Hotel food, or best places to eat if hotel food is naff.

Best form of currency to take and where to get the best exchange rate.

Best places to go for apres ski, do they have live musicians?

Is there anywhere to go skidoo-ing, what are the prices??

Should we avoid any places?

1. Hotel breakfasts are ok! Dinners are not so hot (not sure about Pamporovo hotel), any of the outside restaurants are good, but watch this space for my report when I get back on the 7th feb.

2. Best currency is more often than not Sterling. TC attract a higher rate of commission.

3. Loads of bars in the centre of resort (which is about a 5 minute cab ride from hotel pamporovo costing about 6-8 levs.) again watch for my report.

4. Ski dooing is available, and according to previous post on here are about £20-£30 for a safari!

5. Hotel Pamporovo is the top hotel in the resort, very comfortable!

6. All ski kit can be left at the Malina ski depot, not sure about private equipment!

7. Eating out is very cheap, you can easily have 3 course meal with wine and night out for under £20.00 a head.

Hiya,

Good report from ally,

I stayed in Perelik which was centre of resort...all the bars and night life within 5 mins walk..as is the Pamporovo hotel. Food in hotel ok...ish but eating out..ally must have had lots to drink for £20........£10 was about the average.
First night had 20levs in my pocket..with the happy hours could not spend it all
You can leave your ski/boots at the malina depot...that was with inghams...sure the rest is the same.

re: Pamporovo Info please

If you spend £20 eating and drinking out you may not be able to get up in the morning.
I left my own skis at the malina depot onder the watchful eye of one of the staff. I dont think boots should be a problem.
Have Fun
