Chula Vista to pay Madigan additional $20,000
City says probe found 'no conflict existed' in her actions
"The city found that Ms. Madigan acted reasonably and that she took appropriate steps to protect the city from conflict and the appearance of conflict," the statement reads.
The payment is "associated with fees and costs incurred in mutual and dedicated effort to finalize Ms. Madigan's separation," according to the statement.
It says Madigan "made valuable contributions toward the advancement of major projects of importance to Chula Vista."
"The city believes that Ms. Madigan was entitled to receive a severance package and that the severance package she received was lawful and appropriate," it says.
Madigan's primary attorney and spokeswoman, Leslie Devaney, said Thursday, "The statement confirms and reflects what Laurie Madigan has always said and what her lawyers have opined – that she has always acted professionally and in the best interest of the city."
Devaney added that Madigan "is hopeful that she and the city can now put this behind them and both move forward to more productive pursuits."
The statement says both the city and Madigan will honor the confidentiality clause in her separation agreement.
Mayor Cheryl Cox, Moore, and Councilmen Jerry Rindone and Steve Castaneda did not respond to a request for comment Thursday.
Thomson, McCann and Councilman Rudy Ramirez returned calls but declined to comment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): I recently found out there's a famous guy out there with a name similar to mine. Rob Brzezinski is an administrator for pro football's Minnesota Vikings. He's regarded as a "cap guru," meaning he's highly skilled at manipulating the National Football League's byzantine "cap" system of rules about how much money a team can spend on its players. That's pretty funny given the fact that I've been working really hard in the last few months to become a "Cappy guru," by which I mean someone who understands Capricorns really well. I mention this because it's prime time for you to seek out and learn from people who are to you what Rob Brzezinski is to me: your counterpart, soul twin, shadow, doppelgänger, or other half.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Imagine asking fundamentalist nutcase Jerry Falwell to evaluate a book about evolution by a renowned science writer like Richard Dawkins. Imagine handing poet Allen Ginsberg's masterwork "Howl" to a janitor in Bangladesh and paying him to write his opinions about it. The effect would be similar to an event that actually occurred recently. The New York Times invited ex marine sniper Anthony Swofford, author of the Gulf War memoir Jarhead, to review a subversive metaphysical experiment penned by visionary philosopher Daniel Pinchbeck. As you might expect, Swofford's screed was 85 percent hallucination. Let the Times' gaffe serve as a warning beacon, Aquarius. It's now crucial for you to gather a range of discriminating opinions about yourself and the possibilities you're considering. Don't rely on people who have no familiarity with, understanding of, or respect for the issues you want feedback about.
PISCES (Feb. 19March 20): Neurologist Oliver Sacks writes books in which he describes the ingenious adaptations some of his patients have made when faced with limitations that other people might have found debilitating. One example is an artist whose car accident caused him to lose his ability to see any other colors besides black and white. In response, he became a specialist in creating black-and-white paintings, and ultimately developed a mastery that won him acclaim. Later, when offered a chance to undergo treatment to restore the full spectrum of vision, he declined. Take heart from his story, Pisces. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you, too, to capitalize on one of your seeming liabilities or inadequacies.

