OK to be fair we all got this on a living social voucher at a very cheap price with a condition we had to listen to a timeshare deal. All in all the hotel is run down and in need of some TLC. We found staff to be generally friendly, buffett breakfast to be good and our room although quite... More

Just left our Hotel one morning with Wife and 13 year old son when we were flagged down by a English speaking German called 'Claude'. Riding his moped and adorned in his gold chains he was giving away scratch cards for 'Free'. On the cards 'Claude' was touting he was offering an I pad, a Blackberry, a credit card with... More

Same as all of the other reviews. Scam prize, scam time. Same script as everyone else. There's a great episode of South Park which describes this set-up.

However at many points during the 90 min presentation (admittedly, yes it was much longer than 90 min) he made it clear that we... More

I was given a scratch card by some girls who told me I had won a prize and to claim it all i had to do was sit through a 90 min presentation to promote Absolute Hotels. They said I didn't have to buy it if I didn't like it, just to listen and spread the word around about Absolute.... More

While on holliday with my family in Phuket, we were aproached by the friendly face of a pretty young girl offering us a free trip to one of the Islands ( Phi Phi) and a fee weeks stay back in Thailand, all we had to do was spend 90 mins with Absolute while they gave us a presentation. They had... More
