Sun Holidays from £9.50pp January 2022

Marvel1

Just checked the site for weekend dates for September for my destination and there are none, only Monday to Friday.

I did a check for another park just for testing purposes and they offer weekend dates.

Guess I will leave it this year.

The dates listed on the Club £9.50 website are where the park prices vary from the new Plan A or Plan B pricing structure, not a list of what hols going to be available at that site.

Band A in the new pricing has September 12, 19 and 26 priced at £9.50, and September 9, 16 & 23 at £19.50, however, the park you want to attend appears to have opted to charge £19.50 pp for all those dates (these price variations should be printed under it's listing in yesterdays newspaper pullout).  So September 12,19 and 26 vary from the Plan A template because they will be charging £19.50 for those dates, not £9.50, but September 9, 16, 23 remain priced £19.50 so are not included in the list above.

This new system was supposed to be easier to understand, but it's a complete nightmare to get your head around that's not helped by anomalies between what's was printed in yesterdays pullout, and the club £9.50 website (hopefully they will sort this).  

Which park is it that you want to attend ?

PS loads of parks have no dates listed in the charges section of the Club £9.50 website.  So if it was just available dates listed there, they have been included without any availability at any time this year !

For anybody who is disappointed that Haven are no longer included, or simply can’t find anything suitable in this promotion, Haven are doing their own “£11.50 holidays” to compete directly with £9.50 bookings:

Very misleading. That's there standard £69 cheap site & date prices that they do anyway.

They have simply quoted the up to 6 people on a £69 holiday as the equivalent of £11.50 each.

Since Covid, they also do a £49 stay only. For the cheapo sites & dates, Haven offers have often worked out cheaper than the sun holidays for years (except for the odd dates when free passes & utility were included).

The bargains used to be getting a weekend before summer hols or a spring/Aug bank holiday booking at 4 x £15 + £30 utility = £130, when the direct site price was £450.

and there are no longer any £69 for 6 people options available when you click the Stay+Play break £69 for up to a family of 6 link on their website, all that is left is 4 berth caravans which work out at £17.25 per person.  The cheapest 6 berth Stay+Play break left are £79 !.  

A family of 6 can still book stay only accommodation for £69 at numerous parks in March and May, however, which does work out at £11.50 per person, and a very limited number of £49 hols in March that work out at £8.17 per person.  See link below and scroll down.

Which simply demonstrates that it's just their own sun holidays marketing ploy to move their normal low season £69 holidays from their standard booking system, to a made up promotional link without them having to pay the newspaper commission and fool you into believing you had a bargain/discount.

There's still hols via the main Haven site for cheaper via standard ongoing promotional links for the standard 4 people offer....
