If anyone has contacts with email addy please pass them along

As for the water. If in fact they are still using the 5 gallon water in the hallways, do they supply something to hold the water in, or should we bring our own empty bottles?

Thanks again,

OttSens.

We are planning on the Monster Truck as well and I have gotten two prices of $75 and $80 for the 9-5 day with lunch and drinks included. If all 22 of my group goes we will be $150 off on one of them.....
I know Mels Tour (by the Checkpoint Bar) offers this as well although it is not listed on the website.

Hi Planner

Thanks for the response. I have asked the tour operator (First Choice) and they've told us to contact the hotel direct as they can't do it.

Does anyone have the website and email address for HV please?

hello planner,
have you any idea of the horror stories that is on another forum??
is there any truth in it????
it does look so nice that some of the comments dont ring true but hey thats me.
i cant wait to go, and cant wait for the first reviews to come.
thanks

The other forum:

No I have no idea what is there! However, regardless of what it says: the resort in its current form has only been open for 12 days!!! I am not sure the other forum represents anything going on right now.

My guess is there will be problems and bugs to work out. This was a huge renovation to the property and a major change in how things were done. I cannot say at all how things are being run but I know the manager and I know the people at Signature and First Choice Vacations. They will work hard to make sure their clients are happy!

Just be polite with your requests and issues and they will do what they can to help.

Water: yes their is water available in the rooms and at all bars!

To everyone who has expressed their gratitude - you are very welcome. Glad I could help.

I am hoping to go back over this week to ask a few more questions. For those coming down - get in touch with me. Love to meet up and chat.

Hey Planner,

My wife and I along with another couple will be down there Jan 18th. We should hook up for a beer or 12.

I buy

(Only at resort though lo haha)

Thanks for looking into the water situation. Having water in the rooms is a HUGE advantage that my wife was a tad concerned about.

OttawaSenators · #**129** 12-12-2006, 05:52 PM

So Planner, you must have some contacts with the excursions then ? You need to hook us up with someone for the monster truck safari

Love that trip.

BTW - Are any of the children in need of lego and stuff like that? We have alot of it and want to bring it. What about adult clothing?

Ron

PS: The water in the rooms : Are they the small bottles, or is it a jug of water ? Hahahahah Sorry for asking so many questions.

I answered the post on Debbie's and told the guy he was only stirring the pot and passing on second hand information, the post has since been locked with a note that the people at the resort should be the one's making whatever comments about it not some bystander.
