You can post the photos in the Photo Gallery, link at top of page, clearly marking them for the Corfu album.

mmmm looked at that, not familiar with your routine for uploads and dont have the time to experiment now, that looks time consuming!
It would be prefered if you put them in the galery then link to them or it slows down the pages a bit
We had booked to go to the aqua beach club in June next year and after reading your comments and seeing the photos of the "building site" i too became quite concerned. I called first choice and said that i wanted to change my booking but i said that i was not prepared to pay any admin costs as i thought that i had been mislead when i booked this hotel, after putting me on hold for about 5 mins the girl came back to me and said that yes i could change my booking with no extra cost, so i would say to anyone who wishes to change to make sure you are not charged any admin fees. We are now going to the blue bay escape resort!
We have booked to go to this hotel in July 2006 and we have decided that we are going to stick with it until then and see what happens. When we booked this holiday we had such a good deal, so if it does turn out that the hotel isn't completed then First Choice are going to have to send us to the at no extra charge to another hotel, eqivalent to the one we booked.
All building work stopped by the local council for the moment due to irregularities with the building permit.
It doesn't sound to me that this hotel is ever going to be built. Even if it is built then it will never be ready in time, I feel First Choice should start looking into this matter.
Anybody been there or know of it, I believe it is new?
How long is the journey from the airport?
Will the weather/temp be any different from typical Corfu weather at thist time of year as the resort is located at the north of the Island?
Thanks, Del
just booked to go to this hotel next august for two weeks . Dont know anyone thats been there, but looks good hotel plenty to do, especially with children . I think it is new for next year. Ive booked with co.op travel, they matched price I got off the internet with first choice.
Thanks for the tip with first choice. I agree that the complex looks great. Looking to get booked up this weekend.
If you print quote off internet and take it with you to travel agent they will match the price, saved me £200. If taking children best to book early to get free child place and good flight times.
We've changed our Aqua Beach Club holiday to the Blue Bay Escape 'Family Plus' package from First Choice. We based our decision on this web site and others. The new holiday was less money but we were charged £15 per person to move it. We will now be trying to claim this back!
We thought that this was going to be our holiday sorted......
Not so - First Choice sent us a letter today 6/8/2005 stating that the Blue Bay Escape resort is no longer a Family Plus resort and that "most" of the kid's club activities are no longer available.
Aaaargh!
We are thinking of claiming all our money back from FC and booking with someone else.

just to let you i too have booked to go to the corfu aqua beach club next june, it doesn't open till may 2006 and building hasn't even started yet!!!! I'm a bit concerned as i'm taking 4 young children and like you said it looks like a fantastic holiday but will it be finished?
We were originally booked for the aqua beach club then changed to the Blue Bay Escape and have had the same letter from 1st choice about withdrawing the family plus facilites, after some discussions they allowed us to totally cancel our holiday and were free to book with another operator, as it happens we have booked again with first choice to the sun tropical holiday village in lanzarote looks fantastic, third time lucky I hope!!! Stand your ground with first choice though and demand a free cancellation cos they're obviously going to try to get you to stay with them but at the end of the day they have withdrawn a total family facility and thats shy I booked.

Still no work in progress. Will take more photos when I get a chance.
booked for aqua beach club for next june and after watching PHU decided not to risk it. was going to change to blue bay but after reading bad reviews now going to coral beach resort sharm el sheikh
after looking at the pictures in the link above so glad we changed. anoyed with first choice though they charged us £30 per person to change, £15 admin cost and £15 because we are now going in april(different season) what a rip off
Just received phone call from first choice saying that the advert for this hotel IS MISLEADING and that I can have a full refund of £945. if I want. I am going to accept this as I am not in a situaton where I can risk going on a holiday that could turn out to be a nightmare as this is our first holiday abroad with 4 young children. If anyone else is in the same situation then I recommend you write a letter as I got nowhere with the people I spoke to on the phone.
Photo update today.
At least your calls have ensured that First choice have amended their website description, though that is only half the story.
