...them. I have used Direct Holidays about 5 times and I have never been disappointed with the service I have received. They really do offer excellent value for money. When looking for a holiday I like to do a lot of research and shop around for the best deal, however each time no one can match the price I get from Direct Holidays. Actually the last holiday I booked I thought I'd try going into a Going Places Travel Agents to see if I could lower the ...

Review of direct holidays

...and I have booked with Direct Holidays. This isn't the first time I have traveled with them but the 5th. I have mainly visited lots of places in spain as its only a couple of hours away which is great with a 3 year old. So far most things have been good and fingers crossed they will be this time. Direct holidays is a company that makes the claim to cut out the middle man,with no agency to pay, therefore reducing the cost of your holidays. I would ...
...for the extras! In all direct holidays you get all this included in the price... (except flight suppliments) so no shocks when they present you with that final total. I have booked using 2 of the methods they offer, over the phone and in person in one of their shops. Using these I have found the sales people to be very polite, knowledgable and helpfull. I havent had any pressure to buy any holiday I am enquiring about or any follow up phone calss ...

Review of direct holidays

...book my holiday was with direct holidays as no one could beat or match the price they had given me for my holiday. I had never booked with them before and none of my friends and family had either but on the other hand I had not heard or read much bad information apart from the general moan about travel agents, I checked that they were ATOL protected which they were, so I gave them ago. Was it easy to book? Well yeah I had booked the whole holiday ...
...been quicker but I went through every page very slowly to ensure that I did not misspell anything or put the wrong digit in anywhere as I know this can be expensive to change. There are two ways you can book your holiday. If you know exactly what area you want to stay in you can search the hotel for avaiablity for the time you want to go – method 1. If you are unsure what area you want to stay in you can search the whole of that country/area – method ...

Review of direct holidays

...been to Menorca twice with Direct Holidays and we are going again this year, roll on summer - whoops there I go again wishing my life away! Check out free Children Places, our two are going for "nowt" this year, the savings £60 per adult and a fortune on the kids. The reps on the two resorts we have visited have been excellent and very knowledgeable, of course I suspect that we have been lucky, but maybe not. I hope you find the holiday that you ...

Review of direct holidays

Direct Holidays is a holiday company which takes the middle man- namely the travel agent out of the equation. after being let down by one holiday company, i noticed an advert on television, it said you could view and book via the internet. We had twelve weeks to go before our holiday. I logged on via the internet and found their web page very simple and easy to follow. Click on an area and view the accomodation. After deciding the accomodation- ...
...the nearest price to what direct holidays wanted was £700 more? Having not visited Benidorm I rang their Liverpool office and had all my queries sorted out. I booked over the internet and only had to pay £25 deposit per person and managed to get one child free. The confirmation arrived within the week. on arrival at Alicante we were quickly transferred to the resort. The next morning, the dreaded welcome meeting, but to our amazement it took 10 ...

Review of direct holidays

...no matter what. The Direct Holidays brochure came through my letter-box and I briefly browsed through it and then discarded it into my poffee along with all my other magazines/newspapers. Yesterday whilst out shopping me and the hubbie went and got a armful of brochures to look through. Having two children we thought our best option would be an all-inclusive break thus avoiding constant purse-dipping (hopefully). Going via the Internet I visited ...
...decided to just grab the Direct Holidays brochure to see if the hotel we were after was in there, it was. I took a virtual tour on their website of the hotel, had a choice of dates and flights and airports and started to go ahead with the booking. This was very straightforward and easy to do, I was amazed to find that their price was over £150 cheaper than the other tour operator's websites, plus they charge no flight supplements or extra for in-flight ...

Review of direct holidays

I've been a customer of Direct Holidays for about eight years. They were cheaper before being swallowed up by the Mytravel group. On the whole offer they still offer holidays at budget prices. A number of their accomodations I've stayed in have been a bit out of the way, like on the outskirts of main towns with no mentioin of this in the brochure. However there has normally been plenty around the complex in the way of shops/bars etc so not too ...
...ours, the local staff from Direct Holidays were nowhere in site. After we decided to walk into town (with no money) we found them sitting having coffee in a cafe half a mile away. To keep a long story short the experiance was a nightmare, compounded by young inexperienced reps shepherding us from pillar to post, and not really knowing what to do. The following year I went to Tunisia with them (right at the start of the Gulf War). As there had ...

Review of direct holidays

...as far as I'm aware Direct Holidays' insurance is just about as cheap as anywhere else. Everything seemed to go flawlessly from the booking of the tickets, arriving at the destination and the holiday itself. There was however a very dark-spot on our holiday experience, on the return journey just as we were about to take of there was a massive thunder storm. The power went out at the airport and after a 3 hour wait on the runway we were told to exit ...
...This being said, all other Direct Holidays staff were very helpful and friendly. When we returned I informed Direct holidays of these events and didn't even get my money back for the in-flight meals never mind compensation. The only up-side was the curry I bought when I finally arrived home was the best thing I ever tasted! ...

Review of direct holidays

...(in Menorca), we found that Direct Holidays were very informative and great value for money everything that was described in the brochure such as cost, food, entertainment, rooms etc were all described very well. We enjoyed the evening entertainment for our children, the hotel catered for all ages (my little boy, aged 3 still sings his holiday songs now!!!). We went half board, when we first booked the holiday we were slightly concerned as we have ...
...rep about having a courtesy room, they bent over backwards to get us a room at no extra charge, which was lovely. A great holiday overall. We enjoyed the holiday that much, that we have booked again through Direct Holidays for next year, although to a different country. ...

Review of direct holidays

...looked at various websites and Direct Holidays were by far the cheapest out of any I tried. I was quiet sceptical at the time as I had never heard of them. I booked on-line and sent for a brochure. It was easy to book on line and all the documents came through as promised, the booking confirmation and tickets. Everything went smoothly and the resort and accomodation was just as it said in the brochure. The Direct Holiday Reps were also really good ...
...home through no fault of Direct Holidays, but straight away they gave us sandwiches and drinks without anyone asking for them. We will definitely use them again. They are the cheapest as there is no travel agents fees to pay for but still keeping quality to the forefront. ...

Review of direct holidays

I booked a holiday with direct holidays to Gran Canaria, couldn't fault the telephone sales advisers were excellent, used to use the high street travel agents. The invoice and tickets arrived when they said it would. The holiday was great never been on holiday for two weeks self catering for that price, was expecting a hovel but the accommodation was as booked. Reps were there when they said they would be, we had no compalints. I then won a holiday ...
...timeshare and the accomodation was good. I've booked again with Direct Holidays to Spain as I now have a 21 month only daughter and I know that this holiday will be great. Miss out the middleman, try Direct Holidays for a short break, think you'll be pleasantly surprised. ...
