Our holidays include over 25 activities

It’s been over 10 years since we last did a Neilson holiday. This holiday was as good as any we can remember and has made us realise what we have been missing in terms of activities, fun and great food. What a fab week we had in Croatia.

Pickleball was great but so popular that intro sessions were overbooked. The result was that total novices were arriving at social sessions expecting to play despite being clueless as to how the game is played.

Tennis also overcrowded. Like pickleball, needed more staff support during our stay 14-28 September. On more than one occasion just three junior staff were stretched across all raquet activities. Given the size of Messini plus Bouca, this was woefully inadequate. Clearly staff are entitled to days off and holiday, but customers should not feel the consequences of insufficient staff availabikity.
