Good news anyone going with kids as pump has arrived for splash pool and is getting fitted as we speak, guests have been told it will be up and running by the weekend :tup :tup

Go about half way down page a review from holiday girl puts pics on, think she must be in one of the posh rooms as has hammock outside and I know standard ones don't have this, looks really nice.

Im Jealous

There is also a pic from another reviewer of the splash pool, unfinished all be it but looks like it will be great.

you'll be pleased to know that all standard rooms also have a hammock on balcony/terrace.
Hope you and your family have a lovely time. As I've said before I think we were very
unfortunate to go opening weekend and once everything is up and running the resort will
probably be lovely. Just a shame it is First Choice Exclusive and they will not be getting
my custom again!

Oh thats nice to know abbie, I thought it was just the posh ones
It is really dissapointing that they allowed people to book the first two weeks as it is a lot of money not to enjoy the resort, I agree if I had a really bad experience with fc I would not travel with them again, Im not too good at the compaining stuff though.

Looks like they are finally getting their act together, Abbie, can you tell me anything about the splash park or was it just in bits when you went, I just want to know if there was a pirate ship with slides???

Son is pirate mad and know he would love it.

There are slides. If you look on trip advisor under the reviews
Kazzaliza has put a picture of the splashpark in her review. Even
though it wasn't anywhere near finished when we were there you
can tell the kids will love it once done. One problem though loads of
sunbeds round the splashpark but no shades but the lack of shade
was something that everybody commented about throughout the
whole resort.

Thanks abbie, I have seen the pics its looks great, and post on there from yesterday has said pump has arrived and will be fitted for weekend, that was from someone there now so thats good news, should deffintatly be done for when I go in two weeks.

Hello Fatherboyle ,

Thanks for info looked at pics it looks good. When do you go, we dont go till 13th Sept so we have ages to go yet. I was really worried untill the better reviews starting coming in and now i am getting excited. It still seems a long way off.

Thanks again

Hi, We are a family going at end June and wanted to know the dress code for the restaurants, mainly for adult male and teenage male. Are 3/4 trousers acceptable or do you need to wear long trousers/jeans?

Any advise much appreciated
Reply
Hi to The Halls

In the buffet restaurants people were wearing shorts but in the a la carte restaurants sometimes
people were allowed to wear 3/4 length trousers but sometimes people were told they needed
to wear full length trousers so I would pack some full length trousers just in case!
Have a great holiday
