Default my thoughts..

The people that have been should be able to give a truthful opinion and share their experience with others.......
Personally i feel that having saved money 11 months to go on holiday for christmas...to arrive at a resort that is not ready to be opened a huge dissapointment......

I agree with you. We leave on the 18th, hence the reason why I have been so active on these forums to spark a conversation and find out whats going on in the hotel.

i think that if we had everything on 1 post then it gives people a quick study vs going though 500 posts and 51 pages.

This is almost becoming a novel.,

if you could simply make a list without personel feelings that would be a great start.

Point form, then a quick note.

ie.

Cons:
Toilet - Didn't flush all the time. Overfilled, left Sewage
Rooms - Cleaned 50% of the time
Buffet - Flies were flying around

Pros:
Beach - Nice

(Having some for info per thing would be nice)

ie. Beach - Nice, little rocks, nice waves, etc
Food - Good variety, tasted normal.

BooB Pool --- ooops I mean Adult Area Pool - Lots of topless women

Had to let that one in. Lets Hope I'm right

wonderland...i figured out ( i think) why your link is not working.

with kodak gallery...you have to send peeps invites to use your album...( i have my huneymoon pics from cuba there already)

if you use a site likle webshots.com...you can set it up so that one and all can view with out having to sign up.

kodakgallery is primarily a purchasing site...not so much for sharing.

so...my i get an invite to see your photos please?!?

thanks

ooooops, not getting many good reviews.
I am getting married there in april, really hope tething problems will be sorted out. I want it to be remembered in a positive way (as it should be) not in a bad way.

Thanks to everyone for their reviews whether good or bad. It is useful to have an insight into what is going on there. If necessary so we can prepare ourselves for the worst lol.

I myself am not worried. U have problems wherever you go. Can anyone name one vacation where they didnt have some kind of problem during there stay?

I know this point has been discussed but i have to say that i am from england and booked with first choice. I booked my wedding in July and i wanted a delux room as it is my honeymoon aswell but they were none available. The travel agent said to me that We would still have access to the adult only pool, the extra money was just for the upgraded room, check in priority etc (£7 extra a night isnt a lot extra).

Well I suppose they didnt know much about the resort then. (although i am a little upset that I have manged to get my children in rooms with my parents but cant escape from them around the pool lol. well it is my wedding and honeymoon.)

I just cant wait to go 116 days and counting lol

Well i have finished now. everyone who is going soon keep ur chin up and gop with a positive attitide always works better than going expecting the negative. Remember to remember us on ur return

Thanks
kelly

Having read most of the reviews, some bad and good I just hope the FC management pull out all the stops to iron out any teething problems before I travel on the 10 Feb.

Having experienced a bad trip last year with FC - HV Turkey, I will be reporting all problems to the FC rep as they happen and will make sure the rep fills in a customer compliant report each time.

Make sure the rep gives you a copy of the report as proof of your compliant.

Without the report FC UK will not ackowledge your compliant when you return back to the UK and any compensation offered may be limited.

If you do make a formal compliant to FC UK remember to decline the first offer of comphensation (our HV Turkey compliant took 5 letters and 2 months to resolve).

Just good basic info - Just in case!

Is anyone travelling in the 10 Feb it would be good to here from you.

We are all looking forward to this trip.

Default Update

I have been having a problem tying down the company / hotel to a meeting to get an update. They are swamped with issues and trying to resolve them.

In my opinion: they are 100% booked without 100% of the rooms being ready.

The representatives on the ground are doing their best to help out. Please don't take it out on them.

More soon.
