    Hi,
    As a family of 5, we are flying to Dalaman on Wed 10th Aug.
    2 adults, 3 kids, 16,13 and 11
    We have paid to stay all inclusive at a hotel, but the reviews are so bad, we are looking at booking another hotel
    Obviously, we are trying to save pennies, as paying for 2 hotels wasn't in the plan!
    I can find this room, which is the room we would need, as it has 2 bedrooms, for £1508 - Hotel Family Room
    This is a bargain already, but need to see if I can get it any cheaper!!!
    Who the quote is from:

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Ivrytwr3

    We may be able to beat this - it depends if its a full Sea View or Side Sea View, and if it includes 2 hold bags and Transfers or not

    OK in that case that's a really good price - id struggle just to match it

    If when you go to book they try to add any extras come back to me but Hays are a decent company and theyve done you a good deal so Id go book it x

    That's really good to hear! This holiday was for my father and partner and I do worry about high street prices compared to the web, but if you say it is a good price then i will tell them to book it.

    On a side note, you helped me with a few quotes, in the end we went to Cape Verde and fortunately got a complementary upgrade to a 3 bed exec villa!

    Although you couldn't beat their price, you advised on what was a good price for us - so thanks again.
