Sun £9.50 Holidays Jan 2014 Code words

Comments

  • £9.50 x 4 x 2 = £76
    Service charge - maximum £10 per unit per night = £70
    Entertainment passes -maximum £10 per person per break = £80

    Sub-total £226.

    If you keep the linen, that will be roughly £40 per break, so £80.

    Total £306
    Can anyone tell me do we have to pay for gas and electric
    On top of the linen and passes at haven and Butlins if anyone know how much pls xxxx
    You don't pay for gas & electric. When your holiday letter comes through & says how much & when to pay just ring them up & tell them you don't want the linen. We do it every year & have never has a problem. You still get a duvet, you just need to take your own cover for it

    Oh and can I take my own linen x
    . You don't pay for gas & electric. When you get your confirmation letter through telling you how much & when to pay by just ring up butlins & tell them you don't want the linen. We do it every year & have never had a problem. You still get the duvets, you just need to take your own covers

    Yes it is... Skegness... Its £417 for the week direct...

    Done my calculations again this is what I work it out through the Sun.

    1st break: 4 @£15pp= £60
    4 passes @ £15pp= £60
    Service charge £11 per night =£44
    total for 1st break= £164

    2nd break: 4 @£15pp =£60
    4 passes @£15 pp =£60
    Sevice charge @£11 per night =£33
    Total for 2nd break = £153

    Total for week =£317

    Can anyone confirm my calculations are correct??

    Sorry for sounding a right dumbo,,:o:o

    Also do you have to have the service charge??

    I'm getting that week for a standard apartment as £397 direct using WITH LOVE (one word) promo code that is valid for this weekend only.

    Your calculations for the Sun promo don't include linen. Will be around another £70 - £80. I know you don't have to keep the linen, but just so that you are comparing apples with apples, as booking direct you will get the linen.

    Is this right?


    A week at Butlins in June for 4 = 8 x £15 = £120


    Plus Ents = 8 x £15 = another £120


    Service Charge= 11 x 7 = £77


    This is before you factor in linen and upgrades and food = £317


    This is correct, assuming half board isn't required. Then it's £623.25 !!!

    I cancel everything, I take my own linen and we never use the entertainment passes as the caravan is just a base for us, we go off early exploring and come back late.


    Absolutely gutted about Paul Walker - RIP xx
