Glad you had a good time Hassie, we are off next week. Are the rumours about "chips inclusive, jacket spuds extra" true? Please tell me there's more than chips on offer!

Look forward to your report!

hi hassie,
glad you had a good time,thanks ever so much for finding out the rates,really looking forward to reading your review,we are going in june and really looking forward to it,is it worth e-mailing hotel to request low floor?do you or anyone know email address?there are 12 of us going with children of all ages and would feel happier if we were on a low level.

hi gower112
the email adress for holiday village is central@holidayworld.es
if you google holidayworld.es you will get hotel website with lots of nice photos and plenty of info. english version of site also available there too.
hi hassie
glad to hear that you had fab holiday. any info on the new wave pool.
sounds very exciting.

yes it is true you have to pay for baked potatoes at the snack bar.
we only ate at the snack bar at lunch time and survived !!!!!!
There is a choice of what I call fast food, burger ,pizza ,hotdogs,toasted sandwiches and CHIPS etc.
If you want more than this the restaurant at the beach club has a good selection of food,but we only went there once because we don't eat much at lunch time.The only drawback about the beach club restaurant is when it's raining it is a good walk.
We can't fault the food ,yes it was a bit samey but no different to any where you would stay for two weeks and get fed up.
The wave pool etc is coming along but in my husbands opinion won't be ready for along time.
I have tried to upload some pics but as yet can't see them.

Hassie1, I've had a look in the upload album and there are no pictures in it. I did move a few yesterday are these the ones Holiday Village pictures ?

yes those are they !!!!!!!! no David Bailey I'm afraid.

Been away from this site for a while - went to HV Costa del Sol in Sept 05 and had a fab time. Going again for a week on 13th May. Was a bit shocked about building work at first but it sounds as though it's not causing too much of a problem - is it????? Eclipse Direct have not sent us anything to notify us that there is work going on.

Went to HV Viva last year, was ok but not as good as HV Costa del Sol.

Is the evening entertainment still outside - there were lots of probs when we were there in Sept 05 with locals complaining so they kept trying to move the entertainment indoors.

Been really busy with work so cant wait now

Thanks for sharing all the info Hassie - looking forward to it - all you gotta do now is promise us top weather

Anyone going 19th May ? Really looking forward to it, friend has been 3 times and carnt fault the place, hope the weather picks up a little before we go. Have been to HV Turkey when it first opened, loved the resort but foods wasnt too good.

Nice image on Google Earth:-

Hi, the entertainment was inside when I was there but the weather has been very bad so perhaps they only go outside in the summer time.
I have now written my review,hope it helps ,any questions please ask

Hi there me.my daughter and my partner were supposed to be going this year but have had to change till next year does anyone know what the weather is like end of march. will it be hot by then or cold still.

We've returned from an excellent week at HV. Weather worked out scorchio everyday. The resort is very good I must admit. We requested a room with sea views and got one. Restuarants were good. The main restaurant had stacks of choice with differing specialties every night. One night they had a huge salmon counter with whatmust've been a 20lb salmon skinned ready for serving, another they had a huge chocolate fountain for stuffing fruit under and covering (kids loved that and the waitress was very helpful with all the younguns eagerly trying it!). The missus struggled for vegetarian options though. The staff in the restaurants were very efficient, seating was quick, drinks were quick. Rooms great. Snack bar was exactly that, but with all the great food at the restaurants we saw no need to eat the junkfood.
Kids loved it thats the main thing. I'll do a review shortly.
Any questions and I'll post back in the week.
One other thing - do go All Inc, the place is isolated and SC will be an ordeal.

we are in spain in March every year,it is a bit of hit and miss,this year was lovely and hot,rained when we left 26th March ,but it is warmer than uk at any time.has been roughly 30-32 this week on the Torremolinos web cam

Thanks for that,just wondered is the H/V near to the beach,if so whatis it like.And it was mentioned that the H/V is isolated just wondered if you are close to any shops or markets or anything. Is anyone booked to go in the easter holidays next year,were off friday 28th March till 11th April flying from Gatwick. Can't wait .Has anyone been to the H/V turkey and the holiday village costa del sol,how do they compare? and what one do you think is better.Went to the Turkey H/V last year and thought it was excellent.

Does anyone know apart from this website,tripadvisor and the firstchoice website if there are any more websites with pictures of the complex. Thanks

Hi again,just wondered how much money would you suggest to take with you,we are going for 2 weeks all inclusive,maybe will go on a couple of excursions thanks.

hi sweetie pie, h.v is right on the beach but unfortunately on the top of a cliff.They where just building new steps down to the beach,at the side of the beach club,when we where there and alot of steps at that.No shops at all near, apart from hv shop which was expensive.Can't really advise on amount of money to take because it all depends on what you want to do on holiday.Bus service is great and you can find a few supermarkets along the routes. regards hassie 1

hi,
we are going to hv in beginning of june and thinking of hiring a car as we are going sc with a view to possibly upgrading to all inc for a week when we get there,can anyone recommend a good car hir company and should we book before we go or when there?
