    Was going to book this with Thomson today but all rooms have now gone so help urgently needed! We had our heart set on this hotel because of trip advisor reviews and also the small children pool had lots of slides, pirate ship etc for kids.
    Had a look at the viva hotels these look nice if anyone can help?

  • If you have a problem, can't you just remove the charge on your Credit card?

    I booked this year with a site I hadn't used before at a price that when it got to my CC was almost 400 higher than I had booked! (I used online banking and saw the charge almost immediately). Called credit card co and they suggested I first talk to the seller. By the way, CC charge was to Transat, not the website, I felt safer. UNtil I called transat too... they said too bad for you, that was the price!! Anyway, a short email and a week later, got a cheque from the website for the diff between booked and charged. All is well... but I could have reversed the original credit card charge... I think.

    I know this is already really reasonable for AI, but money is very tight, any improvement on price for this or something similar would be great. Dates can be changed too...kids off school from June 30th, returning on 15th Aug. Thank you, Fiona.
