The decor is lovely at Royal Plaza. An effort has really been made.
Santa is there until 22/12/2008. Can't recall the timings though.
They have free activities for the kids too. Xmas ornament making with cookies and juice all for free and another activity too. tried to book in but all full.

Not all the shops are expensive. They have some unique boutique concepts that offer something a bit different as opposed to the same old highstreet brands that you come across on every main street around the world.

I admit some shops are pricey but great when you are up for a treat!

Veleno is fantastic for the ladies. Love the unique jewellery pieces in there and it does not break the bank, but something very different to hold on to for life.
Caribu is a fab shop for kids. excellent quality at typical UK highstreet prices.... much better can adams, zara etc..
