Advantages: Variety of ways to book Disadvantages: Poor website
...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 ...

Advantages: Quick and easy to book holidays Disadvantages: Prices go up and down
...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 ...

Advantages: No Middle man, easy, easy and less I forget easy. Good value. Disadvantages: Limited Choice
...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 ...

Advantages: internet booking, cheaper prices in all inclusive Disadvantages: maybe not having face to face contact when booking holiday
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- ...

...be going 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 ...

Advantages: Cheap, fast service Disadvantages: some accomodation bit out of the way
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 ...

Advantages: No middle-man, wide variety of destinations. Disadvantages: Poor service from company & reps!! BEWARE!!!
...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 ...

Advantages: cheaper than other leading operators Disadvantages: limited number of 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 ...

...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 ...

Advantages: Cheap, good Quality, Helpful Disadvantages: None
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 ...
