I have a fair few visiting in April, and the kids (x6) want to go swimming with the Dolphins. Now, funds are tight back home, so uncle Chilli would like to treat the little blighters, but 6 kids, my sis and bro-in-law...and possibly me and the Mrs. The total of that bill will be around 8000. Does anyone know a cheaper way of doing it...ie clubs, staying overnight there, bribeing an employee, etc, etc?!

Cheers.

Entertainer vouchers for the water park, they were in 2010 and will be in 2011 I assume, can check when I get home.

That doesn't solve the Dolphin swim cost though, it is marginally cheaper if you stay there I seem to remember although I am sure the cost of the room would more than outweigh the savings..

Mate has just been out from the UK done it and didn't stay there, I'll contact her and see how she arranged it.

Her mate bought direct from the Hotel, by doing that you get free access to the waterpark.

Probably not what Uncle Chilli wanted to hear, I am guessing that is the 8k way?!

Well, I look at that, but it only gives you access to the waterpark, and not the Dolphins.....unless they are in your room. That wouldn't surprise me here.

Thanks again.

Try the Dolphinarium, It's 1600 for the first 3 people and 400 each after that for a private session.

Yeah, saw that last night. It looks good although it's in an inside pool...not sure if that makes a difference.

If they stay there, you get free access to the waterpark, lost adventures and other stuff. You probably get a discount on the dolphins too. Why not tell them to stay there as it's not that pricey at the moment?

Looked at that too, but we'd need 2 rooms and the dicsount to the Dolphin bit doesn't justify it.
Thanks for the thought though!

Make sure you book well in advance too...I've tried before to book a week or so before when I've had visitors, and they were all sold out frown
