We rested with friends... my review will not be as categorical as Oksana's. After Turkey rest is simply shocking. There are no special claims to the hotel... clean... they clean it, it pulls on its 3 *. True, once they brought towels already used, the issue of the exchange was decided immediately, they didn’t rummage through the bags, they even tried to lay out figures from our nightgowns. We were told that the pool is free, and we went, although it's not very pleasant to swim when there is a street nearby and cars are driving. the hotel is just in the middle of the street, there is no fence.
The breakfast was poor. . . it was enough for me, but it was delicious to eat. . . it was a problem, only at the end of the holiday we found a not very pleasant restaurant (dirty tablecloths, plastic furniture) it was very tasty. . . we went for European service. . . but it turned out that in everything there is a "frozen soviet epic" with European Union prices, a complete lack of local vegetables and fruits... Bulgarians!... where is your pepper at least ! ! Unjustifiably high prices even for souvenirs and services. Of course, I understand that their work is seasonal... and it is necessary to "mow" while tourists come in large numbers. I didn’t see obvious rudeness, but they won’t miss their own... I wouldn’t judge them so harshly, every nation has its shortcomings. We did not notice any special hospitality.
It is clean near the hotel, on the beach too, that beach, which is written 300m, can be conditionally called a beach, the ruins of rescue stations are everywhere, but the beach is clean, they are trying to work out their 5 leva for a sunbed. dignity of the beach... a rusty pipe with mineral thermal water. Elderly Bulgarians lie there all day long... because the equipped pool is paid. Yes, we are considered very greedy by both sellers and taxi drivers... we just didn’t want to overpay for Turkish and Chinese goods, which cost us a penny, but they fight in full... A special topic is rose cosmetics. This is the only thing that left production in Bulgaria. There are no words here, who will go buy it, you won’t regret it, and creams and gels, soap, you just need to buy in a supermarket, prices in tents are doubled... as well as for spices.

Next year, Gloria will be rebuilt, air-conditioned, the dining room will be expanded. Prices will rise... if we are discussing a hotel here, we can go, maybe someone has other requirements... my girls managed to get only 4 bags, it's not tricky. But the myth about Bulgaria. . . as a tourist's dream has been dispelled. . . Unfortunately. . .
