We booked a family holiday to Spain (family of 5) arrived at our hotel to find that on the beach had booked the accommodation 10 days prior to our booking. When we arrived the hotel told us that they had contacted ‘On The Beach’ to tell them that we were a ‘no show’ but they failed to acknowledge the issue. After hours on the phone, (having been up since 2am, we were backed in a corner and offered 2 grotty alternatives (self catering) and one, bed and breakfast option. After saying that we weren’t happy they said that we needed to take one of the options or we wouldn’t have any accommodation (at this point it was 9pm local time and 8 hours of waiting). We took the option of bed and breakfast. This caused a mass of issues as we had booked self catering and planned cooking our meals to coincide with our children’s routines. We had to pay an extra €450 to go all inclusive, as we no longer had the option of cooking for ourselves, and eating in and around the area would have cost excessively more. On The Beach said they had done all they could and that we should be grateful they found us and alternative accommodation, however, we had wasted 2 days of our holiday sorting out the mess they created. We did make the most of our remaining 5 days, but having highlighted during all initial commotion that the transfer was booked from our original hotel and this needed to be changed, On The Beach strike again, having confirmed with the shuttle company (via the hotel) that we were being picked up at 09:25 we waited again and lo and behold, they went to the wrong hotel (nearly an hour away in rush hour traffic) therefore, we had to get the train to the airport having paid nearly €200 for the transfers. The staff are rude and never once offered a sincere apology or emphasised with our situation, just repeating that they had done all they could, or we had to wait to find out what the hotel had said (even though we spoke to the hotel manager and knew there were no self catering apartments on site). I would strongly consider using someone / anyone else, if you’re looking for a relaxing stress free holiday that doesn’t cost more in the long run.
