Romance Hotel, St. Konstantine, near Varna

Pondering staying at the exotically named %26#39;Romance Hotel%26#39;, St Konstantine near Varna. It claims four stars.





Is St Konstantine a nice quiet place for walking, spa and beach. Or do the photos flatter to deceive. Thanks for any info.

Actually staying at this hotel now ! It is really nice , room are very large and furnished with nice stuff .Staff are very friendly and no where smells of smoke .



The food is nice but not 4 star , tuna salad was tinned tuna , that sort of thing .But its a great price including room service and mini bar .



Out side the hotel is a bit run down , i thought it would be prestinne , gearing up for the summer , but no its more like a frontier town.



The beach is like 70s Benidorm .I took some pictures I%26#39;ll post them.



The hotel is great but St Konstatine is not what I thought is would be .

Many thanks. Pity I have already booked will have to use it as a base for travelling around the area.

Hi Inverkip,





Can you also tell what the local buses are like and does the hotel organise tourist trips.

The hotel was great , I would say 4 star for sure , they also have appartments which are great value with a full kitchen and large lounge diner , one bedroom 55 euro two bedroom 75 euro .



Yes the staff where great I am sure they have literature about trips .( the woods are supposed to be amazing full of wildlife , including wolf !, I think shooting expiditions are done in this area!, ) If not you can walk out past the the pool there is a gate on the right , and you are 20 meters from a couple of supermarkets , lots of stalls selling everything from clothes to strawberries( by the way none of the stall holders are aggressive hard sellers or the open air restaurants ) , they have some venders selling trips for sight seeing and a bus stop to venture off independently . The string of stalls lead to the beach , where you pay to rent a brolly and a lounger , one beach bar after the other selling food a drink .The place was empty when we were there but they said the season would start in two weeks.



The hot spring on the beach is a site to behold , the water pours out what looks like an old drainage pipe , but that rock pool area was very popular , with russian and bulgarian tourists .



We are back in Sofia now , and lots of people say you don%26#39;t have to walk far down the beach for it too become quite lovely .I am sure that once you explore there are hidden gems .Most of trees are deciduous which are stunning .
