Advantages: Fab hotel, Fab location in quiet, safe harbour Disadvantages: Not 5 star, and not 'all inclusive'
Anyone deciding to venture out to Rhodes has a lovely trip ahead of them - our hotel of choice, the Atlantica Imperial Hotel, was fantastic and the location was stunning. However, despite Thomson advertising their 'Gold' holidays as a 5 star 'all inclusive' option, my partner and I felt that our trip was, on many occasions, not at all '5 star' and more importantly, distinctly not 'all inclusive'.
The holiday cost us over £2,000 for the week and yet despite treating ourselves to a luxury 'all inclusive' break, we found ourselves hounded with 'little extras' added on to our final bill:
1. Sunbeds we found finding a sunbed around the pool area impossible (unless you are prepared to get up at 6am every morning to reserve one), so spent most of our time on the beach - where sunbeds are not free! 6 euros per day for two sunbeds ...

Advantages: Lots of Choice, lots to do Disadvantages: Not many free child places.
We decided that we wanted a summer holiday abroad this year and picked up a Thomson Brochure. Thomson are a well known holiday operator and have been operating for as long as I can remember. Since they opened a Lunn Poly near us we have been picking up their brochures instead of the usual JMC ones.
Thomson offer a variety of holidays such as Superfamily, Gold, Platinum, summer sun, a la carte, small and friendly, faraway shores, Greece, turkey, cruise, alfresco, Florida, freestyle, weddings in paradise, beach club. The Superfamily one interested me as it was all geared at a family holiday. They choose so many hotels with families being in mind and often these hotels or apartments are where families only can go or for couples only. They also own Skytours so when you get to your destination you will find the Thomson staff grouped ...
Advantages: Sweet picture Disadvantages: just can't take the bass
Go 5 to 10 yrs back and who had heard of Thomson?
Well that was then and this is now. Thomson are up there with the best. Whilst they can never probably cope with Sony there is an opportunity for them to make their mark on the market.
Having recently bought one from Comet to accompany my new DVD player, (a lovely little pansonic number) both in matching silver to go with that whole silver 00's thing and thus less dust on our screens and especially on the top of them. I now sing their praises.
Excellent picture, excellent sprung door unit, tasteful design, good quality sound through the ranges until you hit the bass. Now if there is anything to moan about it has to be the bass. It then starts to sound like an earth tremor from the San Andreas fault. If they could sort this out then it would be an absolute superb TV.
