Title: Sunshine.co.uk
Post by: united4eva on July 25, 2010, 19:40:24 PM
Hi All,

I didnt know where else to put this post.

I have found a holiday when looking for just a hotel with sunshine.co.uk
My only worry is they dont have a telephone number and i would like to confirm a few things with them.

Has anyone ever booked with them before?? I have selected a transfer with them but do you know how often the bus transfers run as I land early hours in the morning?

Can i trust them and do I have anything to worry about before i throw a few hundred pound at a company that i never dealt with before.

Thank you!

I booked a short stay hotel only from them and it worked out fine, but then again we were already in Turkey.
Our friends booked the Ceren Hotel Calis in June, hotel flights and transfers, they did not experience a problem.
hope this helps a little.

I have booked twice with them for flights hotel and transfers and no problems, it's usually a large mini bus that picks you up and it has always been there when my flight landed. Longest I have had to wait for it to go is about half hour because another flight landed at same time and we had to wait for some people, don't worry, book it and enjoy!  8)

My friend has just booked with them, and she emailed them a query, and got a quick response, so might be worth sending your queries on an email.

Used them for my 2 weeks holiday in June- just for the hotel and it was fine and the communication was good.

Thanks for all the replies! I definitely need a transfer so I will book through them as it is so much cheaper than a private one for just me!

Thank You!

I booked through Sunshine this year.I was caught with the Goldtrail demise and they have handled the situation really well,regular emails and managed to change accomodation dates to fit in with our new flights without any fuss or cost. I don't believe any of the "big" operators could have done as well.
The lack of phone number was a concern for me at first but their rapid response via email makes up for it.

I noticed when the volcanic ash episode was on, they had regular updates on Facebook, which I thought was quite handy, i would definately book with them again..

Whilst I have not needed this companies services, I do know them through motor racing. They run two cars in the British Touring Car Series, one driver is the brother of a certain Mel B. They also sponsor the The British Breast Cancer charity, all in all, Good Eggs. 8)

My family had 3 separate bookings for rooms in the Ceren this year through Sunshine.  It was a nightmare as when we arrived at the hotel we were told Sunshine had cancelled all our rooms and we had nowhere to stay.  We were walking about the streets like the Clampets until 11 at night and being punted around hotels.  Eventually the manager of the Ceren spoke to the manager of the Mulhun and he took us in for 2 nights.  Sunshine said it was the fault of the agents in Turkey and we ended up in the Malhun for 5 nights before going back to the Ceren on the 6th.  Would i use Sunshine again? doubt it very much.  My daughter spends summers here which is why we all came - to see her and her boyfriend.  She got some of her turkish friends in to help clarify things or it could have been worse.  However I must say it turned out not to be the Ceren's fault and they and the Malhun did what they could.

Do not know who is at fault here,but,the ceren was contracted to Thomsons this year on a B and B basis.The hotel did not reveal to thomsons that they had done a deal with B52 for garden bar.Any one who visits here ie Calis, more than once is aware that B52 is a loud music late night venue.So Thomsons have been giving out,compensation packages. Needless to say they will not be using the ceren next year.I would be wary of trashing Sunshine in the circumstances!
