I tried to bring my niece as I had many fond memories of trabolgan and when we showed up it was closed and is housing refugees with over 3 years.

It wo...

Accommodation was very nice and clean...

Good live bands each night. Apartments are basic but very clean and have everything you could want including full kitchen. Very warm. Trabolgan has its own small stone beach, excellent pitch and putt....