> how much should i charge for stringjobs
View Full Version :
how much should i charge for stringjobs
what should i charge for string jobs... Im probably gonna use Gosen OG Micro which doesnt cost too much.
$15 at the most because if your not certified or anything its not too great of a deal
10 if the person provides their own string and 15 if they dont
what should i charge for string jobs... Im probably gonna use Gosen OG Micro which doesnt cost too much.
well, according to other threads, you just recently got your machine, so don't you think it's a little early to start stringing for others?
currently, i only string for one friend at this time and i only have him pay $5 for an OG micro 16g string job. the reason being that i don't like making a huge profit off my friends and i'm just stringing for experience right now. i've had my machine for a year and have strung about one frame a week.
10 if the person provides their own string and 15 if they dont
That's a little alot isn't it?
Usually I have stiff competition that I can't undercut so I only charge $7 with my own string.
well im gonna be stringing for my highschool tennis team which isnt too many racquets and its good experience and i can only get better at it ive done 2 frames so far.
well 7 dollars seem kind of low to me..theres another kid at my school who strings for 15 dollars but is extremely lazy and doesnt return ur racquet untill probably like a week to a month later. I need to make some sort of profit to pay my brother for buying me a stringing machine. Im only a sophmore in highschool and thinking that i got a good 3 years left in high school and i plan on playing tennis all 3 years a stringing machine would save me alot of money while making some as well.
Can som1 tell me what are the diffrences between string guages i heard that 16 is durable but im thinking abot getting 17 since i have my own stringing machine now. Ive read through the forums and ppl said that 17 has better feel
You're still not clear on how to string racquets yet and you're already thinking of charging people money for the service? Good luck with that! :D
10 if the person provides their own string and 15 if they dont
I charge $10 for the labor if they have their own strings or not. If they have their own strings its $10, if they don't have their own strings then I charge whatever I paid for the strings plus $10.
I'm going to say this as nicely as possible. You do not have the experience to charge other people for a service where they expect a certain level of expertise in the field. You do not have any reputation at all, and as you have admitted, pretty much nothing as far as experience goes. You couldn't even pay me to allow you to string my frames. It's all about consistency, and you don't have the experience to even know what consistency means, much less how to actually apply it.
Edit: I charge $10 if they have their own strings, if I'm providing the strings it depends on who they are and what strings.
You're still not clear on how to string racquets yet and you're already thinking of charging people money for the service? Good luck with that! :D
exactly what i said. would you want someone who's only strung 2 frames in their life string your racket? because i certainly wouldnt.
in the case that you crack a frame, are you financially stable enough to replace their frames? because if you send the frame in for warranty, chances are, it's not gonna get replaced because it was the stringers fault. my friend's seen one guy string rackets for his teammates and he came back w/ a cracked PC600, cracked ti.radical MP, and an out of shape babolat pure drive, and he's a chronic string breaker...so he strings frequently (but it's apparent he doesnt do a good job)
you stringing for others right now would be like having a doctor that's only treated two patients...each racket is different and so are the patients.
exactly what i said. would you want someone who's only strung 2 frames in their life string your racket? because i certainly wouldnt.
That's the advise that I gave him (http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?p=997224#post997224) on another thread but apparently, it fell on deaf ears.
in the case that you crack a frame, are you financially stable enough to replace their frames? because if you send the frame in for warranty, chances are, it's not gonna get replaced because it was the stringers fault.
I couldn't have said it better myself. :cool:
tennispr(), think very hard on this very real possibility before you even consider stringing for other people.
I change how much I charge for stringing based on who I'm stringing for. When I did my high school team's rackets, I charged $12 including PSGDF. When I string for someone else I don't know very well, I charge $16. It also depends on how in demand a stringjob is. At school (Michigan Tech), there isn't really any place to get it strung if you're not on the team. I bring my own portable machine to school, so I can charge a bit more there because options are limited.
