Strongly recommend you speak to Paul at Hays Winchester
We’ve booked another holiday (this time multi centre) through Paul at Hays Winchester. His extensive knowledge and excellent after-sales service are the reasons we continue to consult and book with him. What’s particularly useful is his global city expertise. He knows where to stay, what to visit and how to make the most of your time there without having to refer to the computer. Would strongly recommend that you speak to Paul when booking your next holiday.

I was looking for ideas for a holiday…
I was looking for ideas for a holiday to celebrate a special birthday. I had no idea where or what I wanted but just wanted an inspiration. Zoe listened carefully to me and provided me with some brochures with suggested destinations. and said she would prepare me 3 quotes. All the time she was very patient. We talked about the difference between half board and fully inclusive, type of accommodation I liked and the flying time to destinations. I mentioned that I had looked at Sandals but she suggested I looked at beachcomber. Various options caught my eye and she suggested that she could ring Beachcomber and see if there were any special offers available. It was through this conversation that I settled on a 2 centre holiday to the Seychelles. It was wonderful to deal personally with an assistant who listened and acted on my thoughts. Nothing was rushed and I didn’t feel pressurised. It was just a very pleasant experience. Zoe careful explanation of all the T& cs should be commended and her ability to ask about transport to the airport, currency and payment options was very thoughtful

Glad I could help you with the planning of the holiday and with the suggestions made I knew that the ideas given to you would tick each box for your holiday needs. Even the dates worked out so hubby gets back in time for his concert the next day. Hope the family wedding goes well in a couple of weeks.

Thank you for taking the time writing your kind words, I was so glad that we were able to help you with the family cruise and glad we got those cabins in the right location. It will be amazing and for you to get those early morning visits via the balcony from the grand daughter just makes it all the better. Enjoy your next holiday to Majorca.
