We've only ever been to Bulgaria (Borovets twice). We find the hotels very comfortable and clean (if a little basic) and the food on half board average at best.

However, the holiday itself is very reasonably priced compared to France, Austria etc (nearly half the price), the food and drink in the town is very good and very cheap (we eat out at least 3 or 4 times for not a lot), the instruction is first class and the skiing is great for beginners.

If you are after a fashionable holiday ...

If you are after a fashionable holiday it's probably not for you, but if you are after value for money you can't go wrong.

23rd time this year -- and it keeps getting better.

Food is fine -- unless you are use to Cavier and pink salmon of course. Otherwise it is fine. Was bad 10 years ago, but not anymore.

Food is better if you eat out of the hotels. Very Happy

We took our first family skiing holiday in Borovets last year and loved it. The people were friendly the scenery beautiful and the prices very competive £1.20 for treble JD and coke, 12" Pizza £4, steak about £7. If the food in the hotels isn't up to much eating out won't sting you over the odds which was nice.

We stayed at the Rila by the way and couldn't fault it. Razz
