    can you beat my quote (below) please?? thanks in advance

    i dont have many specific requirements 'just' (!)
    we are a couple who would like to go to one of the sunnier/sunniest parts of europe so i'm assuming playa blanca, lanzarote or somewhere in south of tenerife... or perhaps somewhere else in canaries will be a good bet (?)

    we'd like pretty good accom incase the weather lets us down so 4/5 star, ideally with an indoor or a heated pool and a gym

    happy with any of sc,bb,hb,fb or all inclusive.... but if it is sc or bb then would much prefer to have cooking facilities that are actually usable.

    would much prefer to fly from bristol but exeter,cardiff,birmingham arent too difficult for us either.

    ideally would like to go for 5-10 days and can fly anytime from evening fri 19dec with return by anytime sunday 4 jan 2015 (this is within school holidays but we cant avoid that)

    so far best quote is:
    The Quote itself: £667 pp
    Who the quote is from: icelolly via a couple of agents
    Is there a booking fee: not sure
    Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: not sure, hotel volcan
    The departure Airport/Post: bristol
    The Holiday Dates: 21-28 Dec 2014
    The number of people travelling: 2 adults
    The Hotel :Hotel volcan playa blanca lanzarote
    The Board (self catering/half board etc):HB

    Any specific requirements: not fussed about gala meals, entertainment, kids clubs etc -if they are there we will prob just ignore them

    Is an in-flight meal included: unsure and not bothered

    we don't want to spend a fortune but dont want to go too budget on the accom so maxish budget £800pp if some/most meals included and £600pp if not

    (we usually go vv budget but if the weather turns bad we wont want to be somewhere tatty/damp etc, it would need to be at least one notch up from corbeta in playa blanca for example, which was fine for us for a summer hol but wouldnt be considered for this time of year)
