we just got back today, not a family 5 adults aged 25, 24, 23, 21 and 20. We love it, i dont think its expensive as we got a 6 person villa and between 5 of us it worked out ?92 each for 3 nights which i think is amazing, the supermarket is expensive so take your own food and drink, restaurants good service and nice food, i think average price. I can see how it could be expensive for familys but if you plan what your doing in advance, take your own bikes and food it shouldnt be that bad. We go to spend hours on the rapids! so bruised.
