Im going in December for the first time as my boyfriend raved about it so much he persuaded me to go with him (quite easily though!) As far as I can see, the more people that go, the cheaper it is for rooms
I am looking for a holiday to the Canaries this November.
I am a recreational runner who does not fancy sitting about for 14 days so this place appeals to me but my partner is pregnant and is not at all sporty and we have a 17 month old daughter - would they still enjoy it?
Ferret why not encourage your partner to become more sporty and you look after the kids. I am only kidding really but although I have never been there I have heard there is loads to do for non-running partners.
I have a one bedroomed apartment and I think they've changed the rules, so we used to be able to fit four peeps in, now I think they say the second pair have to be children - but not sure.
It can get a bit cosy if anyone is untidy, but I love it there.
We used to escape from small children by sending them off to the supervised play sessions, and they thoroughly enjoyed it.
Lots to do for runners and non-runners alike, much of it is free
However... it was built for sports people with the focus on the facilites for sports, not on gold taps and marble bathrooms, so although the apartments are functional they are not luxurious. Also, noise travels and there is a silence rule after a certain time at night so if you want to be rowdy you need to be in the bar or disco. They have increased security and the place was patrolled last time I was there, which is no bad thing.
I find it's expensive to go there on my own as an owner (because I have to pay the full maintenance fee for each week) though and I think it would be cheaper to go direct with Sports Tours and let them organise a share with a stranger.
If anyone's interested there's a spare place going, 13-20 November as I can no longer go (starting a new job), flying from Manchester, sharing with 4 others, 2m, 2f....

Definitely recommend it to anyone who wants more from a holiday than laying in the sun for 10 hours a day.
Good to know that there's no resort anywhere in the world completely free from drunken English fools!
Er, you might have to lie about your age though Richard.
Brilliant place !!
Considering a Time Share there, as can't see myself having a year without going to CLS !
Took a pic of the pricelist but not acted on it yet. (4 months later !) I'll have a look later.
I can highly recommed it !!

Anything to watch out for ?
We've been three or four times already so we know we like the place so thats not a risk.
We'd be going in May ? So not mega hot either.
