    Many thanks for your help in reducing this.

    Go on portland website which is part of Thomson and exactly same holiday £1810, other hotels from £1650 including a 3* Riu. or £1710 for 4*. We went to the Riu Tequila which was just set back from the beach and the Yucatan and Playacar are on the beach. We had a hurricane whilst we were there and were glad we were a bit back from the beach although the Riu staff were fantastic and made sure everyone was okay. You can use any of the hotels so it doesn't really matter which you are at. Hope that helps!:T
