Hi all,

Managed to book a stay at Haven Quay West last night for March.

I paid to upgrade to a luxury plus caravan, looking on the Haven site they offer Standard, Standard+, Superior, Deluxe, Deluxe+, Prestige & Platinum.

Does anybody know what a luxury plus upgrade corresponds to at Haven?

Thanks David

Yes, it's superior. I enquired a while back as I am going to Haven Devon Cliffs in the May back hols week and I upgraded to luxury, and when I asked, they said it was 'Superior'.

Actually.... on reflection, if you did Luxury+ It might be a Deluxe.... You can always call the park and ask. Is there a difference between luxury and luxury+?, I think I saw something briefly last night as I have booked Haven Rockley Park for November, but being tight as this is my 4th break this year, I stuck to standard. LOL.

Thanks for that, we have upgraded to a luxury plus so I guess that is Deluxe. I will give Haven a ring when we get the confirmation to double check, we have a 6 month old son so was hoping for a caravan with heating in the bedrooms.

We have always gone standard in the past but thought we'd push the boat out this year having a little one accompanying us for the first time!

I don't blame you. We have always been lucky, but we are pushing the boat out this Easter, we paid privately to go to Dorset with Parkdean and it's cost a pretty penny, but we went luxury so we could have central heating and double glazing for 7 days. I do love the sun hols though, we have never had a bad one. Always stuck to Parkdean or Haven though, but may try a park resorts next time. I have just been advised to always stay well clear of Pontins.

For the price you pay via The Sun, it's actually pretty good to be honest. You don't have central heating, just warm air heaters but you do have a gas fire in the lounge area. Some parks don't offer a microwave but to be honest, we have always had one with Parkdean, so I think they can differ depending on where you go. Overall though, they are not bad, but if you want better you pay the extra for it... Still a bargain though, especially if you get a bank hols week or half term (if you have kids).

Thanks to everyone. I booked Hafan y mor last night app 6pm Apr 9th,our Son's 8th Birthday, no upgrade left so chose standard, I'm hoping to ring them direct to ask to upgrade,and make sure my booking is secure this year. Does anyone know if we'll get a chalet or caravan? I need to be brave and ring and ask these questions, but I'm worried if they ask how I was able to book a day early! please be aware last year I booked Hafan y mor, paid for the upgrade, they called me app 1 month later to say they had over booked by 150 places! I couldn't say I booked a day early but was given the option of another park or date, I chose a park in Rhyl. Has anyone else had this problem? I know I've taken a risk but we want to go there as I'ts only an 1hr drive, ideal when the family get car sick! The pool looks great too. Need to pluck up courage to ring, will let you know how much upgrade costs direct as only paid £4 pp and £14 linen hire and beds made up on arrival through sun last year. looked on haven and should be £20 upgrade and £10 linen hire for 2 rooms and £10 for beds made up on arrival, so £10 more but still a big saving. Good luck, hope you all get the holidays you want.:j
