I arrived at the hotel esplai on the 9th June with a 5 yr old and a 12 year old to the same volume of german students, however they were young having just finished their exams and just having fun and letting their hair down.

we arrived at Esplai on 8th june to be met by hoards of drunken german teenagers, we couldnt even see the reception desk. This became the norm for the rest of the stay.
