We saw baked potatoes available as part of the AI. We didnt see them every day but they were there most days. There's plenty of options for other spud-based treats too

Excursions. We didnt join any. Others who did recommended booking up at Benalmedina travel agents where the same excursions are offered for a third less (or better). The same coach picks up at hotel too.

We done the Fuengirola zoo, Cable car (near Tivoli) and Marina. Getting to the zoo was a bus ride + 15min walk. Cable car/Tivoli is further off the route (2 bus rides and an uphill walk) so we got a cab for 10 euros. For 4 of us it saved a lot of hassle in the heat. Zoo was great. Cable car ride was awesome, kids loved it and there is a bird of prey display at the top about 1pm - wear a hat if you dont like talons on yer noggin!!

Wish I was going back.....!

Hi, We have Just returned from a great holiday at the Holiday Village, the building work is still going on, but really doesnt effect your holiday at all. I found the hotel very clean, meals we're lovely. Towards the end of the holiday you did get bored of the food but you find this with most AI, compared to the Holiday Village in Turkey it was on the same par.

Thats great to hear Sammy. We went out to the Turkish HV twice last year and really enjoyed it, so looking forward to this one very much. Going out on 22nd June for two weeks.

Thanks

Anybody going around 8 June

We are all very excited here about our holiday, anybody going around the 8 June? we are flying from Manchester.

Also, is it a long walk from getting off the plane to the baggage reclaim area? Our daughter has limited mobility and wondering whether to book assistance.

Have just read the latest review and glad to see that people are returning with generally good reports.
Just one little question!!! I noticed that the last review said that there was no kettle in the room!! :shock:

It's just that they had them last year and in the brochure it says that all rooms have one.
I would be grateful if someone could clarify this for me as I need to know whether to pack my own travel kettle or not as I can't function in the morning without my instant fix of caffeine!!!
Thanks.

Also, the phone number that I have is (+34) 952 57 97 00.
Their fax number is (+34) 952 56 98 48.
They gave me these numbers when we were there last year, I am assuming that they are still the same.

Vodkafreak,

We certainly had a kettle in our room, we booked AI Standard room. Maybe it was juat a one off that that person didnt have one.

. Hope you have a great holiday, Im sure you will.

kids pushchair

i know its short notice,but we are flying out friday,and i was wondering if its possible to hire a pushchair for my 18 month old wee girl.?? i was planing to take one with me,but whats the story with the plane? does it go in at checkin with the cases,or when you get on board.
excuse me...FIRST HOLIDAY WITH A NIPPER!!! :lol:

Hi jaimees dad and welcome to HT!

You may be able to hire one out there, but I would recommend that you take your own. You can keep it until you board the plane, which may be handy for a tired youngster, and it doesn't count as part of your baggage allowance. They will take it from you as you board and put it in the hold. You can then retrieve it at the baggage carousel.

Buggies and Planes

We flew 2 years ago and we got to keep our pram right until we got on the plane, if I remember rightly those flying with children also board the plane first.

We are flying also on Friday, at 6am, so are leaving home at 3am, never mind it is all part of the fun of going on holiday

Thanks for the reply Vodkafreak. Need to leave a contact number at home before we went on holiday (4 weeks and counting woohoo). Mothers! It doesn't matter how old you are they always worry about you. :roll:

Back again! We are travelling with a 15 month old and the flight is around lunchtime so obviously she'll need fed. What can I take/not take on board with me food wise.
