    Hi Riadh

    I checked all our supplers last night and I checked the hotels own website and none had two sea view suites - Travel Republic MAY have an allocation but it makes me suspicious. I dont think there are two sea view suites available and i am worried that there availablity is not live. If you really want those rooms book with them but i hate to say it - i dont think they have those rooms so I'm gonna have to pass on this one

    By the way - i really hope im wrong - and there is a real chance they have exclusive allocation - let me know how you get on after the trip

    Matt

    Hi betterbargains4u

    Yes we can beat this!

    I had to do a bit of detective work but i'm guessing this is the Stansted flight (it could be Newcastle - either way I'll beat it)

    We can do this for £420 per person saving you £120 overall

    You will still be booked with Thomas Cooks so same flight, reps etc - and we will match their low deposit :)

    I was initially mis-quoted and offered a free child place but when I booked this was rejected and an additional cost imposed (which is included in the above.


    I was quoted on the 9.30 am Thomson flight. Price includes 3 bags and transfers.
