having been on two Sun holidays last year and year before, I was looking forward to getting the priority letter and form in the post as I wanted to book for september. Really thought would get this but alas did not, even though my brother-in-law got one and he hasn't even been for two years Can anyone explain why please? Has it got lost in the post and can I phone The Sun enquiring why I didn't get a letter?
have started collecting them from yesterday but it will take me longer so i might not get the choices we want, am really disappointed now
yeh, we are going on a sun holiday in october half term for £38 for 2 adults and 2 children. we have had to pay an extra £50 for entertainment passes and electric. thats for 4 nights monday to fri. we have been on loads, a lot seem to be haven holiday parks, which are really great with everything going on and the kids love it. once you have a holiday with the sun, they send you priority order forms for hte next time they do them so you have less tokens to collect and can book online to be sure of what you want and when. we didnt go last year so didnt have priority form this time and were initally unsucessful in our first choice of greenacres, but they send you a list of dates and parks available and you can then do it online, which we did, and got greenacres after all. £88 for 4 nights at half term for 4 people cant be bad, so go for it. anyway ive gone on quiet a bit about it so sorry, but id recommend it for anyone. enjoy
Only thing is, there are only three of us, two adults and one child, and I think that we will have to pay as if we were two adults and two children.
Oh well, even if that is the case, it still seems like a good deal. Hope we are successful.Enjoy your holiday.
yeh that is the only draw back it is based on 4 people, but then i suppose you will only pay for 3 people for entertainment passes and under 5s go free. hope you get what you want, you will have to let us know if your successful. what area were you hoping for, i have only been to the haven at hafan y mor and greenacres in wales, so dont know what anywhere else is like
Happy holidays.
Does anyone know when you get to hear if you have been successful in getting your holiday. We sent in our booking form last Monday, and was just wondering when you get to hear.
If anyone knows from past experience, I'd be grateful.
Cheers

Thanks very much for replying. Good to know we will hear soon one way or the other. X
Good luck hope you get something
hi sometimes it can be better if you are unsuccsessful as they let you book online. i wanted to go to greenacres as ive mentioned before, at the october half term, but had letter back saying i was unsuccessful, went online with the password your given adn hey presto got in at greenacres at half term. if you book online it lets you know whats available when. hope you hear soon, the waiting is the worst bit. let us know if you get what you want
Unfortunatly, we were unsuccessful in all our choices,- both dates and holiday parks. However, we were, as you say able to go online, and hunt around for what was still available. It took a little time, as we had to find a completly different date, and park, but eventually settled on one in north wales for three nights in December.
Really pleased we got something after all! Looking forward to it now. Do you know how often the Sun run the holidays? I've noticed that you can go abroad as well. I know it would be more expensive to do this. Have you ever done this, or do you tend to stay in the UK?
Not long till half term now. Hope you have a great holiday.
It isn't more expensive as entertainments passes are free!
you do have to pay £15 damage insurance waiver thingy though
we have paid £77 for a 2 bed for mon - fri
using tesco deals for eurotunnel too
They do these hols at least 4 times a year
Also, thought it was only a couple of times a year when they ran the holidays, so that's even better!. I'll keep an eye on the paper in future. Enjoy your holiday in October. Not long till half term now. X
less than 2 weeks to go and we will be there ( leaving early on the sat morning ) I sooooo need a holiday ! lol
x
I've been on one already this year, so should i get a priorty booking form, or are they sent out randomly? Trying to decide whether to go ahead and book a break for feb half term, or hold off to see if the sun holidays will be running again.
have been to France 3 times,Butlins about 3 times I think and a few sites in Devon about 4 times!
We can only holiday during school holidays ,so always make a good saving
lol you only need 10 tokens so don't have to buy the paper for a month!
and once you have booked a holiday once,you should ( in theory!) receive priority booking code next time round,enabling you to book online ,without any of the waiting to find out what holiday you have got!
i didn't get a priority form this time round and e-mailed through the sun website and was told they are sent out to random people.i haven't been on the 9.50 hols for a couple of years and i'm hoping we get booked sending the codes away i'm on a list for priority code but end of the queque
I dont think for a minute though that I will get my choice of parks, because i did'nt have a shot at booking online! My neighbour who had a priorty booking ref, was really dissapointed to only get her third date and choice of park, so even when booking online, it seems there's no guarentee you will get what you want.
Yes, according to the Sun they are sent out at randon, so i guess we've been unlucky.
ye i can only go on two dates but gave them 5 parks so fingers crossed
as often you don't save much with the Sun once you add on entertainments passes
If going to one of the European sites or in school holidays though ,then you definitely make a good saving
I managed to get the site I wanted but 2nd date choice on Thursday evening, when the site opened and someone guessed the final code word!
