    Hi all,

    Were looking for all inclusive, a holiday where we dont have to think about spending any extra cash.

    Last may we did 2 holidays to Majorca, & to Ibiza. Both cost us a fortune in eating out. With about 25-30 euros per evening meal.

    Corfu Aqualand Hotel is the one she was looking at earlier, £763 all inc just flying at an unreasonable time.

    Hi sloppy, working on this deal from Manchester or Humberside.

    Humberside is coming up as not enough seats, but without meals and 15kg through Thomas Cook comes up as £733 all inc.

    So throw that to the bank, and should be £700 with free travel insurance.

    In the meantime, the wife will be sure to keep looking.

    Glad you got it sorted and at a fantastic price.Sa Coma,Cala Millor and Cala Bona are great areas of Majorca to stay in(We have just recently got back from Cala Millor,had a great hol) and im sure you will have a lovely holiday.

    We paid £680 last may for a week self catering to Ibiza (Es Cana), so this is a bargain, but were not there yet, so wont comment on it so far.

    Cheap can be cheap for a reason, some good & bad reviews. We know its in the middle of the town, with a free train to the beach, but hey..its cheap...

    A cheap holiday good, or a good holiday cheap.?
