I will never use on the beach again
I will never use on the beach again. The list was completely wrong. The hotel we went to was listed as a "short stroll to the beach" and had a picture of the beach beside the hotel, it was photoshopped. The beach is 15mins on a bus, 10 mins in taxi, and you cannot walk to it, as the hotel is on a cliff edge and the beach is 600 meter drop. 1km away as the crow flys.
On top of this we booked a suite with 2 rooms, yet when we arrived, we found it was 2 separate rooms, not 2 joined rooms, not 2 rooms in a suite, young family split up.
I contacted onthebeach and it has to be the worse customer care, even trying to get them, chat is ai bot, the WhatsApp is 2 days for a response. Calls ? They dont take calls, when i did get someone they tried to blame hotel, but it wasnt hotels fault, it was the listing onbeach website that was wrong.
Complete mess, and they would not take any responsibility

We also appreciate your comments regarding the location of the beach and your experience contacting our customer support team.
The information on our website is provided by our accommodation suppliers, and while we make every effort to ensure it's accurate, we take feedback like yours seriously and will review it with the relevant teams where necessary.
We're sorry to hear you felt we didn't take responsibility for your concerns. If your complaint is still ongoing, we'd like the opportunity to review your case again. Please send us your booking reference via private message so we can look into the matter and ensure your concerns have been fully considered.

Hi There,
We're very sorry to read about your experience and to hear what you've been through.
It's particularly concerning to hear that you were targeted by a scam after trying to find a contact number. Unfortunately, fraudsters sometimes impersonate well-known companies online, and we're sorry this happened to you. You did the right thing by contacting your bank and securing your accounts.
We're also sorry to hear about the confusion regarding your booking and the difficulty you've experienced trying to get the support you needed. We'd like the opportunity to look into this for you and review what has happened.
Please send us your booking reference via private message, and a member of our team will investigate your concerns and help clarify your booking. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope we can help resolve the matter as quickly as possible. - On The Beach.
On the beach after care in resort is really poor
On the beach pass any complaints back to the airline and hotel. Whilst they take your money they don’t take responsibility. In my experience I WOULD NOT use On the Beach.

While some issues, such as flight operations or certain aspects of hotel services, may require information or investigation from the airline or accommodation provider, we understand how important it is to keep our customers informed and supported throughout the process.
We're sorry if this wasn't your experience. If there's an unresolved issue relating to your booking, we'd be happy to review it. Please send us your booking reference via private message so we can take another look.

Hey There,
We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand why this has been frustrating.
We're sorry to hear there was unexpected confusion regarding your travel dates. Changes to flight schedules can occasionally occur, and these are made by the airline rather than by us. However, we appreciate that clear communication is important, and we're sorry if you felt this wasn't provided.
We're also sorry to hear you found it difficult to get in touch with us. We'd like the opportunity to review your booking and the circumstances surrounding the date change. Please send us your booking reference via private message so a member of our team can investigate this for you.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to look into your concerns and assist further. - On The Beach.

We're so glad we could quickly resolve the flight time change and ensure your hotel arrangements were well taken care of. Thank you for your kind words!
Very easy booking process
Very easy booking process, I booked to pay in installments and was afraid I'd spend the money before the dates so paid installments early with no penalties for that. They were very helpful answering enquiries about adding on a person to my booking midway through payment plan giving me multiple options. Non-Hotel (resort) was exactly as described and very pleasant, unfortunately for us we got burned Day 1 so although we didn't get out much we were very content in our bungalow

Hi,
Thanks for your review.
We're sorry to hear you've had difficulty getting in touch. If you have a request for your stay, such as having your rooms close together or requesting a higher or lower floor, this is something that the hotel allocates and is best placed to assist with directly.
While room requests can't be guaranteed, contacting the hotel before you travel gives them the best opportunity to accommodate them where possible.
We hope you and your family have a fantastic holiday.
Kind regards,
The On the Beach Team
