    Hi Save a penny,

    These are exactly the sort of things i was looking for, the only worry i have is there might not be much to do apart from eat/drink and sunbathe at the places?

    Perfect holiday for most i know, but being quite fair there is only so long i can spend in the sun so would be eating all the time and might well need 2 seats on the flight home!! :D

    Been to Cancun and Jamaica before but not with my girlfriend (best mate was a trolley dolley so went on standby flights £70!!) and favourite parts were going to chechen itza etc

    Which do you think is best for sight seeing and getting out and about? (would this automatically rule out AI hols as a good value?)

    taytay ...in Sri Lanka there wont be time to sit on the beach..lol loads to see
    https://www.triptosrilanka.com
    Not sure if AI would be good value but when its not much more for all your drink at night it might be worth already having paid for it...or personaly I would go for the 4* BB or the Neptune
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel
  • Hi Saveapenny, thanks for those, will look more in depth tomorrow... We have found some deals for 2 weeks 3*+ AI Dominican Republic at £900 total... Is that a good offer in your experience? Also, after speaking to my boss I can extend the dates from 2nd June onwards if that helps for cheaper prices. We would like AI if possible...

    Little miss 3* in Dom Rep I wouldnt touch you need 4* min
    Riu Bachata was coming up on a good deal at around 1100 Riu are good quality hotels in Dom Rep you cant be too carefull there are some realy dodgy places

    Dominican Republic Dominican Republic (North) Bahia Maimon Riu Bachata

    Adult
    Web £559

    Return: 27/06/06 - 07:15
    14 nights / All Inclusive

    I would consider traveling upto manchester for those Sri Lanka deals the Neptune or the 4*BB they both get excellent reviews and like I said usualy sell for in excess of 1000+pp so they are really good deals


    There is also a Cuba deal 4* Cuba Guardalavaca Occidental Gr. Playa Turquesa
    Again Occidental are a good quality chian

    Out: GATWICK

    Return: 22/06/06 - 07:55

    these are base prices because Thomsons close at midnight
    If your budget can stretch that little bit further go at least 4* in both Dom Rep and Cuba
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel

    Can you leave 28th May?

    https://www.travelrepublic.co.uk have a good selction of 4*HB for your budget

    You could also help to beat the price by putting up all the detaisl, like who it was with and total cost


    That offer was with bookable holidays and had a quote of £340 with ezy travel. I decided not to go for it as both the hotels i was offered had quite bad reviews (unsuprisingly!). I've decided I like the look of the hotel Amar Sina which is a 3* so i hope that will help us reduce costs.
    I'm now looking at maybe booking flights and the hotel myself using olympic and that travelrepublic site you mentioned (I've heard rumours of a 5% discount code lurking about).
    Anyway, I'm going to look seriously again in a weeks time as I have a few companies which say the price should be within my budget then!
    Thanks for your help and I'll let you know how I get on!
