Well got back yesterday lunch time after a long journey home.
Flight out there was delayed by an hour( we went from bristol). Got to Plovidc airport....like a old shed. transfer was fine, and we even could have a can of beer on the bus too. was pretty worried when got there cause it was so warm. Got to Perun at about 8pm, so was shattered by then, so we just had something to eat, and unpacked. The food wasnt brillant, but we werent left hungary. The breakfast was the best, omletes, ...

The breakfast was the best, omletes, pancakes with CHOCOLATE!
Right the main part...SKIING.
we got up really early the first day to get our ski stuff. we were the first ones there at 8:30, so we didnt even q for the stuff, and then didnt even q for the gonolda!! so we were pretty happy about that!!
The conditions on the first day were great, it even snowed pretty heavy in the afternoon(must admit this was the only snow fall we saw while there)
We werent to keen on the night life, every bar we went to was empty, but didnt bother me cause i went there to ski and chill out.
The hotel it self was great, the outdoor pool was great. so warm, but it made the indoor pool feel cold! the rooms were nice, even a well powerful shower!!plenty of cupboar space too.
By mid week the slopes really need some new snow, if they didnt have the snow cannons they would be stuck. we even managed to go down the ski road once, a bi icy, but we didnt it, but at the end it was JUST MUD. so u had to walk!
food on the mid station was nice, we ate at the Friends bar every day, had 2 chips and one slice of pizza for 11 lv!!so not to bad. was abit confused cause the hotel is a 4 star, but the restaurent was only a 3 star!!
we didnt have to q at all really, just a couple of miniutes here and there. the only day we had to q the longest for about 25 mins was on the way down the gonloda was on the last day!!
my partner broke his pole, so he had to pay 12 levs for that. which i though was wrong. also he ski broke too, but he just had to exchange it! i had to get new boots on the 2nd day cuase mine really hurt my left leg, so on the 2nd day i didnt ski much as it hurt to much, but the next day with new boots it was fine.
we got picked up at 1.15am, we even got given a packed lunch!we just slept on the bus to the airport, it was horrible there, only a few check in desks, so had to wait for each flight to close. once we went through check -in it was AWFUL, a big rooms with chairs, and a little shop!!!
apart from the lack of snow, the holiday was fine. would i go back there.....proberly not. far to much builing work going on, and the food ain great, but apart from that i enjoyed it alot. now thinking of going skiing again march next year, but prop not to bulgaria.
HAS ANYONE GOT ANY QUESTIONS U WANT ME TO ANSWER!?

re: Bansko - 3rd march - 10th March - Perun
Yes we are staying at the Perun next year. How far is it from the hotel to the gondola? Did u try any massage etc at the hotel? Was the food really poor and if so did youtry eating out at night??
re: Bansko - 3rd march - 10th March - Perun
Jenny,Well there is a bus that take u to the gondola every 15 mins, and takes bout 2-3 mins, they also it takes up back to the hotel, the first bus goes at 8am and the last from the gondola is at 5.30pm.
didnt try the massage at the hotel, but they seemed really cheap. we ate at the hotel every nite, just cause we didnt want to risk it really, the hotel breakfast was lovelly, but the evening meals let it down,
any more questions!?

stayed in the perun last week aswel
overal i/we had a brilliant holiday in bansko
the snow was lacking, but that cant be blamed on the resort, for boarding there was plenty, especialy at the top of the mountain, and after the early morning ice had melted, conditions were ace. the warm temps and sun made it a half sunbathing, half boarding hol at times!
the hotel was very clean, rooms were large and the beds/shower etc were spot on. the facilities in the hotel were also very good, ...

the hotel was very clean, rooms were large and the beds/shower etc were spot on. the facilities in the hotel were also very good, sauna,steam room pool etc all good, the the tiles around the spa were very slippy!!
the food was a little hit and miss, tho that was to be expected, theres was sufficient choice to find something you'd like each day, plus it was cheap to eat out, so no complaints!!
despite a nigh on perfect holiday, i wont be back to bansko for a few seasons purely becasue there are as many hotels being built as there are already open, that in itslef is fine, but the plans for the mountain are on hold due to eco issues!!
there is no way the current piste can contain all the additional visitors the hotels will bring in the next few years, there will be a massive massive problem for a good while, until more lifts and runs are added, a big big shame!!
