Hi Rugbymad. Welcome to the forum, from where you`ll get loads of info. We`re off back to Arillas soon, for the 8th or 9th time! I think you`ll enjoy it. We`ve been in October, and it was lovely weather. Best to take a top/jacket for evenings, but I bought a "fleece" there. We didn`t have children with us, but there is the beach, nature trail, trips etc. I`m sure you`ll be able to find something to keep everyone happy. Meeting the local people is good. They are so friendly and helpful.Also, you`ll find plenty of good places to eat. As for Kaloudis, we`ve not stayed there, so can`t help you there. I`m sure other forummers can though. Have a great holiday when you go. Bfn.
