Considering some of the reviews I read on here before going I tried not to have high expectations for the hotel or the area. However, I feel many of the comments were unfair as we experienced a fantastic holiday.
We had an apartment in the Hotel Flora which was spacious, clean and quiet. The only negative was the beds weren't very comforatable especially the kids squeaky sofa bed.
The food was fine, not fantastic but there was always something to eat even for the fussiest members of our party. Eating out in the resort is not too expensive if you wish to - slightly higher prices at the top of the mountain but thats to be expected.
Half of our group took the ski school option as we were beginners and our time was made even more enjoyable by having a fantastic friendly ski instructor. Sometimes the queues were long for the gondola and drag lifts but it was half term week so I guess it was probably their busiest week.
All in all we had a great time and I would definitely recommend both Hotel Flora and Borovets to anyone considering Bulgaria for a ski holiday.
