hi on the verge of booking Pamporovo, but never having been to this resort I was wondering how far from the resort is it to the slopes, and are there any real drawbacks to this resort?
Only downside of staying at the Hotel Pamporovo is that is is virtually the last pick-up point for the busses so often they are full and you have to wait a little longer.
As for allocation on arrival, that's something I personally would never do in Bulgaria due to the vast variance in standards. However there are very few 'poor' hotels in this resort.
Drink at Bj's in the Perlik and Daks bar.The Markony for apres ski. Try and eat out a couple of times food is much better. The White house restaurant by your hotel is very good. Apart from dody female singers!
