Another great booking experience

Another great booking experience. Plenty of options to choose from, secured my choice of venue easily. Secret Escapes offer a wide range of options, prices and location. Would highly recommend choosing them for your next trip.

We booked this deal at the last moment the deal was good and the hotel was lovely. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating. We had a lovely stay with our furry baby. The hotel was very pet friendly.

We have booked some 30 short UK breaks

We have booked some 30 short UK breaks, over the last 8 years, through Secret Escapes. All have been very good or excellent. They have been good value.
Daily emails are very easy to navigate and book. My account works well. We have 3 short breaks booked over the next 3 months and are looking forward to them.
We have yet to book an overseas holiday through S.E.

Easy booking process

The booking process was extremely easy and quick with Secret Escapes especially when compared with some other booking sites. We have used Secret Escapes for several years for both UK and European breaks.

Hotel Consistency

I have been using secret escapes for many years and I have not once been disappointed with the quality and consistency of the hotels we have booked. Paying for the hotel upfront is not a problem for us, because on the infrequent occasions we had to cancel, credits have been available. The booking system is very user friendly.

Repeat booking

This is the second time we have used this site. The first booking was a hotel which made us welcome and had a very enjoyable experience.
Easy to book and a few welcome extras thrown in is a bonus.

Beware !!!!!

We made an error on the website and were made to pay full balance it was only booked for 5 minutes and they took £990 from us and said it was our mistake we couldnt have a refund. We asked to speak to a manager or supervisor and the agent from South Africa said the manager is on holiday for 10 days. Im the only person you can speak to and you've lost your money simple as that. Absolutely disgusting customer service. !!!!!!

Excellent holiday at Club Maspalomas

Excellent holiday at Club Maspalomas in Gran Canaria. The booking process was straightforward and the accommodation was superb.
The flights and transfers worked as planned. Although no transfer voucher was received, which caused a little concern, it was resolved by Secret Escapes.
