MilwaukeeFan - No lows to report - as long as you know what to expect ie small beach area everything is wonderful - plenty to do if you so wish or plenty of room ro relax - food & drinks in plentiful supply as well as plenty of sunbeds.

Skelly1 - sorry unable to comment on access to sister hotels - did not ask about this.

We are considering taking our kids here this summer. They are 14 and 15. Did you see many kids there?

Thank you! We are going on 6-24. I am a little hesitant after reading some of the reviews. Our girls are 14 and 18. So, do you think it ia a good choice? Anything specific we should know before we go? Some have said to request building 15, so we did.

There are a lot of children at this hotel but they were mainly under 10's when we were there.Our daughter is 8. There is a seperate area in the evening exclusivley for teenagers but obvioulsy did not go there as our daughter was too young. If they like being by a pool they will be ok.

We were in building 14 which was near to building 15 and was a great location - near the quiet pool and too far from any of the other areas. The only other thing I would suggest is that you request a room on the second floor - people on the first floor were complaining of the rooms being damp & musty. We were on the second floor and did not have a proble.

I too tried to email OGFX via their website and it came back undeliverable. I think perhaps the person whose name is part of the address probably no longer works there and they never updated it w/ the new mgr or admin person or whomever. But then I emailed the main Occidental email address and although it seemed to go through, I did not receive a reply. Not too pleased about that needless to say. I too would like to have an email address that WORKS.