I couldn't have said it better myself. :cool:
i only asked this because he said that he needed his brother to pay for his machine, an SP Swing. if he breaks a frame, not only is he gonna lose customers (especially on the team since no one wants a broken frame during season), but it's gonna put him in more debt...
my friend who also got an SP swing is taking no risk at trying to string by himself right now because he doesnt want to break a frame.
im not saying that the SP swing is a bad machine, because i have one, but to tennispr()...you're thinking WAY ahead of yourself.
There have been many such discussions on pricing on this board. Most all the time I see at least two pricing factors unmentioned.
1) Folks seem to look only at the costs of labor and string. There is the cost of the machine, depreciated over time. There are tools, string to test, USRSA membership hopefully, time to keep accounting records -- sales tax and profit, some advertising (at least business cards), shipping for those strings, etc.
2) There is pricing based on costs and pricing based on costs and market conditions. Prices do vary around the U.S. at least!
Yeah, looks like you're going to need a little practice before you start. While it might seem like we're all quick to jump on your back, it's good advice. Take it for what it's worth, and don't worry about what people think of you.
As far as cost... If you have competition, labor charges are probably going to run you around $10 +/- $3... If you have lots of competition, chances are you're going to go lower, if you don't have much, chances are you'll go higher. However, $15 is the labor charge for a typical pro shop (sometimes ranging up to $20). I wouldn't venture into the $13+ range unless you really think you have a good reason to. (i.e. you feel your time is worth more than another stringers, or you have the expertise and experience to provide a great job every time).
Take the advice and get more practice.
what should i charge for string jobs... Im probably gonna use Gosen OG Micro which doesnt cost too much.
First, do it free because you need people trust you and that you can string it well. Do that with first few people and then charge 5-10 bucks.
I charge 10 for labor...10 + string cost if I provide the string...and 15 for gut. I have had gut snap on me due to a defect once and felt that I should pick up the tab as it would earn me return business (as it has). I feel that gut takes more care and a machine cleaning and thereby is worth a few extra dollars.
Alright i guess ill get some more experience before trying to string other peoples racquets:)
Alright i guess ill get some more experience before trying to string other peoples racquets:)
good idea.
very good idea.
i charge 12 for labor on synthetics and 14 for gut. i charge for psg 18 and go to nxt at 28. vs is 55.
i charge a little extra than what some high schooler or random person does it but i can as my customers know me and that they know they will get something quality back. and that i gurantee 24 hr service
Fast turnaround is very important when stringing. For my team I always guaranteed I'd have it the next day for practice, even the same day if necessary no matter how many I had to do. It's hard to put a price on having your racket when you need it. Waiting 2 weeks for MC Sports to get mine done is why I started at all. You will get many more loyal customers if you can guarantee a fast turnaround to get it back to them.
I'm kinda/sorta in the same position...
I learned to string a couple months ago, because a friend needed me to help out as a stringer for a bing tournament that was coming up. I strung several rackets then and fell into a "groove" .... but then a couple months passed until I finally bought my own stringer... after attempting to string my racket the first time, I realized that I wasn't anywhere near ready to string rackets for other people (in addition to not stringing for a few months and being new at it... I went from stringing on an ektelon model h, to a cheap gamma dropweight).
About price-points... The tennis club at my school charges $8 for labor... $12 for a nylon string job... and $15 for syn gut, poly, or hybrid.
The other day my friend asked me to string his racket for him (thankfully it turned out fine)... he offered to pay, but i told him it was free.... The way I see it, is like someone else pointed out. Starting out, you may want to give em a freebie before you charge em... that way theyll also be happier to bring it back i think. As for myself.... I'm planning on charging anywhere from $0-$5 for friends for labor, and $7-$10 for others... depending how things go.
As for string cost... it's easy to see how much you need to charge to break even... or how much to charge if you'd like more profit.
The second singles on our team charges ten to twenty dollars for strining based on how much he likes you although he does not say this outright.

