The Campsite was lovely, all set up in the trees with a beautiful Lake that had its own beach. My family really enjoyed it. The pool was nice however you were not allowed to have drinks or food in the pool area which was a nightmare as it was very hot and we needed water to keep hydrated, to do this you had to exit the area. Although it was advertised as an English site, there was very little literature explaining how the site worked. There was a timetable of events but they didn\'t explain where to go too. We did venture to the Kool DIsco and it looked like it had been cancelled. Apart from these negative points, I would like to add that we really did have a fantastic holiday, we went with out 3 Granddaughters aged 8, 7 and 4yrs.
