:lol: Just been reading a couple of the posts from earlier the Tropical in Turkey is getting ready to open as we speak me and hubby had a walk around it the day before we came home so that was Thursday, there is already afew people over there and there have been two weddings while we were there, the Pegasos was beginning to get really full so im presuming they are opening the Tropical earlier than they thought. Probably due to all us KABC people swapping over to there.

For the longest of times First Choice was reluctant to announce a new opening date for fear of people panicking, and affecting future bookings. With the BBC report, they went into damage control, and announced a new opening date. In effect they are trying to put out the fire. With that date they had to be certain it would be ready on time, for they know if it is not that would provoke more anxiety, and they would be adding gas to the fire. For that reason alone, I would not worry too much about the opening date. You cannot lie any more when you are in damage control.

Hi everyone,

I have been reading this site with growing horror and panic! This holiday is so important to me and my family! I'm not due to go until 12th August and I am worried about a couple of comments concerning the beach??? There is so much on this site and I didn't see the programme - is the beach really bad???

Can someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give me an update without reading the squillions of pages?? Am I better off trying to change?

Thanks!!!!!
Vicky :cry: :cry: :cry:

if you go to top of page and click on photo galleries and then click on page 5 stroll down to greece and then click onto the picture of 2 people under a sign, you will then see some photos of the beech as it was a month ago, and it had not changed on the bbc program , jump ship now and you dont have to pay a admin charge, but they will charge you more if your new holiday is more, we had to pay an extra £700, for our new holiday

Vickyo and JP the Red. i reckon you are better off waiting to see if the hotel does open as indicated on the first of july. Then we can report back the true state of it. I dont think you will have much trouble, JP, getting something else for the thirteenth september as most schools will be open by then. I STILL think the hotel will be open on time. My holiday was originally for the 28th June but was cancelled due to theopening date change. So we re-booked for the same hotel but for the fifth July. The last we heard, which was this week, is that some wotk had been done on the beach, although not loads as of yet.

I don't think people going to the kabc in august and september should have anything to worry about yet, like firebird said wait until at least July to see if it does open (yes it will) then if FC have got it wrong again look at alternatives. :?

Hi All

Well I was due to go to Kos Aqua Beach on Wednesday...but obviously not!!! Although I have so far received two sets of tickets for the Kos holiday...but none for my Cyprus holiday!!!
Reply
lisa what did fc say when you told them that you havnt got your tickets yet? that must be worrying for you?
someone else posted and said that they got tickets for the kabc even though they have changed holiday, they will have your tickets ready for you at the airport check in when you get there, they might upgrade you to firstclass for all the truble they have caused....
we are still going to kos on wednesday. same tickets and flight but different hotel
we still have tickets for the kabc to book in on the 24th maybe we should go for a laugh and try and check in, what do you think??? that would be fun, p.s. do you look like the girl out of charlie brown?
