We had Angel as an instructor in Borovets from 06-03-04 to 12-03-04.
He was a great instructor.
Angel was in his element as we were all of an intermediate standard, and most of were not afraid to ski from top to bottom. He also loved the off piste skiing which was great once we had a foot of snow mid-week.
Several of us from the group have already booked to return next year.
We will hopefully be in touch with Angel so that we can book him for our instruction next ...

Which one?? There are quite a few and like most of the instructors in Borovets they are all really good value. We met "young" Angel this year - not very tall with coloured hair, good English and very pleasant - worked for the Albena Ski School. Although he wasn't our instructor he always stopped for a chat and asked how we and the kids were getting along.Ellie

Just had a quick look at your photos. It looks like you had a really good time. I ntice you went to Pamporovo in 1994 - did you prefer Borovets and if so for what reason?? Just interested.Thanks

Borovets or Pamporovo ?
Ellie
Here is my comparison for you.
I couldn’t complain about the skiing in Pamporovo, as it was great. As was the people, food, etc.
The main problem with Pamporovo is that the majority of the accommodation is a bus ride from the slopes. Only a short bus ride of about ten minutes, but still a bus ride !
We opted to stay in one of the chalets in the “Malina Village” as can be seen in the pictures. There was everything there that we needed in the way of a restaurant ...

The Malina Village was great for the skiing as we could walk to the ski depot, slopes and ski school meeting place within five minutes. Looking at the web site I now see that the Markony Hotel is also situated near the slopes. I think this has been built since we were there as I have no recollection of it.
On the other hand the catch here is that you have to get a taxi in to the village for the nightlife. I have to add taxis were plentiful and cheap. As it was only the two of us we used to share the costs with another couple. Cheap at half the price as they say…
In Borovets we have stayed in the Iglika Palace (2003) & the Ela Hotel (2004). Both offer good standards of accommodation for what you pay. The rooms in the Iglika are bigger but try not to stay on the ground floor, as it is very noisy well in to the early hours of the morning. The food is also better in the Iglika.
The beauty of Borovets is everything is together.
You can more or less ski back to your door. Our ski depot was at the back of the Gondola and was only about 50 metres from the hotel.
Beware the Hotel Olymp is about a five or ten minute walk form the centre. A few of the people in our ski group stayed there and said never again.
The Malina & Yagoda Villages are situated a short bus ride away.
Our reason for changing hotels was location.
The Ela Hotel is located nearer to the Gondola. As we used this most of the time it meant less walking in Ski Boots whilst carrying your skis and sticks. I’m not saying the food is not that good in the Ela, but we took one look at the evening buffet and ate out for the rest of the week.
Next year we are stopping in the Mura. It is a little further to walk, but our ski depot will be in the gondola building. You may have guessed from this that I hate walking in Ski Boots.
Both locations are great, and each has there plus points. The final decision is up to you.
If you want any more information about the hotels have a look in the individual hotels comments sections. People give good honest opinions here.
