You are correct that this has been viewed over 47,000 times, but I betcha any money the other couple we are going with are responsible for at least 10,000 of those views

She is always lurking on the fourm, but has yet to sign up .....


WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR J .....


2 Weeks today and we are off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In all seriousness, it's cool that this thread has stayed alive for sooooo long. I was looking to get to 30 pages, but now I can see this thread getting to 70-80 pages.


GREGG: This has got to be getting close to a record for your website ? I would be interested to know this.

Secondly, I would agree that someone from Signature / First Choice or even the Hotel Manager should view this thread and at least try to address some issues within.

I would not expect them to reply here. Put yourself in there shoes. If your just in "middle" management and you post, you could land in some hot water. Companies like to keep to themselves.

Although if I was one of them, I would sure be lurking and seeing if I could retify some issues if I could.

Again though ...... The people to go after is Signature / First Choice. There the BIG guys in this whole thing.

Has anyone changed their reservations from HV to somewhere else? The pictures posted look just like Jack Tar did except for the waterslide! Yes, the "marble " in the bathroonm is a different color and the bedding is a different color. So for those of us who loved Jack Tar, I don't think there will be any difference.

selmabg:
You are wrong about Jack Tar being the same. Please write while you are there your feelings.
Much is the same, staff, food, buildings.
Much has changed, new Asian restaurant is outstanding, class system - red bracelet vs others, repeater means nothing, very young unmanaged children everywhere, all and I mean all entertainment is geared to 3-10 year old, Nothing - absolutely nothing Dominican period. If bingo being called by a Brit is your form of evening entertainment you will be in heaven. Otherwise completely bored. The Anglo entertainers would have trouble making the cast of a high school play.

Does anyone have an email address for the Holiday Village?

[lizzy31]

hello to all...me and my family have just returned from the holiday village Golden Beach. I have been reading though posts on this site and feel that i can offer a truthfull opinion.......
The holiday village is nowhere near a 4 star standard.We stayed there for 2 weeks (over chistmas) and was faced with endless problems..........
my idea of a holiday is to relax and have fun... NOT chase around tying to get problems sorted.
The party consisted of my husband and our two children.
The First room had no lighting in the childrens room!The shutters in the bathroom would not close shut so when taking a shower people in nearby rooms could see straight in.
The toilet backed up several times and flooded the room containing sewage.
After several failed attempts of fixing it they decided it was time to give us another room.The second room was not even fit to be given out.When it rained it rained on our bed!!
Our room was cleaned 8 times out of a possible 14....
I believed before we went that it was a new resort that was up and running smoothly..what we stepped into was a resort that had been rushed and far from up and running...the plumbing is appauling!
the food was not what you would expect from a 4star resort..It was cold...left standing a long time...flys were all over the main buffet and landing on food......
the food in the alacarte restaurants was similar to the food in the main buffet...
the staff at the front desk were rude.......
entertainment was very boring...
if you have children the children will enjoy the entertainment...
not for Adults or teens!!
Bingo seemed very popular but a hefty price to pay to play bingo each night..if i wanted to play bingo each night i would have stayed at home and gone to the local bingo hall...
Laundry room was not open (self laundry) there is a laundry service available where the cleaner takes it and brings it back..but very pricy...
For people hoping to do your own laundry you will be dissapointed as the laundry facilities are not ready...
Very dissapointed to have worked so hard all year to pay for a holiday and to arrive to a dump........

thats 1 thing that is really too bad.

you go to a country, and hope to have entertainment that is from ..... wait its coming ...... the country.

Oh well. You can't have everything your way.

I guess we need to just go into town to get some culture plus the monster truck thingy

So the red bracelet. Have you seen the adults only pool and swim up bar?

Any chance you can grab a picture of it and send it here ??

Does the Red Bracelet people get first chance at the a la carts?

I think we may need to do something with this thread.

Here's my take:

We have almost 500 posts on here.

Anyone that is new to this thread would find it difficult to navigate though everything.

We should compile a list of the current PRO's and CON's with the hotel from first hand accounts from this thread and make 1 post for it. This way someone can look at that and get most of the information from the past posts.





We should also include all the First Choice / Signature concerns as well, so we don't double, triple up on the same concerns.

Anyone wanna take on this task?

Maybe we could start , then just quote it and add on ?

Thoughts?


WOOT WOOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was # 500 on the post count

Congrats to ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
