“First off we had a great time. We loved the apartment, found it very cosy and the bed really comfortable. We had our car there so we could nip in and out of the town. We took our car to the gondola every morning, got there about 8.15 and the queue wasn't too long. Any later I think you would have been in a long queue. Going early suited us though because we also finished early, the snow conditions were best in the morning as well. We found the slopes well organised and well run too. Plenty of places for food and drink, and once on the slopes the queues were not long at all. We met an English woman who said there wasn't much for advanced skiers but I think there was plenty to keep you going for a week. We enjoyed some of the long runs down to the very bottom. In the town we ate early, once in The Log House, once in The Stone House and once in Amigo. All good, good value and huge portions, we didn't go back in in the evenings apart from one time Pete went to watch the rugby in the Royal Bar. Looked like you could party pretty hard if that was your thing! We found the people in the bars and shops friendly. Staff in ski hire, Skimania, very helpful and quick service. We ate at St Ivan Hotel twice once in the place downstairs and once in the Lobby Bar. Both good too. We also spent an afternoon at the pool and spa. Great value for 20 lev. Take flip flops if you have them. Loved sitting on the balcony at the apartment for a while in the afternoons before the sun went away. We watched a DVD every night, you have a good selection, the only difficulty was agreeing what to watch! The complex was pretty quiet when we were there. Again the staff were friendly, especially the guy who operated the gate. Got a wave from him every time. I would love to go back in the spring or Autumn for walking and cycling. ”
