Tips on Sunsail Mevede in Turkey please!

[Redwood]

I am going there in May for the first time,I have been to Mark Warner before but not Sunsail. Any tips welcome, we have a ds who will be 2 and dd who is 4.

I'm going there in September! I haven't been to Marverder but I've been to Perili. It is fab.

The kids clubs are great - given the ages of yours, they should be in the same club together. They get these sweet little matching hats, t-shirts and bags. They spend all day marching around, singing songs and having a blast.

Do you sail? If you can't don't panic. You can go out on the yachts with people who can sail by signing up the night before. Definitely go out on the yachts because you get to see more of the coastline.

Don't feel shy about sitting next to people you don't know at mealtimes. At Perili anyway (and I assume it's the same at Marverde) there are communal tables. It means you get to meet different people most days and it adds a lot to the holiday - we met some people who we ended up going out sailing with and we had a really great time.

Don't be concerned about the night creche. Most nights they have baby listening but on the nights when you go can go off site, they have a night creche where all the kids go to the nursery and sleep on little beds. I thought mine would never go to sleep but he did

Enjoy - and please report back as I'll be trying Marverde soon.

We've been with Sunsail 3 times now and it's fabulous. The kids clubs are great, food is good, particularly in the Turkish resorts (Greece wasn't sooo good but ok). Don't panic too much, the first time I went I was so worried about taking enough nappies and things - the reception had a little shop and all the baby essentials were there.
On the last sunsail hol we had, ds had an ear infection for the last couple of days and was up at night a lot. But one of the kids club staff offered to have him for a couple of hours so I could catch up with sleep during the day.
Can't wait until we can afford to go again!

(oh, and I am not very competant at sailing but took the 3 day course on our first hol, and mainly helped 'crew' yachts for other people)

Thanks for the information, love to hear from anyone who's been there as my dd is not a good walker and want to know how big the site is to decide if we need to take the buggy, also if you get or can hire pool towels. And if you can get laundry done.

call the sunsail office and ask - they've been very helpful in the past

Don't pay win our competition instead!
