    seperate hotel but prob looking £1000 for 14 nights hotel
    may be cheaper to book an apartment prob around 600 pounds

    It depends Madman. Sometimes they fly from Dublin, depending on the best offer available at the time.
  • Hi there,

    We went to Tenerife last year for Xmas, £303 each from Dublin, stayed in the Sol Tenerife hotel. Booked with Winter Sunshine Holidays online. If you book once with them, every time you book after they give you 6% of loyalty discount. We went from the 20th to 27th, it gets expensive over New Year. We loved it, so relaxing and the drinking, eating out etc was great value. So much cheaper than home. I would really recommend it. Lots of activity without being 'too busy'. The flights times were excellent and we got the bus down to the aiport and a lift home.
