    Hi Looking for a holiday for my parents:
    1. Going from either Edinburgh, or Glasgow prefer Edinburgh though
    2. 7 days
    3. Would prefer to go between 20th of March to 12 April
    4. Not sure whether night flights are an option
    5. 2 people aged 68 - one in a wheelchair
    6. would like either half board or better
    7. would prefer a quieter resort with either no children or an age limit of 12+
    8.Would like to go to the Canaries, somewhere like Tenerife etc would like it to be hot, but wont go anywhere like Egypt
    9. The hotel must be suitable for Wheelchair users, steps and bath only are not suitable as some hotels put boards over the bath but thats no use. the surrounding area must also be fairly flat as otherwise it will be a nightmare pushing the wheelchair up a hill. Would like fairly good choice of entertainment in the hotel although dont want constant parties or a lot of young people there partying. the airport transfer must also include either a specially adapted taxi or something to that effect
    10. Max budget around £500 each - have had some quotes from Thomsons but exceeding budget

    Thanks a lot for your help

    Amazing, I tried the eclipsedirect web site with the following combination
    5+2+1 = £2900.40
    2+2 = £1590.20
    Grand Total = £4490.60 not inlcuding inflight meals and no pre-booked seats.

    However when I rang eclipse, they gave a quote for £4587 not inlcuding inflight meals and no pre-booked seats. When I spoke to the lady on the phone, she said that she cannot match the price from their own website as this was a group booking????
    anyway I can get them to match this?

    Have you tried ringing First Choice(same company as Eclipse) to see what their quote is?

    Hi, the one which we liked wasn't any good as the hotel didn't have a shower room but put a board over the bath which my dad wouldn't be able to use and i dont think that my mum could handle him for 7 days with no shower!!!! :D
