Karen, at least you didn't find out after being there for 24 hours. Arillas can offer any holiday maker anything. If you want to laze on a lovely safe beach or by a pool, if you want quiet romantic, if you want loud and raucous, if you want to put on 7kg in weight, if you just want to spend your time nattering to old friends whom you rarely see... it is all available. The forum can be a godsend into finding out how to do them. In our own ways we are a body of expert knowledge about just about every aspect of what has become our favourite place on earth. Maybe we should persuade the tour operators to use us to answer questions.
Ag Gorgeous (as i call it) is also lovely, as in San Stef. When Jen and I get there permanently, we will visit them more often. Last year in 6 weeks, we spent 6 hours away from Arillas in Ag Georgios. And we weren't really sure we wanted to - just felt we had to.
With all your barriers to get round, I am glad you have got a solution. Would be much better for you if they put you in Mirage, right on the front. But that is with Thomas Cook so no chance. Or Kaloudis - that is with Thomsons I think.
Sorry to go on and on, but I just HATE it when people can't share my experience of hillidays (sorry - cheap joke - holidays) in Arillas.
