A year later, all the holiday makers are back at the Solana Resort for more sun, sand and all-inclusive drinks.

Summer Special (2009)
The 2009 summer special cleared up all the un-answered questions from the Series 2 finale. Will Mel come out his coma? Will Mick be left stranded in jail? Will Janice run off with handsome waiter Jack? Will The Oracle ever reach dry land? At this point the show switched from half-hour episodes to hour long adventures.
