    I know, it just smells of trouble doesn't it?! :( Oh, woe is me! :o Going to see how things pan out but if there's any sign of trying to put us in the middle I'll be laying down the law... then hiding from them since there are about 6 pools to choose from as well as a huge stretch of beach! ;) Was checking our details last night and didn't realise before that when they said they upgraded us to a suite they've actually moved us to a better hotel on site (think it's a 3 hotels in one jobby?) which has exclusive pools, private beach area and restaurants, as well as access to all of our 'old' hotel's amenities and it's adults only! Woo! Would've cost us about £1k more to stay there so a definite bonus, hopefully it'll make the questionable company more bearable! :T

    You can't say all that without a link, Birdie! That sounds like where we went on holiday. They had activity, relax and deluxe. Was so nice and quiet in comparison to the other parts of the "village" and we had this little underground spa/heated pool that we could use if the few kids in our area were getting overly obnoxious. I think the upgrade is worth a twirly Martin with that saving though! :money:

    At least you have plenty of space to escape, can't be bad!

    Sounds amazing Birdie, definately need a link. Sounds like a nightmare with the friends and you are well stuck in the middle. Hope they sort it out!

    They look amazing don't they?! OH is a super early riser on holiday (especially with the time difference being ~4 hours behind, poor sod always struggles to get his body clock right) so I'll be sending him down to the pool/beach as soon as he wakes up every morning to make sure we get one saved for us! :D It also looks like it has the added bonus of being able to close the curtains so we can hide from our friends if we need to! :p

    Just have to pick my holiday reading now... any recommendations? :)

    A girl in my office posts on the forums too, but I don't want her to catch on to me! Maybe she's lurking right now! Eeek!

    Thanks for the link Wendz, off to have a look now although it will probably over excite me even further for tomorrow! If I don't get chance to post again, I'll see you all in a few weeks :D
