Just got back from Borovets after a knackering week.
To help whom may be going soon here some thing we found useful.
2.85 Lev to the pound at the Post bank under the eila hotel opposite the Samokov.
Drink Zargorka draught lager by far the best unless anyone wishes to differ (just try it go on i dare you!!!)
Dont have lunch on the piste's (directly on them as there over priced and crap food just take a short 2 min walk off the pistes and into the nearest bar/restaurant ...

Mamamictas (Mexican opposite the ice rink near samokov) is one of the best Restaurants bargain food at good quality prices open for lunch breakfast and dinner. If you go for dinner at the end of the week there be sure to boook first, they also have a live band there from 9pm and happy hour 10pm-11pm
Try the wine tasting night medium wines excellent food and informative this is also held at mamaictas on a monday night £8
CD's we bought 8 and there fine around £3.50 each orderthem the day before then listen to them and then if you like buy them they dont mind if you dont them you can get them near the Rila Hotel about 3 stalls sell them heard the DVD's are a bit dodgy but we didn't buy them so couldn't really comment on them.
Snow there at the moment is a bit crap but heard the is due some this week according to the taxi driver in broken english.
Taxi cost 10lev around £3.50 to most hotels out the main area.
Any other q's please ask I can try and help
Oh yeah if you like Ammoreta (if thats how you spell it) buy it as you land in Sofia small shop before you go through customs £9 a 1L chapest I have seen .
Duty free is pretty crap on leaving Sofia so I would Buy England Unless you want Vodka then of course buy in Sofia or resort

re: Borrovets some help maybe
Borovets is fantastic..... anyone going for the 1st time you need not worry. You will have a ball.Don't eat at the chinese called The Red Dragon. All 10 of our group felt bad after it and one of us even threw up before leaving the resturant.
Definately try Katy's its ab fab if you like steak. The Alpin next to the 1 man chair is also excellent with loads of choice.
Wish I was coming back out with all of you who are still to go.
