Club complexes
When reviewing 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 vast territory. Guests of such complexes can use the entire infrastructure for free: visit bars, swim in pools, use the services of spas and mini-clubs. In reviews of hotels in Bulgaria, tourists note that it is very convenient and unusual. That is, flew into one hotel, and you relax in several at once.
One of these complexes is the famous Riviera resort.
Resort "Riviera"
"Riviera" is a gated complex located fourteen kilometers from the city of Varna and directly adjacent to another famous resort Golden Sands.
