Welcome to San Stefanos (NW Corfu) > Where to stay

Has Thomsons dropped Tsaros Apartments ?

I ignore the"one room left" message. If I want the deal, I book it. If I am not sure, I leave it. If Thomson ever really annoy me, I will simply stop using them. No point supporting a company you do not trust or like. Many hotels etc in SS have rooms which they let privately, hence no need to use a tour operator. Many people argue that this the best way to visit SS. At the end of the day, it's your money, and you can spend how you wish.

IrisG:
Since when has a company making a profit been a bad thing?
These companies employ hundreds of people, both in the UK and all of the
other countries in which they operate.
I have always used either Thomas Cook or Thomsons for our holidays, and have never had cause to complain. As has been said, if you're flying from Scottish airports then this is the best value option.

Rover:
Well IrisG, this looks like it could be fun! I totally agree with you, and once again add, if you don't like them, don't use them!

Jules:
Have always used Thomsons as we couldn't get accomodation and flights for what we pay for a package. Never had any complaints apart from when the accommodation you want shows as not available but then miraculously it re appears at another date. This happened when I was booking for next year. Teresa suddenly was not showing in the Thomsons brochure so I booked it through Holiday Hypermarket who are part of TUI. Since then Teresa is now showing as being back in Thomsons brochure. Apparently it was down toThomsons and the owners not being able to agree on next years contract. Alls well that ends well :)

We booked Barras for a week in late June 48 hours before travelling (ex-Birmingham) when showing "one room left".  Re-checked after booking and sure enough  it had gone from the website from all airports never to reappear.  Frankly it was a bargain especially as the booking showed a studio and we actually got the famous room 102 - far and away the best room we've had in San Stef but we would have been happy in a tent in the field at the back at the price.  Intended to review Barras on here when we returned but we're still confused, we're not comfortable with giving it rave reviews yet we had our best holiday yet in San Stef there and we haven't worked out why ourselves.   

Heck, there's some thread drift here but do know the Tsaros/Thomson story from the San Stef end, it's only one side of the story but Thomsons was a four letter word during our stay in the village but those of us who have to book very late have no other option.    We paid less including the room than we could book flight only on the same day, it was less even the same flight on ThomsonFly!  Just haven't a clue what Thomson's business model is, if they even have one.
