Cheapie to spain/greece needed! 28th July.

Hi, Im looking at booking a week away on the 28th/29th July from Manchester or Liverpool. 2 adults and 2 kiddies (10 yrs +16yrs).
Have found flights to Reus with Ryanair for the 29th returning the 4th (6 nights) for £275 ish. Wondering if we are better booking accomodation seperate and using these flights - or are there any cheapie packages out there. Not too bothered where we go, but would like 2 rooms, or a 2 bed apt.
Anyone got any suggestions??
Thanks

    Cheap packages are severely limited this year during the school hols.

    Your best bet is looking for accomodation to tally up with those flights. Don't leave it too long as the price for those flights is going to increase.
    Try this site for accomodation as well as the usual sites ( i found it the cheapest when looking for accomodation recently):
    www.xcapewithus.com

    They have accomodation for the 4 of you for under £500.. Check for accomodation reviews before booking though - to make sure its not a dump.

    For packages, firstchoice seem to be cheapest with the late deals at the moment ( cheaper than mytravel , xl etc ). They are likely to class a 16 yr old as an adult. Can't see you getting anything under £1000 though.
    Just booked to corfu on july 21st ( with good dayflights from east mids ) for £612 for 2 adults ( and i didn't pick the cheapest accomodation - preferred a nice highly reviewed one overlooking the beach). This was cheaper than booking flights and accomodation separately for those dates.
