The pools were too cold,the food was repetitive,the shops were too expensive and you couldn't wait to get home yet you would definitely go back again

Sorry but you have lost me.

That isn't a bad selection of drinks really although I've had better before. In 2007 at the Tropical they had Efes, Fosters and another beer on the AI. 'Branded' stuff was at a charge and kept on a list pointed out by a red dot say Baileys. For the price we paid last year we can't complain (£179 each) but if people are paying £500 odd each a better range of drinks wouldn't go amiss really...

Well just taken the plunge again.....3rd visit, (first in aug 2005 when it opened, 2nd in may 07) going on 7th august for 2 weeks, 2 adults and 2 children (daughter 13 and son 10). got an excellent price with premium seats that couldn't resist. whether any new reviews are good or bad i know we will have a great time and the kids love it there so everyones happy. i is anyone else going this year

Yes going in october

July 21st for me

going tomorrow 16 of us!!! will tell you all about it when i get back.

have a great time benny47, look forward to your review - enjoy

I have been reading on the reviews that people recommend taking mainly sterling for spending money - does the resort just take notes or coins as well ? Also if you pay in sterling notes what currency will they give change in?

I know the costs of the soccer school and stage school as i will probably book these before we go but does anyone know the costs of the other things like high ropes, raft building and tennis?

Also are the pools warm in August ? i have read that at the moment they are quite cold!!

THanks for your help

The pools warm up as the weather warms up. Consequently when we went at the end of July/early August, they were like a tepid bath, very pleasant to get in when hot without the shock factor as you hit the water.

Last time i went my son went on the high ropes and i think they were 10lira or £8. The raft building was free, my son loved both. The pools were lovely and warm in august.

With regard to sunbeds and parasols.....when we went last year i actualy took my own parasol (£5 in next) and plastic base (£2 in tesco) wrapped then in a black sack with a luggage label and they arrived no problem - no bother with luggage allowance as they weighed next to nothing - this saved getting up early, as the parasols go very quick. Reading back on this topic it seems that alot of people took parasols aswell - dont get me wrong there is plenty of parasols and shaded canopies but they tend to get reserved first.

Does anyone know if there is wi-fi at the holiday village ?

hi all we go on sept 8th this will be our 3rd visit to the hol village . 2 adults 1 child age 5 and this year we will be taking the bump :). is there any1 else going on sept 8th from manchester

There is no Wi-Fi, wel there wasn't last year and I've not read it is avaliable this year either.

my son is interested in soccer school......if i book it before we go in august do i have to decide which days he would like to participate, or do you think i will be ok booking in resort.........thanks
