Hi Big Al, we were at the Rila last Feb, will be there again at xmas and again in Feb 08!!! enuff said???? You will love it, the food isnt up to much but its cheap enough to eat out so no probs.
Stayed at the Rila last year. Nice hotel, bit of a queue on 1st day for ski equipment. Cold swimming pool, but lovely warm jacuzzi. Very central to main area. Good choice of food, although luke warm. You will love it
