    I'd be paying more attention to the hotel review about services, quality etc. that I would care about the other people there.

    When I go on holiday other people are the last thing on my mind. I've no desire to get all social with some folk I won't be seeing ever again.

    Does the £300 include flights and 3 nights all inclusive for 2 adults? If it does, I'd stop worrying and enjoy it.

    For that sort of price you're doing well. You won't find anything with glowing reviews across the board. Not till you're spending considerably more.

    I imagine AI for 3 nights is relatively limited as well as usually people stay for at least 7 nights if not 10 or 14!

    No flights were bought seperate, then transfers seperate then hotel seperate..... then airport parking seperate

    In which case, that sounds quite expensive to me, you could stay in hotels for 2 weeks for that sort of price (dependent upon when you go).

    £100 a night is a lot IMO.

    In fact when do you want to go? I reckon there must be a cheaper package deal. Are you definitely wanting AI?

    We stayed in the hotel a few months ago and it was absolutely appalling. I would pay not to go back as it was such a waste of money and I left a detailed review on TripAdvisor. :(:(

    Review dated 29th November "wouldn't return if we were paid for".

    I rang the customer help line and they say I am within time so can pick another hotel and alter the transfer, may be a few £ more or a few £ less but look at hotels that are within what I already spent.
    How long do you have to change your booking?

    Is it helping posting on here or just muddying the waters for you?
