We are not thinking of going until next year possibly as late as october, we choose to have a new kitchen fitted instead of holiday which i deeply regret now, but at least we will have lots of reviews for it by then but i cant see me changing my mind about the place no matter what, the only thing i'm not looking forward to is the flight especially as i have a 5 year old.

My daughter will actually be 6 by then also, so at least she may find a boyfriend now her age ha ha :lol: :lol: :lol: . The price wasn't to bad at all the same as we paid to go to the majorca village, and i know where i would rather be. We have left it until my daughter is 6 as we wanted to swim with the dolphins and she had to be 6 for this (so i was told) rather then me and my husband having to do it seperate we can do it all together.

Have booked today to go 22 July 2007. Just got back from Cuba and have now got the bug for the Caribbean. Seems better value than Europe.

We have booked with FC - got an excellent deal with them and have paid to up grade the seats - well worth the money.

Have been to the HV in Costa del Sol - went about 6 weeks after it opened and if the facilities at this one are along the same lines, it will be bliss. My 11 year old cannot wait to get there!!!

hi hichelle,
have you tryed eclispe direct. for 2kid 2 adults 3165 from manchester or 3kids 2 adults 3880 or 3434 if you go a week later. i put in manchester as i didnt know which airport you would use.
i got my price of the web then i rang the travel agents to see who would match it. (coop travel care does)
might be worth a try.

Hi the trouble is the age of my children ive a 15 yr old who is classed as an adult so im looking at 3 adults 2 children which means 2 rooms hence my 11 yr old having to pay an adult price too (must have two adults paying in a room) so in fact im looking at 4 adults 1 child - ridiculous when will tour operators realise that children are children until they become adults at 18. Anyway no wedding license no wedding so holiday village has to be off the list at the mo.

MIchelle,

As a fellow Essex girl, I can higly recommend Cuba. We stayed at the Brisas del Caribe, Varadero (have done a review) and two weddings took place whilst we were there. The flowers and where the weddings were held was lovely. Another nice hotel in Varadero was the Tryp Penninsula. Both First Choice/Eclipse feature these hotels.
