Moving to Facebook and Google+

In the last years there has been more and more people using social media such as Facebook and Google+. Recognizing this, since about 2 years that we are using them more and more. Most of the participation now happens first in Facebook, second in Google+ and very few in the blog. Facebook has a lot of followers, and a lot of people has the Facebook app installed in their phones and use it everyday. In the same way, we feel that the blog is becoming less and less in fashion. It does not make a lot of sense to post the same new first in the blog, after in Facebook and after in Google+... The same post.

All this is to explain that from now on we will not post in the blog but we will restrict ourselves to Facebook and Google+. Please go to our Facebook page in https://www.facebook.com/RubinaResort and to our Google+ page in https://plus.google.com/+CampingRubinaResortEmpuriabrava/posts

Of course if there are enough of you that insist on keeping this blog, we will reconsider it, but please give a try first to our Facebook page. Thanks!

New building planned for 2014

We are planning a new building nearby the swimming pool. The objective is to have some functionalities finished by the end of June: a new bar and some toilets. The rest of the building will be developed in the next years and we will put there activities that are much better near the pool.

Almost ready for the new bungalows

ok, so now the area for the new bungalows is almost ready, we expect that next week the bungalows' builders will arrive and begin their work.
Thease last days we have been having lots of rain and also cold weather. At last, winter has arrived. Anyway, all is going enough fast.

Progress in the new bungalows area

Heavy machines are now changing the new bungalows area. All is progressing very good, the weather is still excellent.

Dismounting in progress

Dismounting of the 8 old bungalows for 5 persons is already in progress. In about 10 days they should be gone. New bungalows will arrive in the end of December and meanwhile there will be a complete rebuilding of the garden and all facilities in that area.

Website ready for 2014

These last weeks we have been busy preparing the new design for our web site. Finally it is ready and you can view and use it in www.rubinaresort.com.
The new design tries to be usable from mobile phones in that when viewed in a small screen it then disminishes the number of columns and enlarges the character size. The number of pages has also been reduced drastically, so you don't have to wait so much between loading pages. We have tested in an iPhone with the latest Safari and Chrome browsers. It should work also from other phones. (Please tell us if you have problems from your phone...)

New in 2014: providing bed clothes and towels in the bungalows and apartments

As standard equipment in the bungalows and apartments, in 2014 we will be providing bed clothes and towels. Replacement of all this will be done approximately every 7 days. This is a basic service that will ease the stay of the guests.

Goodbye bungalows 5 persons

We have had 8 bungalows for 5 persons, model Gitotel Club, during the last 12 years. These last years they needed more and more reparations and inside the colors, materials were beginning to look outdated. So this winter we are going to replace them for 8 bungalows 5 persons Plus, the same model as the other ones that we already have. The area, distribution of the bungalows is going to be changed also, to be an extension of the Sector C. More about that in the next days.

Changing colors in the playground

Finally, we can change the black nets by beige nets. The process has begun, there are 3 workers involved and in 3-4 days they should have finished.

Prices for 2014 already available

Prices for the next 2014 season are already available in our web site, more specifically as PDF here. There are some changes in the bungalows/apartments that will be explained in the next posts.
As for the camping plots we distinguish now adults and children. In most camping places children are aged from 3 to 12. Surprisingly here it will be from 3 to 16 years old. The cause of this extension from 12 to 16 is just to adapt better to the tourist tax. As you know, following orders from the inept political dictatorship in Catalonia, we have now to apply a tourist tax of 0,5 € for the persons > 16 years old, for a maximum of 7 days. Distinguishing in this way between adults and children makes it easier to apply this tax, because only adults will pay it.
