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.

Hi Marker,
You have said you have had a cheaper quote from teletext. If you update me and let me know the cheapest quote you have had, I'll try to beat it for you.

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 days99.9% of my posts include sarcasm!Touch my bum :money:Tesco - £1000 , Carpet - £20, Barclaycard - £50, HSBC - £50 + Car - £1700SAVED =£0Debts - £28500 -
