oct 1 st - 8 th calis visit
« on: October 16, 2018, 18:52:15 PM »
Further to our very late very very cheap  TUI package deal  our first package trip  in 12 yrs  we were amazed just how busy calis was having always going in june not October,
All 86 rooms in our hotel were fully booked all the week the owners said they were surprized at a full house at this time of the year plenty of spare sunbeds to be had  hotel grounds  rooms ect as spotless as usual.the owner also showed me  70 % full bookings from mid may to end sept  when we booked our dates for next year , just shows how good the hotel is.
 
We met several CBF members out and about some we have not seen for a number of years AND our 1 st meet up with the very nice MARINA of CBF fame and her husband, also a very nice short chat with LINDA who we spotted sitting outside Lee,s bar .
.
The prom was very busy for the sunday  craft fayre some very good things for sale,  we bought a  nice painting from Carole [ ex bostons ]  also the dog show / entertainment do at the volleyball area  was interesting , the young persons group on stage on the Saturday night were in our opinion very good .

most bars in the evenings were doing very well, indeed waiting for a table at Obens one night and had  reserve tables at gunisik one day prior as they were so busy,, likewise a few others along the prom were quite busy , the Mango  and  the brothers had only a handful of eaters all week we only saw a couple of people in Adrians  just drinking, look back a few years ago this place was packed when others had it.

Re dalaman airport what a let down almost the same as the old terminal  looks the same except the 4 smokers areas in glass screens but out in the open  adjoining  food outlets,.

All in all a very good value cheap for money week ,warm and sunny all thanks to Thomas Cook our june  flight delay compo of which we still had around £95 left so we bought Lira @ 7.875 to £ ready for next year   ;D 8)

Great review again Ron.  It was lovely meeting you and Olga, hopefully we can do it again next time we are both in Calis. Drinks on us next time   ;)
We're still here and apart from a big storm last Saturday afternoon the weather has been glorious for October.
Much quieter now than when we both arrived although I've noticed a few more families around for the last couple of days so maybe half term is bringing more in.
Take care x
