re: Borovets general adviced needed!

wwe just got back from a stay in the Iglika.. the hotel. was generally pretty good.. a couple of points tho:

they have a happy hour every night in the bar and the girls will come to serve you.. its wise to go to the bar as we had a few drinks that we suspected were alcohol free.
and look out for the waiter who looks like jose mourinho.. he needs a wash and can put u off your food

the food was very much 'school dinner' canteen style.. adequate if your on a budget but by no means fine ...

hello Ben,

Borogirl is right, just go with the flow. Do try the restaurants in Samokov though. Great food and much cheaper than Borovets.

Also Fiona will look after you, she has helped us a couple of times now

Have a great time

Ben i can definitley recommend getting in touch with Fiona and Andy, they helped sort out our ski hire, lift passes and transfers and even went skiing with our boys. If you do meet up with Fiona give her a hug from Marc the hat. Have a great time.

"...look out for the waiter who looks like jose mourinho..."

Siads, do you mean the one who is tall or looks tall because he's fairly slim and his hair is a fairly curly compared to Jose's?

Hello!

Thanks for all your advice! I have been in touch with Fiona so it sounds like we're off on the good foot!!

My girlfriend will be made up if he really looks like Mr Mourinho, and there will be getting pushed in the pool
Very Happy

re: Borovets general adviced needed!

One last question, any idea on the price of lifts passes for borovets ? As i have read some very conflicting stories about this ranging from 180lev to 280 lev?!?!
Where is the best place to buy this from, we booked direct so couldnt get them from a tour operator unfortunatley

cheers
