1. Who is my point of contact in the resort?

In your holiday accommodation there will be a holiday guide which will show you all the points of contact you have with Barrington Holidays during your stay. This includes our office in Sabinillas, our landline and mobile telephone numbers and our emergency call number. This means that at any time day or night we are only a phone call away.

2. What do I do when I arrive in Spain and how do I find my accommodation ?

With your holiday booking confirmation email you will be given directions of how to get to our office in Sabinillas. This email will also give you instructions to call your representative when you are at the airport to confirm that you have landed, collected your hire car and that you are on your way to our office in Sabinillas. Our representative will then meet you (anytime of the day or night!) and show you to your accommodation and make sure that you are settled.

3. What do I do in an emergency ?

Your holiday guide in your accommodation gives you a list of useful numbers and also emergency contact numbers such as police, fire brigade and ambulance etc. In the event of an emergency please call the appropriate number and then call a Barrington Holidays Representative so they can assist you. If you have any special requirements or you feel that you may need anything that is not listed in this guide please contact a representative at the earliest opportunity.

4. What happens if I am not happy with something in my accommodation?

Your accommodation will be exactly as described and detailed in this website. If you have any queries or further questions about the property please ask at the time of booking. If there is something that you feel is not as you expected please contact a representative immediately. The earlier a representative is informed the sooner they can respond to your query. We value as our clients and will do our utmost to ensure that you enjoy your holiday with us.

5. What is included in the welcome pack?

A welcome pack is supplied in all our properties to ensure that at whatever time you arrive you can have a snack to eat and a drink. The welcome pack includes tea, coffee, milk, bread, butter, jam, eggs, water, beer and wine. Contents of the welcome pack may vary slightly and unfortunately we are not able to accept ay requests to alter the contents of this pack. In the cupboard there may also be sugar, salt, pepper, flour, oil, vinegar and a selection of sauces etc - if you finish something that is in the cupboard we request that you please replace it ... it isn't the cost but convenience for the next guests.

6. I want something that isn't included in Barrington Holidays services. What do I do ?

Barrington Holidays offer a comprehensive list of services including airport transfers, car hire, golf course bookings and excursions. If there is something that you would like to do on your holiday that is not included in these services please contact us on info@barringtonholidays.com although we cannot guarantee to provide these services we can certainly try to help you the best we can !

7. What do I do at the end of my stay?

On your day of departure you are free to leave your accommodation at whatever time suits you unless previously advised by one of our representatives. It is essential that you check that you have taken all your belongings and secure the accommodation as you leave. You must then return all keys to the Barrington Holidays office and put them in the post box if it is outside of our opening hours.

Although not essential some of our clients prefer to put all dirty laundry in central location and put any dirty cutlery and crockery in the dishwasher. This is entirely at the discretion of the client and by no means compulsory.

8. Is the price quoted for the whole property or per person and is there anything extra to pay?

The prices quoted are for the whole property NOT per person. There is nothing extra to pay (except for flights and any travel to and from your accommodation). The price includes linen, towels, all utilities and any local taxes.

9. Which is the nearest airport?

The beauty of visiting Puerto Duquesa is that it can be easily accessed by 3 major airports. The closest of this is Gibraltar which is only 25 minutes away. Malaga is only 50 minutes away and offers several low cost flight options. Jerez is approximately 1h 30 minutes away and although it is the furthest of the 3 choices flights can be very cheap. For further assistance in booking your flights please view our flights and travel page.

10. Are the properties suitable for children?

All our holiday properties are owned by private owners and as such are not specifically dedicated to being child friendly more than any other property. Some apartments may also be on a upper level. If you are concerned about the child safety aspects of any of our holiday accommodation please contact us at the time of booking your property. However the majority of our resorts are gated, have 24 hour security and lifeguards during the summer months. Puerto Duquesa is also a very safe and family friendly resort and perfect for a family holiday.

11.  Are the properties suitable for disabled people?

We do not promote any of our properties as being disabled friendly as the Spanish laws are not the same as UK laws and we would not want to mislead any of our clients. However some properties do lend themselves to disabled use. If this is something that would be an important consideration when booking your holiday please contact a representative before booking your holiday. We will then be able to suggest the most appropriate accommodation to suit your needs.

Back to Top

12. Is there a maid service or are the properties cleaned at all during our stay?

All our holiday rental accommodation is self catering and as such the properties are cleaned before and after your holiday and linen provided before you arrive only. If you require a maid service or a mid-stay clean there will be an additional charge for this service and it must be requested at the time of booking.

13. Do I need to bring a Hair Dryer, Iron, Towels etc?

All items in your property are detailed in the property description page. Anything in addition to this list cannot be provided by Barrington Holidays. We do not provide beach or pool towels.

14. Can you organise flights for me?

Sorry, we are unable to help you in booking your flights. However please view our flights and travel page which provides lots of useful suggestions.

Back to Top

15. Is there a discount for longer lets?

If you would like to enjoy an extended stay in one of our holiday accommodation properties we may be able to offer you a discount. Please ask a representative at the time of booking.

Back to Top

16. Is there a telephone or internet connection in the property?

None of our properties have either phone or internet connection. There are internet cafes both in Puerto Duquesa and Sabinillas. If this would be an important requirement during your holiday please contact your representative who can direct you to the nearest internet cafe. We strongly advise that all guests bring a mobile phone with them incase of emergencies. For visitors from America a tri-band phone must be used.

Back to Top

17. Can the changeover day and length of stay be varied?

We offer any changeover day at our holiday accommodation and any duration (minimum 3 nights). Prices are calculated on a pro rata basis and an additional charge of 50€ is applicable for stays of 6 nights or less.

18. Are the properties heated in the winter?

All properties that are described as having air conditioning have both hot and cold air conditioning and therefore heat the properties in the winter as well. If there is no air conditioning heaters will be provided in the properties. In some properties there is also a log fire. Logs for fireplaces are not provided but may be purchased locally at an extra cost.

Back to Top

19. What TV channels can I receive?

Where we state that a property has Satellite TV. you can expect to receive a limited selection of free to air English speaking channels only which will include BBC1, BBC2, ITV and CH4 and additional free to air channels. The movies and sports channels will not be available. Reception is not as good as in the UK as Spain is on the edge of the satellite 'footprint'. During times of bad weather the television satellite reception will be affected.

20. Are pools in commission all year & are they heated?

Most pools are maintained and in commission all year round. However as the resorts have independent rules we cannot guarantee the use of the pool in the low season. We cannot be held responsible if a pool is not in commission due to circumstances beyond our control or due to the community regulations. For any concerns regarding this please ask at the time of booking.

Back to Top

21. Can I book a high chair or a cot?

Both high chairs and cots can be reserved for you at an additional charge of 30€ and 15€ per week respectively. Due to limited availability these must be requested at the time of booking.

Back to Top

22. Can Barrington Holidays book excursions for me and my family?

Yes ! We can book excursions for you and your family. Please look on our excursions page for more details.

Back to Top

23. How do I pay for my holiday?

Payment must be made at the time of booking in full. Your booking will not be confirmed until payment is received. The paypal system is used for all holiday payments and you will be sent a payment instruction for this. Payments are to be made in Euros only. Your credit card details will also be taken at the time of booking for a damage deposit only and not for any part of your holiday payment.
