Label « Family Destination »
Who are we?
We are a holiday resort which lends itself perfectly to family holidays. Families must feel
that they are welcome here.
What dowe want?
Our objective consists of offering to children as well as their parents or those accompanying
them, a holiday which answers to all their desires and needs.
A friendly attitude towards families is our major concern and it is by no means just another
marketing ploy. All the suppliers of tourist services as well as the local population support this
attitude.
How?
On the basis of what a family desires and needs, we have accepted the quality criteria which
is compulsory for each and every holiday resort and which are checked periodically by an independent inspector.
We guarantee our guests that these criteria are strictly respected and that we are permanently striving to improve and develop services we offer.
We have committed ourselves to publishing the truth concerning what is on offer for families.
All those offers which do not live up to the guests’ expectations will be dealt with impartially.
To allow us to improve our services, we would be happy to receive any remarks or suggestions.
