Visited this fantastic spa hotel in late July 2022 for a long weekend. Room: executive. Clean, spacious, with a gorgeous view to the mountain. The balcony was large and, due to the smart hotel design, felt private, secluded and not overlooked. The room was cleaned daily, with our towels changed. The bathroom was large and spotless. Central air con rather than a separate air conditioning unit, which works far better as it is non intrusive and quieter. WiFi: perfect. I had a work Teams video call scheduled and it worked just as well as at home. This was pleasantly surprising as it is unusual for a Bulgarian hotel. Spa and services: excellent. We used all the rooms in the spa centre, and a few treatments. The spa was clean, super relaxing and I enjoyed the little details such as fresh lemon or cucumber water in the resting area. Swimming pools: excellent. The mineral water was tested daily, as far as I could see. Both indoors and outdoors pools were clean and spacious. Gym: clean, air conditioned and provided all basic gym equipment. Towels and cleaning tissues available at the entrance. Food: simply amazing. I have never tasted such delectable food in any hotel ever. It is organic and comes from their own farm. We were on half board basis and I really loved the variety. Would have appreciated if water was available but you had to order bottled water or any other drinks. You could buy a seasonal veg box from the farm - I highly recommend it. Lobby bar: stayed there one evening and enjoyed fantastic live music - amazing, super relaxing. The second evening we saw a couple there who were vaping: unpleasant and I would have hoped that staff would notice it and deal with it. Smoking or vaping should be taken at designated places, not in the lobby bar. Staff: the greatest asset of the hotel and I hope it is reflected in their wages! Everyone was pleasant, smiling, very helpful and super polite. This is yet an incredible feat for a Bulgarian hotel so I really appreciated the friendly attitude and professionalism. It felt like everyone was a part of this big team working together to make our stay relaxing and stress free. General: although there were many guests, families, young children, etc. it did not feel overcrowded. In fact, it felt quiet and relaxing. I have finally found my summer holiday place!
