Families Welcome’label
Who are we?
We are a holiday resort which lends itself perfectly to family holidays. Families must feel that they are welcome here. What do we want?
Our objective consists of offering to children as well as their parents or those accompanying them, a holiday which answers to all their desires and needs. A friendly attitude towards families is our major concern and it is by no means just another marketing ploy. All the suppliers of tourist services as well as the local population support this attitude. How?
On the basis of what a family desires and needs, we have accepted the quality criteria which is compulsory for each and every holiday resort and which are checked periodically by an in-dependent inspector. We guarantee our guests that these criteria are strictly respected and that we are perma-nently striving to improve and develop services we offer. We have committed ourselves to publishing the truth concerning what is on offer for families. All those offers which do not live up to the guests’ expectations will be dealt with impartially. To allow us to improve our services, we would be happy to receive any remarks or suggestions. Which companies?
