Went to Forever Hotel Olu Deniz. Turkey

Pub crawl first night at hotel.. A woman danced with one of our party and her partner was fuming so I quietly informed the rep so she was aware of the worrying situation as she had a lot to drink and was dancing, She screamed right in my face - I left the bar. Returned 15 mins later to be abused again so left the group to try to find my way back. Naturally this really messed up the singles holiday .

MD gave platitudes but did not take it seriously.

I'm sure with come with a long explanation BUT when I told the hotel owner , he laughed. So the company have accepted this behaviour for a long time.

Date of experience: 26 September 2022

‘Friendship Travel, staying at H10 Lanzarote Princess Feb 2023' The customer service offered by the Friendship Travel team was Good, but the Host on the holiday with us was Excellent, always willing to go the extra mile and if he could do anything for you he would without any problem, the hotel food was good and the hotel Staff were Excellent always willing to go the extra mile. The only negative thing about the Hotel was the Freezing cold outside pool; I would have expected it to have been heated in the winter months? Like many others are in the local area that I have stayed at in the past... There was an outside heated very small pool covered with like plastic pvc poly carbonate sheets but it was pack and over crowded with kids jumping on top of you as you were trying swim, so my swimming pool experience was not so good. I have booked another holiday with Friendship Travel for June 2023 so you will see me again about that one Lol

4 day break over Christmas 2018 which was very expensive considering the standard of the holiday & hotel. My room was a small box with a window, no view, complimentary toiletries were not replenished daily, towels were grey & threadbare with holes & the bath moved when you got in.The host was pleasant but most of her time was spent looking after another guest. The trips were very expensive & not worth the money. 10 of us went on a walking tour of Marrakech (30 euros each) for 3 1/2 hours which included the hard sell carpet & pharmacy shops-someone is making a lot of money 300 euros for half a days walk!! The Moroccan evening entertainment trip was 56 euros & consisted of 50 minutes entertainment & a very poor quality meal. Most of the group were lovely which was the only saving grace.

Asked for ski holiday quote excluding flights as I was coming from Australia; I emailed I'd meet the group in Geneva, which the website specified as the destination ex-Gatwick for Tignes. Was provided this; tried to book and was then informed (after I've booked my flights) that they fly into Grenoble. No explanation. I ask for coverage of extra transfer - hear nothing for 3-days, then the holiday price has gone up by more than 50%, from GBS985 to GBS1445.

I went to Olhos D'agua in June for a week's holiday and had a great time. I don't know what some people expect after reading very negative reviews. I had no problems booking my holiday and found the admin staff to be friendly and helpful. It is not the problem of Friendship Travel if there are more women than men on these holidays, men traditionally are less likely to book singles holidays. On my holiday there was one male and seven females but it didn't matter in the slightest, everyone bonded and socialised together. It is more expensive to book a singles holiday but all singles companies are the same, not just Friendship Travel.

The hotel we stayed at in Portugal, the Oceanus, was not the best, very basic even for a 3 star and I wouldn't go back there. We were not in the main building but in an annexe next door, the main building rooms looked a lot better than the annexe ones. There was a cocktail bar in the basement of the main building but it was dark and dingy, why would you want to be there when the sun is still shining and you can be sitting outside with a drink. Breakfast was taken in the snack bar by one of the two small pools. Two of the guests in our party were quite ill after both had been swimming in the main pool. We ate out every evening in different restaurants and had some lovely food. Our host Cathy joined us every day except her one day off. The group all got on together and generally went off and did their own thing during the day but we all went out together every evening. I would recommend Olhos D'Agua as a resort, it's a small, very pretty place with a lovely beach and lots of really good restaurants and close to Albufeira and Villamoura for a change of scene but I wouldn't go back to the Oceanus. I believe that Friendship Travel are looking for alternative accommodation in that area now so it will be interesting to where they will be going next season. All in all I had a great time but you have to go with an open mind and be prepared to be sociable and not nit pick about your fellow travellers.

Loved my trip to lanzarote princess! great sized group

where i met some lovely people who i know will be friends with for life. The host was fabulous nothing was too much trouble.

This hotel is great in a good resort which is playa blanca, close to the beach, 2 pools, 3 bars etc. Would definately recomend friendship travel nothing is too much trouble! The booking process is so simple and always someone on hand to help! Cant wait for my next trip soon!!

I have just returned from The BodyHoliday in St Lucia and can use only one word - amazing. The resort itself is beyond fabulous with everything included - and I mean everything. Food, drinks, classes, treatments etc. The staff are on hand at all times to make sure you have the time of your life. The booking process was very easy with the staff at Friendship Travel having visited the resorts themselves - this always makes for the best advice and they really did know everything. The only downside was the long transfer on arrival - nearly 90 minutes. Maybe I'll have to opt for the helicopter transfer next time.

Just back from a fantastic ski holiday at Chalet Maya in Alpe D'Heuz. The food was great, location was great and loads of snow so conditions were perfect! Staff were always happy to help and know the area so well. This was my 1st time on holiday by myself but is the best holiday I've had in ages - I will definately be back next year! Thanks Friendship Travel!

Each year I stress myself worrying about what to do at Christmas, so this year I did my first single break at the Donnington Valley hotel. What a fab place, with a relaxing spa and indoor pool. Plenty of food and drink, lots of friendly people to mix with, and so much going on, I certainly didn't have time to get bored. It was the most fun ive had in years and wouldn't hesitate to do it again, and would love to back to that lovely hotel. I just wish I had known about it years ago.

My recent holiday with FT to Lanzarote was tainted by lies from the customer sales team on the number of people's booked on the triP and idiotic transfer times 4hrs before the flight. Don't go with FT unless you're 60 yrs plus. Most of the people who go with this company are generally retired. I hated this holiday as it's the group you're with who make the holiday great. Everyone else was over 60 bar me and went to bed at 1030. What a holiday . #absolutewasteofmoney
