just returned back from Sunny Beach!! Great holiday

Myself and my fella returned back from Sunny Beach this morning after a fantastic week away.We%26#39;re 29 and 28yrs.We stayed at Iberostar Sunny Beach,great hotel,very clean and would stay there again, only let down was the food.It was dire,we were half board but ate out every night and most breakfast.Getting a sunbed wasn%26#39;r too much of a problem,although the Germans were out in full force if oyu didn%26#39;t get up early enough.

The resort of Sunny beach was a lot bigger than i had expected,the beach is lovely although 7 lv each for a bed,parasol could end up costly for a family.Buy some lilos and lie on them if you dont want to shell that out each day.

The gypsies with the fruit are annoying but just tell them %26quot;no%26quot; and they will back off.

We loved wandering round the many shops and bought loads of G Star raw jeans,tops etc.For all you KFed fans,theres loads of Ed Hardy clothes.

We ate out quite a few times whilst there.DJannys is fantastic with queues of people outside waiting to get in,always a good sign.Also,Far A was nice,i had a lovely Shepherds salad there.

Billys Bistro was a bit hit and miss,wouldn%26#39;t eat there again.Just down from Billys Bistro is a restaurant called Brothers,here we ordered a combo for starters,which i have to admit was gorgeous,then we had steak.I would recommend this place,it was lovely.We had mexican food one night in The Funny Pub,that was lovely.For lunch we normally had a kebab or a huge jacket potato from one of the street fast food places.

We only went on one trip and that was Khans Tent,what a rip off that was.We weren%26#39;t the only ones who thought we had been robbed of our hard earned holiday spends,%26quot;spectacular cabaret%26quot; and %26quot;the best night out in bulgaria%26quot; is how the rep described it.Well im sorry,been crammed in a restaurant with entertainment that wouldn%26#39;t get passed the first round of britains got talent isnt my cup of tea.Sounds harsh,but if you%26#39;re over 45 and don%26#39;t get out much, then you%26#39;ll enjoy it.I looked around at one point and most people were yawning.

When drinking in the bars we enjoyed the many cocktails that were on a BOGOF offer,Corner bar was great,as was The Funny Pub,they had a great live band there.Malinas was great for a chilled out relaxing drink watching the football,0.79 for a beer.I loved Sunny Beach and would urge anyone who likes a lively holiday to go.We will be booking again.

Hi Ange, Glad to herar you had a good time.

Disappointed in the comments about the Iberostar. We normally stay in this hotel and have had nothing but excellent service and standards from them,

Last year food was superb and I put on half a stone, especially liked the fried to order omelettes.

Couldn%26#39;t get in this year due to it being full ( flying out tomorrow )and quite a number of forum members stay there. Lets just hope your disappointment was a one off.

me again Ange, Meant to say if you have booked KT with a rep you will get ripped off( earlier poster said about 80 lev ). Recent returnee only paid 53 lev and a choice of meals unlike the reps night .

Hi Toonman

Thanks for your reply,the Iberostar was a fantastic hotel.I would stay there again, but maybe on b%26amp;b basis.Rooms were kept so clean by the hardworking maids.I liked how they played music into the bathrooms.Ive stayed at several Iberostars all over and they haven%26#39;t dissapointed me.The food however at this one was terrible.The pancaskes and omlettes in the morning were nice.The evening meal was just terrible,not much choice at all.

I wanted to book KH independently but my other half was a bit wary,I work for Thomson and know they charge silly amounts for trips,sadly they dont give freebies to staff!!

Thanks for all your fantastic advice prior to my holiday on here,we shall be booking to go Sunny Beach again
