Esther gave us a warm welcome again and spoiled us the first evening (with a meal ;-).
All apartments are now finished, the pool is finished. The facilities are superb.
A little paradise!

Glad you thought it was paradise.
It was a week in which you enjoyed yourself with good friends.
Everything is indeed finished. So that we can only pay more attention to the apartments.
