Hi the bulgaria one looks good, do you know what the flight duration is? Have you seen anything closer to home (Majorca etc), with a 10mth baby wife is not keen on flying to far.0
-
Hi there
1-All airports you can fly from
Nottingham East midlands
Birmingham
Manchester
2-Duration
14 nights
3-1st & last dates to leave the UK
07/08/06 - 16/08/06 (have to be back in UK for 12am 31/08/06)
4-Are night flights acceptable ? (Big point as night flights usually cheaper!)
Yes, no problems anything to cheapen it up
5-Party size & kids ages
2 adults 1 child (He is 12 not 13 til next feb)
6-Board basis you require (ie self-catering, all-inclusive, h/b, bb...etc)
H/B but prefer AI
7-Type of resort, ie quiet, lively
Crete/any other greek island - not over lively
8-Any resorts/countries you WOULD NOT go to
Looking for Greek islands - not really anywhere else
9-Any other neccesary factors, ie must have kids
Would like it to be a 4* plus - not a superfamily hotel though please
10-Prices required by what day/time?
club, pool, be within 'x' metres from sea...etc
As soon as possible - want to book in next 48hrs!
11-Max. budget FOR THE WHOLE PARTY!!! Now I know there is a preconceived idea that if you say maximum £1000 we'll quote £999-99-NOT the case! It just saves us all time, for example if you were looking at peak Season or Whitsun for £125 pp it's a non-starter. Just 'as cheap as posssible' is not a help I'm afraid.
£2000 max for party
Thanks vey very much in advance!

Thanks sloppychops, the options you've given me there are much better than what I have found so far. One last question (promise!), my wife is also intersted in going to the PortAventura resort staying at one of the on-site hotels - best quote i've got so far is £1550 HB staying at the Club Caribe - is that the best I will get? Same dates etc.
Thanks,BJWJ0 -

So now a spanner had a look at the reviews already for Amoudara and they don't seem good. Rooms are damp and smelly - cell like so it says.......
I looked at Med holidays and the other one I saw was Elounda Beach? Seems ok but can't find many reviews - can anyone help?
Perhaps i'm asking too muchIt's nice to be nutty but's more important to be nice0 -
Sorry never looked at reviews,will have a look around and get back to you."Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."0
