Our Editor’s Review:
They have some interesting deals. Rather than a boring 10% OFF discount, we found a “FREE childcare and ski lessons” deal that we thought was pretty cool. That being said, what really knocked our socks off was their cheap prices. We found several 7 night ski vacations from £280* a person. We also really liked how Crystal Holidays deals were searchable by location, or by the month. So if you know you are traveling in March you can easily narrow down the best deal for that month. Crystal Holidays is a lot more than just a ski holiday website, as they have an impressive selection of summertime deals to lakes and mountains throughout Europe.
We found the Crystal Holidays vacation search box a little odd, it doesn’t have very many options when it comes to length of stay: “Up to a week”…. “1 week”… “2 weeks”. As we often book a 5 day holiday, it seemed to limit our options. That is not all that we found limiting. Crystal Holidays website is limited to holiday packages which include hotel and airfare from the U.K. So, unless you are flying from the U.K., Crystal Holidays is not for you.
One of the best aspects of the Crystal Holiday’s website is that the prices on the search results screen are accurate, “the price you see is the price you pay“. Their prices include the cheapest airfare, hotel accommodations, transfers and taxes.
