hi,

just in case anyone is interested i have just spoken to fc customer services and they have told me that everything is now ok at the resort, the pools were the first thing mentioned and the rooms are all completed they have been told that everything is ok at the resort after the 25th may.... We go on 7th june so they have an extra week before we get there

Hi Noonaa Dont think that just because customer services say its ok that its going to be ok. We were told that everything was on track and that the holiday village was ready and yet when we got there it was far from the truth. They are telling people what you want to hear. We have been there seen it and got the T-shirt it is not ready. It was the worst holiday we have ever had and we will never use first choice again. They lie to get themselves out of a tight spot and when you confront them they are rude. Read the reviews they speak for themselves from the people who have experienced it we cant all be wrong.
I hope for your sake that its all done but dont bank on it.

Hi there

Has anybody got any pics on the Family Rooms?? I have been on TA and the pics on there seem ok.

I just think they never should have taken bookings for May 2008 to make sure everything was up and running. My husband is a Contracts Manager for a construction company and I know that he will be looking at every little detail any making comments!!

My husband and I cancelled our renew of our wedding vows for August. FC couldn't even get the paper work right for us to fill our details in. The first lot of paper work was as if we were getting married, the second lot was for the wrong hotel and we didn't even get the third. I thought if they can't get it right here what would it be like over there!! :rofl

Depite all the things we have read we will be going in August and keeping our fingers crossed. As long as the kids enjoy themselves then that is all that matters. We will be spending most of our time on the beach because that is where the kids want to be in and out of the sea and playing in the sand. If the pool is ready we will go there , if not it doesn't matter.

We have paid a lot of money (£5,000 :yikes ) the most we have ever spent on a holiday as we have upgraded on flights and a family room. We will be upset if they are not right and we will not go with FC again!!
:sun2 :think :cheers

hi there just returned from hvws and was quite disappointed we booked a royal suite and there was nothing royal about it! there was still a lot of work going on around us and everyday something new appeared! but the point is they should never have accepted bookings for may until it was ready! i've always travelled with fc and we couldn't fault the first class flight - we wanted it to be special for our 30th wed anniv. - but apart from that there was nothing any different than the standard! i won't be going there again have been to much nicer places in the caribbean where the sea is much nicer i must say though the staff were lovely and it's not their fault so i felt a bit sorry for them. :cry:

Im going on the 8th June, just been told by fc that splash pool open but slide not open, really want to know from someone who has been if there is a priate ship with slides as this is advertised.

FC are calling me after 11.30 as they also advised me that the activities pool has been closed down for maintenence as everyone was being covered in blue paint, not sure how long closed for. They said if there are advertised facilities not available I will be offered a free cancelation or transfer

Really considering if offered transfer to occidental grand as I know some people have already done this. :que :que

I have seen pictures of these things not been finished but i am not sure what they are like at this moment. :(

Sorry to say but ive jumped ship
FC called to say splash pool open but slides not working may be getting worked on while im there and if they are splash pool would have to be closed.
Activities pool closed and no date as yet for this to be re-opened

Was offered to change with no admin fee to Occidental Grand or Royal Park so opted for Occidental Grand and got £200 back.

This hotel looks great really glad I have decided to move
