Just back from our holiday to Portugal and the towels were great! They take a bit to get used to at first, as they are very thin, but the novelty is they dry really quickly! We have the XL size and they were perfect for the sun loungers. We took them to the beach for the day and I was surprised at how clean they stayed - the sand just brushed off and didn’t stick! And the bonus was they were dry for heading back to the hotel. They fold up really small and thin so perfect for taking out and about and especially good for the suitcases! Overall, love these towels and my eldest wants to use his for the swimming pool!
