Bit of advice on setting up something?

Powerchairs tend to be larger and have a bigger turning circle.

Thanks for that, I know the doorways are wide enough and I will be visiting my local mobility centre to check the turning circles but I dont see that being an issue.

It looks lovely...I bet it costs a fortune, and the people who would benefit the most from it won't be able to afford it.

Hi Zara33,
You may be surprised as its not much more than a normal all inclusive holiday at a hotel, when you add all the activities and the care provided then it is actually quite a good deal. It is just a shame about the exchange rate at the moment as this time last year the prices would be far more attractive.

The fact that you don't put the prices (even guideline amounts) atomatically makes me think 'expensive' - same with POA with houses etc. I want to know if it's in my budget or not, if it doesn't tell me I look elsewhere.

A lot of people won't take the time to contact you unless you give them some idea.

Prices start from £650 but it all depends on when and where guests are flying from as there can be a massive difference in the cost of flights. The other factor is the level of care required.

Prices were on the site until tonight but I have made some major changes to the whole site. I have some figures to go over then will be putting them back on tomorrow, but as above prices start from £650 which includes flights, transfers, accomodation, food and soft drinks and all the activities on site.

I'm a cynical person, but I just wanted to say that I adore what you're doing here.

One question - who are you using to provide flights, and is there someone at the UK end to help them with any problems that they may have?

Hi PolishBigSpender,

Thank you for your input, the site looks alot better now, and there are still improvements to come. I have been very busy lately making arrangements as alot of bookings and enquiries are coming in.

Regarding flights - it depends on the departure airport. We are mainly using BMI, but we are in talks at the moment with a few airlines to see what they can offer. We do have people who can help depending again on the departure airport. It is something we can do but I dont want to add any more costs (I can cover the southwest and I have people who can cover the midlands and scotland. The problem is if we have 40 guests flying out from different airports I will have to employ people to help at the departure point which will add to the holiday cost so I think it will have to be an optional extra for the time being.

Regards

Would it be possible to the package but not the flights?? The only reason I ask is that we find it best for us to fly from one airport "East midlands" even thought Birmingham is much closer. We have found over the years that EM airport our DD remains much calmer yet at Birmingham she really does not like for what reason I havent managed to pin point as of yet. So by booking our own flights we have more control over time etc just a thought

That seems expensive we have just had an all inclusive(inc alcohol)in tenerife for under £300 each and the facilities were wheelchair user friendly.

That is a good price. When did you book? I have checked all inclusive deals in the Malaga area and the start at around £500 and they are hotels. The meals are buffet style and the only activities are the pool and entertainment.

We have a large selection of activities and all the food is cooked to order. The only buffet type meal is when we have a barbeque outside and there is a selection of salads etc. We have the only resort that I know of with a range of activities onsite included in the cost. The biggest issue we are finding is he cost of the flights as they vary a great deal.
