Note: Some resort facilities such as; usage of Olympic swimming pool, bike hire, playing golf, etc. and activities such as; Swimming training, golf coaching are not included in the price, and will require additional payment to the resort.
What do I need to bring?
Seriously! Just your usual stuff for a summer holiday, loose clothing for your daily salsa dancing, pilates, yoga and fitness activities, your swimming & tanning. Don’t forget to bring coffee and tea for your room, your personal delights.
All rooms have a kettle, fridge and safe. Your room will be cleaned and towels replaced daily.
Just in case you forget something, there is a shop on site that sells most of usual items for reasonable prices. You can even buy some quality clothing and sports gear.
Flights & Transfers
- Pick-up from airport only on 12th & 13th June
- Return to airport only on 19th June
Changes to the booking process and payment requirements make it very difficult and costly to group book a large number of flights in advance.
Some of the issues we face are as follows;
- The effort to co-ordinate the booking of hundreds of people across the country.
- Requirement to pay 80% of the flight cost upfront
- The cost for a group booking flight is generally more expensive than you can get doing it yourself
- Airlines don’t necessarily offer special pricing. What they do offer is assurance that everyone in your group will get on the same flight
Based on previous experiences; as we are generally seasoned travellers, we ultimately believe it is more efficient for you to book your flight; with the carrier of your choice, at a time that meets your demands and with the flight options that suit you; without us getting in the way!
