DamanC Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Myself and the partner in crime have decided we need a weeks getaway somewhere hot. With all this talk of airlines going belly up its got me slightly suspicious. I know XL went and took a long walk, but who else? Any online recommendations for places to hunt online?

jon5698 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Not sure who to recomend mate but i would pay for it on your credit card when you do book up so if things go tits up you have insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcgoo Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Me and the missus were thinking the same thing. We wanted a holiday in the next month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I would stay away from first choice, purely based on absolutely disgusting service received!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caliAl Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Not sure who to recomend mate but i would pay for it on your credit card when you do book up so if things go tits up you have insurance. Also check for ATOL protection and take out holiday insurance as soon as you book it, so you have insurance against cancelation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BASHTHEBISHOP Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 good luck getting a decent price as the prices have gone mad since XL went bust due to everyone rebooking elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy W Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I'm just back from here last week - http://www.baiahotels.com/listingview.php?listingID=4 Really relaxing and the views were awesome. We went through first choice, and like Graham said the service was a bit poor, the only time we haven't went with Thompson. (Although I think they now own First Choice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 We normally use FC. The service can be poor, but it's made up for by supplying really good hotels through the Iberostar range. Done Cuba with them, Iberostar Varadero. Doing Dom Rep Bajahibe Iberostar soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done Cuba with them, Iberostar Varadero. Doing Dom Rep Bajahibe Iberostar soon. You cant beat the Iberostar or RIU chain of Hotels. Been doing them for a few years now in Dom Rep, Cuba, Mexico. Off to a RIU in Mexico in 3 weeks. We'v never had any probs with First Choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
