yes its inc if you book direct BUT have you checked to see how much it would be ???

it does state the price per person for passes and how much per night service charge etc do you knew how much it would be before booking ?!
i've always made a saving :T by going on the sun holidays inc all the extra charges i always look to see online how much it would cost

oh and we always bring our own sheets / pillow cases / duvet covers
saves money and id rather use my own !! lol

where are you going to ? your upgrades sound well expensive!!

hi thanks for replying yes checked and they had a offer for that deal £274-this is going to be long so apols up front-INCLUDED ORIGINAL AND NOTES LEFT ON VENT BOARD SO HOPEFULLY MAKES MORE SENSE-having booked for 3 adults and 2 children to go thorness bay isle of wight(park resorts)i got my confirmation and balance to pay the other day
£75(inc insurance) so far so good
£60 (entertainment,linen and service charge)-not bad,but read dogs could stay in the bronze standard caravans so rang to upgrade as taking my mum whose had a really rough year (she has not long finished her chemo-i didn't mention this) and is allergic to dogs
silver £75
gold £105(ok not bad quite happy to do this until i found out you have to pay the upgrade and the balance as ,linen and service charge aren't included in the sun deals making it a total of
silver £210
gold £240 -i did say mum was allergic was there any chance of one of the new bronze ones but they had been taken,i said i didn't feel as it was clear regarding the upgrades but the aadvisor said it had only been mention once or twice before-i know i will end up upgrading as i dont want mum to feel ill,but do other people feel the sun holidays aren't such good value anymore,i have spoken to 3 advisors and one admin manager and they all respond the same saying the upgrade is the accomodation,the other offers only apply if booked direct-THEN NEXT DAY-
stopped feeling so mardy today and rang up and paid for gold so it totals £240,but at least i know mums going to be ok and we'll be in a nice caravan,lets hope the weather stays like this and it'll be great-then
service is mandatory,i chose to pay for passes so could use facilities,pool, if wanted,paid for linen as would be one job less and less to pack quite happy with that-OR quite happy paying for an upgrade but didnt think it fair you pay for the upgrade but still have to pay service,linen and passes(if you chose passes and linen) as is because its thru the sun,WAS TOLD AND ONLINE
if you had booked and upgraded thru park resorts the offer is below
"Gold Accommodation
Treat yourselves to luxury in these spacious, modern, top of the range holiday homes, packed with stylish extras
Caravans are 12 foot wide as standard, giving 20% more space than most caravans. 2 or 3 bedroom models are available and include heating in the bedrooms and bathrooms. Beds are made up on arrival, giving you more time to get on and enjoy your holiday.

I JUST PRESUMED BECAUSE I WAS PAYING TO UPGRADE THE LINEN AND SERVICE WOULD BE INCLUDED AND I WOULD JUST HAVE TO PAY FOR PASSES EXTRA-
JUST FELT A BIT RIPPED OFF, AS ALWAYS GONE THRU HAVEN AND IM SURE IF YOU PAID FOR THE UPGRADE THE UPGRADE PERKS WERE INCLUDED
USED THIS COMPANY AS WANTED TO TRY ISLE OF WIGHT AND BECAUSE SCHOOL HOLS DATES (14th july-18th)THIS WAS ONLY OPTION ON INTERNET,HOPE IT GOES WELL as already feel i will try direct next year be it haven or eurocamp -sorry for such a long post and in prev years have had agreat time so have a great holiday to all who are going away

can i be nosey and ask how you travelled?

i looked at a foreign park last year (salou) but because the date was school holidays the flights were very expensive so we went to butlins instead.

i'd be tempted by one near disney.

we went on the ferry ,speedferries very reasonable

BUT last yr ( early july) we had a bad crossing,really spoilt the start of the holiday ,as everyone felt queasy! had a much better crossing the october before!

so this yr we are going by eurotunnel

the drive down to the site is easy and good,then its an hour to Disney from there ,again a nice easy drive

Hi this is my first post. I have done the Sun £9:50 holidays for a few years and managed to get the £15 one this year for June. My form was in way before the deadline of 14th May but I still only got my last choice park and my last choice date. Any ideas why?
