Hi All :wave:
I have booked for my brood (me,hubby,& 5yr old) to go to the White Sands in Mexico on 11th May flying from Manchester. Was a little concerned as it isnt open yet but hoping it will be ready :D
We have been to other carribean islands jamaica, dominican republic 4 times and cuba last year so hoping this year will be just as good. :sun2

Hi My Husband and I are booked in for the 3rd May which is when it re-opens. Like alot of you we have been looking for re-views of this village and the only comparison is the Octaginal. Wether this is the same one who really knows but we will keep you posted after our holiday. Lets hope it lives up to expectations.We have booked the Royal Suite and we too upgraded our flights and we upgraded the airport lounge with the add on that first choice advertise hope its worth it. I noticed there is someone going on the 11th May we will still be there then, we are flying from Gatwick. Hope you all have a great time. see you there. :wave: wendy :cheers

Fantastic to hear of somebody else who is also going out for opening weekend!
My husband and I also fly out from Gatwick on 3rd May for 2 weeks. We have also
upgraded our flights and have booked into a Royal Suite (now know apparently as Royal
Deluxe Rooms instead). Lets hope everything is up and running by then. Only 5 weeks
to go!!

Awww I wish I could help but unfortunately I'm just a moderator on a holiday forum so you probably know more than I do about it all.

Sorry :(

Hi,
As im not going until September will anyone wh is going before then let me know if the royal suites upgrade is worth it? We are booked in a royal suite room already but are wndering if it is worth the money. We went to the dom rep HV last yr and upgraded but they had a few more extras and so would love to know if it is def worth doing this other than having a quiet area if you have no kids etc.

Thanks in advance x

Contacted FC as a bit concerned about the lack of information about how the renovations are coming along. They have told me that the hotel is still scheduled to be open by the time I go (3rd May) but if this changes and they overrun they will let us know - doesn't exactly fill you with confidence when you have only just under five weeks until you go!!! If anybody else hears anything different please advise. Many Thanks

Hi everyone,

We are a family of 4 going to the White Sands Holiday Village on 25th May08 and have been looking at upgrading to Star class premier. We are flying from Manchester and have been quoted £1400 for 2 adults and 2 kids (15&14) although It's possible that the 15 year old is now classed as an adult. I just wondered what price other people have been quoted (Or paid) for a similar sized family flying from Manchester.

Cheers in advance

Hi mvfoe23,

We have been on SCP last september and paid about £240 to upgrade for 2 adults. I havent flown from Manchester on SCP or with a family of four but in my opinion I think that is quite expensive because that works out about £350 each. We are going on the 27th September and have upgraded this time and paid a silly price of about £60 each but we booked last October and I think FC mucked up their prices that day!!

As you are going soon, your price might not change and it might be a risk as Premier seats may go but I think the £350 each is a bit much :)

Cheers Danielle,

I'm going to ring again to get an updated price of which since booking in January there have been many variations!
