Neilson Active Holidays Reviews 

Easy to see options for holidays and dates. Some are reasonably priced (bed and breakfast), others super expensive. Neilson has gone up hugely in cost since taken over by private equity. Would benefit from a lot more photos, especially of bedrooms.

Very helpful and efficient from booking the holiday to adding travellers details. Good value for mo ey

Had a fantastic 2 weeks at the Buca beach club. Facilities and food were great. Staff were great. Have already booked for next year.

we went to vounaki as a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children age 2 and 5.
We had a brilliant week, the staff were all fantastic, a special mention to the kids club team, who were full of energy and enthusiasm, and worked tirelessly to entertain the children. Erin (manager)Lia, Cory, Lois and Bobby were super accommodating and our children loved being on their groups.
The food was great, as we're the restaurant staff, a waiter who stood out to us was Anastasis, always very helpful.
All activities and staff were great too.
The room was a bit tired, lots of space but not much storage for clothes, but still spotlessly clean and you aren't in the room enough to worry.
We did end up booking an alternative flight for returning home as the standard Neilson one was a night time flight which wouldn't have worked well with our kids. Again the GSM Scott was very helpful here and got us on a transfer bus to the airport.
Overall a great holiday, would recommend to couples and families.

Booked what we wanted but as flight prices are live our group of friends going together all booked the same day against the same quote reference but all paid increasingly higher prices as the day when by as popularity of the flights grew during the day as we all started booking which seemed a bit strange .

It was easy to book. I like the room choices and ditterent flight times.

Stress free holiday, everything sorted

So well looked after by the fantastic Greek staff and also Neilson staff. The food is absolutely wonderful not your average buffet. All beautifully presented. The chefs really take a pride in all they do. Activities very well organised in all disciplines. Well done Neilson. Back next year. Thank you.

Neilson Sardinia. The Neilson activities crew are great fun and really helpful, covering so many activities, and very good for children, from really quite young upwards with their own activities crew as well! Food superb on the four inclusive nights, and though buffet style, there is lots of variety! Thought excellent for families, and with children, couples and friends together, less so for singles on their own, in my week anyway! Pretty quiet after 9.00pm, though there are organised events like a Salsa evening at the pool bar! Being a bit shy I did not venture there on my own! Also, there is a ‘social’ table on the inclusive meal nights, no one on it for my first two to three nights! No ‘host’ on it either. However, a head waiter told me that on my week it was quite quiet, but it had been lively on previous ones! On the ‘meeting’ at the pool bar for new arrivals, we were advised about restaurants for eating out on the non inclusive meal nights, like walking around the bay, or taking a taxi, to other restaurants, as the resort is fairly secluded! So far I have stayed in the resort and had evening meal in on these non inclusive nights, and paid for by being put on a tab. Most things paid by putting onto a tab, like at the pool bar, and paid at the end of one’s stay, or earlier! Highlights for me were definitely the Beach activities with dinghies, ‘cats’, windsurfers, kayaks and paddle boards available, along with teaching sessions for different experiences, with rescue motor boats always on hand, and not forgetting the beautiful views! There are plenty of dedicated sun loungers and parasols for Neilson guests on the beach, and poolside too! Lovely sea swimming area , shallow enough for supervised 3 years upwards I would say! The edges of the beach had ‘sea grass’ on them, not sea weed I was told, and fine to walk through! I also saw that the area for yoga and other types of sessions in the wooded area were very popular too! Tennis was also very popular, and there is a great cycling team, with some e bikes as well! Even on my own though I still thoroughly enjoyed myself, and depends on what one wants! Another joy is having a lovely air conditioned room to nip back into, all of them being on one level in bungalows, not far from the restaurant, and of course a great fresh water swimming pool, wonderful for after sea swimming!

Eva was very patient, professional and enthusiastic and made the process very smooth

Straightforward booking process thus far.

Very easy to book and very helpful lady at Neilson

Helpful, courteous , professional and knowledgeable staff when booking ( EVA Carmichael) . Always a great company to deal with

This going to be our 4th visit to Messini, can't fault anything about it. We are drawn back by the tennis coaches particularly head coach Cam. Makes my Week.

Professional, friendly & efficient.

I would like to put a window of dates and say 7 days within that window- the +/- didn't seem to work as well.as I hoped. Maybe just me
Also I would have liked to specify adult only - option dudnt seem to be there.
Bit overly critical sorry!
