On The Beach

Has anyone got a contact no for on the beach (one where you speak to a person rather than the automated lines)?  I booked a holiday on line on Monday and although they’ve taken the deposit monies I have had no confirmation emails and the booking doesn’t appear in My Bookings which means I don’t have the option for “live chat”.  The nos i have found for them just direct you to live chat …

    According to their information, there should eventually be an option where they call you back?

    alternatively, when they asked for a number, if you repeatedly press zero, that can sometimes get you through, Or if it’s voice recognition just keep repeating “complaint” or “human”. 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Only number I have found is 0333 003 1934
    Not sure if that is the automated as haven't tried it.

    You could try social media too such as X (twitter)

    Finally got hold of them through Facebook, ridiculous that you can’t speak to somebody on the phone

    Out of curiosity, why did you book with an outfit like that, was it price, reviews, price, convenience, price....?

    Although this is obviously a money-saving site, cheapest is emphatically not always best, and often signifies companies choosing to cut corners and offer low-quality service, so in this case they've presumably decided that eliminating customer-facing phone staff is one way to slash overheads....
