Hi there - as Val rightly predicted, here I am with my posting

I went to the Perun in March this year. When I booked there was only an 'artists impression' in the brochure but it looked and sounded rather splendid. When I got there I was thrilled to see it was just as I hoped, if not better

We had a super size room, the facilities were excellent ie a fantasticly VERY HOT outside swimming pool and also an outside jacuzzi - it was wonderful getting in that when it was a chilly snowdy day outside - a strange sensation! Indoor poor lovely and my son and I seemed to have this to ourselves most nights. I personally could not fault the food - a lot of people on here complain about BG food being lukewarm etc. As I explained before my young son takes forever to eat (so do I) so we are probably used to luke warm food but I did not particularly notice this as a trait of the Perun. The waiting staff were friendly and courteous (though I did find the reception staff a little 'curt' at times).

The Perun has a shuttle bus which runs to and from the gondola (only about a few minutes ride but saves the walk although my son and I often wandered back in the evening at our leisure. This bus runs very frequently so no problem there.

There are lots of other facilities - in fact I post below the link to the Perun website (if you have not already seen this) which will give you more detail.

As for Bansko as a resort - I have not been to Pamps so cannot comment on the comparison but I have been to lots of other resorts. As Val said above, it is a REAL TOWN not a commercially purpose built resort so I think it has a real sense of character etc. I personally did not venture out to pubs, clubs (and this suited me fine) because I was on my own with my 5 yr old so we tended to stay in the hotel, use the pool in the evenings etc then I would just sit and relax in the hotel room watching TV and enjoying a few bevvies (as one does)


I would highly recommend it and I can tell you that I have in fact just re-booked to return to the Perun at the same time next March - and have even requested the same room number

Hope that helps.
