    Found cheaper yet again on Teletext holidays which include baggage allowance and transfers, but cant access on this computer.

    Hotels I have looked into and would be happy to stay in are:
    Globales Costa Tropical
    Aloe Club Resort
    Dunas Caleta Club
    Broncemar
    Caleta Dorado
    Las Marismas de Corralejo

    Open to others but would much prefer to stay in Corralejo area. Kids activities (playground, pool etc) is a must.

    Getting overlooked here.

    Quote from Teletext for Aloe Club Resort £1698 and Las Marismas £1868 (these were evening quotes and have figured out that their advertised prices are cheaper in the day). Sunmaster quotes are pretty much the same too.

    After thoroughly looking through the hotels the above two are the preferred options (Las Marismas #1). Can travel 12th or 19th for 10 days :)
