This may be a bit of an essay but its my first time to write on this and i thought only fair as I found it so good for advice before I left.
1st - flew with Monarch booked with Sunway. Monarch is the smallest seating aircraft I%26#39;ve been on and to have an exit seat costs 31euro per seat one way. My boyfriend is 6%26#39; 8%26#39;%26#39; so absolutely no choice. But what was bad was that when we were on the flight the stewards just let people sit there - ah well what can you do!!
We stayed in Victoria Palace - we were HB. The place was lovely spotless they are constantly cleaning everywhere all the time and the food was very nice, a good choice every night. The only thing was that your given a time slot depending on which floor your on but that was the only thing. The room was the worst part, by comparisson to the hotel itself it was a let down but clean, fresh towels and strong shower with bath so really not too much to complain about.
Currency - From peoples comments here I had learned that The String opposite the Diamond hotel was the best rate and indeed it was. We got the euro changed over for 1 - 1.93/4
Tours - Once again I had been warned that not to book with the travel agent and it is soooooo true, they are a complete rip off. We booked all 5 of our trips with Gala tours in the centre strip. All the trips were cheaper by 10-20lev each and for booking more than 1 we got an overall discount of 8%. They do exactly the same as in pick you up from either your hotel or nearest bus stop and bring you straight back.
Khans tent - an excellent night really enjoyable, food was gorgeous and I was so surprised as waiting on your table is a soft drink and a full bottle of wine each per adult!! And its nice wine not muck even better.
Yacht Cruise - We were picked up along with a full coach and brought to Nessebar. Then we were split up. I dont know how they choose but we got the best one by far I think. We were on a new fab yacht called Bubo. It took 16 passengers and had bout 4 crew and 2 dogs!! It was stunning, crew were great fun and they had drinking games for anyone interested and food and plenty of drinks. It was a great trip and I would really recommend it, as I said though others ended up on not as nice - have no idea what the difference in name etc was....
Horse Riding - we went for 2 hours just because it was something we always wanted to do. We were pure beginners and not a problem. We were led around on a walking tour and it was really nice but sore on the rear end!! If you have some experience it would probably be better as they were wiling to let you off to your own devices and follow the tracks.
Blue Mountain - This trip should really come with a warning for the simple fact that it is a LONG day. We were picked up at 8am and didn%26#39;t get back till 7pm. The guide was very good and thorough and we did learn bit bout history and culture and you did get rest periods but its just a very long day.
Sea fishing - they%26#39;re was only 5 of us so they asked if we would go out on just a small boat instead (obviously to save petrol) but we had no problem. The 3 crew tended to the rods everytime putting fresh bate on for you and it was good fun. The second part of the trip your brought back out to swim but we decided to go round Nessebar instead and for us it was the best option and good use of time.
Places to eat....
Nessebar we decided to go out for an evening meal to restaurant called Romantica. Its right on the sea front along with the whole strip of restaurants. This place was absolutely gorgeous and very good price. We had 2 starters, a whole lobster another main with 2 sides and drinks and our bill including a nice tip came to bout 70euro. Warning the portions are very big....we had to leave alot behind just couldn%26#39;t fit it in.
There%26#39;s a place right beside Victoria Palace called Friends - we ate here the last 2 nights and it was lovely. There grill items are fab. I had the steak both nights cooked to perfection.
Nightlife - we are only into Hip Hop and RnB to our surprise they actually play alot of the songs in the stores which was great. But we found a really nice spot called BOUNCE in sunny beach strip. The best atmosphere, crowd, music and drinks. Absolutely loved it. And no trouble around it at all.
Amigo bar on the sunny beach front it a lovely cocktail bar and great tricks a good start to a night.
We had a great time and the weather was fabulous I%26#39;m more than happy to help out with any questions bout anything we went round quite a few places so feel free to ask. Sorry if this is too long just wanted to give a good insight

We only went in Friends once during our trip but will definitely check it out next year for steak. Cheers!
