Luxury Escapes

That seems to correlate with TA reviews. We just want a few days away with beach and pool so should do the trick.

The hotel has its own outdoor stage and two to three nights a week they do an outdoor buffet with a stage show. It’s quite enjoyable.

While massages are very cheap in DPS generally, when we stayed they offered a deal of six massages for $50.

Or for the true Aussie bogan experience, the all inclusive deal is also valid at the swim-up bar. Can you get through every coughtail on the list between opening time and closing?

Currently on a LE deal on the gold coast. The promised breakfast hamper with fruit and flaky pastries was a bit of a letdown.

I plan on it. It's certainly not what I'd describe as a breakfast hamper. Some fresh bread, milk and a box of muesli wouldn't have cost much.

We've booked our first LE for easter - Kewarra Beach Resort. No additional charge for the easter period, def cheaper than direct or with any of the other online sites and an email from the resort within an hour giving us some resort info, asking about arrival time, if we needed a car etc. Looking forward to both the stay, and trying out LE.

Mastercard has a discount credits page for LE.

Was looking at booking a stay at the Kempinski Singapore. The AU discount code has been exhausted but if you book via the SG site of LE there is a $140 credit available if you meet certain spend criteria. The query I have is would you then be liable to pay the 17% GST+Service Charge at the hotel? I'm assuming if you book via the AU website this would not be charged.

Sent feedback to the hotel and LE; while the hamper was fine, it wasnt as described. LE have coughed up a credit voucher to use on a future booking.

I have followed the LE advertising for a long time now and we booked our first adventure earlier this year. We had a week in the Maldives via one of their all inclusive promotions followed by 3 nights in Singapore on the return trip. It was seamless, everything was organised as we had been informed including the bit of a "cut-lunch & a water bag" trip to get there which consisted of flights Per-Sin, Sin to Male, domestic flight Male to South Ari Atoll and finally speedboat to the resort itself. We were met and escorted all the way.
It is my belief that the special was available as the main swimming pool was under renovation and unavailable while we were there. However, we were given access to the pool at "The Club" but we didn't go to the Maldives in an overwater villa to swim in a pool. We had the whole Indian Ocean at the base of our verandah steps.
We found both deals quite good and lacking for nothing.
We would definitely use LE again.

A relo booked and paid for a walking holiday btw Christmas and New Years from Launceston. They have booked airfares and are out of pocket $800 incl a night in a hotel. 10 days before departure, LE cancelled it and offered a refund of just the walking holiday. It was to be a special Birthday celebration too.

What reason was given for the cancellation?

The tour turned out to be fully booked 2 weeks after they’d paid for the tour and booked airfares and hotel.
The ACCC site says speak to NSW Fair Trading. They said claim on TI. Still waiting to hear what the outcome is at the moment.

Have never been to CHC, but this deal seems a bit exy, it looks good as a junior suite and all that, and may interest some. Is it well located to the action for just wandering? Award-Winning Stay in the Heart of Christchurch , Christchurch, New Zealand
