    Hi..........i have never stayed at the Princess myself but know people who have and they have enjoyed it. Certainly with Thomsons they paid more than you are quoting. Also they were surprised to find that although they had paid for half board they got full board for no extra charge - this was something the hotel offered on arrival, nothing to do with Thomson.
    There are lots of reviews if you type 'andalucia princess' into trip advisor website (town Estepona)

    from Manchester is loads more than your quote
    Newcastle loads more than you quote
    Birmingham ..wont give me a price
    I priced it up from several because you didnt say where you where flying from

    Also its often better to get a quote for 2+1 with your childrens ages because the 15 will count anyway as adult most of the time. But if you ask them to price it up 1+2 you will get charges under occ. supplements or singles room or what ever else they can charge you for

    But Luton....on the 30th is £922.00 !!! wahoo what a saving for 1 day
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel
