Who did you book with? went last year Kempinski/Bansko with Balkan, we are finding it hard to book for this March if weather conditions stay ok.
Cheers.

I agree the Kempinski is a fantastic hotel, I have been loking for next year to & found the Balkan Holidays are on sale & have a loyalty discount thing going on. Which means more beer money for Amigos!!!!

The previous year so if you went this winter you get 5% off next winters, not bad really better the money being in your pocket then theirs. Phone them up or I think your travel agent can do this.
