So here we go.Looked at all the various flights and for our dates 04/03/2008 and we want to upgrade looks like First Choice are our only option.My Travel no upgrades on that date and Thomsons Manchester flight goes via Birmingham which adds time to the journey.We will not mention the other unmentionable flight.
Limited in choice as Nizmar is now All Inclusive.Looks like they no longer do HBR so looking at either Palmarinha or Osbourne.Bit worried about how far from the action and beach Palmarhina is although would consider hiring a bike.
So once again kind people HEEEEEELP
Have you tried Silver Sands?
We stayed in their superior rooms this year, and we have booked again for next year. The last time I looked on first choice there was still availability. First Choice flights are good, and so was the accomodation.

Great.Just looked at FC website and Silver Sands no longer available so my former question stands.

The Palmarina is set inland and you would need to get taxis to the beach etc. The Osbourne is much closer between Calangute and Candolim so you would get the best of both resorts.
Paxrax we are going with Direct Holidays and yes there are a lot of good deals on at the moment, but they don't fly with First Choice, our flight is with MyTravel.

Hi Papa
First choice had a big dispute with Highland Beach Resort last year, some friends of ours booked to stay there last November and when they arrived in Goa where shipped out to the Sun Village with all kinds of excuses that the hotel had been on fire the pools had been drained and health and safety wasn't up to standard, it was all rubbish as our friends soon found out when they went down to the HBR and where told that their room was ready and waiting for them and there was no problem at all, goodness knows what it was all about, I thought it had all been sorted out, obviously not.

mmmmmmm.Conspiracy abounds
Got a holiday sale brochure from First Choice in the post this morning and the Highland Beach was in it prices were from £599 per person for 14 nights the Palmarina was also featured with prices from £528 for 14 nights that's flying from Manchester or East Midlands. So they must have resolved their dispute with the HBR.

Thats it Folks.Gotta leave and check FCs website.See you later.
Back again.Just checked FCs website and HBR not on it.They very kindly provide a premium rate phone number to call so I pay them to give me information about a product they are selling so........as I do not phone these numbers on principal I guess its back to the drawing board. 
Yes I always use that site but companies are becoming ever nore devious in their efforts to rip us off.As I have ranted about this before and do not want a wrist slapping off Fiona for going off topic I will leave it there.I am now investigating the whole visa thing and my plans for Goa are now in Doubt.Looks like a real pain to get a visa now and do not know wether I can be bothered with all the hassle.Sorry drifting off topic again.
