Hi I found the whole experience of booking a holiday stress free and very easy

Was a disaster from the beginning as booking failed and had to wait for phone call to book - then when paying the balance again the system was unavailable and had to phone for a link- Holiday was disappointing as cold food / limited choice of drinks and poor housekeeping - a number of us had food poisoning including myself and although I complained to first choice they dismissed the complaint through lack of evidence although said will investigate further but my complaint is closed- please note AI drinks do not even include rose or sparkling wine definitely not 4* will not be booking again

I first looked on line for my holiday, but I wanted to ask a few questions. So I rang First Choice and was answered by Julie. She was so helpful and friendly. I glad I rang as she answered all my questions. It was a pleasure to deal with her.

1st and last time booking with this company.
Upgraded my room (in Spain) in the App and that cancelled my hotel at the airport the night before we flew out and our airport parking, only found out about this when we turned up at airport to check-in!! Clearly a glitch in the App!!!
Rang them and was called a liar numerous times by the 🐄 on the phone. Was even told never paid for them, have proof. We ended up sleeping in the car that night as no hotel rooms left also paid an extra £128 for parking. Got a phone call was told as a good will gesture they could pay for parking, I made them book it even tho I had paid again. I could find a hotel even though they knew was none in area available and I may be able to claim back......
The worst start to a family holiday with 2 kids, NEVER AGAIN AVOID!!!!!
Sort your APP out, clearly isn't fit for purpose.

The person (Angela) who took my call and did the booking for me was really helpful and efficient. When I rang again a few days later to change my transfer the man who did the change for me was so helpful too.

Altogether a well organised operation and we enjoyed our holiday. Staff were great and responsive. Only disappointment was the quality of the hotel...it was still very pleasant but a little tired not a 5 star as claimed imo - more 4 star. Also the communal facilities could have been larger (pool always over crowded with bed blocking - could have been bigger) as could other communal seating areas...restaurant space and party space was however fine. A few more niceties in the rooms would also have gone down well. The gardens were lovely...how about some hammocks and chaise long areas in the grounds?

Nice hotel in Sorrento, bit out on a limb and a shuttle bus needed to get into the town itself. Lots of food but luke warm which is not the nicest when it's pizza and cold. Pool a little green on the wall sides but warm as it was heated. Nice pool area with bar but a little pricey, 10 euros for a cold coffee drink for 2. I understand they are thinking of returning to all inclusive which is a good idea as a lot of visitors were visiting the local winery and drinking in their rooms instead. Overall a nice break for 10 days.

Website easy to use. Options clearly displayed with prices. No hidden extras - options were shown but could be skipped/ignored. Price pp and total clear at all times.

TUI BLUE PASCHA BAY the staff excellent, constantly cleaning and servicing the communal areas, food was fine and well presented, the beach is good, access down stairs in some locations, lifeguards and security a constant daytime presence, the beach seemed safe and reasonably clean within the hotel boundary, however leave the hotel and rubbish on the neighbouring beach to the east is ever present.
We were given a room in the block next to reception, the road noise from the 6 lane highway a few meters away is 24/7 and the room poorly insulated especially around the door, and for this reason alone we would not return here. We did ask for a move, always denied even though a constant churn of room changes were apparent.
The hotel is particularly suited to families, with many babies and young children present, also reflected in the evening entertainment which is enthusiastic but mostly for kids.

I'm absolutely heartbroken. I booked a holiday before my baby was born for our first holiday together. I was told by first choice to book him as Infant X and use the DOB of the booking. When I got his birth registered and the passport through I called them and they want 300£ to amend the name! They claim to have sent a "chat message" about it after the call which I never received or recall whatsoever. I am advising anyone booking with a new baby not to use First Choice.

Easy to use website. The many useful filters enabled us to find exactly the holiday we were looking for. Very pleased with what we have picked and happy with the price. A follow-up query I had on the chat line was answered very quickly and professionally. All good so far.
