Hi AllI am off to Borovets on the 7th Feb, and i can't wait!!
I have never been skiing before, i will be attending ski school for beginners.

I have been to Borovets twice before. It's a great place with an excellent ski school, and slopes for beginners & intermediates. Very cheap nights out with good restaurants & bars. People very friendly and most speak English. Menus also in English!!
Can highly recommend the Titanic bar opposite Rila Hotel for cocktails. Try the hot chocolate with Baileys after a hard days skiing!! Hot soup is a good option for lunch costing around 60p - £1.50 depending on how far up the mountain the ...

Do not expect 5 star catering in hotels. Most food is plain, plentiful but quite edible. It does have a habit of not being too hot though. Rooms are adequate and spotlessly clean in both Samokov & Rila where I have stayed.
Am off for my 2nd visit of the year on 6th March - that's how much I enjoy the resort!!
There are 2 cash point machines in the resort despite what you see advertised. The cost on my account for using them when I returned were quite small. YOu do get a better exchange rate in Bulgaria than in UK. 2 weeks ago we got 2.7 Levs to the Pound in the resort.
Hope the info is helpful. Enjoy your holiday.

Funny you should say about the money changing facilities. I have been told that you can not take levs out with you - is that true?
