Holiday Village Resort

[darwenlass]

thanks for that planner,
have you any idea what the family rooms will be like??
when we booked it said 2 single beds now it says bunkbeds, any idea of which it will be so the boys can get sorted before they go.

Sorry, I have no idea but I will try to find out for you.

Opening of Holiday Village Golden Beach

Hi Planner,

Today is the opening of Holiday Village Golden Beach, can you get some photos of inside the resort? I think many peoples want to get to know the finish look of the resort, like the lobby, reception, buffet resturant and rooms. I checked your photos of the pool, it was great, but I have no idea what it looks like inside the resort. Thank you

Wonderland

Anyone Travelling With Kids New Years Eve

Planner, Thanks For All Your Help. We Travel To The Dr On The 31st Dec For 2 Weeks, 2 Adults, 2 Boys, 2 Girls, 14,11 And 13 And 9 Respectively. Is There Anybody Else Travelling With Kids At The Same Time?

I must say the holiday village golden beach looks fantastic based on the brochures and some of the photos of the redevelopment. 1 month to go cant wait! Hi Planner what are the best trips to go on. I was thinking of going to Santo Domingo on a day trip - is it a long journey? what do you recommend

 

[planner]

HI everyone. I will try to get some more photos for you of the interior. Let's see what I can come up with today.

Trips: depends what you like, who you are travelling with and how long you are here.

Santo Domingo is a 4 hour drive from the north coast. If you are here for 2weeks then this might be worth it for you. If one week, I wouldn't recommend it. Get out and see the north coast first. It is stunning - there is lots to see from Playa Grande on the east to Luperon on the west. (2 hours east and 1 hour west - more or less)

We have safari type tours, catamaran tours, Ocean World, hiking, biking, city tours, etc etc. Do some searches of the web and take a look at what is available.

Everyone remember to bring down some school supplies for the kids. This is my new personal mantra.....LOL This is an easy way for you to give back to the community. No room in your suitcase - we can spend your cash here too... don't bring paper - too heavy. Bring pencils, pens, erasers, coloured pencils, stencils, stickers and anything else you can think of!

family room

was just wondering if anyone can describe the family room set up at the Holiday Villiage Resort. I have a one year old that I will have to get off by himself...if he sees the rest of us he will never go to sleep. Is the room actually divided? If not, are the bathrooms large enough to accomodate a playpen? Also, does the hotel provide a playpen or a crib?

Thank you so much to anyone that can shed some light!

More info to follow tomorrow, I am doing a tour of the resort!

[thekidsdad]

We arrive on Xmas day and cannot wait.

Really looking forward to it. 2 kids aged 4 & 6. Couldn't get a family room as they were all booked so hope the standard rooms are OK.

 

[Spire2000]

We're arriving on the 21st of Dec. Waiting with baited breath on the report from Planner.

BTW, does anyone have a link to a good webcam for the beach area of Puerto Plata? Would like to get something for computer at work to while away the next couple of weeks!

 

[planner]

Sorry for the delay everyone. A couple of things interfered. I am scheduled for a full tour of the resort late tomorrow morning with the manager. I will have pictures and details posted later on tomorrow. I will get some beach shots for you as well that you can download if you like.....

Until tomorrow everyone......
