report

Just back from Borovets.I will not be returning we stayed at the samakov and no way is it a 4 star hotel.My family and I usually ski in Swizerland or USA, but this year we thought we would give a different resort a try.

I deeply regret it now- the hotel was no way like a 4 star and without meaning to sound arrogant-the hotel was full of " factory types".

I guess it was cheap- hence the quality.

It may be a good resort and hotel for some people but just not for my family and I.

You did know you where going to eastern europe did you not Tony?
You honestly did not expect to compare it to the USA / Switzerland for the price you paid did you?

i have to say that i have just returned from my first time in borovets and thought it was fantastic. I went thinking i would hate it after reading some comments on this board but it was a great holiday. Our hotel was not great but after a hard days skiing i would have happily slept in a dog kennel! I will definately recommend this resort to anyone as its great value for money.

re: report

lets face it, people who have skiied in Switzerland/USA seem not to like Bulgaria. If they prefer it there and are willing to spend the money, I see no problem. It appears that Bulgaria is better for families with children, as it becomes prohibitive to take 4 to a resort and to eat in a restaurant every evening, unless you are rich. In Bulgaria you can do this, (still). So lets not argue, people with lots of money, and who have skiied a lot, especially those who like USA, please don't expect ...

(This will be better for the lift queues anyway)
