Hi. I'm thinking of coming over, with the wife and our 2 boys (age 15 and 5) to Calis during the 2nd half of August. I have visited Calis before but it was exactly 20 years ago! It was one of the best holidays I've had; wonderful weather, cheap, amazingly friendly locals and plenty of day trips and things to do. Of course back then Calis Beach was little more than a dirt track with a small handful of sea front hotels and restaurants dotted around in front of the beach, and it had a 'vibe' all of its own.
I appreciate that a lot has changed since then of course and I'm just a liitle nervous that although we realise that it is a much bigger place now, our expectations may be different from the reality.
Therefore my first general question is; can anyone on here give me a few brief on how the resort has changed over the years and what it's now like in terms of atmosphere, vistors etc? Is there plenty of 'space' or is is a busy, bustling resort now?
Secondly, it appears that because of the make up of our family, there are not (m)any hotels that can provide a family room for us. The best option seems to be to hire an apartment/ villa. 'Popular' complexes appear to be Sunset Beach, Palm Beach and Sea Breeze, but I can't get a fix on them in terms of whether they're right in the heart of Calis or actually some distance away. Are they in 'quiet' locations or next to anightclub for instance. Any advice/ inside knowledge would be appreciated.
Finally, what are food and drink prices like at the moment?
Many thanks in advance.
