    some lovely person must have a code that they dont need xxxxxxx
  • i went to the riviera bay in brixham last year and to be honest i thought they were very run down. in my opinion the chalets need to be knocked down and rebuilt.

    on the other hand i went to haven devon cliffs in exmouth and couldn't fault it. also went to butlins minehead at the begining of this month and it looks like they have refurbed many of the rooms and were still putting in new bathrooms/kitchens when we were there.

    Its been a few years since we went to Riviera Bay, some of the chalets were horrible, but we always payed for the higher band of chalets, pre wen we did sun tokens, like I say, its been taken over now, so I wouldnt know what its like. Butlins, we went once to Skegness, never ever again!! Wouldnt board my cat there!, and we were in a privately owned caravan-which was lovely, just only about a mile hike from the site-which was shocking!!

    I have just checked availability for the dates I want, direct with the site and they are full. So can I cross that off my list for the sun booking?

    i am only guessing this, but i would think that each park involved in the sun holidays promotion would allocate a certain amount of units to the sun holidays, meaning they would not show as bookable when you try and order direct with the park themselves, it does make you wonder, either the sun or the holiday companys must be taking a hit on these holidays, as most holiday parks especially in the current climate would surely be fully booked out especially in august, so to sell them for well under £100, when i bet if you book direct through the company would be over £300 for same break, makes you wonder why the holiday companies do it?, Dave
