hi yes they had a daughter she must be about five now but when we were there it was lovley to see her father holding her and he sang to her every day we have not been back as the year after we went hubby had triple by pass and then he got made redunded but things have just started tolook up for us both as he started a new job last week after being out of work for a year so fingers crossed maybe we can make it next year even if its just a week shall keep watch out for thread when you are back so you can tell me if they hve any more family her hubby is a great cook and every thing was fresh veg ect they even left water in room so when we arrived we could have a cup a tea think it was about two euros and we just went and paid them the next day but i thought it was a lovley touch as it was a late flight when we arrived tina |

Hi Tina, it's so good to talk to someone who has been there, we have a two bed apt so should be lots of room, and I think the kitchens sound well equipped, I have before now had to make toast in a dry frying pan lol and boil water for tea in a pan, but this one has kettles and toasters etc I think. Is it right about the bath towels not being supplied? |

Liz, God forbid that anything should happen but if you don't declare everything, including all medication, and something happens to either of you the insurance will be invalid and you could face huge bills. And if in the extreme case one of you should pass on ---- I sincerely hope not of course - you or your OH would have huge problems. It really is not worth it. |

Tina, someone said on one of the reviews this year you can get a towel in the town for about 6 euros so I will take one bath and one beach towel for o.h. but knowing him he will get them mixed up lol, he's hopeless like that! |

Airline will most probably be Thomas Cook then. Didn't realise you paid extra for the meals, I thought it was all in, we usually decline that and take something with us to eat, having got a meal at the airport. |

It was his choice to pay the extra, Ann, I would have probably taken something with us but we are only up the road from airport so wouldn't eat there. Really by the time you have paid for food to take or eat at airport I don't think £7.50 each meal is too bad, I usually find the food ok and just enough to get me through to the apartment. We don't get in till just before midnight so will pack something I can have before I go to bed and o.h. can go out next morning to get some stuff for breakfast, like milk as I will take a bag of my favourite muesli with me and he will take his choice. I think the woman at the apartments cooks good meals so if I can drag myself out of bed we could go out and get a cooked breakfast perhaps. |

Not me paying Mac lol O.h. was the one handing over his debit card, was going to put it on his credit card to be protected but an extra £28+ so when she said that, he used his debit card instead, as the girl said Thos Cook are covered with all the atols and wotsits lol Well she didn't use those words but I can't remember all the initials now. |

Well if you don't mind the food Liz, that is the best way to do it. When we go it is usually morning or lunch time-ish and we have to be at the airport 2 hours before, coming from so far away we are usually there earlier so have lots of time to get a meal. and I hate on board food!!! |
