Fantastic customer experience

Absolutely fantastic service from the team. From my initial call to the holiday planning team and ultimately booking our holiday the service was faultless. Very efficient and friendly staff and so excited about our holiday now, I’ve got a feeling this won’t be the last time we book with you!

Poor company that simply doesn't…

Poor company that simply doesn't deliver what it promises. The reason we booked with Tots To Travel was because of their guarantee of a safely enclosed pool and baby equipment, and we paid a substantial amount more to book the villa we stayed at through Tots To Travel as opposed to another company because of this.

On arrival at our villa, although there was a fence around the pool, the gate did not close securely and it was possible for my 1 year old to easily push it open and access the pool. We reported this as soon as possible to Tots To Travel, but it was not rectified until around 17.30 on the third day of our holiday. Various other issues also took a long time to rectify; air conditioning wasn't working correctly (and it was very, very hot at the time!), missing equipment, couldn't access certain parts of the property. The air conditioning was looked at on our third day also, it was 'fixed' but within 20 minutes of the engineer leaving acrid smoke started to come out of the air conditioning system in to my daughters room. We called Tots To Travel immediately and another engineer arrived promptly (I get the impression this was coincidental rather than in response to the situation at the time). This engineer was very good (the previous one not so much) and removed a smouldering heating element from the system. He explained the air conditioning would not work fully in certain areas and required further investigation, but it was a vast improvement on what we had previously.

Communication with Tots To Travel was frustrating, even before we departed for our holiday. Whilst on holiday, there seemed to be a complete lack of urgency to get things rectified and a repeated condescending attitude of 'you do realise that we're not based in resort, we're just a middle man'. Promises were made of when issues would be dealt with and then nothing happened, resulting in further chasing up from us to try to rectify. Lots of unnecessary stressing and waiting around for people that never turned up. Before travel, we were sent an essential kit form to fill in which was never actioned. When we chased this, we were told we needed to discuss with the local villa management company (so what are we paying TTT for then?) Contacted the local villa management company to be told we needed to speak to TTT! Ridiculously frustrating and extremely unprofessional.

Realistically, Tots To Travel offer nothing extra and I would strongly advise against booking with them. Everything that was available in the villa we booked was available regardless of whether TTT was used or not. Pool safety not guaranteed. Some items guaranteed didn't exist; no games/dvds for children (although evidence these may have existed at some point previously), 'bath toys' consisted of around 25 mini rubber ducks. Children's bowls/cups/plates/cutlery offering was poor, no closed cups or proper cutlery for example. Rooftop terrace advertised for use but not actually available. When we arrived at the villa we had been provided with incorrect details by TTT so were unable to access the villa. We were stood around outside for over 30 minutes trying to resolve this before we finally got in. No apology for this at any point! Cots provided were travel cots with proper mattresses in them; the mattresses didn't fit snuggly which meant there was a considerable gap between the side of the cot and mattress. Our children were almost two at the time so were ok, but I would have been horrified if I had a younger baby (under 6-8 months say) as I do not think this would be safe. A smaller child could easily have rolled over and gotten stuck between mattress and cot side.

On the fourth day of our week long holiday we had contact from the Operations Manager at TTT. We stated we would like to try to enjoy what was left of our holiday, and there seemed to be agreement that there would be further contact when we had returned from our holiday. There was never any further follow up however, and we all felt so frustrated by our experience with this company and the time and effort we had put in to trying to get issues rectified when we should have been enjoying our holiday, that we couldn't bring ourselves to start the process again.

I would never book with this company again. Once we had paid our deposit any concern for customer experience seemed to go out the window. Please avoid.

Thank you for leaving this feedback and thank you for your time on the phone earlier, it is appreciated and very useful to me to hear the feedback first hand from you. I am pleased everything was resolved while you were on holiday but I can only apologise that everything was not perfect when you arrived and for the disruption you experienced during your stay, this should not have been the case and is not what we would expect. We will be following up with the villa regarding the areas that were not up to scratch to ensure these are resolved for the upcoming season.

My apologies again and thanks again for the feedback. Please rest assured that we will be taking the appropriate action and feel free should any of your party wish to contact me directly in the future if I can be of assistance.

Lack of Safety Checks

Tots to Travel say on their website their point of difference is they pride themselves on ‘safe and stress free holidays for families’ but our 17 month old daughter could have died on the first night when we stayed at Green Garden in December.

Our daughter was crying in the night and when I went in to check her, her head was firmly wedged between the cot mattress and cot (On investigation, the Lullaby Trust (UK sleep safety charity) state the gap should be no more than 5cm... this was circa 25cm). If she were younger I’m absolutely terrified to think what could have happened.

We also had an incident at the hotel of the automatic doors closing on our 4 year old on a Tots group treasure hunt activity and scolding hot water come out of the cold water tap in our bathroom when I was hand washing some clothes (the taps were mislabelled and luckily it was me not my daughter using them) ...

All these incidents were dealt with by the tots team efficiently, very apologetically and apparently mattress checks have been put in place, (and they did upgrade us as an apology) but they SHOULD NEVER have happened in the first place for a safety driven travel company for children.

I am hoping we were just really unlucky (as our first booking to Martinhal was great in October and we loved the tots concept) but i cannot recommend Green Garden just incase it happens to anyone else.

Thank you for leaving this feedback for us; we are of course extremely concerned about what happened during your holiday as safety is our top concern.

As soon as we spoke to you when you called in, we were in immediate contact with the resort to get the issue with the cot resolved for you and to get you upgraded and to a quieter location too.

Whilst I am really pleased to see that you were happy with how our team dealt with these issues as they came in and with your previous experience at Martinhal, we do of course agree that this incident should not have happened in the first place.

After your experience, we visited the resort in person (prior to our own visit when we also checked the cots) to ensure that the mattresses placed in the cots are the correct ones and that they fit snugly – which in this case was the issue. We have also reported the other issues to ensure that they do not re-occur.

I apologise for your experience, and thank you for leaving this feedback which is completely understandable; rest assured that the appropriate action has been taken.

Cannot recommend highly enough

We have used TTT twice now - both times for Green Garden Resort in Tenerife. They were very helpful in confirming the facilities on site, what we needed to bring etc. They were practical and had common sense. As an example, we asked if a buggy could be provided. They said it could but actually we would probably want it in the airport and it would be less stressful to have ours as we were familiar with it. Always helpful and professional. We would (and have) use them again.

Perfect from Start to Finish

Having been worried about a holiday with a toddler and a baby I needn’t have been. Green Garden resort has everything you need to keep small children entertained which leaves you to enjoy the sun and all the resort has to offer. Only criticism would be the food, although generally good and varied through the week it would have been a bit tired beyond this. Also not the best variety for veggies. Will happily return though as not a deal breaker as the rest of the resort and staff are brilliant. T2T were great throughout, especially the pre departure call to make sure everything was good to go.
