I didn’t like it because I had to stay in the same room as my brother. Our room was very small and there wasn’t a TV! We couldn’t see the sea from the window but I liked the swimming pool.

    Explanation
    Person C, Caroline, had nothing to do at night. In the blog post, Caroline mentions that after dinner in the evening, there wasn't anything to do at the hotel. She found it really boring. This is supported by the statement that there were TVs in the rooms, but the programmes were in French and they couldn't understand them. Therefore, person C had nothing to do at night.

    Correct Answer
    C. A short distance

Therefore, the most logical option is that Robert and his family took a taxi to go sightseeing.
