Okay thanks Matt

I'm having a huge debate with myself now, my mother wants us to go for that one. I can't get in touch with my father, as he's the one paying lol.

Quickrooms.com are doing that hote All Inclusivel for £525.
http://www.quickrooms.com/resultsshow.aspx?startday=13&startmonth=6&startyear=2012&numnights=7&city=3457&location=Playa+De+Muro&numrooms=1&numAdults=2&numChildren=1&child1Age0=12&agentid=rooms
So that leaves you £500 for flights + transfers.
Ryanair will fly you there from Bristol for £209 (for 3 of you) inc 10KG hand luggage +
3 X 15KG Luggage (£150)
Booking fee £36
Return transfers for 3 are £36 with https://www.airporttransfers.co.uk
So
Hotel £525
Flight £209
Luggage £150
Booking Fee £36
Transfers £36
GRAND TOTAL £956
If it were me, 4 a week Id take 3 hand luggage + only 2 paid for hold luggage to save a further £50
PS
if you book the journeys as singles then the flights, luggage + booking fee for the Rtn leg will be the same amount of Euros as it would be GB £s so a potential further saving of £30 even allowing for Ryanair poor exch rate (0.82 per Euro)0 -
If your with natwest, upgrade to advantage gold for 1x month (£13) and use the travel service to price match.
Additionally, you will get free 5* travel insurance for the family for the trip.
They will price match, beat and better the offer.0 -
Can't believe they won't knock the £83 off. Ring them again and ask for a quote, when they give you a price say "Oh that's a bit over our budget if you could do it for £1100 I'll book it now". We gave that sob story last year and they knocked about £200 off!!0

I usually find a holiday cheap online, print it off & march off to the TA with it. Then you sit there & you beg if need be - I have no shame
If you can't bring yourself to do that just go in to the TA & ask about your holiday, if the price is too high just tell them that you've seen it at a lower price. If they've spent time on you trying to get the price down then they wont want to lose a sale, they usually say that they'll let you have the holiday at that price on the condition that you must book on that day. 0
