We are flying at 10.25 tonight, staying at the holiday village, First Choice. My daughter and boyfriend flew out on the 20th, so they are there now. She emailed me and said that it is nice there and she is having fun (cant be bad!)
She was dissapointed in the room they were given so she complained and they changed to a much better room.
The weather is very good, but they have had a few thunder storms. She said they were great!
She mentioned that there are a lot of steps ups and downs but they weren't that bad. That was it so far, haven't heard from her again so she must be having a good time.
I am looking forward to going (can't wait) and will report back when we return. This site has given us so much information and a great big thanks to all the people who acctually write it all, it has been a great help reading it.
So long will be thinking of you when we are in the sunshine. Missing you already!!!

Hi Alan, We are going to the village two weeks today and can't wait! Hope you don't mind me asking you a few questions. What was the entertainment like for adults during the day? e.g. did they have sports running all day. Did you use any of the watersport facilities such as pedaloes and were these expensive? Did you do any of the excursions, if so what was offered to you and what were the prices?
Last Question -How much money do you feel two of us would need for one week?
Thank you so much

Would someone be able to tell me the approx transfer time please? Everytime it states a time in the brochure/holiday details, it always seems to be totally different, usually longer! I end up in my pink speedo's on the coach as it's so hot......just kidding by the way!

Has anybody just got back from here? me and the girlfriend and 2 kids are flying out at the end of July and have read some really bad reviews on this place! could anybody shed some light on this?

and whats the weather like? also when i booked the holiday it said that there was a gym, is this true?

thanks,

Darren.

Holiday village - where???

thanks for that, they read better than the ones i have been reading.

Any news on a gym?????

Hi,yes im pretty sure there was a small gym when we went last year,didnot use it but some people we met were talking about going to use it.Im sure someone will soon be able to confirm this.

Thanks for your postings.

yes there is a gym there but they charge you for the use of it, but it shouldnt cost to much, i got back last month and can tell you anything you need to know

Thanks Aaron, my girlfriend and 2 kids and myself are flying out on the 29th july and have been worried about some reviews that we have read, should we be worried? what was the food like? what was the accomodation like? the pool etc....
Are there bars and restaurants near by or will we have to go to SB.

Having been to Bulgaria a few times, and always looking for somewhere new to go, and feeling that SB has just got too big & busy for our taste, we are looking at Elenite for next year, specifically the villas. Has anyone stayed in the villas, as I'm not clear what the term "villa" encompasses in this case - are they just glorified rooms/studios, or is there somethin g I'm missing that justifies the title "villa"? None of the TO brochures/websites are very clear on this, so any clarification you guys can offer will be very much appreciated.

Googled elenite villas and it appears they are actually 2 storeyed villas.

here is a link wher you will find all the info you need inc a virtual tour of the villas

Thanks guys, I knew I could count on you

Hi all

We have booked to go to The Elenite Holiday Village in September with Direct Holidays, but all that they say is that we will be staying at the Elenite Holiday Village.

I have had a look 'on tintetnet' and as far as I can see the name Elenite Holiday Village refers to the whole resort

I have asked them if it is the Villas that we are staying in but all they can tell me is it is the Elenite Holiday Village.

Am I right in thinking that it will the Villas that we will be in
