Good Points

The entertainment was very good. The staff were lovely. The swimming pool was fun, dirty but fun.
Hot chocolate at the Rosso bar ( my only enjoyment of the week)


Bad Points

Ok here goes. Filthy. Old. Crammed. Expensive. Poor recycling facilities. Noisy. No healthy food available.


General Comments

On arrival and finally finding the book in desk, we had to lug all our luggage right across the site. Then we arrived to this ancient building where we had to climb some filthy ancient fire escape stairs to the third floor of what looked and smelt like council flats. The apartment was supposed to be silver we paid £477 for the week. What a dive. It was filthy and tiny. I never complain but I did, they were fully booked until the Monday which they did move us to silver+ which was a lot better.
It certainly was not value for money. Everything costs extra. The place is grotty, run down. We couldn't wait for it to be over.
Walls are like paper so got woke up every morning by neighbours and seagulls.
Entertainment was very good, but people have horns coming out of their head as they run pushing and shoving through the opened doors of the club after queuing for an hour or more past you. All's fair as you fight your way to get a table. I have never seen people literally run and push people out of the way to get a table before. An experience I am trying to forget. What it must have been like in these clubs when you could smoke lord only knows. Back to the new forest for us next year.
