Where do you book Opal Sands?

We are looking to book Opal sands for a couple of nights next June and I am looking for some advice on where to get the best price. Are there any advantages through booking direct or are we best to do Hotels.com or something?

Perhaps ask the moderators to move this post into the Accomodation thread and it might get more answers.

They are worth 3x the value. We are holding out as long as possible to book - by next January we should have about £200 of vouchers which will take off £600.

Never done that before and don't know how. Should I just press the report button and ask that way?

Sorry about the delay in my reply - yes sophiepop thats exactly what you can do there will be a little box where you can explain what you are doing. Hope you get booked at Opal Sands - it looks a lovely hotel.

In answer to your question, may as well use Hotels.com as I don't believe there are any benefits from booking direct (unless you get a better price). All rooms face the sea, so all will have good views.
We've stayed there, was a real good experience, but felt the staff could have been a bit more welcoming - didn't seem to get the friendly experience for such a top grade hotel - I guess you are paying for the views.

We booked direct with no deposit and a much cheaper rate than hotels.com cancellable rate.

It’s free to cancel up to 1 week before arrival. At that point they take 1 night’s deposit.
