We tried all three, you have to book at reception as soon as you can as they are often full, and although they were small and had small menus, we just liked the change of getting waited on etc. The day before we went home my husband just went back to reception and asked if we could book again for any of them, for our last night, and they fitted us in to the Asian. I can't remember the menu. The Italian with the most popular, my favourite, my husband and daughter liked the Turkish one best.

we went Ai family plus with FC last month and all they did in the kids clubs was stay in a really small room and play games. one day there was 75 kids and 4 reps. it seems they do lots more at PP.

bit worried about the chicken pox as being on my own out there i would hate for ds (4) to catch them.

we are going 31st aug - does it get chilly in the evening? we had crayp weather cloudy most of they day in fuerteventura so looking forward to some hot hot sun!!

just went to have a look at FC site. from last nite its now gone up by £120 for same week. would be gutted now if i had waited. :lol:

did anyone book their late checkout room when they arrived at PP. how much if you want to stay tilll 10pm? (£44 till 6pm seemed expensive).
thanks

How cold are the swimming pools in Oct? I'm thinking more about my son who is 2. Would you recommend me buying him a wetsuit?

Mary.

There is a water park in Marmaris.

hi mwvickers, we went on the 17th oct last year with 5 children aged 16, 12, 9, 7 and 10 months. all my children went in the pools and said they wer'nt too bad once in but i dipped my foot in and it was sooo cold i decided not to go in and would'nt take the baby in. but i dont want to put you off i think you are going at the beginning of the month arnt you so might be bit warmer or they might decide to heat them this year.
its a great place, have a great time.

Does anyone who's just got back know what the situation is regarding chicken pox out there at the moment as one of our party is on medication which could prove extremely dangerous if she contracts chicken pox.

chrisbluenose - we went on the First Choice Eco trip (jeep safari) and it was the best trip we have been on in ages. Our 13 year old loved it and so did all the others on the trip. Advice if you go, wear swimming gear and old shorts and tshirt, and take a water proof bag!

A week to go and packing commences - so a couple of quick questions-

Are there toiletries in bathroom ie, shampoo etc ?
Is there coffee making facilities in room?

Also Mustafa gets good reviews on this site - how easy is it to book with him, how busy does he get, is it necessary to book ahead by email or can you usually get on when there ?

colin d barber, we never went on any trips but vicky06 is out there and she booked with mustafa with no problem.

elbow... i never saw anyone with chicken pox when wwere there (we've been back nearly a week... wish we were still there!) my 19 month lod has never had chicken pox and never contracted them while there although she got a virus on the last day which our doctor said is related to chicken pox but only lasted 4 days so who knows!!! try not to worry

I wouldn't have thought your friend is at much more risk than he/she would be going about her normal business at home. It's a very big hotel, chances are there will almost always be someone going down with some illness or other.

we had lots of soap and several bottles of shower gel in our room

if you aren't planning to do any trips then you won't NEED any money, but we spent about £60 in a week on things we didn't need, such as 1 or 2 newspapers every morning, some lovely bath towels from the market, a few presents to bring home and a couple of packets of cigarettes. The children had their own pocket money and each spent about £45 on clothes for the girls and gameboy games for the boys.

hi niajones, how old are your kids? are they going to go to the kids club cos if they are there are some payable evening sessions at £2 each 3 times a week. you wont need much money but its best to take some just in case you see something you want. there is a cashpoint machine in saregarmie village if you did'nt want to take much cash.
