Title: Blue lights on the webcam
Post by: Palmrat on September 28, 2013, 11:10:27 PM
Such a shame that I can only see those awful blue lights on the web cam. Yuk spoils it completely for me.

Like a pork chop in a synagogue, it stands alone, hated and reviled. Please switch it off for good.

Can honestly say I was not concerned by the blue lights, much better than some of the unsightly signs that lie dotted about.

I asume that these are the Ammos signs that are being refereed to. Haven't seen them on the webcam yet and was very surprised when I walked alone there on saturday. The beds on the beach look very comfy under the tree umbrellas but it did seem a strange thing to find in Arillas, guess I will get see to it aslong as its not a trend that is going to spread alone the beach. When we get back to blight will see what it loks like on the webcam. Viv x

Not sure when the sign went up, but was there and shining brightly in August, and personally, I dont like it.. I dont like the feel with the four poster and padded beds either, its sort of brings a class thing to the beach, maybe me, but all beds should be the same.

To me the atmosphere in Arillas is a very delicate blend of ingrediants day or night, and these things just dont fit.

Just my thoughts....

I liked the light when I was there, thought it looked classy, like Ammos itself. But if the whole of the seafront was lit up for each restaurant I'm not too sure I'd feel the same.

And also those spongy covers for the sunbeds owned by Ammos - we normally go for a dip and then lie on the sunbed til we dry off before lunch.  Don't the sponge covers get all wet or do the people sunbathing on them just sunbathe?  We couldn't work it out!!!

I really like ammos, but sticking a luminous sign on the edge of beach isn't adding to the beauty of Arillas. In fact it's crass and vulgar and is more appropriate to Las Vagas than Arillas.

Come on Ammos take it down!!!!

The blue light is going to become a feature I feel.
Ammos are a business, advertising their business; they are hardly going to spend money erecting the advert only to remove it after one season.
It is something that is not excessively bright; it is not something that is going to spoil anyone’s holiday.
It may look to some a bit of an eyesore but it will become part of the Arillas furniture, is it causing any harm, I feel not. It advertises a nice quiet place on the seafront where people enjoy a nice quiet relaxing hour or so

In keeping with the quality of the outlet I think, have been impressed with the amount of food/drink going out onto the sunbeds and this at a quite time of year.

Yes I noticed that too and they seemed to be putting on more music themed entertainment when we were there and they were very busy.

I love Greek tavernas, but you can't stop progress I suppose.
Just wish it wasn't so bright at night.

We I think then new sunbeds and waitress service are a great idea and give the beachfront a much more sophisticated look that will hopefully appeal to new visitors who expect a little more. The horizon beds are provided free for their guests so that must be a lovely option.

At least if these businesses have 'rented' a part of the beach that will ensure that there are sunbeds there unlike at the start of the season where people were complaining about the lack of any beds. As for the sign I thought it looks nice. The thing is, everyone who know Ammos, knows that it is a beautiful classy chill-out place so the last think they would want is to give a 'tacky' image. Everyone these days has to re-invent themselves in order to maximise their trade and I feel that by having these music nights, they are offering something for those who dont want to sit in the bars but arent quite ready to go back to their apt after dinner. My only gripe is that it is a little TOO dark once the sun goes down!

Totally agree - Went to the reggae night and it was so lovely and chilled sat there drinking moijitos that we stayed much longer than we probably normally would and the bar filled up very quickly. It has got to be good for business.

We alwsys go to Ammos and love it there. My only fear is that  if all the others decideto do the same thing nobody will be able to lay on the beach without buying a drink and not every body will want to do this instead of just going for a walk along the beach. Vivx

I absolutely loved laying on the comfy Ammos beds during my September break this year - when it was just John and I.  When it was the three of us though, in July, it was a bit restrictive as I would have felt guilty breaking up any of the pairs of beds.  Thus we stuck with the usual ones for the family break.

I also loved eating in Ammos at lunch and we did so several times, have never been in the evening though.  Is it the same menu at night or do they do anything more substantive?

Ps.  Booked our flights this morning with Jet2 and used SALE10 to get 10% discount.  So 4 adult fares, August 4th for 2 weeks, pre booked seats, meals and 22k luggage each was £1,450.  Not cheap but not extortionate either.  Oh, they are daytime flights too.  Happy days:)