Isla Vista Resort: Not what we expected
When I stumbled upon this resort hotel over the internet, I got excited because the pictures in their website were great, it was cute and cozy but when we got there...well let's just say that we were a bit disappointed.
The feel of the whole resort were a bit old and rundown, though I cannot complain much about our accomodation because I am not that choosey let me just say that it was average, it was a fan room nipa hut cluster.
What I did not really enjoy about this resort is their restaurant. Augh! First of all, the service was really slow, the food portions were really small plus, it doesn't taste very good at all. But since we cannot choose any other restaurant for there were really limited choices in Candelaria we do not have any choice but to eat there which is a bit sad.
What is good about this resort is their proximity to Potipot Island. It's a mere 5 mins. boat ride away from the resort so kudos for having a great location.

I just got back from my 3-day vacation. I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND ISLA VISTA BEACH RESORT! I'll just narrate my frustrating experience in Tagalog during our 4-hour stay at Isla Vista.
So nakarating kami sa Isla Vista ng mga 9:00PM. My friends and I rented 3 nipa huts since they were all "FULLY BOOKED". Ang hirap hanapin ng resort, and walang guard man lang na nag-check sa amin nung nakapasok kami! First impression: "Ugh, dito tayo?" Sun bloom(?) sana kami kaso no available rooms for 2 days.
Nung pagpunta namin sa mga kubo, grabe, nakakatakot! Patay lahat ng ilaw, very unwelcoming. Nag-grill kami, etc. 6 kaming friends + isang driver. So tig-pair kami sa kubo. Kami yung sa pinaka-right na kubo (kubo #3). We were chatting, tapos napapansin namin ng friend ko na may anino. We were telling horror stories along the way so hindi namin inakala na MANGYAYARI YUN. So ayun, biglang umulan. Ayaw namin mabasa so we stayed longer sa kubo sa pinaka-left (kubo #1). Pumunta akong CR after pinalipas yung ulan. Then to my SURPRISE / HORROR, BINAGSAK YUNG PINTUAN NG KUBO NAMIN (HINILA HANGGA'T NAHULOG)! Nawala yung bag ko, containing all my money, cards, IDs, everything! Buti na lang the robber didn't notice my slr inside my lunchbox, cellphone kong naka-charge pati na rin yung bag ko containing all my clothes which also had my iPod! I thought it was all because of the rain, pero ang O.A. naman kasi di naman mahangin. While we were chatting, may bumagsak ng pintuan ng kubo namin. NAKALOCK SIYA. Ibig sabihin, madali lang nakawan ito. Good thing nalaman na ganun pala ang nangyayari dun, worse siguro mangyayari if we went to Potipot the next day with all our belongings left inside the kubo.
So I ran to the reception area, asking for a landline because I had to inform my mom about the credit card. Wala silang landline, cellphone lang. Wala man lang ka-guard-guard na tao doon, puro "boy" lang. Tinanong ko, nangyari na ba ito dati? Sabi ng receptionist, oo raw. Sabi ng iba, wala raw. Halatang nagsisinungaling.
Feeling ko inside job ito kasi nung pagpunta namin, bago kami na nakawan, parang may umaaligid na pero hindi namin pinansin kasi nga we never thought it'd happen. Though may halong stupidity rin ito (for choosing Isla Vista -- but we had no choice). Yung mga staff, parang kalmado lang na hindi maintindihan. Wala man lang "Ma'am, teka papa-ronda na po kami dito baka nandito pa yun..".. Nandoon din yung Boss nila, HINDI NAMAN NAGPAKITA. Sobrang bagsak ang customer service nila, ewan ko ba kung bakit sila may business license kung puro negative ang reviews sa kanila.
Pinapunta nila yung police, pero sobrang late na nun at umaambon, at wala na kaming pagsstayan. Anong magagawa ng police? Irereport ko lang? So I decided na sila na lang magreport tapos dumiretso na kami sa Sun Bloom. Buti naman ni-reimburse nila in full lahat ng binayad namin. Wala man lang sila ginawang pangcompensate sa mga nanakaw sakin..
Sa sunbloom, may gate sila, which IS GOOD (MANDATORY!!). Pinakausapan ng driver namin so ayun, kahit 11AM kinabukasan, may ma-sstayan kami. Inayos samin ng Sunbloom yung room, saka super cheap lang compared dun sa walang ka-secusecurity na ISLA VISTA (sabi nila may UMIIKOT DAW?!).. P150 lang per added person. Sobrang bait ng mga taga-SUNBLOOM at pinaligo pa kami kahit lampas na kami sa 11AM na time doon sa mas disenteng common C.R. nila.
The next day, akala ko bangungot lang, pero hindi. I went to Isla Vista again para to get updates. Yung staff parang "WALA LANG" talaga. NAKAKAIRITA. Nakita kong kinausap muna yung mga boss nila (mag-asawa) bago ako kausapin. Sabi nung receptionist, "Bale ma'am, cocontact-in na lang daw po kayo ng pulis.. binigay po namin yung number". Tapos hiningi ko yung number, WALA NAMAN binigay (Di raw nila alam?! Basta pinagpipilitan na maghintay na lang daw ako?!). Sinabi pa na ako yung pumunta mismo sa police station para mag-report. Alam kong wala na sila magagawa kaya hinayaan ko na lang. At baka ganoon na lang umuwi ang vacation namin.. :| :| :|
If you've had the same experience that I had (robbery in ISLA VISTA), please share!

Isla Vista Resort in Candelaria, Zambales
The worst staff!! I called last friday for our booking this april 17 and 18. It was confirmed. They said there were still 3 rooms left. When I called this morning..(today is Monday)..they said that it was fully booked already. We already planned this ahead of time. They caused us too much trouble and inconvenience. Now we are still looking for a place to stay this sat and still no luck. This resort is so not good. No one will recommend this resort. Too much hassle. Bad service. VERRRY UNRELIABLE!!

We have our stay in dawal resort. The staff there were friendly. I enjoy our stay there. Accomodation for 1 room for 2 person is only 1,000.00 with no other charges for the use of swimming pools. One thing I notice is there is no TV in the room.
Te rooms are clean, the pool is great.

