Sunshine holidays (are we just unlucky ?)

[Christie]

It is Sunshine.co.uk who we have booked through but presumably this other company are the people they deal with in Turkey who have now gone into administration.  We have been told we can either get a refund or rebook a different hotel.  However if you go on Sunshine.co.uk site they are still offering the Aymes !  We are in Spain at the moment so as soon as we are home we will ring Sunshine and clarify the situation.

Hi Christie,  I booked the Aymes through Travel Republic and rang them three weeks ago.  They told me that someone else has taken over the bookings, or something along those lines, and the price etc. remains the same.  I also spoke to Rambo the manager of the Aymes and he said that everything is OK but the hotels wont get paid by the On Holiday Group for last years bookings.  I did notice that the prices with Travel Republic had gone up.  I hope you get sorted and if you go to the Aymes, I am sure you will enjoy it there.  Nothing fancy but clean and tidy and there's a small bath as well as a shower.  They also have mattresses for the sun loungers this year as well as a few other upgrades to the place.  The rooms have a fridge and a flat screen TV and wi-fi.

Good Evening,

Thank you for your email.

We can confirm that we have not gone into administration.

One of our suppliers [On Holiday Group] ceased trading at the beginning of March however we can confirm your booking has not been affected.

Kind regards,

Many thanks Ray.  Think the best thing we can do is to get our money back from Sunshine co uk and rebook through Travel Republic.  We did go to the Aymes last September and were happy with it - hopefully they will have mattresses for the sunbeds this year.  Hopefully we will see you there !

I was also quite worried about this situation as I am booked into Kaan for July, but got this e-mail back..   

Thank you for your email.

So happy days,  hope anyone who is affected by this gets sorted out

I looked into doing a Calis hotel booking site a few years back - it's quite easy to set up, but the problem is that you need Calis/Fethiye hoteliers need to allocate/commit a number of rooms to you so you can fill them. In most cases they were happy to commit, but if someone walked in off the street and paid more they were quite happy to just forget you.

So it's a personal point of view but I wouldn't blame the likes of Sunshine or Travel Republic, they have to deal with thousands of hotels across Turkey and the World, I couldn't get the few dozen in Calis to understand
