For sporty people, the Country Club offers tennis, squash, and badminton If the children are too young to join these sports, there are activity clubs Greenwood is a good place for families as it is traffic-free- you explore on foot or by bike Some people complained that this was inconvenient, but I was pleased to be out in the fresh air For evening entertainment, there are shows and cinemas

Accommodation is in variety of apartments of different sizes These have up to four bedrooms , a kitchen and a bathroom, as well as a dining area Before going, I thought the apartments might not be big enough for all of us, but I was pleasantly surprised- it was not too crowded at all
