Doing it the easy way?

Advantages: TR helped by re-booking everything when the flights were changed, twice
Disadvantages: Cheaper to book direct, hotel reservation failed, put right before travelling

...holiday in Funchal Madeira through Travel Republic. I found them on line and then wrapped things up on the telephone and hope that this account will be useful concerning my reasons for choosing an agency, and the experience of booking through this particular one

A friend of ours had a good stay in Madeira and, while on the spot, she kindly selected hotels which seemed suitable for the three of us. Upon her return she brought up the ...
...appear on three of the Travel Agents' lists. It was important that a using an agent or a direct booking would allow us to choose this main component

In comparison with several other agents' pages, Travel Republic's website proved to be a doddle. For example, and although the hotel itself clearly had what we wanted, one website would not or could not allow a booking for one double and one single occupancy room. Another would not permit ... more

www.TravelRepublic.co.uk Holiday Disaster (Read Small Print)

Advantages: 0208 so free to call off mobile minutes
Disadvantages: too much small print, slow responses, Using third parties

...my return i complained to travel republic, it took the company a month to realise that they could not open the email attachment i had sent them, however on each occasion i rang the company, the staff told me that the complaint was being processed, anyway i resent my complaint and waited another 30 days to receive responses from travel republics suppliers (As travel republic is only an agent, the company passes on your money to third parties who actually ...
...Travel republic still took their commission from the proceeds, to which i was extremely disappointed as i had not resided at the hotel. Since Travel republic uses the services of travel providers some of these companies dont even have a desk/information point at the arriving airport. Our rep could hardly speak english, when i asked him for help he became aggressive, i have raised this issue with travel republic, but they have not found out if the ...

Online Booking with Travel Republic

Advantages: Excellent Service
Disadvantages: When you can get through

...a holiday to Turkey with Travel Republic. I found the online booking much easier than sitting in a travel agents for over 3 hours (as I have before) or wasting time on the phone while the rep tries to sell you a completely different holiay to the one you want! I received my documents within 5 days, and all was fine. I then decided that we should have a bit of luxury and tried to upgrade our seats. I logged a service request on the website, and got ...
...make this change through the travel agent (i.e. Travel Republic). I thought this would be the start of endless to-ing and fro-ing, especially when after the third time of ringing them, Travel Republic's customer services line still hadn't answered after 20 minutes. However on the fourth try, I got through. I explained the issue to the girl who answered and was told she would have to speak to someone ele to find out why I couldn't book what I wanted. ...

BEWARE BOOKING WITH TRAVEL REPUBLIC

Advantages: NONE
Disadvantages: MANY - SEE REVIEW

...NOT BOOK A HOLIDAY WITH TRAVEL REPUBLIC. I am writing this because we’ve been through hell and I genuinely don’t want anyone else to experience what we have because of this awful company. I have been fighting for 5 months, trying to get compensation to no avail. We booked with TR due to them being the only travel company to have the particular hotel we wanted. We now no they didn’t have this hotel, but however, decided to take our money for it anyway. ...
...hotel and had informed the travel company! I’m confident that we wouldn’t have found out until we arrived had I not emailed them. Then, due to us booking a ‘tailor-made holiday’ they would only refund the accommodation. We had no time to find somewhere else, we were literally packed and ready to go and had to reluctantly take the alternative and pursue it upon our return. What you don’t realise is the amount of different companies TR use to book ...

Quick review of Travel Republic

I booked my holiday through Travel Republic, initially started my booking on-line but completed by phone only for my own personal queries. The consultant I conversed with couldn't have been more helpful, my tickets arrrived in plenty of time and all arrangements made through Travel Republic were spot - on!!! Painless and easy - would definitely reccommend. ...

Review of Travel Republic

Quick review of Travel Republic

We used Travel Republic for our last 2 holidays, booking a package of flights, accom and transfers. Hotel and flights were fine but transfers were an absolute rip-off. We booked a taxi transfer to include two child seats at £108. Of course, there were no child seats when we got there and all they did was put us in the queue in the taxi rank outside the airport where we had to wait for a taxi. Had we done this ourselves instead of booking the transfer through Travel Republic it would have cost 30 euros return! We're having no joy getting a refund for the car seats partly because the company travel republic used had passed the booking onto someone else, great! ...

Travelling to the Dominican Republic

Advantages: reasonably priced
Disadvantages: poverty

If you ever decide to travel to the Dominican Republic dont't do it the way I did which was to go un a standby flight, when you get there you will find that all the decent hotels are to expensive to stay at unless you had pre-booked an all inclusive holiday, so the only hotels that are reasonable are sub-standard no backup generators this is bad as they suffer from a lot of power cuts over there also the island is two tier the really rich and the really poor,my advice go all inclusive. ...

Review of General: Dominican Republic

cheap and cheerful but great

Advantages: cheap cheap cheap
Disadvantages: cost or renting cot

The hotel is on the main road that goes through santa susanna in costa brava spain.It took us an hour and half to get from the airport but we did have alot of drop offs to do on the way. I would advise getting a mini bus as your transfer rather than a coach as will get you there quicker. Also check (if you can) as to what time they are going to pick you up on your departure date as we got picked up at 2am for a 10:30am flight so were stuck at the airport for hours that was by bus. yet my sisters recently went back and booked a mini bus transfer through TRAVEL REPUBLIC and got picked up at 7am instead for the 10:30 flight which is much better especially if you have young children with you. The hotel is set over a number of levels so there are alot of steps but they also have lifts to get you to each level. The resturant is ...

Review of Santa Susana Resort, Santa Susanna

LTI ALFAMAR

Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: Too quiet for some

We stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks in July 2007. We had previously spent a week here in 1997 and remembered it as a comfortable, quiet and well-positioned hotel. Our memories were correct and in the intervening years the place had been improved with a new pool, better access to the beach, as well as a general freshening up (it is probably 30 years old). On our latest visit we booked half-board, land view room. The rooms are very acceptable. Most of the rooms are linked by walkways around a 6-floor high inside atrium which give a great feeling of openness when seated in public areas. We actually got a very good deal through Travel Republic so we were already feeling good about the place. We are not sports minded and as this hotel is marketed as a sports resort I think anyone looking for modern. high-tech facilities would be ...
