    Hi Smiffy

    They are the only tour op with anything those dates so are pretty unbeatable - i presume you saw the Clarion and the Wyndham which are a bit cheaper - Id book it with Thomson, look for Cashback, and dont forget to do your ESTAs

    Thanks for looking I had a suspicion that might be the case as not much else come up unless I fly virgin and book everything separate which works out more.

    Yes I saw the other hotels slightly cheaper but think the kids would prefer the water park one.
    Cheers for the cash back tip I always forget I registered on quidco.
    Will have to do esta again as I think they are just out of date now.
  • I have already booked the flight, so looking for a decent hotel and found this one Barcelo Eresin Topkapi

    Dates: 6/4/2016 to 14/4/2016

    Quote for Delux Room with Breakfat : £663.18

    Can anyone beat this quote please?

    If not, I am just looking for a hotel with Pool in Istanbul in the range of £500

    Thanks

    Hi DavidBeckham

    Is this a room for 2? If so - Yes we can beat this

    If so we can do you a double deluxe with Breakfast for £600 exactly - saving you over 10% - if you wanna get that hotel/room in budget just ditch the breakfast and its £500 or keep breakfast and do a Twin Budget room also £500

    An alternative would be the Surmeli Istanbul - a double superior there with Breakfast is £545 but it may not be as well located as the Barcelo. It does have a pool thought

    Hi razorblade

    YES WE CAN BEAT THIS

    If we stick with the Virgin flights on 1st April we can save you a few hundred pOunds - if we can shift 2 days before or 2 days after to a Thomsons or Thomas Cook flight _also direct_ we can save you over £1000

    Like for like we can save you £500 so £11134 - thata the same flights, same room, and ebven an upgrade to Private Transfers - all ABTA/ATOL protected

    As discussed if you do the Thomas Cook flight on 3rd April I can further reduce this to £10234 saving you £1400 overall - again inc same room/private transfers etc
