Anne-Marie James and her team at Seasons Reservations were very happy to receive the following enthusiastic email from June and Bob Bateman, from Wokingham in Berkshire, who obviously enjoyed a great holiday in Portugal!
 
’My wife and I have just returned from a weeks holiday at Mar Da Luz in Portugal and would like to express our thanks and congratulations to both Seasons and the staff at the resort.
 
We have been members for 12 years and over that time have visited all Seasons resorts, plus a number of Affiliated, RCI and Interval International resorts, and we can say Mar Da Luz is without doubt one of the best we have stayed at anywhere in the world. The quality and layout of the units is excellent, as are the on-site facilities. All the staff were great and couldn't have been more helpful - especially Denise and Elaine.
 
Although the site is a little bit out on its own, it is possible to walk into Praia Da Luz, with its restaurants and fabulous beach. Even if you don’t want to walk, there is a site mini-bus service to take you anywhere you would like to go at a very reasonable price. The staff also lay on a number of evening trips during the week, There is also a very good restaurant within walking distance from the resort. All in all, we had a great time and look forward to our next visit. Best regards.’

Seasons members George and Nikki O'Neil of Gloucester hadn’t been on holiday with both their sons, Dan and Alex, for a few years.  However, their recent holiday together at Mar da Luz in Portugal proved to be a great success.

Our picture shows George and Nikki at the Fort Restaurant in Luz on their last night, which was also Alex's birthday. Nikki said: “We had been to the Fort during our first week and had an excellent meal there, so we went back again to celebrate his birthday.  Another day, we all went on the coastal walk from Mar da Luz to Luz, where the scenery is fabulous.”

BIG SMILES FROM CLUB TAHITI

Arwyn & Wendie George from Swansea

How impressive is this?  Looks like an audition for ‘The X Factor’ but it’s the Club Tahiti Kids Club 'Smooth Criminal' dance routine!

How do you fancy chancing your arm by flying these magnificent creatures in some of the loveliest countryside in Wales?  The experience is truly unbelievable, as you watch them skilfully riding the thermals searching for their supper.  No wonder this was always one of the favourite sports enjoyed by the kings and queens, lords and ladies of olden times!  And now you can share this unique experience easily, by booking a date to suit yourself. 

The number to call is obtainable from Guest Relations at Laugharne Park. You will also be able view the wild birds of prey in their natural surroundings. These include buzzards and kites, which are successfully making a welcome comeback to Wales, with numbers going from strength to strength each year.

STEAM RAILWAYS

If you don’t already know, then those of our readers of a certain age (usually under 10 and over 50) may be interested to know of the existence and location of a number of steam railways within reach of Laugharne Park. Though we can reassure anyone between the ages of 10 and 50 that they are also welcome to join the aforementioned enthusiasts!

For information on all the following, contact Guest Relations at Laugharne Park. Please note that these railways do not always use steam, so it’s best to check first.

UPDATE ON BURN PARK FOALS

Probably our readers’ favourite on-going story in the past few months has been the joys and tragedy associated with the equine population at Burn Park.  As followers of the tale will know, Resort Manager Gill Kaye and her daughter Samantha have rescued many horses and ponies over the years.
