Sunny Beach Bulgaria August 2011

HMorey

Hi

Was wondering if anyone is going to Sunny Beach in August 2011. I have booked for the first three weeks with my son who will be 17 while we are over there. He says he won't come unless he can meet people of his own age. Would be great if someone else with teens was going at the same time. Guess he's grown out of going with his mother on holidays but he's too young to go alone. I would be grateful for any replies.

Hmmm. Someone needs a dose of cop-on for his birthday, methinks!

Sunny Beach is pretty family orientated and there are bound to be plenty of bored teens looking to keep each other company. Some may even be girls! :eek: One of our regulars is a bit of an expert on the place, so no doubt he'll have good info for you.

FWIW, I went on my first holiday alone when I was 16. Touring UK for two weeks... Hardly Ayia Napa, but the feeling of independence was great! There wasn't a hope of my folks taking me away with them anyway.

was in sunny beach two years ago.. the resort is mobbed with young teens, there to have a good time.. i found sunny beach wasnt very family orientated regarding things like water parks etc. but if your son is a typical teen and enjoys going out meeting people he shouldnt have any worries.

Have heard a lot about sunny beach but have never gone there. I have heard stories about that it is very popular among teens and is very good place to hang up socially with unknown people.

Hi PM,
Im in exactly the same position. Me, my wife and my 17 year old son are headin to sunny beach 2moro. He really doesn't want to be stuck with us the whole time so i'll let you know how he gets on. Pity your not going the same week.

Yes it is a pity but you can let me know how he gets on. Have a lovely holiday.

3 weeks might be a bit long if things aren't working out. Suppose it depends on the people that are in the spot you are staying wheather he will enjoy it or not. We are going there next Wednesday. Kids are younger though.

Trust me, Trust me. If he goes on any of the pub crawl's (Not near as bad as they sound) he will find massive groups of people from every part of the globe! And even girls! I'm not sure on the OP's opinion on him drinking as he is only 17 but the drinks from some of the pub crawls are watered down!

I can guarantee he will meet lots of young teens in Sunny Beach!

Hi. Just arrived home today after the holiday with my wife and my 17 year old son. Even though he didnt meet any other people he had a great time. After seein so many other ''3 person'' families with an elderly child he was happy to stay with us. Id say to definetely keep your son away from any of the groups of boys as all they do is drink all day and night and believe me you dont want your son involved. Anyway its hard to meet other teenagers as everyday people are going on tours, etc. so you rarely see the same people for more than 2 days. Hope this helps and you have a great holiday. Sunny beach is great but after 12 its very drunken with teens!

HMorey

Thank you for the advice. He is going home after 2 weeks with some people that I know, so he will have to be satisfied with that. Glad you had a nice holiday
