BANSCO

I like Bansko myself, good skiing, amazing scenery, modern gondola, cheap food/beer and i nice old town too. I know what people say about people trying to get you into clubs but just ignore them. There is a lot of construction going on but i'd go back.

Sounds great. A bit like a summer holiday in Lloret de Mar, I imagine?

I would not have a clue, never been to Lloret de Mar, you tell me.

Well I havent been to Bansko, so I cant really comment. But from what everyone I know has said, they would not go back and its a cess pit.

Cess pit is a bit harsh, nice town, good skiing, nice people, just needs the infrastructure to catch up a bit.

You're right, cess pit is a little harsh. I still wouldnt go there, unless it was stupid cheap compared to everywhere else, which it isnt anymore.

Don't forget that Bansko is one of the places where you could have a nice ski holiday at reasonable prices, and use quite modern ski facilities at the same time.
Lots of people are satisfied,and come back again,and again.
Regards :D

Not going to get sucked into the "My place is better than yours" debate but I will add this.

I haven't been to Bansko or Borovets but I have been to Pamporovo (2001) and my experiance was of gentle people trying hard to provide a happy experiance for guests. Some of the skiing was novice but some was quite challenging however the overall experiance was a good one.

What has happened in the last 7 yrs I don't know and probably shouldn't guess but my memories are sweet :)
