How to plan a group arrival by bus

1) Coordinate early with reception

• Share your anticipated arrival time, number of buses, and group size so staff can guide parking and staging on arrival.
• Reception can assist in German, English, Spanish, French, and Dutch.
• Take advantage of self check‑in where suitable to shorten queues.

2) Align bookings with official check‑in windows

Use these times to plan your timing and handout schedules:

Tip: If your bus arrives before accommodations are ready, use communal areas, the beach, or sports courts to keep the group engaged while key holders complete formalities.

3) Navigate to the entrance confidently

• Follow local signage toward Sant Martí d’Empúries; Las Dunas is well sign‑posted.
• For precise drop‑pin navigation, set your satnav to ///delivering.rhythm.gratitude.

4) On arrival: parking and flow

• Coaches can enter and park on the campsite; on arrival, follow staff directions to the indicated area.
• Keep documents and booking references ready for the group leader(s) handling check‑in.
• Use self check‑in when available to accelerate processing for large parties.
