We also went to csr last August, and yes it was hot! As with Happyhammer, we had 2 children with us, the youngest one being only 6 yrs old, and had no problems whatsoever. He also spent most of the time in the pool and was caked in a very high factor and came home with a real good tan. :P

Duncan,
There were no problems getting sunbeds on the beach, but you had to be up by 7.30ish to get any round the pools with shades. There was one morning when we could'nt get a shade and the heat was unbearable, so we ended up on the beach under a shade.
If you do decide to go to csr, you won't be disapointed. Roll on August, when we go back again! :D

Getting up at 7 for a bed at pool just spoilt our hol to be honest. We could get a bed at anytime at the beach though... just tipped the towel boy and he could get us a bed anywere.

What time of year was that Ellie?

How much did you tip the lads? Does everyone do this?

That was July. Tipped them 2LE per day, which is nothing I know but its a lot to them.

Elle, was that for a bed by the pool ??

We could NEVER get a bed by the pool until late afternoon, which was really annoying. What we found was that people were reserving beds with their own beach towels at the pool, then going to the beach and coming back late afternoon. If only these towels had been removed by staff there would have been enough beds for everyone. But I suppose this can happen anywhere, not just the CSR. For some reason though you could get a bed on the beach, at anytime... you just wander down and a lad will appear with a smile, and shall ask you how many beds you would like, and they seem to conjure them up from somewhere. They also supply your towels there too, a card system. We were there when it first opened, perhaps they have got more beds at the pool side now. I have got to say though that I did like the tranquility of the beach, although its just over a path from the hotel pool, but it was a bit quieter, then wandering over to the pool late afternoon and enjoyed the odd cocktail!!!!! :wink:

Like I have said in the passed we were there last Aug and had no problem getting a sun bed around the pool,At 10am the pool lad`s removed all towels and belongings from any unoccupied bed`s we found it fair.And also they do try to find you them any time of the day.I`m sure you will be ok and enjoy your holidaysyou lucky people who are going soon.

I am not going to worry about this sunbed thing, I am cheeky enough to remove a towel if nobody is there after sometime :roll:

But it seems that most people have said that by 10am vacant sunbeds with towels will be removed so I am happy with this.
Reply
Glad to hear that they are removing towels at 10 if vacant... that will knock things on a head for people reserving both beach and pool. :lol:

we are going in the morning and if the only thing we have got to "worry" about is a sunbed :twisted: then we will be happy :lol: .Some people can complain about anything.

What exactly does that mean jessdale??

It was not a complaint, it was a question !!
