Club 18-30 reps-Never Again

Advantages: Escaping the complex, beaches, cheap food and drink
Disadvantages: Reps, chavs

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 ...
...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 ...

Goldtrail and Onurair

Advantages: Wont be using again apart from that there isnt any
Disadvantages: pathetic customer service overall

Well where do i start...... I don't believe there is one good thing to say about ether of these company. The reason i say this is because of the lack of customer service they have to offer.

Had Tvs on board the aircraft however where only used for Safety Demo before takeoff. Cabin crew spoke very little English. When we where ...

Disadvantages: small writing people cant see so good.make things clearer

...my point of view of Thomson Holidays,They have lots of good holidays to choice from and lots of deals and special offers.But i do advise you to check all the small print of your holidays as before you leave.Most holidays i had with Thomson Holidays was ok but could have been better.The accomadation we had was rather gruby and needed a good clean.And that was 4 star .The traveling to Greece was fine and transportation to the hotel was good.The lady ...

Review of Thomson Holidays

Shearings Tarbet Hotel

Advantages: Got to see alot of Scotland
Disadvantages: Poor customer service, uncomfortable seating.

Shearings have there good and bad points. First the bad. Don't book with Shearings if you want to go on holiday on a specific date. I booked a 5 day holiday to the Tarbet hotel in Scotland in February for the 21st of July for our silver wedding which was on the 23rd. I paid in full 8 weeks before departure and then 6 weeks before departure Shearings wrote to me saying they had to cancel the holiday due to lack of numbers. I could either have ...
...couldn't find anything else suitable and so had to go the week after. We were very annoyed to say the least and I had to change my holiday dates at work which didn't go down well. So just be aware, they can cancel your holiday anytime they like and just give you £10 compensation but if you cancel they can take 90% of your money. The holiday itself was good, we had a very helpful coach driver who had a great knowledge of the area. It is the first ...

Review of Shearings Coach Holidays

Horrible experience with hire car

Advantages: can use Tesco clubcard deal vouchers
Disadvantages: too many!

...to a minivan. The local Virgin Holidays manager promised to pay in full for the upgrade. This didnt happen and now we are back in the UK they are refusing to honour the promise. We're $500+ out of pocket. In fact they say its our fault for not booking a larger car!! Apparently 5 people should be able to live for 14 days with "3 or 4 small bags". We had 2 large, 1 medium, 1 small suitcases and a holdall. ie not even a suitcase per person. Their ...
