The mini van never arrived at our hotel to collect us even though we were waiting in reception 30 mins before the pick up time as requested. We tried the telephone numbers given on the voucher from the mini bus company but they were unobtainable! Eventually we had to arrange our own taxi at a further cost to take us to the pier. We missed the boat we had originally booked, but luckily there was space on the next boat
