This family's experience:

Activities: We spent a few days in a nice resort. Because we weren't traveling in high season, we booked the accommodations mostly spontaneously shortly before arrival or even on site, after a visit. We were flexible and were able to get a real bargain

Highlights: We enjoyed the relaxing time at the beach in a beautiful resort ✨
