you have picked a great hotel,it has everything including a quiet location that you need,not sure if they let you book direct tho,we have visited a number of times without actually staying there and have always been made welcome.The kids slides are top class and staff friendly,its a huge complex tho.

Hi Stew,

Thanks, yes you can book direct, I've already had a few emails back and forward since about September last year. I've to email again in February as they won't accept a booking until then. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't somewhere else that I was missing before I booked.

Thanks for your reply.

Catherine

hello, really pleased to see your opinion of Antique Palace as we are visiting there in july and didn't know much about the complex.

Thank you

ps any tips for decent car hire nearby to there?

what date you going Sandra? We're off 29th June, back on 13th July.

Well hello Catherine hunny - how are you??? Im gonna miss you again this year - we dont go till the 8th August!!

We stayed in AP in 06 i think it was - i put my review on here. It was ok - you should be alright as not going in english school hols - we went in the august and twas packed!!

We popped up there a couple of times last year as Jimmys pal now heads up the bar up there- and the woman in the hairdressers does a mean pedicure. If your still having difficulty getting hold of them i can get Jimmy to call Emrah? But most probably they wont be back in he hotel until next month at the earliest.

The only other hotels i can think of are Excelsior, Julian, Anastacia, Alize - these are proably pricier and dont know if you can book direct

Cheers

LA

Pam i tried to book the Atrium direct last year for some family members - all they could give me was rooms in the Melay - All the Atrium aparts were contracted out to Thomas cook. As the Melay is a hotel - this was no good. Did you get a direct apart with them this year? My dd loves it there as im sure would catherines wee boy

Hope you have a fab time

Hi Leighanne,

Just noticed your reply to me on here. I've sent you a few messages on facebook asking how you were not so long ago.

Still no reply from AP yet, but the guy I was dealing with Dudu, did say Feb sometime. We now have a shortlist though in the following order;

Club Aida (depending on interconnecting rooms or two bed apt)
Club Portobello (depending on price/availability)
Antique Palace

I too would have liked to book Club Atrium direct too, also the Melay didn't suit us either. I remember how much fun your dd and my ds had in the play area in Bar Havana. Can you believe that was nearly four years ago!

How are you anyway? Drop me a pm!

hi LA

no i didnt get apps there we had to go to the melay but it was cheap and all the fascilities are the same. it only sost me about 1200 for all of us.
we do normally like an app too but im sure we`ll enjoy it, there is 14 of us going for my 40th.
