just thought i would let everyone know that the Direct Holidays Company no longer "have" Ticlo Resort in Calangute.....or have they had for the last two seasons.I have been going to the Ticlo for the last 7 years(twice a year)...and have become very friendly with the staff and the owner "Glen"...Two years ago he informed us that we would have to book with another company next time we came due to Direct Holidays no longer having rooms at the Ticlo....(outstanding bills been owing to the Ticlo!!!!!).
But when the next brochure came through the post...the Ticlo was still in !!!! I phoned Direct Holidays and asked availability...they said "no problem"...when i pointed out what i knew, they assured me that they were still dealing with the Ticlo.
My brother,not listening to me, went ahead and booked.
1WEEK before he was due to fly he got a phone call from Direct Holidays telling him he was to be relocated on arrival due to the fact Direct Holidays do not deal with the Ticlo due to it not meeting there standards....or he could have his money back (1WEEK before traveling!!!).
He did get relocated on arrival...hotel was good.
Low-and-behold...today i have received a new Direct Holidays brochure...and you've guessed it..the Ticlo is in again !!!!
I have phoned and asked about availability..."no problem" they said....i told them all what Ive just told you and they said they can assure me that they are !!!!!
The Ticlo is a great hotel...its a pitty all travel agents arn't....
