Hi.

Me and boyf are thinking of going to Sunny beach 7th Sep 2008 for 2 weeks. I was not going too due to all the stories about prostitutes/not being able to leave ur bag on beach whilst going 4 swim/beggers, but I think we should try it.Are they really such a big problem?Can anyone suggest preferably a 4* hotel thats nice and not too far from centre?I have seen Laguna park,Fiesta beach which look ok.

What is the best place to get our levs before we go?Is Bulgaria still 60p a pint etc?

Does anyone know if it will be hot on the dates we r going?

Oh sorry for all the questions but I will be very grateful for all your help and if you need any help on Kos,Marmaris and a few other places I have been I will be happy to advise you xxx

Hi Gemma, I hardly think you and your boyfriend are going to be bothered by prostitutes if you are out as a couple.

Best place to buy lev from before you go is probably either M&S or the Post Office. Mind you it is a better rate in the resort banks.

The time you are going is usually fine, still mid to high 20's, occasional thunderstorm, bit nippy at night sometimes. I always go 1st 2 weeks in Sept and have only had one so, so year and that was last year( still came back with a tan though )

Yes you can still get a pint of beer for 1 lev ( 42p ), however, you need to get away from the beachside bars for this. They will charge 3-4 lev a pint compared to Billies Bistro, Condor, Djanny's Fara etc all up beside the market.

Clubs are obviously around the 4 lev mark.

As for hotels, for me the best is the Iberostar Sunny Beach resort Hotel, 4* and next to the beach yet only 2 minutes to the resort centre ( Thomas Cook, Balkan ) The Grand Hotel Oasis is also 4* but you can book B&B there which is ideal for SB as it is very cheap to eat out and you then won't have to worry about poor hotel food. ( Food in Iberostar is very good though )

Others will give their opinion but why not look under hotel review section which list the hotels in order of popularity by forum members.
