Hey Vicky,

Im pretty sure that the hotel did a celebration package so could be worth asking?

On the subject of the gym....had good intentions, took trainers and shorts....never got there! Did lengths in the pool instead. Was planning to go in the morning when not so hot - but was always hot!

Have a lovely time x

Would anyone who has just come back from HV Turkey recommend what is best currency to take this year. Having been previously and always took sterling I figure the Turkish might not be so keen on our pound!. What do the kids clubs take for parties and highropes etc? is it still sterling or lira only. Any advice much appreciated

Hiya scoobydoo............i read a few posts back that kids club is now lira only, when we went a few yrs back they took £ aswell.

I was thinking of taking maybe£50 worth or lira and the rest £ but not sure.

Does anyone know if the spa do treatments like nails? specifically acrylic infills? or is it just massage etc i cant remember.
All i went in there for last time was a fab package of sauna, turkish bath and massage.....hope they sill do that?

hi vicky there is a nail salon there think it was in the hair dressers i saw a few people have their nails done while we were there.

hi scooby doo the kids club did only take tl this time but really thats the only time we used lira but on the up side the high ropes was free this year

they wanted manly lira this year when we went in may
they do nails in the hair dressers not sure but i think they were acrylic

hope this helps

Hi, thanks I think mainly sterling with a bit of lira should do it. Great about the high ropes being free I remember it being £10 a go a couple of yrs ago and my daughter wanted a go nearly every day cost me a fortune but she was determined to get right to the top and jump onto that swing! Last time we were there they were building another type of swing thing by the high ropes, is that finished now? And can you spend any type of currency in the on site shops for lilos etc.

Thanks for the replies on the nails.........i must sound mad lol but need to get them done for an event 10days before we go away and i thought they might start looking shabby 2nd week of hols so i might need them filling!

Oh the highropes my son didnt do that last time i think he maybe have been too young but hes 8 now nearly 9 (not til we return) whats the age on it?

Scooby doo ....top tip, asda have lilos in for £2 ! ive just picked up 2 nice and eay to pack cos they are flat and i shall pass on when i leave!

I have just received my new look ticket from first choice with all the bumff about the village.
This will be out third time to the village, and i was wondering, there is a part in there with
regard to men wearing long trousers for the evening meal, not that i am one to not wear trousers
but the other 2 times i have been (2006+2007) it has been acceptable to wear shorts. Has this changed
recently or is the dress code still smart casual (ie tailored shorts etc)??

Many thanks in advance and 18 sleeps to go....can't wait :cheers

Oh i really hope not, my hubbie wont be impressed in that heat !
He only ever wears smart shorts with a shirt or 3/4length ones.

hi all, just wondering what the set up was for the registering the kids for the clubs? and how does the booking of the themed restaurant's work now? as i can remember it was a mad dash to get to the lists for the kids club register the last time we were there, is this still the case!!!!!! getting very excited!!!!!!!!
Reply
hi everyone 1st yes they do take any currency in the on site shops
2nd the age this year for the high ropes is 6 years and up
3rd yes they do still do the crazy designs in the boys hair loads of kids had it done and the mens shaves too
and last off no the dress code has not changed my hubby wore shorts or 3/4 most nights so dont worry

hi best time to register kids for kids club is at welcome meeting well before it starts cos after everyone trying to do it and to book al a carte restaurants its still the same you book in the morning for that night outside main restaurant but you do have to be there quite early cos the queue gets very big

wish we were going again only been back 3 weeks too
Reply
thanks kerry, do you still have to book the kids in daily though? and is there still clubs on both sides?
Reply
yes there are still kids clubs on both sides if you already filled out the card for where you will be then you can hand it straight in only takes longer when waiting for a pen to do it there its the signing out that takes a bit of time
Reply
oh thanks kerry, bet you were wishing you was just going!!!!
