The main differences are size and meal plans: both Velingrad hotels hold the top official category, run a spa and welcome families. The Chepino hotel on Lenishta Street does not publish a room total and suits guests who want a bigger hotel. The 95-room hotel on Gotse Delchev Street suits travellers who want a choice of meal plans.

The short verdict
- Pick Sante if you want a hammam, an aquatonic pool and a main indoor mineral pool. Spa Hotel Sante does not publish a room total.
- Pick Infinity Park if you prefer a 95-room hotel with a 25 m indoor pool, a rooftop outdoor pool, three jacuzzis and more than one meal plan to choose from.
Both are family-friendly, neither is adults-only and both run a spa, so size, pool style and meal plans will decide most stays.
Location and getting around
Both hotels sit within the 4600 Velingrad postcode in the Pazardzhik region. Spa Hotel Sante is at 1 Lenishta St in Chepino, and Infinity Park Hotel & Spa is at 55 Gotse Delchev St.
To see how far apart they are and how long it takes to reach anything else in town, put both addresses into a map app next to the places you want to visit, and you will soon see which location fits your plans.
Ask the hotel about parking, taxis and transfers before you travel, particularly if you will not have a car. It is also worth asking how guests usually get to and from the town's other areas.
Rooms and board
The national tourist register lists Sante as САНТЕ, while Infinity Park appears as ИНФИНИТИ ПАРК ВЕЛИНГРАД. Infinity Park gives 95 premises (rooms and apartments). Sante does not publish a room total, so the two cannot be ranked by size from published figures.
A bigger hotel can offer more room types, but room layouts are not compared here. If you need a family room, connecting rooms or a cot, ask the hotel which options suit your group.
The meal plans differ, and the Board row in the table shows them. FB means full board, usually breakfast, lunch and dinner. HB means half board, usually breakfast and dinner. BB means bed and breakfast. Neither hotel lists an all-inclusive plan.
A hotel that offers more than one plan lets you decide how many meals to take in, which helps if you want to eat out on some evenings. A single fuller plan keeps things simple. Either way, ask the hotel which drinks your booking includes.
Spa and wellness
Both hotels run a spa, so you are choosing between styles of wellness rather than between spa and no spa.
Spa Hotel Sante lists a hammam, an aquatonic pool and contrast pools in its spa and wellness area, alongside the main indoor mineral pool. That mix suits guests who want heat as well as water during their stay.
Infinity Park Hotel & Spa lists contrast pools too, plus an aqua pool and three jacuzzis. For steam rooms, saunas and treatments there, ask the hotel before you book.
At either hotel, treatment menus and spa opening hours are worth checking in advance, especially if you want a particular treatment on a set day.
Pools, spa and facilities
Infinity Park Hotel & Spa lists a 25 m indoor pool, an aqua pool, children's and baby pools, contrast pools, three jacuzzis and a rooftop outdoor pool. It is the only one of the pair to give a pool length, which helps if you want to swim laps.
Spa Hotel Sante lists a main indoor mineral pool, a large outdoor pool, children's indoor and outdoor pools, an aquatonic pool and contrast pools. Neither hotel puts a total on its pools, so ask the hotel which ones are open and heated during your stay.
Families get dedicated children's pools at both. Sante lists them indoors and outdoors, and Infinity Park lists children's and baby pools. If you are travelling with a baby, that baby pool is a point in Infinity Park's favour.
For restaurants, a gym or a kids' club at either hotel, ask the hotel directly.
Who each suits
- Choose Sante if you want the bigger hotel, a hammam and an indoor mineral pool, with children's pools inside and out. See the Spa Hotel Sante page or check availability at Sante.
- Choose Infinity Park if you want a 25 m pool for laps, a rooftop outdoor pool, a baby pool and a choice of meal plans. See the Infinity Park Hotel & Spa page or check availability at Infinity Park.
Neither suits an adults-only break, since both welcome families. If you mainly want flexibility over meals, start with the Board row in the table.

Questions
Which is bigger, Sante or Infinity Park?
Infinity Park Hotel & Spa gives 95 premises (rooms and apartments). Spa Hotel Sante does not publish a room total, so which hotel is bigger is not clear from published figures. Room count is not available for both; for spa area or grounds, ask each hotel directly before you book.
Does either hotel offer all-inclusive?
No. Neither hotel lists an all-inclusive plan. Their meal plans differ, and one of the pair offers a choice of two, so compare the Board row in the table before you book. Ask the hotel which drinks, if any, come with your booking, and whether extra meals can be added.
Which has the bigger spa or more pools?
There is no firm answer, as neither hotel gives a spa size or a pool total. Infinity Park lists a 25 m indoor pool, a rooftop pool and three jacuzzis. Sante lists a main indoor mineral pool, a large outdoor pool, an aquatonic pool and a hammam. Ask both hotels for spa details.
Is either hotel adults-only?
No. Both Sante and Infinity Park are family-friendly, and neither is adults-only. If you want a child-free stay, look for an adults-only hotel instead. Couples who still like these two can ask the hotel whether any spa area or pool time is set aside for adults only.
Which is better for families?
Both suit families, with dedicated children's pools at each. Infinity Park also lists a baby pool, which helps with very young children, while Sante lists children's pools both indoors and outdoors and is the larger hotel. Ask either hotel about family rooms, cots and children's activities before you book.
