Best website for all inclusive hotels

I'm trying to find myself a very cheap all inclusive weeks holiday leaving from Sunday onwards.

Does anyone know of any good websites for search for all inclusive hotels?

Wanna try and get the complete holiday for less than £300, flying from Newcastle for at least a week

    I just wish all sites would let you search all countries at once. My heart sinks when I cant the choice of 'any' in the destination section lol

    I found https://www.kayak.co.uk quite good last year and it wasn't too much hassle to cycle through different destination countries.

    Also check out http://www.travelrepublic.co.uk

    You do have to put a destination in, but once you have found something that meets your requirements, it is worth checking it against travel republic, as they are generally competitive and their customer service is excellent.

    Edit: there are some good deals in Turkey at the moment as it is outside the euro-zone and the exchange rate against the lira is good, so spending money goes further once you are there.

    Yes zzzLazyDaisy
    Thats what I do. Find a deal on Icelolly then use the data to check Travel Republic, On The Beach, Sunshine and Lo Cost Holidays.
    As these sites aren't giving you any package holiday protection anyway, I normally just end up booking all the bits myself + cutting out their mark up too.

    1 case = £20 (£10 each)
    Transfers = £22.80 (£11.40 each)
    £10 Turkish Entry

    Total

    £250(ish)

    Booked seperately..
    Flight w/ Jet2 = £315
    Accom via Travel Republic = 278
    Transfers = £22.80

    Guess sun wings quoted me a decent price then.. I wonder if they left anything out.

    I don't understand why Turkish entry is £10 on one calculation and £20 on the other.

    You pay for the Turkish entry visa when you arrive in the country, it is £10 each and needs to be cash (scottish notes not accepted).

    Also, before you make a final decision, always check the hotel with Tripadviser. You can disregard the odd ranting review - there is always someone who will moan about something - but if there are loads of bad comments it might make you think again.

    Because the second set of figures are for the two of us...
