First timers

Hi Folks,

I have filled in the forms on here to try and get some answers and prices etc however found the forums so thought I would ask on here.

Essentially my wife, son and myself want to come out to Borovets on Boxing Day and have found the resort etc through Crystal Ski, however I am a big believer in trying to do things directly.

So to that end I have EasyJet flights I can do on the 26th and back on the 2nd and I would like to know how much the hotels are directly on here Rila ...

So to that end I have EasyJet flights I can do on the 26th and back on the 2nd and I would like to know how much the hotels are directly on here Rila is the preference (the Winter Palace or Samakov were but it look booked!).

Also on top of that Ski & Boot hire, Lift Passes and Ski School for the three of us and would like to know how much we could get private family 1:1 tuition for as well as group sessions in ski school.

Oh and finally Airport to Hotel and return transfers.

Thanks in advance...

Ian

re: First timers

Hi Ian,
I've stayed in the Rila, Samakov, Flora and Ice Angels hotels. My fav is the Ice Angels but that is without the kids! Ice Angels is new and modern, excellent position, breakfast ok but not massive selection. The spa and pool are very small ok for adults but not kids.

Stayed at the Rila 3 times. The rooms are basic and tired, especially as there are a lot more modern hotels now in resort. The best thing about the Rila is the pool, good for the kids and the breakfast was good! The ...
Hi Ian,

Stayed at the Rila 3 times. The rooms are basic and tired, especially as there are a lot more modern hotels now in resort. The best thing about the Rila is the pool, good for the kids and the breakfast was good! The Rila can also be very expensive when booking directly rather than through a tour operator and not worth the cost in my opinion.

Have you thought about the Moura, a nice refurbished budget hotel, or a lot of people on here recommend the Iglika.

As far as transfers, in the past booked through company called Profi tours, their transfers were ok, but this year booking through this site i think.

Hope this helps
