Formerly the Atlantca hotel and Gardens.
We booked to go here in may 2007 and I have just been informed it is closed for a refurb and will hopefully be open the beginning of May.
Well I hope so as that is when we are going.
We were not told this when we booked. What happens if it's not finished, will we be offered another hotel.
Help Please.
will we be offered another hotel
May is not the busiest time in Cyprus so the answer is almost certainly "Yes"

I'll leave it for a few days though, it being new year and all.
If you are staying in one of the apartments you will be OK, as there is a very nice separate pool and pool bar across the road from the hotel complex. However I can't see the hotel being ready for May. There is also a truckers strike on at the moment and little or no concrete is being delivered to building sites.
I took a couple of photos if you want to send me a pm I will let you have them.

A visit to the TA me thinks.
Cazz... this may be of interest:
After Carols reply, I'm having my doubts as if it will be open by May 1st
If it does get finished in time, it sounds like the pool area is gonna be great. Fingers crossed
I am a rep in Limassol and we have the Atlantica Oasis blocked for bookings until June though the Atlantica Gardens is business as usual.
Check again with your TO and have a look at the Terms & Conditions in their brochure or on the net. They should either give you the opportunity to transfer to another accomodation of the same spec or cancel without penalty.

I've contacted Dawson N Sanderson, who we booked with and she phoned Thomson's who told her that everything will be finished by 15th May!!
I don't want to take that chance, so she is trying to get the change over fee waivered for us. We are now writing a letter of complaint direct to Thomson. I'll let you know how we get along.
Thanks.
I really hope that it is finished in time for you but having been down that way recently I am not convinced. It was as carolh says in her post of 19th Jan. A real mess and the truckers strike is not helping.
I have seen this happen before with my own company when folks have gone to hotels that were not quite finished and very unhappy they were too and rightly so. (Building works still ongoing, facilities not available etc etc)
Its possible that they will try to make you pay for any changes as they are assuring you it will be ready but keep at em. I wouldn't like to take the chance either.
If you do end up going, before you go make a note of every phone call either you or your travel agent have made. Try to get names of who you/they have spoken to.
If it is not finished when you get there, document every single thing, take photos and make an official report to your rep in the first day or so and follow it up on your return.

well I've decided I want my holiday changed so gonna contact D&S in the morning, see what they can do. I'm really fed up with Thomson. I've said never again in the past, but after this holiday...........I MEAN IT
It won't be Cyprus this year I'm afraid. Back to Spain because of holiday's at work and availabilty. Next year deffo.
just booked for july
Some building work has started - I'll keep you informed!
Although we have now changed holidays, just incase
my wife and i stayed in this hotel three years ago , and it was brilliant then , any alterations or upgrade must only make it better.
HELP!
Could someone give me an update in regards to this hotel?? We are supposed to be going in June and am getting worried it wont be finished. We were not told at the time of booking that this hotel was closed, if we had known would not have booked!
Thanks
I took some photos two weeks ago for someone else in the same position. If you send me a pm with your email I will send them to you.
Apparently Thomsons are saying it will be ready and will not transfer anyone's holidays free of charge.
The whole area is a building site!
Sorry it is not better news, but it is best to know now and get something sorted out before you come!
We are booking to go to Cyprus next year into a hotel that is only three years old, so hopefully there will be no building work this time.
AND NOT WITH THOMSON
