have i done the right thing?

guys, i'm taking my hen party to borovets 21st-28th jan. i understand that the resort may not be as luxurious as others but i have a number of first-timers so value was key in choosing the right resort. there is only one thing that now bothers me - is there really a threat of robbery? and are there beggars and prostitutes about the place?

re: have i done the right thing?

there is nothing to worry about at all, you will have a fantastic trip. there are afew beggars but refuse politely and you will have no probs! enjoy

re: have i done the right thing?

It's well dodgy, I went there last year and got robbed by a beggar prostitute in a less than luxurious hovel that was advertised as a plush hotel.

Camp Freddy.

As a Borovets veteran of 6 years I can safely say you wil have no problems. Two kids will ask for money but thats it, the only Pro's will be easily seen as they were shocking clothes, but they will sit in a corner of the Rila Bar and you will not know they are there. Its great fun and you'll have a ball !!

re: have i done the right thing?

my children are happy to play there while we board and im happy with the children to play
they see the beggers but kids nor me have had any problems and as for the pros yes you see them but as youre on a hen do then youl be fine, they go for the men to give flyers to etc
its a great place and we love it go and enjoy

(sarcasm is all about subtley, but if it suits you better, you carry on TROWELLING IT ON!!) i only asked because of 8, 5 are total newcomers to this and i'm trying to get them into snowboarding - that won't happen if they have a nightmare holiday. still, what do i care... the wedding's in whistler!!! woo-hoo!!!!
