Libra Holidays

...week before departure just as Libra promised. The airline they use Excel is fabulous and the resort was absoluteley lovely. We diddnt see a brochure before booking but i went to our local travel agent and obtained a copy of Libra's winter sun brochure. The brochure said that the resort "Torremolinos Beach Club" had a main hotel then 74 apartments in the annexe, 5 pools, various sport activities, live entertainment every night and was suitable for ...
...tour operators Libra presented themselves at a very high standard. Libra were a tour operator that i had heard very bad things about but I must say that from start to finish they were great! They have quite a good website too which has the latest brochures online www.libraholidays.co.uk. ...

Review of Libra Holidays

...We booked a holiday with Libra over Christmas and New Year at the Laura Beach hotel in Coral Bay, Cyprus, and we had been eagerly looking forward to it. However, thanks to Libra we didn't get it, or indeed a holiday approaching anything remotely like it. Instead, Libra: Altered our flight times at the last minute causing us considerable extra expense and inconvenience, as we arrived back home a day later than we should have, and had to take an extra ...
...of apology or explanation from Libra over the way which we were treated; nor have they offered us even a penny in compensation - not even the £30.00 per person compensation their brochure promises to pay anybody without quibble if significant changes are made to their holiday arrangements at very short notice. In all the years we've travelled abroad we've never experienced anything like it, and we came home feeling like we needed a holiday, instead ...

Review of Libra Holidays

Libra Holidays, also known as Skyhols.com (Sky Holidays) - both the same company, and with probably a few more added in there besides! We've travelled with Sky Holidays before, not realising they were part of Libra Holidays, not that it makes any difference, just would be nice to know which company you are actually travelling with. What makes this group a touch better than the rest is that they include in-flight meals and resort transfers in their ...
...1 week's insurance. The Libra and Skyhols websites are easy to use - I only have a couple of personal criticisms- when you enter the date you want to travel, you get dates either side of your intended date come up in the display of holidays available; that's OK if you aren't fussy about your travel date, but if you need to be specific then it can be frustrating seeing a holiday and then realising its not for the date you wanted! When I first found ...

Review of Libra Holidays

Had our first holiday with Libra this year - free child place for 10-year old grandson, beautiful accommodation at Sandy Maria Apartments in Tsilivi, Zakynthos, and a friendly, knowledgeable, professional rep. Am impressed with the company overall really, they seem to be in cahoots with the Excel Airline which also gave us very good service and I have just now discovered their excellent Website (www.libraholidays.co.uk)which has the contents of their ...
...which show exactly where each hotel/apartment block is situated - obviously more useful if you know the resort but gives a good general idea of location. Have not used the site to book but it certainly looks as though that will be possible. They do feature special offers such as "two weeks for the price of one" on certain properties and, as with most of the smaller operators, their prices are very competitive and things like flight supplements are ...

Review of Libra Holidays

WARNING DO NOT BOOK WITH LIBRA HOLIDAYS Went to, Kos in greece with Libra holidays on the 6th of sept, but never again. XL airlines went bust was not told by Lbra holidays had to go to one of there offices to find out if we would get a flight home. Was given very little information and told to return to there office later in the day when they would have more information, this was sat the 13th. Was due to fly home on sunday the 14th at 6.30am. Was ...
...to the airport without a libra rep, left at the airport only to find out that our flight had been cancelled and we would be flying at 5.45 am with british midlands. The rep then turned up about 1am and told the few people who went and asked her that the plane coming in would hold 300 passengers and she didn't know if we would all fit and she didn't know what the rest of the passengers would do as there was not another flight until wednesday the 17th, ...

Review of Libra Holidays

...up travelling to Egypt with Libra by default, really - I wanted to visit this resort and they were the first tour operator offered to me. I stayed at the Hilton Hotel, Shark's Bay, which is a large hotel with it's own section of the beach. I travelled in a group of 5 women - a 'girlies' holiday, so we chose one of the top quality hotels from a safety aspect. The fortnight didn't get off to a very good start as a case belonging to one of our party ...
...Obviously, there was nothing the Libra Rep could do at that moment in time, but she promised to try and trace it for us. Four days went by before the case finally arrived at the hotel, but the Rep was excellent. The other tour operators told their people with lost luggage they had to collect it themselves from the airport, which involved a 15 minute taxi ride and a lot of messing about trying to get into the arrivals hall. And then their cases weren't ...

Review of Libra Holidays

...expect to get much but Libra holidays managed to get us a 1bedroom apartment for less than £600 all in. Our apartment was basic but large, airy and most importantly clean. Our resort rep was scheduled to visit twice a day 6 days of the week and she was there on time the day we needed to see her. Unfortunately her local knowledge was not as good as it could of been and she sent us to totally the wrong office for our car hire, to her credit though ...
...she had realised her mistake. Couch transfers were punctual and our 'welcome meeting' was given enroute to the resort which did save time having to attend on the first day of your holiday when all you want to do is hit the beach! A few excursions were available to book but not many and these were expensive with little discount for children. As we had a car hired thankfully we didn't need to book one. In short we wanted a budget holiday that gave ...

Review of Libra Holidays

Booked a short notice with Libra on recommendation from our agent. The accomodation although 2 star was adequate for a couple. The Libra Rep, Dan, was excellent by far the best rep we have come across. Was extremely professiinal when we broke down in our hire care in the mountains of Tenerife, organised our recovery and arranged for taxi to bring use back, he refunded the fare to us the following morning. We would certainly use Libra again, the ...

Review of Libra Holidays

A lovely holiday was let down by the return journey, there was no rep and only a tape to give us information, the bus driver got totally lost and once we got to the airport chucked us off the bus pronto into a chaotic situation where no-one knew what was going on, especially as our flight was delayed by 6 hours. There were only 2 reps for the one airport in Corfu, we had to track them down, and at one point ask an olympic holiday guide, as they were ...

Review of Libra Holidays

...to be able to book Libra on line now , you get a much better deal than in the shops. However i got a price on line for our last holiday, then asked Thomas Cook to match it and got a £20 discount. My partner & i travel to Egypt 2 to 4 times a year . We have used other tour ops but Libra are by far the best .Libra tend to use EXLCEL AIRWAYS OR AIRALANTA (which are the same.) AirAlanta have bigger aircraft,so seatinging is more comfortable , but the ...
...We have found Libra reps to be helpful when we have had problems , explaing thing fully and keeping us informed at all times. On our last holiday, a couple lost ther cases, which Libra found and made sure they were taken to hotel ASAP, but in the meantime they paid for transport to Naama bay so the couple could buy clothing to wear while waiting for their cases to arrive. I think the Libra rep really when out of her way to help this couple even though ...
