Flights through jet2 good,reception at airport efficient and speedy,Hotel very attractive and hotel staff superb.Sadly all let down by Prestige staff who clearly do not check the housekeeping of the hotel rooms they recommend to their clients who lets be straight pay a premium to Prestige for just such a service.We had a number of minor problems with the room such as broken tiles,blocked sink, telephone not working,hair dryer burning,all dealt with quickly by the hotel but had prestige ground staff occasionally checked the rooms then probably would not have been experienced by clients.When we reported the above to Mr Dixon we initially did Not get a response then one arrived which skimmed over the problems and basically showed his abject disinterest in anything other than compliments . We would not recommend this tour company Prestige Holidays ( only in name!) HotelBahia Del Duque

hello Mr Leighton
I am so sorry that my initial response to your comments were not to your liking.
Our obligations to you included providing flights with Jet2, greeting you on arrival in Tenerife, getting you to the hotel quickly and comfortably, and reserving an hotel for you. In your above review these are all services which you are kind enough to compliment us on and I am very pleased that they all met your expectations. I did apologise for the shortcomings in your room which are of course all outside our control and are the hotel's responsibility to get right. John Dixon

Lovely hotel - great service

Picked Hacienda de Abajo in La Palma as a quiet relaxing destination for one week's warmth. It did just that in a lovely setting. Not much to do in Tazacorte but one week was perfect. Hotel offered great food, super service and lovely room.Shame there wasn't enough room or loungers around the pool so unable to take the sun at times.

Hello Mr Turner and thank you for these comments. I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay at the Hacienda with good food, service and room.
What a shame there was not enough space by the pool at times.

Attentive Service

My wife and I travelled to La Gomera, with Prestige Holidays, the first time we had used this operator. Specific comment must be made on Nicki Gormley, their Representative, who, although not specifically required for any issues, was extremely courteous, attentive, and supportive, throughout the holiday. La Gomera was a quite wonderful experience, thanks to Prestige Holidays.

Surpassed our expectations

For us, perfect. After a short flight from our local airport, we were welcomed at Palma by Jean, the company rep, who couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. A short private transfer took us to our hotel which was wonderful - no complaints at all. The location, with a small beach just across a quiet road, was ideal for us as we are an elderly couple and not keen on walking too far in the heat! We were so pleased with the whole experience ...

October sunshine in Sicily

We booked a two centre holiday based on hotels selected from the Prestige brochure. We were also advised to hire a car. We had never been to Sicily before, and everything worked very well. We had 3 nights in Scicli, with great westher, and superb sightseeing, especially Syracusa. We then had 4 nights in Giardini Naxos. Here the hotel was good, but the resort not to our taste. However, we travelled to Taormina and Mount Etna, and had a good time.

Rating for tour operator:

We had a tour rep in both Scicli and Giardini Naxos, who were both very helpful. The booking advice for hotel, flights and car hire was spot on in conjunction with Coop Travel). No complaints.

SUNNY SICILIA

A wonderful island, perfect for a late autumn break. Sunny days, Unesco World Heritage Sites, Mount Etna, beautiful coastline and heavenly food and wine. A well organised holiday that took us to South East Sicily, all transfers, car hire and hotel bookings worked like clockwork. Great hotels, The Ashbee in Taormina and the Novecento in Scicli, made us so welcome and comfortable. To start the day sitting in the sunshine on the hotel terrace ...

A wonderful island, perfect for a late autumn break. Sunny days, Unesco World Heritage Sites, Mount Etna, beautiful coastline and heavenly food and wine. A well organised holiday that took us to South East Sicily, all transfers, car hire and hotel bookings worked like clockwork. Great hotels, The Ashbee in Taormina and the Novecento in Scicli, made us so welcome and comfortable. To start the day sitting in the sunshine on the hotel terrace eating breakfast whilst overlooking the bay, who could want more? We were so happy there we began to look in estate agent windows! If you love Italy, if you love beauty and good food and wine and fabulous shoes and fashion and charming towns and friendly people, then this is the place for you.

Rating for tour operator:

Prestige holidays put a holiday together and recommended hotels and locations it would have taken us a long time to put together ourselves. The whole experience was utterly stress free from our initial phone call to the travel agent, to considering our options and the holiday itself. Very well chosen and well organised, but of course you do pay for it, it certainly wasn't cheap.

Lovely relaxing holiday

We spent a week in Madeira, at the Porto Santa Maria. Hotel was lovely, food very good, airport taxi - organised by Prestige - on time and very efficient, friendly driver. Flew with Jet 2, good flights in both directions. Can't fault this trip, and the weather was good too!
