“Holiday in the Riu Belplaya, Torremolinos, April 2013”
Written on: 04/05/2013
I highly recommend Sunshine.co.uk. We booked the flights, hotel, transfers, and even local airport parking through this website and I have to say everything was wonderfully well organised and went without a hitch. We were warmly greeted at Malaga airport by the local rep and directed to our transfer coach. On arrival at the Riu Belplaya we were welcomed by reception staff and from then on we had a wonderful holiday. I would not hesitate to book a holiday through Sunshine.co.uk in the... (read more)

Just returned from 2 weeks in El Cotillo,Fuerteventura.Sunshine's prices and service were far superior to other internet travel firms.Very nice follow ue mail when we returned.No complaints and as this is the second time we have used them wouldnt hesitate to use them in the future. I believe they are connected to Hays travel which is a well established N.East travel agent.A very straightforward website and a useful contact phone number.Vouchers were smple and easy to understand with all the...

“The price is not right!”
Written on: 28/02/2013
Got very excited to find some flights to Egypt on sunshine.co.uk very much cheaper than any other site. Armed with my credit card I proceeded through the booking - only to find at the very end of the process that the flight had "suddenly" increased by £200! My partner fed this back to the company who said it was due to changes in price with the flight provider (monarch in this instance) however this is not true. The advertised price remained the same on the website for several days after -... (read more)

“Great holiday company”
Written on: 14/01/2013
I found Sunshine Holidays in 2009 and have used them every year since. Sometimes just for hotels & then I book flights direct with airline. Other times I book both with sunshine. I compare prices with many other companies & it is not often that they are beaten. Never had any problem with them any questions are answered quickly and they are very helpful when I want to add more days or people to the booking, phoning me to confirm details etc! Highly recommend them! (read more)

Two times have I used this agency, and both times they screwed up. This time they forced me to move to another hotel because of overbooking. This was only a few weeks before my holiday. And, when offering me a refund the amount was smaller than the one, I paid..! Use another agency!!! (read more)

“Cape Verde, Sal, Santa Maria. Transfers?”

The price of our 8 day holiday to Sal was very good, booking was easy and prompt. Be prepared to wait for a few days befor you can print any of your documentation though. The bad points, we stayed at Porto Antigo Apartments which are excellent, however there 3 parts to the complex and they are not connected (physically or management) we couldn't find out from Sunshine which one we were in right up to the time of departure, fortunately an independent guid that I had booked found out for us...

Have just returned from Side Turkey and having used Sunshine for the first time we were pleasantly surprised how smooth everything went.Accomodation was first class{Villa Onemli].We booked a private car for transfers,this was very reasonably priced and arrived bang on time.Communications from the company prior to departure were very helpful and not something you normally get from a travel agent.I would thoroughly recommend this company to anybody.

A bit doubtful at first risking the annual holiday with a company we have never dealt with before. NO WORRIES. Went as planned tranfers etc. Great holiday. The way I see it is if you save on Flight, Transfers and Hotel it leaves more money for the good things in a holiday that you deserve. Thanks Sunshine. See you next year if not before. (read more)

Sunshine Tour Operators - First Class ... We decided to go to Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt on a budget, therefore we booked the cheapest hotel called Hauza Beach Resort in Nabq Bay, Egypt. Everything was straight forward. Three months before the holiday we received an email from Sunshine Holidays to say that there were Health and Safety issues at Hauza and would we accept a change of hotel.

Nothing to fault, although, I have to say I was a little worried if I'm honest, as the package did seem to be extremely good value. Anyhow, booked last minute to Zante, basically because the weather at home was rubbish. Booked on Tuesday 1st May, went on the Thursday. Only advantage I had as opposed to some customers (perhaps) is that I actually knew the hotel that I had picked. Hadn't actually stayed there before, but knew it looked OK. Well, the entire holiday went brilliantly,... (read more)

We got off to a slightly shaky start when I decided to book in-flight meals for the inbound flight, but we got it sorted and it all worked out O.K. The Cap de Mar Aparthotel in Cala Bona is a very nice little hotel, generally serving plenty of good quality food, but we found that the sun-bathing area around the pool was quite shady during the early and latter parts of the day, due to surrounding buildings. This is probably due to the late time of year with the sun lower in the sky. We booked (read more)

Written on: 30/09/2011
We booked a holiday to the Poppy apartments in Calis Turkey..... What a disgrace. They where the worst apartments I've ever stepped into. Dark, Dirty and full of uncontrolled brats. Running around till the early hours while the so called parents sat at the bar drinking. The owners where only interested in making money. We had booked for the fortnight but only stayed 2 nights then found other apartments. Don't go there. There is much nicer places close by and much cheaper too. (read more)

Written on: 24/05/2012
Admin is a joke. Worried about the bad reviews on the airline ssu to rhodes. They refused point blank to switch me to another airline which would have cost me £100 MORE. One line responses is all you get. I can just see them in the office a load of David Walliams the computer says no.
