    In addition to the extra holiday discount of £25/£50/£100 they launched yesterday?

  • Alan says:
    4 Sep4 September 07:54

    Not great timing with lots of those destinations going back on the Welsh and Scottish quarantine lists!

    • Roger* says:
      4 Sep4 September 08:13

      How many of those destinations have BA Holidays service from Wales or Scotland?

      I clicked through and found a number of offers starting from 2-night stays. For those able to gamble with the risk of an extra 2 weeks at home, I’d say this offer was attractive.

    • Roberto says:
      4 Sep4 September 08:20

      I priced PineCliffs and flying in from the UK plus accomadation is pretty much the same price as accomadation only direct from Marriott.

      I can just drive there in 4 hours with no quarantine of course but walking the tightrope from the UK with quaranting or not makes a visit to this property unappealing even under this offer.

      • Harry T says:
        4 Sep4 September 09:09

        Pine Cliffs was very busy when I was there last week. Good for families, I think, but we weren’t super keen as a young couple. In all fairness, we did only stay one night.

      • Andrew says:
        4 Sep4 September 10:39

        In that case, if you bank with Lloyds, Halifax, BoS or Santander, then they have a 15% funds return offer for many customers for booking until the end of October.

        Funds return *and* points is always a good option.

        • roberto says:
          4 Sep4 September 10:51

          Checked and not for me unfortunately..

        • Harry T says:
          4 Sep4 September 11:08

          If I open a bank account with LBG in the next week, what do you reckon my chances are of receiving a Marriott offer soon after? Does it takes a while for offers to show up?

          • Andrew says:
            4 Sep4 September 11:46

            The offers are very dynamic. The more you use your debit card, the more offers you get. Using my card daily in the staff canteen plus some regular spending gets me about 20 offers. That’ll quickly drop down to 10 or so as offers expire and aren’t renewed if I go off on holiday for a fortnight and don’t use it.

            Can’t promise what you’ll end up with or how the tranches of offers are distributed though. I think it’s the first time Marriott has been on it. Hilton and IHG appear fairly regularly. Apex has been a recent addition too.

          • Harry T says:
            4 Sep4 September 13:02

            Thanks for the explanation. I may hold out and see if an amex offer turns up.

    • Roger* says:
      4 Sep4 September 08:29

      Simon Calder has just shown on TV the differences between Scots, Welsh and English passengers all arriving at LHR on the same flight. Welsh have to go straight home and stay there for 2 weeks. Scots can go home by 04:00 tomorrow to remain ‘free’. English can do what they want. What a mess!

      • Andrew says:
        4 Sep4 September 10:37

        The relevant Governments, media and others really must stop using these terms. It’s no wonder people are confused.

        As a Scot, I would not need to quarantine if I came off that flight.

        Likewise my Welsh colleague would not need to quarantine if they came off that flight. He’d have to stay in his Reading flat at the weekend instead of going back to Brecon as usual.

        My English sister-in-law, would have to quarantine when she got back home to Edinburgh. Or would she?

        • John says:
          4 Sep4 September 12:08

          The Welsh guy would have to stay in Reading (or anywhere in England or NI) for 14 days to avoid quarantine. If he went to Brecon before the 14 days were up he would need to quarantine from arriving at home in Wales until the end of the 14th calendar day after that flight.

        • Charlieface says:
          4 Sep4 September 13:52

          As a general rule, most English live in England, Scots in Scotland etc. Presumably it’s just become a short way of saying where someone is resident rather than birthplace or passport

  • Roger* says:
    4 Sep4 September 08:17

    Please tell me these offers count in the Platinum status challenge! 🤫

    • Roger* says:
      4 Sep4 September 08:19

      Sorry, wrong smiley. 🤔

    • TGLoyalty says:
      4 Sep4 September 08:41

      3rd party booking won’t count

      I know some of these properties were offering €50 credit a night until end of September via Marriott so perhaps they will end that too

  • Chelseafi says:
    4 Sep4 September 08:26

    I booked 5N Domes Miramare via BA holidays just before 2/9 they offered 40% off, free HB worth £384, €50 credit PN worth £223 plus the double Avios points. Staying early Oct 2A plus upgraded to Pavilion Retreat with Haute Living total £1400.

  • Colin MacKinnon says:

    Resort hotels: like grounded cruise ships.

    I’m obviously not the only one who is thinking that.

    • ken says:
      4 Sep4 September 15:19

      A hotel with 120 rooms is like a cruise ship ?

      I doubt it somehow.

      The reluctance to book is surely due to the fact that unless you are travelling in the next week, there is a high risk that your holiday country will be on the self isolate naughty step by the time you travel.

      • Colin MacKinnon says:
        4 Sep4 September 21:34

        One of the first cruise ships to get Covid after lockdown was Seadream in Norway. Been on it a couple of times, just 100 passengers and about 90 crew.
        So not a mega ship.

  • Harry T says:
    4 Sep4 September 09:10

    I stayed at Penha Longa last week and I can’t recommend it highly enough. I booked a four nights for three STARS offer through Emyr, which may still be going.

    • TGLoyalty says:
      4 Sep4 September 09:20

      I was looking but don’t fancy a 2 week quarantine as I have plans here in the UK.

      • Harry T says:
        4 Sep4 September 10:12

        Yeah, I wouldn’t have travelled this week. Numbers are too high – it’ll come off the exemption list within a couple of weeks.

    • Doreen says:
      4 Sep4 September 11:06

      Penha L looks lovely – was the indoor pool open ?

      • Harry T says:
        4 Sep4 September 11:11

        The indoor pool and the two outdoor pools were open. One of the outdoor pools is adults only. The indoor pool often had a lot of children in it when I stayed so I didn’t try it out.

        The hotel has excellent service and the entire area is utterly spectacular. I can recommend the Japanese buffet at Spices on Saturdays, and the tasting menu with wine pairing at LAB. Drinks in the bar are also excellent. I did not manage to try Midori.

  • Erico1875 says:
    4 Sep4 September 09:19

    The RC Abama is actually as low as £610pp in November

  • Paul Hickey says:
    4 Sep4 September 12:08

    Thanks for the heads up Rob – booked a week in Santorini month end. Couldn’t add MAN connections but did so via separate avios booking.
    PS: also booked via Emyr for Athens next week at the Hyatt – an amazing deal.
