Monte Gordo Hotel (What's the difference ?)

I've just booked the Baia de Monte Gordo (3 Star) on a H/B basis for 5 nights with Wintersunshineholidays.

Tariff Room description Total Price
Half Board Twin Standard £145.00
Bed And Breakfast Double / Twin Standard £222.00
Half Board Double / Twin Standard £308.00

What's the difference between Half Board Twin Standard £145.00 and
Half Board Double / Twin Standard £308.00 ??? The price is the obvious difference. I also received 8% discount as a previous customer. Is this a "Glitch" ???

    Could it be that the word single is missing from the first line?

    ie Half Board SINGLE / Twin Standard

    Just a thought!

    Thanks, but I had to enter the ages of the 2 occupants, so it was a "twin". My invoice and voucher both state for 2 H/B.
    I have a feeling it should have been R/O, but who knows/cares - "A gift horse" etc.

  • Lynsey,

    There is no difference between...

    Half Board Twin Standard
    Half Board Double / Twin Standard

    They are the same room by different suppliers. One supplier calls it a Twin Standard and the other calls it Double/ Twin Standard.

    In this case We can only assume that the one you booked was a special offer by one supplier that other did not have access to.

    Many thanks
