I hate to say it, but I think more problems like those at Arillas Bay Apartments will occur. The travel companies hardly pay anything to the owners of the hotels etc, and the owners are finding that their other expenses are increasing. On top of that we, the holiday makers, are spending less on food, drink and activities.
I don't think that the travel companies will ever take responsibility for the incidents and will just pull out of Arillas, just as Libra did last year. Whether we like it or not we are all going to have to pay more for our holidays in the future, and with our increased inflation at home it will be very difficult.
I was told that Libra booked 200 beds in Arillas out of a total of about 800 so that, in itself, means a big reduction in money being spent in Arillas. Over the last two weeks, it was very noticeable that there were less people in Arillas, and it was very strange to see the bars sparsely populated.
I just hope that people don't have to give up going to Arillas because of cost and I hope that the Hotel owners keep working hard to give as good value holidays. This forum is the perfect place for the members and the business people of Arillas to debate things and to use it as a tool for continued improvement.
