The pool and sun deck are closed until further notice

On the face of it this was a good trip put together by Great Value Holidays to Gibraltar. Unfortunately the 5 Star Sunborn Yacht, permanently moored at Ocean View, Gibraltar was not fully functioning. The whole of deck 7 where the pool and sun deck are located along with the main restaurant were closed due to maintainace, and will continue to be closed until the end of March. This is a scheduled maintenance and guests should be told this when booking.

Dear Alan:

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate your comments and have also passed them on to our team for their awareness.

While we were not informed in advance of the timing of the closure
please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused by essential maintenance. The sun deck and pool area was, unfortunately, closed due to health and safety considerations. During your stay, Gibraltar experienced wind gusts of up to 50 miles per hour, which presented a safety concern for guests.

Thank you once again for your feedback. We are glad that you were still able to enjoy a relaxing holiday overall, and we very much hope you will consider booking with us again.

4 nights in Akureyri, Iceland

All information was correct and complete. Travel arrangements and hotel were as advertised. The hotel was in a very good location and was very comfortable apart from the room itself which was rather small with inadequate lighting.

We needed a break and set off with just the satisfaction of not going to work. After a rather early start we loved every minute. The hotel was excellent and the breakfast spot on. Very happy and will definitely book again.

Loved our time in Akureyri and happy that everything went smoothly. The hotel was very up to date (although that may have been because we were in the annexe) and very clean. Breakfast had plenty of variety. I would have liked to have more information about the activities and others that were available, at an earlier date. Did not get to the forrest lagoon as the only shuttle bus was in the evening, when we preferred to go out for a meal.

Lovely winter break in Iceland

We had a great time on our trip to akureyri in northern Iceland. The package was well organised by Great Value Holidays, who kept us well informed beforehand, sending useful reminders. We stayed at Hotel Akureyri, a relaxed, comfortable hotel with charming staff, stylish rooms (if a bit short of storage) and excellent breakfasts.
The included northern lights safari was fun, even if we didn't get a great show(wrap up warm).

Akureyri itself is a charming town with some quaint old buildings, lively and cosy cafes and some excellent (though expensive) restaurants.And of course it's on the banks of the magnificent Eyjafjiord.

Other must-does in Akureyri: a whale watching boat trip - even in winter we saw humpback and orcas; and a visit to the Forest Lagoon to enjoy a soak in the thermal pools.

Three Night Akureyri Adventure

A fabulous hotel. Fantastic breakfast. Very good communication about a flight delay that was out of the control of the company. Great flight times. A superb guide for the Northern Lights tour. Very smooth transfers. A lovely, lovely long weekend. Thank you.

Sunborn

Amazing hotel/super yatch, the weather was atrocious and we arrived 5 hours late after having to divert to Malaga.
Our return journey was even worse and took an extra 12 hours due to the communication tower having no power!

Fabulous trip to Akureyri

Easy to book and see the Itinerary for the trip on the portal. All documents for flights, hotel, transfers and excursions were there ready within a few days. Easyjet changed the flight time so had to rearrange an excursion which was easy to do on the phone. Staff on the phone always friendly and helpful

We visited for Akureyri 4 nights/ 5 days. It's a lovely town, small and picturesque. Probably 3 nights is adequate, hotel was fine, relaxed atmosphere in the bar area. Late flight home wasn't ideal.

Lake Bled - Slovenia!

Couldn’t fault a single thing!! Everything was great from start to finish. Transport excellent both ways and hotel was lovely. Staff were friendly there and helpful, loved our room they’d thought have everything in this hotel. Food choices were good as well at breakfast and dinner.

Lake Bled in Slovenia is beautiful and can imagine in other seasons is even more beautiful.

Overall experience was fantastic and will be using this company again.
