Title: Holiday Websites Post by: Chubbs on Tuesday, March 30, 2010, 10:39:40 Looking at booking a holiday for september and was just wondering what good sites are out there. If found loads but along with a well priced holiday i want a pleasant experience too. And ive read some reviews where people have been fucked over with over booking etc.
Looking at going to either Laganas, Zante or Malia, Crete. Also, has anyone ever used travelwasp before? Ive found an offer too good to be true, the same flights and hotel which everywhere else is around 400/450 All inclusive for £256 quid.

Their cheaper end accomodation is not too glamorous, but as with most things, you get what you pay for.
Service is good, haven't had any problems with them. This year, I'm going independant and using holiday lettings. Fingers crossed...... Title: Re: Holiday Websites Post by: LucienSanchez on Tuesday, March 30, 2010, 12:31:35 ebookers was pretty cheap for my Vegas jaunt

If that was for your Rhodes holiday you might be unlucky, Greece do not really have 5 star hotels (even though they state they are 5 stars) if you compare them to the standard of say Spanish hotels they are probably 3+ stars at best. For really good prices Chubbs go to lowcostholidays.com Title: Re: Holiday Websites Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Tuesday, March 30, 2010, 15:05:22 Yes it was Dell but it wasnt just the poor standard of the hotel - Also that it was situated at the end of the runway - when it was described as a 25 minute drive from the airport!!!

You were in Kremasti? I thought you booked a hotel in Ixia which is about 15-20 mins from the airport. Rodos town is only 25 minutes from the airport.

It took me 6 months to get a train fare back from Virgin but I did it. I got the traditional 'here's your cash, we don't admit anything, now fuck off' letter. It was all I ever wanted! :) Title: Re: Holiday Websites Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Tuesday, March 30, 2010, 15:46:32 hell yeah - Ive had the "sorry but your getting nothing" letter and the "sorry heres £25 each letter" hoping the "heres your money now bugger off and leave us alone" letter might be next

Remain polite and try to up the ante slightly each time. Once they realise you are not going to give up, they'll pay you off.

Provided its ABTA and ATOL registered you should be fine. Just check the hotel reviews on trip advisor before booking anything.
