Ideal for Solo Travellers
Groups include a significant number of single people who are able to enjoy the holiday with people who have similar interests. Although the average group size is 11, dinner is taken in a group which can vary in size from 10 to 28 when there is another activity group sharing the hotel. This gives you the opportunity to get to know everyone in the group over the length of the holiday over a friendly relaxed dinner in the evenings.
There is a single supplement charge. However, you can indicate you are willing to share a twin but we cannot guarantee this possibility at the time of booking.
