Written by the company

Neilson offers a range of award-winning overseas active holidays across seven countries, including beach clubs, ski chalets and yachts. There aren't many companies where 7 out of 10 of our guests return to relive the experience again, and again. Mind you, there aren't many holiday companies like Neilson. In part it's because we're in some of Europe's most beautiful locations - across Greece, Sardinia, Croatia and Turkey - and now Mauritius. All our activities are inclusive, likewise the delicious, locally sourced food. And in part it's because of how a Neilson holiday makes you feel. Our holidays are a unique alchemy; the enthusiasm of amazing guests and the dedication of equally amazing staff; a willingness to give it a go now and have a laugh about it later. We call it good energy and you'll feel it the moment you walk into any of our resorts.

Straightforward booking experience

Straightforward website and we knew exactly what we were looking for anyway, so easy. Only knocked a star off as they didn’t advertise the fact that Saturday departures were available for 2027

Booking issue quickly resolved!

Although I had an initial problem with payment going through (money left my account but didn’t reach Neilsons!), the team kindly held my booking for me for a couple of days until issue was resolved

Bad booking experience -again.

.Advertise 3 week holidays on line.
.allow room selection upon booking
.don't expect customers to 'book a specific room from a list months later and charge more
. Be upfront about ' early bird deals" what exactly is it.... what exact rooms???? What discount???
. Don't make booking a miserable experience, with more actions required months later.....
.give a real discount for an early booking
.don't charge so much for a deposit.
.don't have robotic staff

Clear website - help on hand when difficulties arose

Clear website - easy to find what we needed.
Dropped a star because on check out we received an error message and it wasn’t clear the booking went through (though the money was taken from the credit card). To be fair the website told us what to do and who to call - and the helpline assistant was great and answered our questions promptly.

Fabulous holiday

Fabulous holiday, great for all members of our multi generational family. Would book again in a heartbeat. So much to do, food great and all the staff were so attentive and made our holiday super special. The kids club team were so good with our granddaughter- she didn’t want to come home.

Website is very easy to navigate

Website is very easy to navigate, was recommended to Nelson’s from good friends and looking forward to seeing how good they are.

Only criticism couldn’t get enough details about flights as would have liked to book 2 seats together and possibly upgrade as our flight is 11-12 hours

Exceptional resort and holiday!

The resort was brilliant - clean and spacious accomodation, and so many facilities to try all sorts of different activities. The food quality and variety at the hotel was exceptional. So good, we have already booked to go back next year!!
