Hotels with rooms for 2, 3 and sometimes 4 persons depending on the make up of your group, all the rooms have private facilities.

D. Meals
There are two options:  half board - breakfast and dinner, full board -breakfast, lunch and dinner. For practical reasons meals are sometimes not served at the accommodation but served at another location.
