Thank you RoutePerfect for a fantastic holiday in Spain. We were extremely happy with all of the hotels, they were excellent. Every hotel we arrived at had all the details, payment information etc. not one problem wherever we went. Will absolutely recommend to everyone we speak to.

RoutePerfect was the answer we were looking for! The trip budget options and the the reviews of the hotels gave us a feeling for what to expect when we got there. Pricing was very manageable - we opted for a Moderate Trip, and we easily stayed within our own budget! The website was easy to use, auto or manual mode. The trip was made a lot easier by the simplified accommodation selection process and having our hotels pre-paid.
