It is well put together and easy to use. You can ask it to suggest a resort that suits you or simply go straight to the resort you are interested in. The online booking system is an easy-to-follow 'shopping basket' system that you can browse around in before having to fill in forms and if you can't cope or can't be bothered, there's a telephone phone booking number. The Company is a fully bonded member of ABTA and holds its own ATOL licence. |
