Travelling with Children
Since we first became parents in March 2004, we have as a family, visited the Dominican Republic, Morocco, Portugal, Switzerland, France and Italy along with regular visits to the UK.
We have learned how to make travel much easier for ourselves over the past few years and want to help parents and their children enjoy the most relaxing and fun holiday ever.
- Many of the villas enjoy the benefit of a fenced in swimming pool, helping create a safer environment for those travelling with children who do not swim yet.
- We provide cool boxes in the villas for parents to take to the beach or on day trips, keeping perishables at a safe temperature.
- We provide complimentary pool/beach towels – keeping packing to a minimum.
- We provide beach umbrellas in the villas – helping protect delicate skin.
- All villas have a microwave and dishwasher – for added convenience.
- All villas which accept children have plastic crockery and cutlery.
- All villas where we have children booked will have a small selection of toys and games to enjoy whilst on holiday, we just need the sex and ages of the children to make sure the most appropriate toys can be provided.
- Cots, highchairs, changing mats and bottle sterilisers can be provided with our compliments and should be requested at time of booking.
For all villas on the Costa de la Luz, we can provide a shopping service for items which will make your life easier once you arrive at the villa. We will email you a list of popular items including milk powder, nappies, wipes, food and drink etc. You will email back your requirements and we will shop for you – adding just 10% to the bill for this service. Minimum shop must be at least 70euros.
Financial Security
The travel industrial has taken some serious knocks over the past few years, naturally shaking clients’ confidence.
We want to sleep well at night and want you as valued clients to do the same, thus we have not committed ourselves to any financial outlays which we cannot honour.
We work directly with the owner of all the properties, never via a 3rd party - keeping costs to a minimum and optimising communication. We have worked with the majority of the owners for close to a decade, building a relationship based on honour and professionalism.
We only pay the owners for the weeks in their villa(s) which we sell, thus we do not have to discount our holidays as we have are not forced to get rid of excess stock.
We do not commit to flight seats or car hire; and we run our office from our own home - again keeping our outgoings and risks to a minimum.
After years of working for larger companies, we have witnessed must waste and excess – learning from these examples as helped us manage a well run, tight ship.
For complete security our clients can pay by credit card via Pay Pal to ensure their money is protected. We would also highly recommend that clients book their flights using a credit card, again to protect their financial interests.
Essentially, we offer a personal service to a loyal group of clients who value quality over quantity, yet still recognise the importance of value for money and peace of mind when travelling. If you are looking for a ‘bargain’ or a ‘deal’ then we are probably not the company for you. Our aim is to continue to offer an excellent level of service to our clients and suppliers for many years to come.
