My family and I love to travel. We plan our "museum" vacation ourselves, booking flights and hotels through I-net. But beach holidays are usually cheaper through travel agencies - charters are much cheaper than regular flights, and a hotel is not always cheaper directly. In December, we decided to go with friends to Sri Lanka. We chose the Flower Garden Hotel based on the reviews of foreign tourists (the Germans usually really appreciate). The price with breakfast and dinner suited us very much, the territory is a Garden of Eden! We turned to the agency "All Inclusive" to Yulia Adamenko, she booked the named hotel and flight for us. Got a deposit for the tickets. And then it turns out that the hotel reservation was not confirmed. As it turned out later, there was a queue of people who wanted to enter this small hotel. . . In principle, we didn’t want to go to another hotel and we decided collectively to refuse the trip. But Yulia said that this was impossible, in any case she had to buy tickets worth about 10 thousand dollars. We took pity on the girl and began to choose other hotels that she suggested to us. One, for example, was at the cemetery and well. d. :) in general, with grief in half, we chose The Palms in Bentota, which with breakfast only was 20% more expensive than our first choice with HB. We paid for the entire tour and with trepidation began to wait for the documents. We received tickets before departure, a voucher for a hotel, insurance in our names but with the wrong address and no contract! It’s useless to find out something :( Having prayed, we left and the jokes immediately began: the plane took off for Dubai after 5 hours, landed in Doha in the middle of the night. Only in the morning we got to Dubai and naturally missed the flight to Colombo. "Thank you" Fly Dubai gave a hotel near the airport , where we are without things, but at least we washed and had lunch. We took a tour of the city - super! We returned to the airport by 19-00 because our flight to Colombo was supposed to be at 21-45. But we flew out at 1-30 at night. It turns out Fly Dubai is famous for such disruptions in the schedule and travel agents are well aware of this and try to send their tourists with another carrier.But this is not about "All Inclusive!" In Kyiv, we paid for an individual transfer to the hotel - we achieved it in only 3-4 hours! Before that, they called Yulia and asked to control.Yes, and at the cost of the transfer - we paid for 1 person as for a taxi in one direction. In general, it was not necessary! 2.5 days without sleep and change of clothes is a magical start to the holiday. Meeting Roman from the company Join Up deserves a separate story - a rare slacker who did not organize anything! Julia made us pay for Christmas dinner at $ 125 per person, supposedly Join Up does not allow otherwise. It is interesting that other guests of the hotel paid $40 on the spot, although dinner was not worth this money either. For you to understand, we celebrated a birthday there for 12 people with lobsters, king prawns, beer and fresh juices for $ 150. In general, there were no 2 days of rest, but no one offered us to compensate for this :) with what - the contract was prudently not drawn up! Therefore, in summary - be careful in choosing a travel agent and a carrier company: I do not recommend Fly Dubai, Join up and All inclusive. The country of Sri Lanka is magical, the Sri Lankans are nice people, but do not rush with a travel agent, it is better to work with trusted people.

Well, I don't know, I don't know. For some reason it seems to me (I am baptized) that you are either lying, or at least not finishing something!
What kind of ticket deposit is this? It's like you gave your hard-earned money without a contract? Who in Ukraine sells vouchers without paying for the New Year or Christmas festivities? This is such a pity that a company of 10 people for 10 thousand dollars. vacation in Sri Lanka.
Oh, it seems to me (I am baptized again) that it is your cheerful gopkompaniya that bypassed a certain number of agencies in order to relax at a cheaper price and with the thought: “what should the agency pay for? we will choose everything ourselves! somehow divorced this manager, the consequence of which was the payment for Christmas dinner at the expense of the agency commission. BUT? And when the manager realized this, he refused to be responsible for your gratuitous trip and, accordingly, to sign an agreement with you. If so, then bravo, I applaud standing - a cheap vacation was a success! As they say, they fought for something and ran into it. I just don't understand why you are unhappy?

Vadim, 10 thousand dollars only for air tickets for 10 people, of course, the ticket is more expensive! And of course we chose a cheaper option, our first option with the Flower Garden hotel was generally optimal, but it didn’t happen :( Of course, we called several agencies, but not everyone could offer the chosen hotel. And the price for All Inclusive at Flower Garden was normal. But when the hotel was not confirmed, the manager began to breed us to other hotels, since the tickets were booked and she could no longer refuse, otherwise the tour operator would not work with her.Since the All Inclusive travel agency is located in our house, we treated her with confidence - the neighbors are all That's why they gave money for booking tickets and then for the trip without expecting a dirty trick.The manager said that she didn't earn anything for 5 of us, but this turned out to be WRONG!Starting with the cost of the "individual" transfer and ending with the Christmas dinner.That's why to lie The manager made money on 5 tourists, but they didn’t receive contracts either! Two more from the group (there were 12 of us) bought a tour to our hotel with our flight, but in Nikolai ve - they were charged cheaper in principle, including for dinner, and their manager earned his agency money on them. And the Odessans, whom we met at the hotel, paid for the Christmas dinner on the spot. And about our gratuitous vacation, you turned down a lot, we met tourists in our hotel who paid $ 700 for a flight, 8 days' accommodation and HB, and not breakfast, like ours. Those. such an option is possible apparently according to the burning option. But there were 12 of us, so we started preparations in advance.
Another couple who flew with us for 2 nights was compensated for the inconvenience by extending their stay at the hotel and rescheduling their return flight. I don’t know what kind of operator they had, but obviously not Join up. Fly Dubai sometimes flies better - a delay of only 3 hours made it possible to fly to Dubai from Boryspil. So how lucky.