Dawal Beach Resort and Restaurant: Nice and Clean
We went there only to get access to the boats for Potipot but did get the chance to take a look around and use their shower facilities. The whole compound was clean and well-kept. All cottages were cleaned on schedule. The staff were friendly and accommodating take Ms. Lynn who gave me her number so she can alert the boatmen if we do decide to change our schedule for pick-up.
Accommodation ranges from dormitory type (P4950 - 15 pax capacity or P330/pax) to penthouse (P3000 - 6 pax capacity or P600/pax) rooms. Their prices are quite affordable.

Sun Bloom Resort: Accommodation Satisfaction!
I would recommend this beach resort because of the assistance given to us during our stay at Sun Bloom. The contact person, Ms. Mercy and her assistancts tried to give us the utmost assistance for our needs. It is also affordable for those on a budget.
Access to Potipot Island is one of the features of this beach resort.

ISLA VISTA nearby POTIPOT: WORST ACCOMODATION EVER
the management of ISLA VISTA sent me a sarcastic message regarding the black
propaganda daw against their resort. we, too, had a very bad experience in
their resort. we do share the same sentiments that the other travellers posted here. badtrip ang mga staff nila dun..they would speak using their dialect even kaharap ka nila.i would agree sa term na ginamit ng isang nagbigay ng review here...MAL-EDUKADO.
anyways, i just called them now to confront them regarding the issue. i was
informed that their boss directed them to forward the same message to several
numbers of their previous (unsatisfied) guests!!! sumobra naman yata sila?! instead na nagsasayang ng effort magturo/magbintang kung sino nagbibigay ng negative reviews sa resort nila, i suggest they find time to reflect kung ano ba talaga dapat nilang gawin para ayusin ang SERVICE, FACILITIES, and AMENITIES nila w/c as of this writing is below standard!
i won't even bother sana giving a review sa mediocre nilang accomodation.. pero ngayon, i just had a sudden change of mind. other people must be warned too NOT to book in that
resort. I ABSOLUTELY NOT RECOMMEND ISLA VISTA, try other resorts instead.

Alta Niña Beach Resort: Discovering Candelaria
We could not have chosen a better place to stay while visiting Potipot Island.
The place is just a few minutes away from the island by boat. It's got 3 aircon rooms - each with one double bed and one singe bed - and 2 fan room cottages. The aircon rooms have their own bathroom/toilet, cabinet, dressing table w/ mirror, and altar w/ a bible and cross. It's actually good for 4 - 5 people. And it only cost us Php 1,500 per room. There's no hot/cold shower but I don't think that matters very much.
The caretaker, Manong Noel, is very kind and friendly. He always helped us with our meals and even prepared most of it for us, He got us a boat for hire so we wouldn't have to talk to the locals. He even let us use the Videoke machine at night. That's what I call hospitality.
Right now there's an area in the resort that's being converted into a public kitchen so that visitors could use it for their convenience.
The resort is just in front of the island and though it's got black/gray sand for its beach, the sand is as fine as a white sand beach. There's not much traffic in the beach so you could stay all day there without getting disturbed. Not to mention that it's only five minutes away from Potipot.

isla vista beach resort, candelaria, zambales: worst accomodation ever!
I had so much fun!!! Except for one thing though, bad trip kami dun sa management ng resort na pinuntahan namin… yung Isla Vista Beach resort! At first they were very accommodating and thet were all smiles… but later on they showed their true colors… it started when we bought our food from the nearby market and had them cook from their in-house restaurant… hello naman kasi sobrang konti lang ng choices from their menu, alangan naman we have to eat the same food everyday, not to mention that the food are overpriced, as in overrated talaga! & most of the time unavailable pa yung mga ibang oorderin mo, nde pa ganun kasarap yung food, substandard…
Then everything that we do, na involved sila, it also equates with money, we know that they have corkage fees, & that's ok, cuz we're willing to pay and we have money to spend naman! What pissed us off talaga & pushed us to the limit was when they said that we couldn't eat at the resto eventhough we had our food cooked by them. They wanted ata nabayaran namin ang pag-kain namin dun, I mean pati yung pag-gamit namin ng tables, chairs and utensils! Hello!? Meron nga silang corkage area, does that mean we still have to pay so that we can use the corkage area??? Grabe naman na ata yun!?
What's worse is nagpaparinig pa yung mga tauhan/crew nung resort!? Tinatarayan pa kami!? Is that the way you treat guests? We were expecting na dapat hospitable sila, for one thing, probinsya yun, and resort yun! At higit sa lahat, we are paying customers! Napaka- walang modo ng mga crew dun! Mal-edukado talaga! Di nila naisip na they can only have visitors through recommendations, especially for mid-class resorts like theirs… and definitely after what we have experienced, they will lose a lot, not only from bad reviews like this, but also by word-of-mouth…
I even searched for comments about the resort sa net, and I found several people sharing the same sentiments… I thought samin lang nila ginawa yun, marami narin palang may ganung experience sa Isla Vista Resort… So now, WE STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU STAY AT ISLA VISTA BEACH RESORT. Isla Vista Resort is the nearest kick-off point to Potipot Island and will be your fist choice, but then think again, there are a lot of other resorts… just go search for it through the web…

