have had a few sun holidays not had a truly awful one, but the last one the caarvan wasn't the nicest.

Funny thing was we did a daily mail one to the same site in July and the van was fab, so we was mega excited on arrival in Oct. Was a big let down. But like i said the van was ok, but as we only slept in it so we survived, esp as it was only fri - mon break.

been doing SUN holidays since 2006 ,we go to France now mainly but have done a few UK sites

ALWAYS check out how much you will be saving !!

as often if you can go during term time you won't make much / any saving . But the European sites, and during school holidays you will always make a saving by booking with the SUN

and don't forget to check out reviews

always lots of threads on SUN holidays on moneysavingexpert.com forums

We've had 4 sun holidays now, and they have all been really good holidays. Devon Cliffs we got a nice caravan, Looe Bay was the best caravan we ever got, it was brand new and massive!! But just come back from Woolacombe bay holiday park and the caravan was basic and old but ok to use as a base. We never get the linen, when the confirmation comes, ring them up and ask them to take it off unless you want it but it costs around £17. Also we only have 3 in our family and although you to pay for a min of 4 people for accomodation, you don't have to pay for 4 entertainment passes so we always get them to take off one pass, this makes it a lot cheaper.  The main thing is if you think of the caravan as a base then anything else is a bonus but a van should be habitable so if you get mould and dirt or things arn't livable then complain. I always think that these companies want you to come back and they want you back at full price so they should be aiming to impress. Personally, I will be sticking with Haven or Park Dean holiday parks as these seem to have more up to date accomodation.

Another tip of which we have yet to try is to get someone to save tokens for you or book your hol online then book another hol by post using the same vouchers, try to go for parks close by and book one 3 night and one 4 night so dates are concurrent then you will get a two centre holiday for 1 week.
