Bulgaria Ski discussion board

The Perelik was at one time the most popular hotel in the resort and is still one of the first considerations for many who wish to stay in the heart of the resort. However it is starting to get a little dated and whilst many rooms have been refurbished recently there are now better hotels within the resort. Stayed there many times and never over impressed with the food but it's passable.

The location is fabulous for nightlife with several bars and clubs within the complex. You also have a covered walkway between the Perelik and Morgavets hotels where you will find lots of shops selling ski and boarding stuff. There is also a chemists there as well. Ten pin bowling, pool, and games room can all be accessed without going outside. There is also a cash dispenser in the mail lobby.

My honest opinion of the Perelik is that it is still an OK hotel and I'm sure you will find it to your liking - it's just been overtaken in the last few years for quality by some of the more recently built and upgraded hotels.

I don't know if you know the Perelik this year is going 'all inclusive' so if you've got this option all meals in hotel and on the slopes and drinks are included as below:

Hot and cold breakfast buffet • lunch on the slopes or at the hotel • an afternoon snack on the slopes or at the hotel • 3 course buffet style evening meal • weekly local specialities evening • hot drinks 12:00-21:00 • soft drinks 12:00-21:00 • Bulgarian beer & wine 12:00-22:00 • Bulgarian brandy, cognac, vodka, rum and cocktails 18:30-22:00

This means the hotel will be used more by the guests who are on the AI option, so the bars and restaurants will be more lively.

I'm staying there 21 Jan and got a fantastic deal,2 adults 'all inclusive', flight, transfers and full ski packs for £723 (for both of us!).

From what I can gether they have a arrangement with a bar/resteraunt on the slopes where you can go for lunch & drinks Im pressuming at certain times and then again in the afternoon for snack and drinks.
Does state that these can be taken in the hotel or the slopes.
AI in the hotel looks like alchol will be served untill 10pm with the AI option.

Agreed seemed very good value we are a family of 2 adults and 3 kids all having 5 days tution equipment etc 24-31 Dec £2500 couldnt be beaten.
Just hoping the hotel is what we have seen in the brouchure that is all.

Pete,

You are only quoting the one line and failed to read the actual description of the AI deal which clearly states, and I quote, 'lunch on the slopes or at the hotel • an afternoon snack on the slopes or at the hotel'

This does not mean you can go from Bar to Bar eating and drinking along the way anywhere on the slopes!

As for in the evening at the hotel then the AI works the same as any other up till 10.00pm

Here is the actual description of the AI option taken from the Balkan website:

Trevor - you say -----

Trevor - that does not say where on the slopes, it merely states lunch on the slopes. So does that mean a packed lunch, or does it mean lunch in a restaurant? If it is a restaurant - which one?

The point I'm trying to clarify is this.
If part of the cost of my holiday included lunch on the slopes I would want to know where that lunch is. Will it be in a warm restaurant where I can choose whatever I want,or will it be just a packed lunch that I would have to eat out in the cold? If it is in a restaurant and I have to eat in the same restaurant every single day, I would want to know if it is a restaurant that I like and if the foods good there. Also, what is included in 'the meal'. 1 course - 2 courses - 3 courses? Or just a sandwich and an apple?

I'm not knocking it - I would just like to know a little more detail.
