Nuclear Love - Thomson

Thomson Gold Holiday - Atlantica Imperial, Kolymbia, Rhodes

Advantages: Fab hotel, Fab location in quiet, safe harbour
Disadvantages: Not 5 star, and not 'all inclusive'

Anyone deciding to venture out to Rhodes has a lovely trip ahead of them - our hotel of choice, the Atlantica Imperial Hotel, was fantastic and the location was stunning. However, despite Thomson advertising their 'Gold' holidays as a 5 star 'all inclusive' option, my partner and I felt that our trip was, on many occasions, not at all '5 star' and more importantly, distinctly not 'all inclusive'. The holiday cost us over £2,000 for the week and yet despite treating ourselves to a luxury 'all inclusive' break, we found ourselves hounded with 'little extras' added on to our final bill: 1. Sunbeds we found finding a sunbed around the pool area impossible (unless you are prepared to get up at 6am every morning to reserve one), so spent most of our time on the beach - where sunbeds are not free! 6 euros per day for two sunbeds ...

Review of Thomson

THOMSON... Super for Families

Advantages: Lots of Choice, lots to do
Disadvantages: Not many free child places.

who went up and said the same joke night after night. I know of quite a few parents who were not happy with him over the treatment of their children. The other male Rep was lovely and worked well with the children. All the female reps were lovely and regularly in the street or dining room stopped to say hi to us all and took time to talk to the children. They were the reps who helped us enjoy our holiday. They also did some entertainment during the day like aqua gym and playing sports in the water such as water rugby etc. The hotel provided the entertainment later on. On the day before we left Thomson left a note under the door to tell us what time our bus would be leaving, the next morning. The bus was a few minutes late due to leaving the previous hotel late. But we still arrived in plenty time. The Rep on the bus gave us lots of info ...

Review of Thomson Holidays

Thomson Destiny - Tropical Transatlantic

Advantages: Price, All inclusive Option, transatlantic crossing
Disadvantages: lower level engine noise, tired cabins - could do with a refit

Thomson Destiny -Tropical Transatlantic Dec 2008 We booked this cruise in October 2007 and obtained an all inclusive deal as our last cruise cost us an extra £600 pound, mainly in drinks costs! We had previously cruised with Thompson last year on the Celebration and think that I actually prefer the layout of the smaller sister ship for a number of reasons, which I will probably touch on later in the review. The early flight from Manchester to Lisbon was on time and uneventful but on arrival at Lisbon I could only describe organised chaos. In all 5 flights had arrived from the UK with cruise passengers and all landed within a very short space of time and due to a malfunction of the baggage handling system, all the luggage arrived for all the planes at the same time, which had a knock on effect on the rest of the usual embarkation ...
