Can I pick your brains re the Finlandia?
Whats the food like etc, is it a long way from the heart of resort, Do you pay for the swimming etc & my son wants to know if there are any good ski shops & my husband wants to know if the beer/wine's cheap?
Cheers

Went 2 years ago and found the food great its served a little cool but it's ok
You will have to use transport to get to the resort or as we did we went after the days skiing on the local bus then took a taxi back to the hotel after swiming is free you pay for the spar etc there are some ski shops but others will know better than me about the value for money the beer & wine is cheep try the zagra beer its good and cheep
PS there is Free transport to and from the ski slops from the hotel ...

re: Mary from Finlandia, Pamps
You mean not Zagra,but Zagorka beer,right?Some of the best beer in BG are Kamenitza,Shumensko,but there are so many others-all worth the try...Every town makes its own!About food-it's not hot only for health reasons(so you don't burn your tongue,throat and for good your stomach digestion).re: Mary from Finlandia, Pamps
Hi Gill
Just back from Finlandia on Sunday, the hotel is lovely and very picturesque with the snow. Beer is about 70p for a 500ml bottle of local or Amstel, stella 500ml is about £1.04. A bottle of wine with dinner is £4.80, the drinks seemed a little cheaper here than the other hotels. I am very fussy and always managed to find something to eat, but always had a big lunch so didn't eat much dinner. The hotel is a few minuntes bus ride (free bus) from the ski depo and a few minutes ...

The hotel is a few minuntes bus ride (free bus) from the ski depo and a few minutes bus ride to the other hotels/bars/restuarants etc. You can get the hotel bus at night for 1 lev each at 7pm and 8pm into resort and back again at 10pm, a taxi will cost between 12 and 15 leva. The swimming pool is free, the jacuzzi is 9 leva for 2 people for 20 mins or 6 leva for one, and not sure how much you pay for the sauna and steam room. We had a great time and are going back to the Finlandia next year, hope this helps.
