Santa's secret home trip with Crystal

Can any one please tell what the Santa%26#39;s secret home trip with Crystal is like and were do they take you to see Santa, also what days can you go on the trip. We are staying in the Yllas saaga apartments over Xmas 2008 and want to take our Daughters to see Santa before Christmas day.

Hi Elize,

Sorry I can%26#39;t help you as I%26#39;ve never been before but was just wondering when you%26#39;re going? I%26#39;ve just booked with Crystal for the 14th Dec 08 staying at the Saaga Apts!

My main priority is to take my three children to see Santa and I%26#39;ll probably do this in resort through Inghams as I%26#39;ve heard their trips are good and slightly cheaper than Crystal.

Aww I wanted to go for Christmas Day but hubby wasn%26#39;t so keen....maybe next year I%26#39;ll get my way lol.

I%26#39;ll be at the airport crying going home just as you%26#39;re arriving !!

BTW, I%26#39;ve emailed the LappVillage about the possibility of Santa visiting our apartment...I%26#39;ll let you know if I hear back from them. A few ladies had this in Levi and it was one of the most amazing and magical experiences of their holiday.

Hi Elixe - just got back from Yllas with Crystal we went on the Santa trip very good. You go on the coach about 10 minutes drive the elves! on the coach then take you through a candle lit trail through the forest where you come across Sanat secret house they take you in and Santa is sat by an open fire in a large candle lit hut. Each family then see santa in turns whilst the resy are sat at surrounding tables, theres no rush. Our 5 year old sat on his knee and had a good 5 minute chat whilst we took photos and video (though a little dark) as much as we wished. Then you can get a drink and the children go to a table and make snowmen with the elves. Then back to Santa where they all sat round and sang carols whilst he played guitar. then there was questions for santa and after about 1.25 hours we left hugging santa. then elves then stand you in a cirle outside and you sing this little chant and dance (which we told our daughter made his hideout disappear then back through the forest to the coach. Our daughter thought it was amazing all the children there aged from 2 to 11 were in awe of it all well worth the money. No souvenirs to buy very uncommercial well worth it - take tissues to see their faces was just incredible.

Hi Beanies

Glad you had a good holiday.

Was the santa trip booked with crystal ski and if so did you book it in advance?sounds lovely.

How was Yllas and the cabins?

|||

Yes booked in advance with crystal and booked early only because when the brochure was reissued mid year the price increased. We also booked the the reindeer sleigh through them to which was great. Will get round to writing a review throughly enjoyed it though. Crystal reps were very good all there trips were via Artic Safaris. The only slight disappointment was the Log cabins were more of wooden clads ones we were just at the back of the Akas hotel so could see the log cabins , however they were internally really good clean etc video no dvd. As for Yllas loved it trips to Jullis Poros Pipoloa and if you walk past the supermarket a another great pizza place recommended by the rep 14%26quot; pizza for 10 euros very nice. Overall loved it would definetly go back though this years a nono with a new baby in July and we are off to Orlando April 09 so maybe a couple of years

Hope you had a good time
