    Adding the dates and the number of people required to share to get that price would be helpful.

    There are a couple of hotels at this price leaving on the 5th Sep from Newcastle on a b&b basis.They are 18-30 holiday so thats no good for me far to old.Prices are based on 2 adults sharing although i use the word adult loosely when on a 18-30 holiday.

    At the moment there are quite a few 18-30 holidays very reasonably priced going in the next week to nearly all the destinations 18-30 deal with. There is also the odd holiday not restricted to 18-30 bookers but they are to the same destinations ie malia, magaluf etc. I know you 2 above posters will know this fact but for other people, you can actually go on an 18-30 holiday if you are 17-35.

    Take the star rating with a pinch of salt. It is related to what facilities the accomodation has, it doesn't mean they are in good condition or the service is good.

    There are plenty nice 2* accomodation out there that are far superior to 3*, possibly even 4* provided you don't want a hair drier, tv etc......

    Not sure about 2 star,never been in one.
    I would rather have hot burning needles stuck in my eyes than do an 18-30 even if i was young enough to go on one.
