    We went by car and ferry from Dover using tesco vouchers..It was about a 3 hour drive from Calais to the site and that's with a stop for a drink..There was 2 routes to get there and it's easier to go around the outskirts of Paris through small towns then hit the Paris area.(It was quicker too)You come off the motorway when you get near the airport..charles de gaulle I think...It was a nightmare when we arrived at 5pm ish on the friday..On the way back we went another way and was much quicker with no traffic..If you need any more info I will ask my hubby when he gets in on the route we came back..
    Hope it helps!

    Depends on where you go, all haven sites include pool, activities and access to the club and entertainment with the fee and nothing extra to pay, of course you dont need to get the passes if you dont require them and even tho the min booking is for 4 people you only have to buy the exact number you need eg. 2

    Haven Devon cliffs dosent include all that (when booked on a £9.50 hol) with no entertainment pass - you needed to present it to get into the building where the pool, entertainment, bars, arcade etc were located so without a pass not much on site to do, however if you book with Haven it is all included

    Sorry i probably didnt make myself clear, if you get the entertainment pass thats all you have to pay with Haven, some sites on the Sun Holidays the entertainment pass only gets you into the complex and charge extra for the pool.

    Hi, anyone got Tuesdays code please? :)
  • If it's your first time collecting you need 7 tokens. If you have used them beforeand therefore received a priority booking form you only need 6. Therefore you will be able to post your choices day before and have a slightly better chance of having your option granted. I've used these deals 2 or 3 times a year for the last 10 years!

    Also if you have a priority booking form it says you can book online as soon as you have the codes so you don't have to send off and wait..