Sgt. Juan Beach Inn: Sgt. Juan Beach
My wife and I stayed at the inn on Sgt. Juan beach for 2 nights. We rented an air-conditioned room for 1200 pesos a night. At the time, a US dollar was worth about 56 pesos. My wifes' family brought us food, as they live in Candelaria. Although it isn't what the Western world would call a great place, it was clean and it was right on the beach. I found the people in Candelaria very friendly and polite. It was really nice to be able to walk out onto the beach at night and just listen to the waves and look at the stars. All in all, it was a very nice stay at a very reasonable price.
Awesome views of the South China Sea, white sand beaches.

Alta Niña Resort: One of Candelaria's secrets
We were booked there via a cousin. The five of us were given a room good for six persons but it can accomodate maybe more than that! It was a nice room for P1,500.00, with an altar and a Bible in the center separating the two beds suggesting a very calm environment. The CR is also nice, not sparklingly new, but it's clean, it doesn't have a hot and cold but the water is just fine. No cable tv, but the caretaker is willing to share his tv for the guest's enjoyment. There's also a videoke machine for a night of howling, err... singing.
Aside from the two big rooms, nipa huts (i think it's P500 per night) are also available. The resort has a huge open space and one can put a bonfire along the shore.
I would definitely recommend staying at this resort, the caretaker, Manong Noel, is very helpful and is always one step ahead in attending to our needs. He even looked for the freshest catch from the sea (which is abundant btw) for our dinner and lunch. He's a do-it-all guy, he can cook, provide all your needs (including the vest), look for a boat for hire, and you'll be amazed also with his stories.
The resort is just a five minute boat ride from Potipot Island, though the sand in front of the resort is generally gray, there's hardly any rock on it and the water is also clear save for some grayishness as a result of the fineness of the sand.

ISLA VISTA RESORT: DeCk
From the deck or patio of the resort (this is not part of our villa though) you can see the Potipot Island already

ISLA VISTA RESORT: Cottages
The cottages you see in the photo are part of the resort where we stayed. We could have taken this type of accommodation, that is, nipa hut with seaview but unfortunately they were all taken. Last year we were here in Candelaria, this area was not crowded at all and there was no need to reserve for rooms. We just scouted around and had our pick. Last year we were at Harvest Resort, just 4 rooms good for 4 people each room with a good verandah view of the sea, just before Isla Vista resort. Surprisingly, just over a year this summer, the resorts in Candelaria, especially in area near POtipot Island, were almost fully booked. We (some 14 people)were offerred this villa type house (with 5 rooms) in Isla Vista and charged us around Php 5000 for 1 night stay.
Ok fine, Php5000 for 5 rooms for 1 night is cheap. But... this villa needs a major "over-hauling"! Though aircon is good, bathrooms and comfort rooms are bad. No view of the ocean. I just didn't get the feeling I was just some few steps from the seashore. And the owner! Maybe due to the fact that tourists suddenly flocked their area this year, the owner appeared so "business-minded", charging us for every step we made. They don't have a real restaurant but they will lend you their kitchen stuff for an enormous amount. And they can rent out their dining hall for another charge. She (owner) appeared helpful by trying to help us work out our stay, but all her suggestions equated to an amount to be paid.
For this and for the condition of the houses/cottages, I will not recommend this resort.
