Hi

My head is pickled been looking for about a 7 day break for mid May departing from Belfast for myself and husband. Looked at Tenerife, Lanzarote, Cyprus and Gran Canaria. Not been to any off these before. Really want very good accomodation as have had disaster in past. Any one any ideas have been to travel agent and looked on line. Budget around max £450 each for couple, we are early thirties, want a resort with enough to do but not mad. We are thinking possibly of doing Half Board/ All Inclusive due to euro, however we do enjoy eating out but we thought even if used it 2/3 nights.


Finding it difficult enough to find decent accommodation with Belfast departures on line


Thanks

    Hi all we ended up booking Tenerife, to a hotel between Los Christianos and Playe das Americas. The hotel is 4/5 star. When I was in travel agents 2 weeks ago this hotel was offered at fullboard and I enquired re All inclusive was told was 30 pound per person a day to upgrade. Thank god I did not book that then, as today there was a £30 increase in price and this now had all inclusive included. £500 each for week here got insurance ancar parking at airport included for that price.
