the last post may have been in april but i just want to see that i just came back from the Holiday Village and it was very enjoyable!! Best suited for families with kids but the Royal suites private section was great for me and my best friend (the upgrade was worth every penny!!) the food was good, nothing to rave about and not a single person i met mentionned anything about being sick from the food!!!

hi just a quick question do the standard rooms have hair dryers if so are they any good!!

 

[CLOWE]

Hi Vic, yes the standard rooms do have hairdryers in, a few of our party said they werent very good though, the voltage isnt as high over here, i would say bring your own but they not be as powerfull as at home. xx

this sickness problem at hvgb has been going on for too long,we stayed in january and we all got ill along with lots and lots of other guest,many had to go to hospital. when we arrived back to uk my mother who was sick for the whole 2 weeks ,spent a month in hospital with e-coli , along with my daughter and myself we also paid a visit to a&e and was ill for a further 2 weeks. ive had holiday sickness before but never like that.......

also while we was there the maid in the toilets i watched her wipe the toilet bowls out then wipe the sinks with the same cloth!!! no wonder people are getting sick ...

Hi all, as far as this sickness thing goes, there has been a group of 23 of us out here for 3 weeks and not one of us has been ill or anyone else we know while weve been here. i feel sorry for anyone who has been ill but please dont start worrying that theres sickness here as its a load of **** January was a hell of a long time ago and they had only been open a month, all i can say is they certainly have changed it round, they are constantly cleaning, ive never known anywhere so clean.

So to all you lucky people who are coming here, have a fantastic holiday as we certainly have and we will be back next year so cant be that bad eh???

Departure Tax: on the FC website it says that this has been added to time of booking (in my brochure i know it states a date when this kicked in but its in my car, i'll have a look tomorrow!)

& What do men generally wear in the evenings to the resturants? Boyfriends a bit worried on what evening wear to take!

 

[xdaniellex]

Also, we wanna do the shark/sting ray encounter at ocean world, does this hotel offer this or we will have to book this with someone else?

 

[hodgesx]

I also read in the fc book that the departure tax was included in the price. Going on sunday and getting excited now as reviews are getting better and better xDaniellex i think you go the same time as me to hvgb ( im the hodges on holiday truths) so happy holidays when your there.

 

[Can2Dom]

xdaniellex - they have excursions from the hotel to ocean world that you can organize when you get there. Either through the hotel or you just hop in a taxi (very close to the hotel)

 

[xdaniellex]

Hodges: yeah thats right, we fly out on sunday .. really cant wait aswell, so happy with the reviews! & you have a happy holiday too.

Thanks Can2Dom for that information.

Danielle- buffet rest- he can wear anything he wants 3/4 trousers shorts etc.
Ala carte- long trousers only so just chuck a shirt and a pair of slacks in unless you plan a la carte a lot in which case a few shirts and some slacks.

 

[xdaniellex]

Thanks Signtalkerjo, much appreicated

 

[hodgesx]

Can someone tell me if there is a childrens section in the buffet rest my daughter is a fussy eater.
thanks

 

[xdaniellex]

I know that I ave asked this question before and got my answer! But men okay wearing jeans in a la carte resturants or is it trousers only?!

 

[Can2Dom]

Hodgesx - at the buffet there is a little kids section which usually offered french fries, onion rings, fish sticks, chicken nuggets, et.. and the ice cream bar of course. it's even low enough for kids to pick the food themselves.

xdaniellex - trousers! i dont think i even saw anyone there wearing jeans. its too hot! lol
