Bulgaria Ski discussion board

Dean,
In feb. I would guess the snow will be awesome....therefore you will be skiing your butt off and should be fine.

Basically.. I was not fond on skiing so much this past week due to lack of snow.. and lack of skill on my part LOL. So I ended up spending far too much time in the hotel!

The buffet breakfast is good..lots of selection for the traditional egg, bacon, and sausage lovers... Dinner was good 80% of the time... sometimes you'll find the food is not overly hot...ok sometimes cold. The dinner buffet starts at 6:30pm. I'd suggest going there fairly early ...if you wait too late the food will be cold and sparse.
The rooms are BASIC! We had a group of 32 people and none of us had double beds in the room...all single ..a little sad for couples. The beds are uncomfortable.. the showers are hot in the morning but will soak the entire bathroom floor LOL. A few rooms had bath tubs but not many.
There are lots of things to do at the hotel for families,and singles. Bowling, pool tables, spa, massage, swiming pool...several bars/lounges.
There are some rooms that are above the nightclub...you will hear the music blasting until 2 or 3am. Other rooms are far enough away not to be bothered.
The cleaning staff are good, we left tips and got a good response.
The front desk are not very helpful... little english...and can be rood at times.
The italian restaurant downstairs is good. The White Heart up the road is also good for pizza and pub food.. We did not find any GREAT food in the area..but you defiantly will not starve.
I'd also suggest brining cash, bulgarian lievs with you.. .for the first few days none of the ATM's would accept Irish or my Canadian cards... but the machine attached to the bank in the hotel was working when we left.
One more thing.. in the restaurant..where you eat breakfast/dinner there is a waiter that has blondish hair and two earrings ... he can speak good english and likes to help out.. his name is Gorgie I think.
That's all I can think of... if you are going for the skiing then you'll have a great time... if you are looking for a great hotel/resort to chill out in...ahhh not a great choice.
Hope this helped.

Ok try this one.
I seem to have left a couple of thousand pounds at the Perelik too. I asked the kind lady behind the reception to look after it for me whilst I hit the vodka. Can you get someone to pop by late at night for me. I am sure she said it would be put in their safe. I will pay for the two sticks of dynamite they may need and thay can take it out of the money they get for me. If they need new swag bags too I could stretch to a couple too buts that the lot.

I am happy for you to use DHL too and I look forward to recieving my loot.

Pete, if Amanda pulls this one off I will be coming with you in March.
