I just launched the new website of ZAN Hotel (www.zanhotel.ro), a great place that can accommodate you in Voineasa, Romania.

This is not just an article to promote a new website that I created, but it’s a sincere recommendation for those of you looking for a nice place to relax and enjoy some cool days in this time of heat. I’ve had the occasion to spend some days at ZAN Hotel and let me tell you - it was a great experience that I would be willing to repeat at least every weekend (Mr. Manager - do you hear that? :)). I was there to take pictures for the website, but unfortunately the weather was cloudy and I could not capture the essence of ZAN’s exterior beauty. I’ll get back there as soon as I can to fix this.

The thing that shocked me most was that you don’t expect to find such conditions in Voineasa - mountain resort that did not attract to many investors and is still considered to be one of the remains of the communism era in Romania. Except from ZAN, you can find almost only old hotels that were renovated a century ago but with up-to-date prices.

It’s a pity this happens, because Voineasa is a great place to relax - it offers you many hiking/trekking trails, a beautiful scenery, lots of activities to perform in all seasons: skiing & winter sports, mountain biking, hiking, trekking, ATVs, horse-back riding, hunting for wild cocks, boars and bears, etc. Also the place is recommended for it’s super clean and ionized air and is considered to be a national health resort.

ZAN Hotel offers you 4 star accommodation, with very stylish interiors, rooms with air conditioning and internet and a bunch of facilities you can use: restaurant, pub, conference room, football field (that can used also during the night - nocturnal) - and in the basement, the best SPA i ever had the chance to try. Let me tell you, this SPA has it all: wet and dry sauna, solarium, fitness center, pool and the incredible jacuzzi. The SPA can be used any time of day and night, and if you get lucky to be the only one using the jacuzzi or pool, you can lock the doors and enjoy the ride to paradise.

Spending some time with your friends at ZAN Hotel makes you feel at home, like you own the place and it’s your private mountain chalet. All of this happens thanks to a friendly staff, a cozy atmosphere and a great cook.

You can book a room online and the price is extremely good: 34€ for a single room and 64€ for a double room - it’s great value for this money.

The website is only in Romanian for now but it will soon have an English version. Please don’t hesitate to make any recommendations for the website - constructive criticism and praises ;-) are highly appreciated.

If you get the chance to visit ZAN Hotel and take some cool pictures at the location, send them to me and I’ll be happy to host them on ZAN Hotel website.

Thanks!

After all the hype that has been around the iPhone, I’ve been thinking whether this should be my new phone or not.

Fortunately, Gizmodo published a list with all the things iPhone does not have, list that has been on my mind since Steve Jobs first announced the revolutionary phone.

Although very cool in design, like all Apple products and with extremely nice features for a hand held device, i don’t think I can live without GPS and 3G. These are my main concerns and the reason why I will probably wait for an upgraded version of the iPhone or a decent competitors device (probably HTC)

.

Here’s the full list from Gizmodo:

Finally Confirmed: What the iPhone Doesn’t Have

• Songs as Ringtones
• Games
• Any flash support
• Instant Messaging
• Picture messages (MMS)
• Video recording
• Voice recognition or voice dialing
• Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Streaming (A2DP)
• One-size-fits-all headset jack (May have to buy an adapter for certain headphones)

Stuff we already knew it didn’t have
• 3G (EV-DO/HSDPA)
• GPS
• A real keyboard
• Removable battery
• Expandable Storage
• Direct iTunes Music Store Access (Over Wi-Fi or EDGE)
