Default Hoorah booking our hols!
Just booked our hols for September

Leaving on 11th Sept for 7 nights to Roquetas De Mar in Costa De Almeria, southern Spain.

Staying half board in this hotel Neptuno Hotel - Costa De Almeria, Spain - holidayhotels.co.uk

£255 each and £63 for Harrison (sadly they'd run out of free child places )

Has anyone been? It's meant to be pretty guaranteed weather and the most popular family place but still quite quiet as it's not high on the popular places in Spain to go? Everyone I've asked has never been there or know where it is.

It's apparantly really flat too.

I forgot to update this and writing a letter of complaint has reminded me!

Well we haven't booked!

We TRIED to book, was taken all through the details, payments details confirmed etc then they decided to inform us a disabled access room could not be pre-booked. You had to see on arrival if one was available.

This instantly started alarm bells, but I asked for door widths of the standard rooms just incase there weren't any disabled rooms.

The standard room bathroom doors weren;t even wide enough to get my chair through, let alone go the loo, get a shower etc so I told them I wasn't booking.

They then said if I paid the £250 (non refundable) deposit they'd put a request through to the hotel to reserve a disabled room, therefore ensuring I had it allocated upon arrival.......However if they came back and said they we're all fully booked I'd lose £250 deposit.

Yeah right as if I'm going to do that!!!!!!!

I was promised someone would come back to me with other suitable destinations and no-one has.

So Thomas Cook consider yourself named and shamed!

I'm trying to find their head office complaint address/email address
