borovets or bansko?

hi, im just in the process of booking a holiday to bulgaria but am not sure on which resort to choose! have spoken to a couple of different tour operators and one suggested Borovets, which sounded the most lively of the resorts and oldest resort, but then another said that Bansko has just had a lot of money invested into it, new hotels, modern ski equipment, but i am concerned that there will be building work, has anyone got any info on either or which one is best?!! need to make a decision ...

re: borovets or bansko?

been to both borovets and bansko, I prefered Bansko for the skiing to be honest, there is a lot of contruction going on, but it wasn`t noisy, in fact, they weren`t even working I don`t think...they must have all gone skiing...

Very good snow in mid March (i'm told).

I can suggest a way you can get a really good deal going out on 11th March 2005 if you can fly from Manchester.

Let me know if you can go from Manchester on that date.

I have just come back from bansko and found the skiiing fantastic.
As for the building work the municipality blocked all work over the ski season. The building work is all on the outskirts of the town.
Within the old town there are scores of old mehana bars, with entertainment and log fires, you cant go wrong with Bansko you will have no regrets.

re: borovets or bansko?

bansko def the best resort. skiing is much better, more runs, newer equipment. nightlife pretty good, some newer bars recently opened like the buddha bar have stripclubs over them. building work not intrusive at all as it all on outskirts of town.
