Hi. Returned on 14th August after a two week stay in Sunny Beach. We had never been before and were really worried about going. We had a great time - one of the best holidays we have had. My husband and I stayed in a one bedroom apartment in Green Fort Complex. Excellent apartment, good value for money. It is located on the main road through Sunny Beach but out of the centre.It is 200 metres from the beach across the main road. Ideal location. I will put a full review on trip advisor but I wanted to reassure anyone who is going that the stuff you read about muggings, prositutes etc is not true in our experience. We were carefully with our wallets and invested in a waterproof wallet to put our money and key in when we were on the beach - really usefully.

Hi glad u had a nice time. we are going friday 4 a week. can i ask did u exch monies there? was it better thn home if you did?

Good to hear you had a great holiday Ang. Another Bulgarian convert I think.
Better rate of exchange in Bulgaria than at home. We always use the STRING, its in the Avenue Centre directly opposite the Diamond Hotel. Has the best rate for cash and is 100% safe.

just returned on sun 16th from 2 weeks in sb not one problem didnt see any trouble used the string exchange all the time
|||
I only exchanged £100 before we went got a decent exchange rate. Took £50 in cash and exchanged there in a booth. Terrible rate. We used our visa card and drew from our account. Rate was good and it is safer in the bank. Better to draw what you need every 3 or 4 days. Bank charged a small amount but we were happy to pay. Hope this is helpful. Have a great holiday.

Hi Welshlady. I am now a great fan of SB. I was very nervous going out but it is a fantastic place which caters for everyones needs. I can%26#39;t see the point holidaying where-ever the euro is when SB has everything to offer without %26#39;ripping%26#39; people off. Happy holidays!!!

Hi Ange
When I was first persuaded to visit Bulgaria about 12years ago, I didnt even know where it was! Been back twice a year since then. Looking forward to going again on 31st August. Travelled to most of the country and we love it and have fantastic Bulgarian friends.,...thats why we go 1st week in September mostly because one of our Bg friends celebrates her birthday on 7th September.
We also go to Gran Canaria a couple of times a year, always for Christmas and New Year BUt now its very expensive mostly due to the euro exchange rate.
Sounds like you are deffo returning at some time.

Glad to once again hear of positive experiences for SB, especially from first time visitors.
It still saddens me to hear of people getting ripped off in the exchange booths no matter how many times people like Welshlady and myself warn them. If you use a booth CROWN EXCHANGES only. Better still use the banks or STRING Exchange.

I used the forum a great deal before I went and would like to thank you Toonman and Welshlady for your help before we went. We will be going back next year and now my 2 daughters and son are very interested in taking their families. I think we have found a GEM and looking forward to exploring more of Bulgaria.
