Hi

I know a few people who have booked with OTB and there have been mistakes made - wrong room types, incorrect dates (booked 10 nights flight with 7 nights accommodation) etc..

I confirmed accommodation at Sofitel Pavillion Winter Palace hotel in Luxor, Egypt on 17 Sept at a cost of 88.05 GBP pp with Travel Republic on Monday. I just checked the same dates with OTB and they are more expensive. Travel Republic and Sunshine.co.uk tend to be the cheapest for accommodation only I've found - and again, they only take a deposit.

You can try Travel Supermarket and it will do a price comparison of a number of different operators.

Travel Republic's accommodation is reserved through Hotels4U.com but if you try to reserve with them, you will pay the full price rather than just a deposit ;)
Sorry, I also meant to add - I know that Travel Republic don't have the best reputation either, but we have used them a couple of times in the last 2 years and have had no problems or cause to complain.

Hi Danny, how you doing? :wave:

I've never used on the Beach as I've been put off by all the negative feeedback. I would like to recommend Travel Republic to you though as I've used them on many occasions and had bargain prices and excellent service from them.

Good Luck with your search- Where you off to?

We used onthebeach last year for two holidays and we had no problems at all everything went like clockwork and we saved £400 on thomas cook prices for the same holiday even though we were on the same flight and same hotels. :)
