As a glance at their website would have disclosed.

We always used to go to Holland where a company called "Gran Dorado" ran similar parks. If I remember rightly we went five years running to two different parks. Very comfortable accommodation, nice sites, all you could want and did all it said on the tin. They were taken over by Centre Parcs and virtually doubled their prices in a year, claiming that this was necessary to "raise them to the Centre Parcs Standard". We have not been back

See OH's rant kindly referred by TMR.
When the Dutch sites were run by Gran Dorado all the same facilities were there and ALL were included in the price. The only things you paid for above the quoted price was food, if you ate in their restaurants and cycle hire at 5 guilder a day (About a £1) if you wanted to use their bikes.

Fishing in the lakes, Use of Swimming pools, Gymnasia, play areas, sports facilities (Basketball, archery, football etc) all free of charge.

The wildlife was quite tame. I was begged at one morning by a duck, a squirrel and a rabbit in rapid succession.

I drew the line when a rat turned up  evil:

Quite.

My 17 year old nephew was in full Neanderthal mode all weekend.He slept till 12. Got up. Grunted, Ate something and went back to bed till 7.

He then got up, grunted, ate something and went back to bed.

How can anyone sleep that much?

His 15 year old brother was so vile that his parents came without him! eeek:
