For starters they sell packages including villas and flights which gives full ATOL protection.
The reason I am writing about them though is that they also offer a selection of leisure resorts. What they have done is handpicked a collection of properties which offer private accomodation with the facilities typically found in a villa, but on leisure complexes so you get excellent sports facilities and or restaurants a flying champagne cork two's distance away.
I just did one price test to see how they compare and did the first hotel in their list the Royal Garden Villas in Tenerife ( sounds amazing by the way!). Randomly, I selected a one week holiday from 11 Sep 2009, 2 adults and 2 kids, and looked at the below websites in this order and got these prices :
James Villas - £2988
Cheap hotels in Tenerife - £2043
Low Cost Holidays - £2050
Thomson - £2212
Hotels.com - £2589
In each case I was looking at the entry level villa the "princess villa" and with B&B.
So, unfortunately for James Villas in this review. just one test they came out the most expensive choice for this option so either they were just unlucky or they should stick to villas.
In reality, most people would add flights to the booking so I should have tested that out, in a future review I will revisit this and do a couple of package price comparisons. If there are particular websites you want me to consider on my next review or if you have first hand experience of a James Villas booking please share by using the comments section.
