Club complexes
Making a review of hotels in Bulgaria, it can be noted that hotels on the coast are developing every year and can already compete with hotels in Turkey and Egypt. The all-inclusive system is quite developed on the coast. Some hotels form entire club complexes of several hotels with a huge territory. Guests of such complexes can use the entire infrastructure for free: visit bars, swim in pools, use spa services and mini-clubs. In reviews of hotels in Bulgaria, tourists note that it is very convenient and unusual. That is, you flew to one hotel, and you rest in several at once.
One ofsuch complexes is the famous resort "Riviera".
Riviera Resort
"Riviera" is a closed complex, located fourteen kilometers from the city of Varna and directly adjacent to another famous resort of Golden Sands.
"Riviera" is located on the territory of a luxurious coniferous park with an area of 12 hectares and consists of five-star hotels "Imperial", "Riviera Beach", four-star "Oasis" and "Lotus" and three-star "Nymphs". All hotels of the "Riviera" complex in Bulgaria are located on the seashore, on the beach and are among the most expensive and luxurious on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast.
Until 1989, the complex was a government residence with strictly restricted access. Ministers and high-ranking officials of Bulgaria rested in it. In the 90s, the complex was privatized, and recreation at a closed resort became available to everyone.
Surrounded by a natural park, on the very coast of the Black Sea, the resort complex "Riviera" offers its guests a variety of services, sports activities, spa treatments and, most importantly, a natural mineral healing spring. You can stand under a jet of healing water right on the beach near the Nympha Hotel. The water temperature is over 48 degrees.
