    Thats a really good price.There have been quite a few posted on here lately (with xl flights and Thomsons hotels/apartments).
    The apartments you have booked have got very good reviews as well.
    Have a great holiday.

    Not always the case.I have been on what i would call expensive holidays(that we have saved long and hard for) where everything looked and sounded perfect when in reality it was a living hell and nothing like it was made out to be and then again been on some real cheapies and had the most fantastic holidays.
    So you get what you pay for is not always correct.

    I know the resort and like I say, you get what you pay for. It's in Albufeira new town and you only need to search the archives to see reports on it. Nothing bad but not "Portugal".
