RE: Between luxury and megalomania - a 5-star hotel on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast - moved to a better community

Here is a replica, dear @danny.green, not a restoration. So, there are people for everything and as I wrote above, it turned out that many Bulgarians already visited this hotel and slept there.
It's actually a matter of priorities. I prefer the authentic places. Not exactly a tent city 😁 (although this has given you unforgettable experiences and memories, I'm sure) but I would prefer a real, old-fashioned palace.
Of course, spending your vacation in such luxury is very tempting, because in spite of everything, the construction is spectacular and the project is meticulous in detail. But I, as a local person, knowing the situation on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast as a resort, would not do it. For this money I would go to the Amalfi coast. 😊
