    what about £169 pp, Departing from Luton 7/11/2010
    Playa de las Americas, Aguamarina Golf Apartments ?
    £169.02
    £169.02
  • If you can fly on 6 Nov
    Ryanair from Luton inc 15Kg luggage £126pp = 252
    Bonanza Aparthotel studio (for 2) £259 (otel.com) or £269 (hotelopia) found with https://www.RoomRateCompare.com
    remember you can get 6% otel cashback, or 13% hotelopia cashback through quidco so that in the long term makes hotelopia the slightly better deal if you are willing to wait for the funds- can take 3 months to get into your bank.
    so total £511 per couple (otel), £522 (hotelopia) total

    cashbacks
    otel 259 X2 = £518 less 6% (£31) so effective price = £487
    hotelopia 269 X2 = £538 less 13% (£70) so effective price = £468

    Same price aprox 7 Nov from Stansted

    Taxi to Las Americas is around £20 /£25 EW

    Other apartments are available from as little as £63 pp per week

    We stayed in Aguamarina Golf Apartments earlier this year. Lovely, would highly recommend it.
    However:
    It is not in Playa las Americas. It is easily a 20 minute drive away. It is in a very small resort town called Golf del Sur. It was ideal for us, as we just wanted to relax, but if nightlife you are after, this is not the place for you!
