Absolutely superb.

Many changes even since last year. Tis is the 3rd time there, and every year it gets better. Snacks during day and night have improved. (now the burger bar has 5 or six different burgers and nuggets etc constantly available as well as two different style of chips -in wee chutes like MacDonalds, which are filed up by the cooking staff. This means plenty available at all times, and no queues.It is open until midnight also. Ths Jupiter still serves late breakfast and daytime snacks - kebabs, baked potataoe, sausages etc.)
We like the 'slightly quieter' Saturno stage (as we get served quicker!) and it was superb once again. Elvis was a great night (Mondays).
Th Circus Stage had the usual Drifters/Four Tops etc, and they have made more subsatntial bars round there, as opposed to last years portacabins.

Absolutely fantastic time once again .

(only downer was being trapped by the 'incident ' at Glasgow Airport. We were escorted around the runway and 'locked in' the departure gates from 3pm until 1 am on Sunday morning. :oops: boy it was hot with all them bodies. Then bussed to SECC, where we spent the night like war time refugees, and were then bussed back to airport - only to be refused entry once again and turned away. Our tour rep. arranged a Conference Room in the Glasgow Hilton - where 57 of us spent all day Sunday getting refreshments and sandwiches. Eventually flew out 11.30 Sunday evening.)

The burger bar offers big variety of burgers and chip2.6pm to midnight.
Restaurant not open now.....suited us better actually.
Daytime snacks even better.
Saturno has had big refurb. (new air conditioning unitsand paint makeover and new bathrooms) and is getting two more lifts next year

(found this out as my wife was invited to and went to a 'focus group' meeting with customer service manager and director of hotel. small group that were asked for views/any changes that we would like to be made etc etc...nice meeting and very friendly..they gave us their peronal email adresses in case we need anything if future or have any requests for rooms etc. they were delighted we went to meeting and mead suggestions (we got free bingo tickets and other freebies)

jupiter area still does late brakfasts, but not chanmged much, just few palm trees scattered around. stage area away at jupiter. films now shown each night in large 'cinema room' on 1st floor of saturno.

entertainment'drinkl excellent value for money.

:wink:

We went last year and had a brilliant time. Also was wondering if anyone who as already been this year could gives me some entertainment reps names. As was just wondering if there was anyone still there from when we went.

:D cheers :D

Well, John (the Norn Irish guy ) is still part of the sports Team.

The main guy Marco is still there, and good few others are still there. I recognised at least 5 or 6 of them from last year.

Hi - can anyone help? We are a family of 4 and I understand there are some family rooms available here. If not is it a squeeze in the standard room with 2 kids?
Also is it cheaper to book through the hotel or is a package cheaper? If so - which is the cheapest tour op?

We would like to go mid June 2008 from Cardiff for 2 weeks AI (2 adults & 2 kids)

Cheers x

There are large family rooms (which have separate bunk room for kids, playstation, large plasma telly etc), but they are A LOT dearer. Also in demand. Few people this year had requested them, but were not placed in them. A couple who stay near us decided to try their luck when over there, as they thought that they would get it cheaper from receptionist once they were there (bung him a few euros!), but they were quoted 210 euros PER NIGHT.
We have been there three times, and we are okay with two doubles in the room. Our two girls are 15 and 12 now. They just got ready in bathroom, or else I got ready first and went down for a beer or two before dinner to allow them to get ready in peace and then meet me for dinner.

Only used the room for sleeping at night , or a wee late afternoon sleep. 8).

We went with Cosmos last year, but this year we booked through a local travel agent, who had put together a deal. The flight was with Thomas Cook, the transfer was with Resorthoppa and the accommodation was through Cosmos. It was 250.00 cheaper than last year. (so it is worth loking into booking separate yourself).
