The current website “resdesign” is very confusing, and in my opinion worse that the older design. There is far too much information on the page, and much of it is out of date. The Tweet thing is a waste of time since it should be used for regular updates, not story updates which happen once a month (RSS is better for that). Also, making a website look like a paper is the first wrong step.
I am one of your big fans. I have been going to Playa Granada since 1976 and was delighted when I found your site.
Keep up the good work.
