Booked a holiday to Malia via Thomas Cook/18-30 and the reps were a nightmare. Got to our apartment complex at around 2 in the morning with about 15 other people and they split us into 2 groups to show us to our apartments. Whilst the first group went off on their tour, the rest of us were left standing for well over an hour, and when they did come to direct my party to our room, it was literally only a three minute process. This is when my hatred for 18-30 was born. The next morning they ordered us to attend an early meeting, claiming it was madatory-otherwise our tickets back would not be validated or some b*llshit like that. The meeting in actual fact was just for booking their overpriced excursions and them not taking no for an answer. We booked one 35E trip to the waterpark and weren't too happy when we saw independant excursions to the waterpark being advertised on the high street for 10E less. We drew the line at this trip and said we couldn't afford the 60E 'booze' cruise-to which one of the reps suggested that we contact our friends and family back home to transfer the money into our accounts. They are literally this money hungry.
The cherry on the cake was when our room got flooded- to which thee owners of the apartments kindly relocated us to another room free of charge and said that it was ours for the rest of our stay. We moved all our clothes, suitcases, food etc. to the new apartment and the next morning the reps came up to us, demanding that we return to our old room now that the flooding had been fixed. Needless to say we were extremely pissed off upon hearing this as all the rooms were pretty much the same and there was no point whatsoever in us lugging all our stuff back to the old apartment. We managed to play them at their own game however, as we avoided them for the rest of the holiday by going out for the day so they couldn't bother us, and so we stayed in the apartment for the rest of the holiday.
Unless you're a person with no class, it's worth saving up a lot to go on a decent re-free holiday where you aren't ordered around and spoken down to like you're a child. They think they own the place and don't give two shits about you unless you're feeding money into their greedy pockets.
