Comments: where do i start? at the beginning maybe.... my husband and i arrived with our 2 kids, and from the start we were stunned at the squalor. the entrance to "The Fun Factory" smelt of dirty toilets, the stench got stronger as we went up the stairs to book in. ahhh booking in, thats a whole review on its own. first you have to make it up approx 30 stairs, then around a corner without taking a breath, then you have to work out which queue you should be in (it's an alphabetical system, by surname) believe me there were some people there that didn't look like they could spell their own names!
at precisely 4pm ( the accomodation officer actually checked his watch) they started giving out the keys. 40 minutes later you have to queue again to get electricity.it felt like giro day at the dss, except the dss is probably cleaned regularly, unlike this hole.
then we made our way to our chalet. and found it to be downright disgusting. the curtains had nicotine stains and mould and god knows what else, they were actually crispy and i doubt they had ever been washed. i banned the kids from touching them. i had to bleach the kitchen. there was a filter on the draining board that was literally overflowing with mould black gunky stuff.eeeeugh. the glasses still had milk traces at the bottom and needless to say they were put to good use trapping all the insects we had to share our accomodation with. the work surfaces had a glaze of dirt on them, and the cloth i used to clean them was immediately disposed of. it has probably disintegrated by now.
there was insulation coming out of a hole in the kitchen wall, and all the windows were literally rotting away. the carpet hadn't been hoovered and was covered in old chewing gum. there was a toenail clipping just in front of the sofa bed. the walls were dirty and grimy, the dining table was sticky and the chairs were the sort of chairs you get in school assembly halls, one with a dodgy leg, of course. there was an odd smell in the chalet and an ever odder atmosphere in the entertainment venues. we bought some over priced drinks and settled down to watch the entertainment, which was reasonably good. the pa system was a bit mad, one girl in particular made my ear drums scream! but the kids enjoyed that at least. the sofa bed had a plastic covered mattress, but i still woke up with bites in the morning, and the mattress itself was about 2cm thick so we had a pretty bad nights sleep.
anyway we got up and checked out on the second morning of a 5 night stay. it was awful DON'T DO IT... JUST SAY NO!
we didn't even go near the pool as you could smell the chlorine a mile away. literally! i knew someone who worked in a swimming pool and she said that is always a sign that the pool isn't cleaned properly, they just top it up with more and more chlorine!
the whole experience was a cross between Tenko, midnight express and deliverance.

awww i always seem to fail at holidays! my camping trip was a disaster and so was this, but even my 7 year old was disgusted by the squalor and cried to go home after 15 mins in the chalet, so i'm not taking all the blame this time, it was a unanimous family vote to leave immediately.
so i'm back and still stuck on sammys riddle. tut. nothing ever changes
