Rubin Hotel. Go the same way, but in the other direction. The fact is that on the beach of Gloria the bottom is stone and algae grow at the bottom (grow, not swim). A small path has been made for entering the sea, along which you can reach the end of your legs, and then just swim. The first 2 meters unpleasantly touch these algae with your hands, and then immediately deep. They swam only without touching the bottom with their feet, they swam all the time. But the water is pure. In "bald spots", where there are no algae. every stone is visible. We liked it! Now about the biggest minus of the hotel. Towels are changed on the 4th day, along with the bed. There is nothing for legs. Therefore, most tourists put white face towels on the floor. As a result, we personally could not use these towels. We bought towels for the face for 7 levs and for legs for 3 levs at the malls, they will come in handy at home. The cleaning lady was not overworked, cleaned up badly. But we tried not to get dirty. The girls at the reception are nice and friendly. Very pleased with the weather, only one cloudy day. Now I know. that you can also relax on the northern coast in September. The water was warm. But the evenings and nights are already chilly. Wondering if I will go to Gloria again, then more likely yes than no. And always at the very end of the vacation, in September. But I will bring my own towels.
