Hello to all members of the 'LoveArillas Fan Club'!!! We are Robin and Mavis and have never contributed to any online forum, anywhere(although I did register here early last year) so please bear with me (Mavis) and I will try to be brief, but I don't find that easy!!
Since we were referred to a couple of times on the forum recently and Eggy also mentioned that we were 'background' viewers, I thought it was about time we came into the foreground!
We both enjoy the forum, daily photos and information on the website and visit at least once a day.
We have been returning to Arillas almost every year since 1991, at least once. That first time was a complete 'stab in the dark', even though I was a travel agent (of more than 30 years all told) I knew nothing of this little resort. We stayed at Kaloudis (pre-pool bar!!) and loved it.
Since then, although we have been to other Greek islands and elsewhere, nothing has quite captured us the way Arillas has. We usually visit early June (and sometimes September) and in addition to enjoying this lovely place, we have also met some really lovely people, those who work to make our visits to them so memorable, plus the now familiar faces visiting each year, as we do, and for us, all this helps to make Arillas so special. We have even strarted 'recruiting' friends we have made in other resorts, simply by telling them how lovely Arillas is, they have now joined us, and since they have returned for a second time, I think they like it as much as we do!
We would probably be acquainted with many more of you should I be able to stay out later and 'party' more!! You'd never think my friends used to (and some still do, for some reason!!) call me 'Mave the Rave'!!! But then that is another joy of Arillas, if you don't want to 'rave' in the music bars you can return after yet another great meal (for us, usually Brouklis) for a quiet drink on your balcony with very little noise intrusion. Although that does tend to depend on where you stay!!
Unfortunately, we are not able to return to Arillas later this year since Robin, now working nights at the other 'A' place - as he refers to it when we are in Arillas - (Asda!!)has to take a later date in the year for our second holiday and we will be going to Fuerteventura, but it no way compares to Arillas, except perhaps in the weather!!
However, we are booked to return to Arillas, as ever, next year on 12 June and, of course, can't wait to meet everyone again and enjoy our favourite place.
I hope I have stuck to all the rules of 'forum etiquette' and not rambled on too much!!
I had an almighty problem sorting out a picture and couldn't get the one of both of us on at the right size, so you're stuck with me!! And I hope it works!!
