Same as Arron. I think this topic is well appreciated and constructive criticism can always help. I will respond once I have had time to compile my thoughts.
Many thanks Galina, and Happy New Year to all back in Sofia.

Hi Galina,
great topic,
money should be spent on snowmaking facilites,
pistes should be better maintaned,
taxi's are without doubt ripping us off,
and the general attitude of making a quick buck on us.
Pamporovo was once looked at as a good value ski resort mainly for people on a tight budget and kids in tow, i think it is loosing that image and can see it getting worse unless thing start to turn around, alot of us that use this forum know how much things really cost in Bg, i do ...

And thankyou for starting this topic hopefully it will reach the people who need to see it.
Taxis are really frustrating last year in Plovdiv 3lv will get you anywhere in the city.At Pamps around 20 lv from the bar back to your hotel around the corner. We wouldn't pay on principle.
one reason Taxi prices are inflated is due to the cost that the hotels charge for sitting outside the fee the taxi drivers are charged is rediculous this reflects on the prices they have to charge customers, having taxi's outside the hotels is a service for the hotel guests therefor hotel owners come on and reduce the fee or have no fee at all. The change i would like to see is the same prices for all, i know that there are penalties for double pricing but obviously they are not enforced, ...

The change i would like to see is the same prices for all, i know that there are penalties for double pricing but obviously they are not enforced, also when out of the ski season grass was laid on the ski runs like in other resorts we would not need to rely on so much snow. Bulgaria needs to adapt to good service in Pamps i would not mind paying the price if the food was of good quality and the service was good but unfortunatly i rareley see this.
Galina i am in the tourist and information centre, i would be happy to have a comment book and this can be collected at the end of the season, I may need several large books lol, i would love to meet you please pop in some time.
Cleaner toilet facilities
regular cleaning of toilets
waitresses with no nail varnish
good manners by all hotel and restaurant staff
health and hygene checked in all food establishments
more regulated activities for summer and ski
activities regulated and insurance for public liability checked.
Holiday makers looking after their children not letting them run riot whilst they get drunk
If a holiday maker is drunk staff should stop serving them alcohol
safety cones in hotel showing floors are wet
soking and none smoking areas of restaurants
smoking and none smoking rooms in hotels
if there is something wrong with the food you should not be forced to pay for it
wow i need a fax roll not a forum but lets not forget the positives, yessssssssssss its still snowing they can't mess up the weather at least x
I still love Pamps! even though I've had a bad night tonight. there is lots that is good here - and I will come back. Lets hope Galina and Amanda between them can offer some influence on the local businesses here. It could be a cracking holiday resort if they manage it properly.
