Written by the company

Neilson offers a range of award-winning overseas active holidays across seven countries, including beach clubs, ski chalets and yachts. There aren't many companies where 7 out of 10 of our guests return to relive the experience again, and again. Mind you, there aren't many holiday companies like Neilson. In part it's because we're in some of Europe's most beautiful locations - across Greece, Sardinia, Croatia and Turkey - and now Mauritius. All our activities are inclusive, likewise the delicious, locally sourced food. And in part it's because of how a Neilson holiday makes you feel. Our holidays are a unique alchemy; the enthusiasm of amazing guests and the dedication of equally amazing staff; a willingness to give it a go now and have a laugh about it later. We call it good energy and you'll feel it the moment you walk into any of our resorts.

This company always delivers

This company always delivers. Booking and guidance regarding resort or any other issues you may have. You can always talk to a representative wether in resort or prior to holiday. Not really surprised that people are on their 3rd/4th visit.

The lady I spoke to was 5 stars but the website didn't give a true picture of room availability.

You can guess which way it was wrong but this was nearly counter productive for them as we wanted a few rooms which didn't appear to be available.

A Mix of Good,Bad & Very Dissppointing

Andorra Ski Holiday. Hotel Casale-catered chalet.
A mix of very good, good , not goodand some very disappointing things that detracted from the holiday.
Very good- staff, meals,
Good -rooms, skiing
Not good- staff a bit keen to close off meal times and close the bar early.
Very Disappointing-it is much further to walk to ski lockers and gondola than the brochure would suggest. If you’re a beginner you’ll need a locker at the gondola-which is not mentioned prior to arrival-and this is £120/week. If you can ski basic you can take locker at the Nordic for £50 and ski to the gondola.
We learnt my this too late-we took locker at Nordic and suffered the painful walk from locker to gondola-and even more painful one back uphill to drop off ski kit. And then a 15 min uphill walk back to hotel. There are NO SKI BUSES in resort to help you.
Sunday to Sunday holiday not very practical for those that work, especially as the travelling to and from destinations is very long. Also for those customers (or potential customers) that don’t live in the South East-getting to the only airport offered , Gatwick is a pain and off putting. Neilson maybe be losing customers because of this. (Yes, we did ask if we could fly from a different airport and meet-the answer was ‘no”)

Neilson continue to deliver excellent value for money activity holidays. We have booked 3 now, experienced one last year - Messini Beach Club.
The booking system is easy to navigate and quick.
We have booked Messini again in May and a flotilla sail in the Ionian in September. Keep up the excellent work Neilson and we'll keep booking our holidays with you.
