Wonderful to be back on pilgrimage

Over all a well organised experience, although one or two hick-ups with the youth section and their travel.

Wonderful

We had a great holiday from start to finish the only problem was at Newcastle airport with local staff levels below the required numbers to disembark the people who required help and this was the only poor part of what was otherwise a fantastic holiday

Quite expensive for what we got

Although we had a lovely time on the pilgrimage, the situation left a lot to be desired with regard to meal times. When you are a captive audience you hope that the food provided meets expectations. It did not. We opted to go vegetarian this year as last year the bland meat meals left a lot to be desired. Being vegetarian left even more. There was little planning with mainly just the bit of meat removed from the plate. We were not allowed ...

Although we had a lovely time on the pilgrimage, the situation left a lot to be desired with regard to meal times. When you are a captive audience you hope that the food provided meets expectations. It did not. We opted to go vegetarian this year as last year the bland meat meals left a lot to be desired. Being vegetarian left even more. There was little planning with mainly just the bit of meat removed from the plate. We were not allowed access to the full breakfast buffet so there was no hot food for our party. There were nowhere near enough serving staff at mealtimes (often just one poor harassed individual) so mealtimes went on forever. In the end we ended up eating out a lot of times thus paying for our meals a second time - not good value for money. Overall the hotel is not good value for money based on how miserable mealtimes made people. There is much to be improved there.

Rating for tour operator:

We did not have a lot of contact with our tour operator so I cannot rate them any higher. However, their liaison with Ryanair to get our assisted pilgrims boarded at both ends of the flight was inadequate and therefore some assisted pilgrims had a traumatic time. This is not good enough.

Tangney Tours responded to this review on 29 Sep 2023:

thank you for your feedback. This hotel has been used for many years by the pilgrims and they have always thoroughly enjoyed it. We also visit the hotel each day during meal times to ensure everything is going to plan. We would have been delighted to discuss the matter directly with you if you had raised it in resort.

Thank you for this. Ryanair was specifically selected by your group leaders. However they did not do a good job.

Overall the pilgrimmage was lovely, but I was stressed about having no luggage and had to find replacements, borrow off friends.

It was a lovely pilgrimage, great hotel. decent weather. All overshadowed by having none of my belongings and indication of when or if it might arrive.

My luggage never arrived at Lourdes airport and while the staff from Tangney asssisted me to report it they didn't offer much other help.

Great Customer Service

It was wonderful. The hotel was clean. The food was delicious at all times. The staff were very friendly. The weather was warm and sunny most of the time.
