Firstly, the hospitality was pretty awful on first impressions. But this seemed to be a general trend with both staff and locals. The taxi to the hotel costs a max £10 (100Le) After a tiring 6 hour delay and night time flight, we faced a taxi war! Demands began at £65! Finally we got it down to £20. So just... more

Booking and flights I booked a week stay at Sol Y Mar Sharming Inn in early June 2008. I booked the flights the day before travel and paid £120 return from Manchester with cheapflights.co.uk on a Thomas Cook charter flight. I booked the accommodation seperately through ebookers and paid £150 for the week bed and breakfast. I wasn't expecting anything... more

I went as a single parent, me and 2 boys aged 9 and 11. The kids club didn't exist - i thought there would be more children with it being half term but the few there entertained one another. It would have been impossible without the games room. Rony the internet guy was a great source of entertainment for kids... more
