удачный выбор good choice

When planning my first trip to Bulgaria in 2007, I chose the Veronica Hotel, but because I was late with the reservation, there were no rooms in it, and I was offered the Gloria Hotel 3 * in the resort of St. Constantine and Elena . The appearance of the hotel in the photographs did not inspire confidence - "some kind of scoop", I thought. But there is nothing to do, agreed, and did not regret at all. Moreover, for many years now I have been going to St. Constantine and always stay at the Gloria. The hotel stands in a green park, surrounded by firs and pines, where squirrels run, delighting children. The building itself is outwardly simple, but inside a complete reconstruction was carried out, each room has a balcony, a bathroom with a shower, double-glazed windows, air conditioners, new furniture, cleanliness and comfort everywhere. The maids are very friendly, they clean in good faith, they change the linen on time and even lay out beautiful figures from towels in the form of swans or a boat on the bed. There is also satellite TV, a telephone and a mini-bar in the form of a small refrigerator in which you can store purchased fruits, cool wine, etc. Safe at the reception for a small fee. Meals here in the hotel, part of the tables in the open air, on the terrace under awnings, the quality of food has never caused me any problems, although I am picky in this regard. The hotel has only 4 floors, but there is an elevator with a transparent wall that offers a view of the park and sports ground from the back of the hotel. The hotel has an excellent swimming pool with natural mineral water, it is constantly cleaned, the water is always sky blue, there are children's sections of different depths, down to very shallow ones. There are comfortable sun loungers and umbrellas around the perimeter of the pool, hotel guests do not pay for them. And the main advantage of "Gloria", in my opinion, is a local massage therapist (office on the 1st floor, a stone's throw from the reception). A Bulgarian named Saro (Russian speaker) has been working in restorative medicine for over 20 years, a chiropractor from God. I have a problematic back, cervical osteochondrosis, my lower back has “fallen off” all my life. Now I feel incomparably better than 6 years ago - and all because every summer I took massage courses with Saro. His hands simply work wonders: the headache went away, the spine straightened, the shoulders straightened, the lower back stopped hurting, the coccyx “came to life”, the fatty “wings” under the shoulder blades disappeared. According to my inner feelings, I looked ten years younger. This year I am also going to order an anti-cellulite massage in problem areas - Saro does different types of massage, and all with the highest quality, using natural professional cosmetics based on Bulgarian rose oil. I noticed that people from other hotels go to him, many regular customers - and it is clear why: the offer of these services in the resorts is large, and finding a real healer is a rare success. To enhance the healing effect, bathing in hot mineral springs + 38-42 degrees can be added to the massage. , which are located here at a distance of 10 minutes on foot. It takes about the same amount to go to the sea, and since the coast on St. Constantine is divided into several beaches separated by breakwaters, you can explore a new beach every day, choosing the one that you like more. The region of Varna is famous for its remarkably mild climate: there is no large temperature difference between day and night, unbearable heat, the sun is gentle, the air is healing, the water in the sea is clear, of extraordinary beauty. You can come to St. Constantine from April to September, and at any time it’s great to relax and improve your health: if it’s still too cold in the sea, you can swim in the pool, take a course in balneology, explore all the sights of Varna (15 minutes by bus), or, having ordered excursions, travel all over Bulgaria. Therefore, if a travel agency offers you a 3 * Gloria hotel in the resort of St. Constantine and Elena - agree without hesitation!
