I have stayed in a few Riu's and never been dissapointed , you even get optics in your room for a tipple on your balcony as well as soft drinks, beer and water the Riu Bachata is very good but couldnt find any fantastic delas for that hotel but the Merengue is close by and the Mambo and you get to use all 3 except for the evening meal.

Hi, looking to join my family for a week in Orlando. They are staying for 2 weeks but I can only manage one. They are flying on 24 May 2007 (Whitsun week) from Gatwick. I'd prefer to fly from Cardiff or Bristol as I don't really want to travel to London just for a week away.
I'm looking for a flight only, just me, and understand that charter flights fly into Sanford and schedule into Orlando International. What are the advantages/disadvantages of Sanford?0 -
Hi There!
Sloppychops suggestion of Gozo was ideal but sadly beyond our budget.
We've narrowed our requirements down to Greece perhaps Kefalonia, Ithaca or Thassos.
Happy with mainland, too or would consider flying to Athens and jumping on a ferry (we are adventurous travellers)
1-Birmingham or East Mids but can do Manchester if we have to.
2-7 nights
3-Between 30th July and 4th August 2006.
4-Night flights acceptable
5- 2 adults
6- We prefer basic! So room only, self catering or B&B if the price is right.
7- Fairly quiet,chilled out maybe a handful of tavernas/bars that serve local dishes.
8- Blackpool in the sun..no thanks! No theme pubs, burger bars, lager louts etc., Not into family resorts, built up complexes or screaming kids.
9-Nice beach, a few tavernas/bars, some historical interest or natural beauty is always a plus.
10-Beach essential. Don't mind sand or pebbles! Recently had surgery but okay with moderate walking.
11-Up to around £700. That's the total budget for both of us
So far we've found Thassos for £259 (including all flight supplements, fuel levies, etc). Can anyone out there do better?
Cheers :beer:0 -

Hi
can you help with this one
Would like to go to Corfu/ Crete or somewhere in Turkey
Leave Gatwick
2 wks
between 31st July - 4 th Aug
Night flight fine
2 Adults
Any board
Would like to be near resort centre and Sandy beach and would like to have a pool
Max budget is £1000
Have not been to these places so am up for advice - did look at Sidari in Corfu and Hersonnisos in Crete but don't know if these are the best places. We are both only 30 so would llike some bars - especially cocktail ones!!! would definitely like a bit of life but does not have to be major
Many thanks0 -
Hi, wonder if you can find me this?
2 adults and 2 children ( ages 12 and 9)
wanting to travel to Reus airport on Sunday 27th August ( could be a day or two earlier but no later.
Would ideally like to fly from Liverpool but could do Manchester as well.
Would ideally like to stay at H10 meditteranean village in Cap Salou but would also consider anywhere in La Pineda or Port Aventura ( not central Salou!)We would like to be fairly near a beach, but we enjoy being out of the centre.
Don't mind self catering or half board.
Not night flights although could manage an early morning!
Thankyou
Total budget £1600 ( but as little as possible!)0
