We were accosted by a rep from this…

We were accosted by a rep from this company to basically “get a free gift and leave after an hour presentation at the mayflower hotel” simply put. We went ahead and went to the hotel where we met a lovely sales rep who guided us through the holiday discount offer, however after almost 2 hours of discussion we were then passed onto his boss- a Scottish man (unsure of his name) who was very hard sell approach pressuring us to “leave a deposit now” with no option for myself and my partner to discuss the proposal before we committed to leaving a deposit. His arrogant, abrupt approach with us was a step too far and we left saying we would definately complain about his lack of customer service and very hard sell salesmanship but we can’t seem to find a complaints email in order to do so. Hard sell, pressured company with a terrible leader at its core. Be warned do not get bullied into signing anything with this company before you have time to think about it.

We recently stayed at The Sunset beach…

We recently stayed at The Sunset beach club from 1st March to 8th March and booked this with Pauline Caruana at Discover Access. The whole booking experience was easy and Pauline was very helpful.
Sunset Beach club is a really lovely hotel, set in an ideal location .Our Apartment was great and the view from our balcony (room 250)was amazing, looking right onto the beach.We did not use the outdoor pools as it was still chilly but all the facilities at this hotel are good, and the staff very friendly.
The only downside was a meal we had at the restaurant. My husband had fillet steak -very disappointing-. Definitely not fillet steak as it was very grisly. Our meals were also lukewarm and at 27.00euro for the steak, we did expect better. We did complain to the waiter but he didn't seem to care. So sadly,we did not eat there again.
The bus stops and taxis are just outside the hotel and it is easy to get around.
All in all we had a lovely time and would return again.

Courteous and professional

When we extended our membership to Discover Access, my wife and I are sure that we were told that Club las Calas in Lanzarote was a"home resort", available to members at a substantial discount.
When we came to book, was told that it was not.
However, agents were always polite and courteous and eventually we made our booking although not with the discount we expected.

Staff are very willing to help with any situation you are experiencing,
We had to cancel a holiday back in December and we had a letter from them to help with our Insurance Claim,
Staff respond to email requests very promptly.
Our last holiday in February was dealt with very quickly from request to booking (24 Hours).
We stayed at Club Las Calas in Lanzarote. Would go there again.

From beginning to end was a dream

From beginning to end was a dream. Booking was simple and quick. We ordered a taxi through Access, which was waiting on our arrival. I would recommend the taxi service Discover Access uses. Driver was helpful in every way. Both from picking up at the airport, to taking my wife, and I back to the airport. The Mayflower staff were magnificent. From the reception to the hotel bar. The room was clean, and the cleaning staff came in every day to tidy the room. Unfortunately, the view was not that good, looking out of the room. The view was of the back of the rear of the opposite hotel. But, who stays in a room just for the view. OVERALL the stay was well worth it. Geoff

The hotel was nice and the staff helpful.
However, Discover Access as a company is not what we were led to believe. We have now appointed a solicitor to remove ourselves from the contract.
If you have a lot of money and plenty of time to travel, this may suit you.

The booking process is really easy if by email or by phone and all the customer service team are really friendly and helpful with suggestions on hotels and vacations, all answered in a timely manner. The accommodation was what I was looking for, clean spacious and to a very good standard in an area that was great and easily accessible for days out and amenities.

I have been with the club for 2 years and and holidayed in both the UK and Europe and have enjoyed all the vacations and I am sure I will enjoy more in the future.

We were stopped at Buggiba bus station…

We were stopped at Buggiba bus station in October 2024 and on returning home realised just how much the holidays were going to cost in extras, flights, transfers and luggage and decided that membership was not worth it. We cancelled our membership and sent off forms within 14 days cooling off period. Received a letter stating that membership was cancelled but still no sign of £1,500 we paid at time of joining. We were each given different paperwork to sign on the spot and not really given enough time to read it before signing.
Further to my review, Discover Access have replied and they have cancelled the main contract but the extra so called FREE year has not been cancelled and they have kept the £1500 deposit paid at the time of being signed up. So still only 1*. Further update today (20/02/2025) we have today received another letter demanding another £500. The contract has been cancelled, stop demanding more money.
