    Looks fantastic http://www.herathera.com/index.htm hope you have a fantastic time

    This might be usefull to e-mail them for a nice room http://www.herathera.com/herathera%203%205%202007%20(colour).pdf

    email who?! First Choice? they said there's no choice of room, but we may upgradewhen we get to the island if we can. People advise doing it when you are there as its cheaper than through FC.

    use the resort plan and email the resort and say which block you want to be in. It seems all rooms are waters edge just some have a jacuzzi
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel
  • oh right, yeh unfortunately, to have a jacuzzi would cost an extra £600 through First Choice!!!
    I reckon we will talk to the manager there and see if he will upgrade us, apparantly it works out cheaper this way.
    Either that, of befriend some people who have a jacuzzi!

    That said, we watched a video of the resort and the rooms with a jacuzzi, the jacuzzi takes up most of your "back garden" type area, so the sun loungers have to be right next to each other.
    In the non-jacuzzi rooms, theres alot more space.

    Outside showers :D

    whats worked for me in the past is to pick an area that is all the type of rooms you want and ask for a room in those numbers;) your not asking for an upgrade that way your asking for a room number 310 looks good ;)Just say you have been told its a nice room and would it be possible to have that room you never know it might work
    Dont ask for a free upgrade just ask for a room ...lol

  • i like it!
    I've emailed the resort asking them and will see what happens!
    I couldnt say the room has been recommended though, as no one has stayed there yet!!
    I will have to wait until later on in the year to do that!
