Everything is good but what I don’t understand is when you book a all inclusive holiday and then you get told you only can have 3 alcohol drinks a day that’s not all inclusive

Thank you for your booking!

Unfortunately we don't control the drinks limits, these are set by the country.

We hope you have a lovely holiday! :)

Outstanding Customer Care

This branch is quite possibly the best branch for outstanding customer care. Jill and Imogen without fail always go above and beyond. I can't recommend you enough. If you want somewhere you can trust, with people who listen, and a stres free booking process, then this is without a doubt the branch to book in.

Hi Readers,
Hays Birtley, was back to me regarding my enquiry.....
Gill sorted me a great price with all the trimmings, booked within half-hour, great knowing they are just at the end of the line should you have any queries.
Appreciate their help every time, even though I have used them for 30 years, yes 30 years. Never been let down or dissatisfied... Thanks Gill...x

Easiest holiday I’ve ever booked.

Booked a holiday today with ease because of Shaun’s professional and enthusiastic approach. Lad really is a credit to the Hays brand. We will be booking many holidays in the future with you.

Thanks Paul. It was a pleasure helping you book your holiday, Hope you all have a great time. I look forward to helping you plan your next trips! - Shaun

Easiest holiday I’ve ever booked with Shaun

There wasn’t a question our agent Shaun couldn’t answer and we asked many. We had no idea where we wanted to go and this meant many many options being searched for and sent to us by Shaun, and we fine tuned from there to find our perfect holiday. We realised we could find it cheaper with the company, so of course Shaun sorted a price match. Wholly worth it for the personal customer service experience we got from Shaun rather than direct with the company even at the same price. I’ve no doubt we’ll be looking at upgrades etc nearer the time and I’m confident Shaun will be able to organise this with ease. We’ve already tasked him with searching for the city breaks we hope to plan for this year…thank you Shaun, couldn’t have done it without you, saved me 9 hours of research as chief organiser for our group.
