.... and guess what - no drug dealers, no aggro, no violence. Sorry to disappoint the miserable bar stewards who try to put CVO down, but wall to wall sunshine, great food and great company with friends, including other nationals.

Still a safe place to go, still a family-friendly place and still the best!

Great to hear positive people We will be there at the end of August and can't wait

Always good to find someone that enjoys a holiday for what it is, and not expecting everything to be like a seven star hotel experience. Take life as you find it and make your own enjoyment. There are a lot of "down to earth" people that can be found enjoying themselves, without having the hassle of winging about things that don't come up to impractical standards/expectations.

Although the olympic openening show caused several forum members, Rich, Marje, Brian and Tricky to get a bit overexcited in the cocktail garden, but hey! we are on holiday!

Just got back myself, and couldn't agree with you more Hampshire Rich. I've left my wife and son there, and feel totally comfortable with that. The only trouble I had was a bear hug from Big Will yesterday afternoon Fortunately, I'm heading back on Friday
