Thomas Cook (shocking)
« on: March 15, 2010, 06:00:21 PM »
Hi everybody,

It's been a while since I've been on, so I thought I would have a good old Victor Meldrew moan about Thomas Cook.  My wife and I booked way back in October, for 2 weeks, 18th June staying at the Mythos apartments.  Or so we thought!  I received a phone call today from the local Thomas Cook branch to inform me that "the hotelier is unable to honour your reservation".  So in their wisdom, without my blessing, they decided to book me into the Kokinos apartments in Arillas.

Well I visted the local office and told them in no uncertain terms that I thought their actions or lack of them was disgusting.  I asked all the relevant questions, why? how? etc; but they were totally indifferent to my dilemma and put the blame firmly with the owners of the Mythos apartments.  Now I stayed at these apartments last year and I recall other holiday makers having similar problems.  Why are Thomas Cook giving these people any business?  They honestly did not seem to be interested in resolving my problem and I ended up sitting going through various options available.  After this holiday I will not touch Thomas Cook again!

To conclude, I changed dates and my wife and I are staying for two weeks at the Vicky apartments starting 25th June.  Any feedback on these apartments would be helpful.

Rod.

Things like this usually turn out for the best. You will still have a fantastic time and be more centrally situated as well. Being near the beach will also be a great bonus. :)

Thanks for the feedfack everyone.  I know we will enjoy our stay, mainly because the resort is great.  Ijust feel awfully let down by both Thomas Cook AND the owners of the Mythos apartments.

Hi Tony,

You seem to have a lot of knowledge regarding the resort and various hotels/apartments, I feel a lot happier reading your comments.  Thanks a lot.

Regards,

Rod.

There's a few of us on this site that have built up a lot of knowledge over the years of going there,
and some who now live there now, that may be more up to date, being local.
However, between us - we should be able to give a pretty good idea of what to expect,
and your new Apartments are better than the first booking for sure!!
Very well placed in the resort, close to everything and I would say above average quality.
We are sure you will be pleased.
