Where to book Castillo San Jorge Antigua & Suites in Fuerteventura March 2007

We're thinking of going to the above accomodation. We can fly any time between 17/3/07 and 21/3/07 going for two weeks, flying from Manchester/East Mids.
They'll be me, my wife and 18 month old son.
I can get the package from Thomson for £900 self catering but was searching around trying to find sites where I can book the accomodation separately as I can get the flights only from Thomson for £350 for all three of us inc. taxes.
Could someone please recommend me some sites where I might be able to get the accomodation for less than £450??

Many thanks,
Foxy.

    Budget ..I think they are his trade prices and look good to me.
    Travel agents get a better rate with Alpha rooms than us Joe public same with Trust.
    Unless the alphrooms glich works for the hotel/apartment choosen ..lol
    Try it through Hotelcomparison ...it shows in £ but when you go to book some places it charges in USD 1/2 (nealry) cant be beaten but its not on all of them. Oro Negro in Tenerife is one it works for. I help someone get thte hotel 1/2 price and I think it was honured
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel

    ah ha, Thanks Saveapenny, didnt realise you are a travel agent bhxukman


  • Where are you getting that price from ?
    below are alpharooms prices for Castillo San Jorge, Antigua y Suites

    Actually although i am an agent i get the same prices as you on alpha but we get 10% comm but the prices have gone up since i checked yesterday,however another company we use again a trade site only jumbo havent increased their prices so

    studio is still £366.50
    1 bed £426

    BUT their prices will probably increase as well so be quick:confused:

    So how did this go Foxmeister?
    Assuming Bhxukman could get your flights for same £350 we are looking at total price of £750 against your Thomsons quote of £900- A £150 saving
    If you stick around Bhxukman and prove you are reliable. you may even get some business from me next year
