We wanted to book our usual Napa Plaza hotel but found this cheaper.
Would also be interested in Napa Plaza around the same price please.

Hi magough
Sorry we are more expensive on this and the Napa Plaza - we do have the Tasia Maris in a Seaview from Stansted on 19th August at the same price with Jet2Hols so you get 22kg hold bags each but cant beat the price. Napa Plaza is about £1600
ps Just a reminder to everyone we are Guaranteeing to beat Thomas Cook and Jet2Holidays prices this month - just post on the Forum and we will reply

Hi
Appreciate any better costings on this - the premium economy can just be for 2 pers with airport lounge for the other 2 (kids can suffer as its our anniversary!) Also happy to play with dates by 7 days, and Airport (can do Birmingham) if cheaper.
Would ove a none coach transfer as well. The hotel does offer a free upgrade on anniversaries (it's our 20th) but I can;t seem to get that on the website.
