I have found that although the Sun £9.50 holidays can offer a cheap break you need to look very carefully through the
paperwork. It is very advisable to read all the small print. The extras soon mount up, don`t get me wrong I have been
on one of these holidays and it was great, the park I chose made the break good value.
I did a price comparison based on 6 people sharing at Haven`s Kessingland Beach in Suffolk. The Sun`s price at
£9.50 per person is £57.00 they then strongly advise that you use their insurance at the cost of £8.50. Now you have
to take into account that with a Sun holiday you have to pay extra for gas/electricity which at this park is £3.75 per
night, so for a 4 night break that is another £15.00. Low and behold the clubroom passes are £2.00 per person per
break, for 6 people that`s £12.00. The total so far is £92.50.
If you obtain a Haven catalogue the same holiday in a 7 berth caravan is £94.00 but this includes unlimited
gas/electricity, the clubroom passes and also all the bedlinen which on my previous Sun holiday I had to pay another
£10.00 or take my own (I took my own).
The other problem I have found is that although the insurance is not compulsary I have never suceeded in booking a
Sun holiday without it. If you book a holiday with Haven you know that you have your holiday booked at your
chosen site, there is no guarantee that you will get a holiday with the Sun from your 4 choices.
My opinion is that if you are looking to book a cheap holiday, shop around, research all the possibilities, and above all
have a great time.
