any truth in the rummour that the essie wont be opened this season ?
due to it being refurbished to mak it into a 4*

It will re-open soon after the refurb. Unsure as to what has been done and what the new prices will be. A few of the old staff will be there. Here is the new website but the English section is not working yet.

Hi, found your forum while looking ahead to my holiday. We are going here at the end of August and am now a little worried about the hotel being open. Will it be open in time? What are they doing to the hotel?

I did a search through the website posted above and it found no rooms for the dates the we are going.

Full refurb and supposed to be open for start of the season. I do not know if they are schedule. Will try and find out.

Thanks very much. I'll tell the girlfriend and her mum not to worry about it then. Looking forward to a refurbed hotel now, we went 5 years ago and were just expecting the same again.

Neil.... the Ezzy will reopen this week on Friday 10th May

Thanks, good to know it's opening. Just need to wait for reviews and photos from other that are staying there.
