    Hi, I've been searching the web for hours trying get a good price for a trip to Cavtat in Croatia next June we seem to have settled on two hotels, Hotel Croatia(Thomas Cook online £1994+2%c/c) and Hotel Iberostar Albatros(Co-op direct £1954.15+2%c/c) we'd probably prefer the latter as it seems more child friendly but I was wondering is the price as good as it gets?
    Any advice from you guys warmly recieved.
    1-All airports-Gatwick probably cheapest so we've run with that.
    2-Duration-14 nights.
    3-1st & last dates to leave the UK-03/06/2007-06/06/2007
    4-Are night flights acceptable-preferably not with toddler.
    5-Party size & kids ages-2 adults,1 child aged 3yrs.
    6-Board basis you require-Half board
    7-Type of resort-cavtat
    8-Any resorts/countries you WOULD NOT go to-n/a
    9-Any other neccesary factors-Iberostar seems child friendly.
    10-Prices required by what day/time-I'll probably have another look tomorrow and then book.
    11-Max. budget FOR THE WHOLE PARTY-just trying to skim a bit more off cheeky I know!!!
    thanks again!
  • I have just returned from Tenerife and they charge dif, prices from 17 to 25 euros usually the time of day affects the price, but you can ask the price before you get in, going back to the airport we shared with another person and it was 20 euros. We usually get the bus in and back this only costs about 2 euros for a single and they are very good.

    I told my friend how great you were on here and she has asked me to see whether you can find a good deal for her too!

    She wants to travel on 22 October, to Turkey (Dalaman), but she particularly wants a hotel called 'Club Candan'. It is for 2 adults and 2 children (ages 9 and 10) and they want 7 nights self catering. Leaving from Gatwick/Stanstead.

    Thanks,
    Fiona
