I cannot understand why anyone would go all inclusive in Bulgaria. We have just got back and for the two of us to eat and drink for a fortnight we spent £300. We do only drink mainly soft drinks. However we do not feel we missed out on anything and ate and drank to our satisfaction. Room only and flight cost us £625.
Spoke to one bar owner with regards to how quiet his bar was and he said that all inclusive was a major factor affecting his business. Such a shame as it is a lovely bar.
I must add that if you feel the need to go all inclusive then I respect that but I will not pretend that I can understand it as there are so many nice bars to visit.

Totally agree with you. I never recommend AI in Bulgaria,with most of the AI hotels you will find the majority of guests complain about the food and end up spending in the resort. I think many of the bars and restaurants are sufferring this year, due to the AI, as you said, also the number of apartments and people self catering.
weve been going A/I for the past 5 years it works out cheaper, but saying that we also spend on eating and drinking out and on trips, weve been BB with separate flight and that works out more expensive
3 adults, in a 2 bed apartment.Total cost,including flights, £1000 for 2 weeks between us. Flying Friday, is this not a good deal .We can pick and choose as we wish which I think is the best way to enjoy Bulgaria.
A/! 2 adults and child £1200 for 2 weeks, then we can pick and choose any extras we want, knowing at least the basics are covered
Still think I got a good deal at £620 for flights and room only. As you say the choice is yours then as to what you do. My total holiday cost me £920 for two adults for two weeks.
We always try to get SC but will go b&b as I can eat anything & the wife & kids don't usually get up in time for breakfast
AI is killing resorts
Bulgarian people don't benefit from AI ...only the big bosses & the companies that own the resorts & hotels.
However, I know that many people especially families with young kids, prefer all incl and I can understand that because of the amount of soft drinks, snacks etc. they can consume.
We go AI all the time but hate staying by the pool so we go out and explore go the local shops,pubs and restaurants as well.
You can still go out to eat whether you are AI or not.
Why do people think that if you go AI you have to stay in the hotel and never go out.
I totally agree - you get a wristband, not a ball & chain! I've done B&B, HB & AI in Bulgaria, so I know that AI works best for us. We can do what we want, when we want, just like anybody else, but we don't have to trail around looking at menus, trying to decide which place to go to every night. if we see somewhere we fancy, we'll go there, but we can also stay put if we want to, especially on "pool days".
Last time we were there, we hired a taxi for a few days, and let the driver decide where we went, and had a great time, and will it again - that's how we put back into the local economy, so don't judge me with the rest.

doonhamer well said i also go all inclusive i have best of both worlds to eat in or out and like you i dont eat everynight in hotel and 1wk all inclusive in laguna park s beach only cost me 483 and food was good
Most of these all inclusive hotels are a bit below standard you are looking for .For example most of them have no aircon which in high summer is a must .
