roda girl,
please remember to give us an update when you get back, and do a review,as it helps everyone else.
one of the better features of the maripins was that the waiters would serve you drinks/food while you were lying on your sunbed by the pool.
it was worth giving them a small tip every day for this service. i would be very interested to know if you can still do that.
also, a last tip before you go, the sunbeds can be a bit hard if you lie on them all day being waited upon, but a couple of doors along from the hotel they sell very cheap lilos which are ideal for laying on top of the sunbeds. just leave them by the pool or pass them on to some white legged brit when you leave
