Tips for Neilson holiday prices?

tightasagnats

I want to book Neilson holiday for 2 people at any resort that offers tennis next May or early June. All but one does. I've been advised that the prices fluctuate a great deal - and I went 4 years ago and met someone who had paid half of what we did, via Voyage Privy.

Does anyone have experience of booking with Neilson and tips for resorts or dates when prices may drop? Presently it's £700-£900 per person for a week for May/June, which is more than we can afford. We were hoping for around £500-600pp.

I'll keep my eye out on Voyage Privy, but if anyone has useful info I'd be grateful.

Is that the quite literally !!!! version of Voyage Prive?

Is tennis exclusive to tour operators? If not just book a DIY trip.

Ha ha typo yes, prive not privy.

Tennis hols you can DIY but you then have to find a tennis club, unless you only want to play with your travel buddy, we like meeting new folks who like to play, and do other sports as well.

If you are flexible on which Neilson club you go to in May/June, I would start to track prices at -12weeks out with a view to finding a deal -10 weeks to -6 weeks out. The first couple of weeks of May will likely be cheapest but of course in many European resorts you may have rainy days.

Thanks for the info

we booked for May 19. We were taken by an early booking offer which ended on the 1 Oct. I say taken, and we certainly were taken, as mugs. The price is now virtually the same as when we booked (now with no razmataz and repeated emails with countdown clocks about expiring offers. )
I’ve contacted the company about false advertising but they say it’s all ok according to their terms and conditions...
