I've edited my post slightly just in case any agents other than MATTR5 are watching and can find me a deal. Thanks for your help Matt I will probably book one of the deals I have found in the next week or so if I can't find anything better, your deals looked great but weren't quite the right area0

Just to pop in. Not asking for a quote but was recently back from a Matt arranged fortninght in Aska Lara Hotel Lara Beach. Scouted the area. Found the perfect hotel for next year (Like the area). Surfed the net with my range of parameters to find my preferred deal. Mailed Matt and gave him the parameters. He found the exact same deal as me (I'm good obviously
) but as this year with a couple of hundred pounds in discount. I phoned him to "tweak" my requirements to a slightly different date. He took my call (On a sunday) and said holiday promptly booked.
Great service and Guy.
For those that might be interested the Royal Wings hotel in Lara is the destination.
No 2 of 230 in Antalya region in Turkey

Looked fantastic while I scouted it out.
Just over £3000 for a fortnight all inclusive during summer school holidays from Scotland for 2 adults and a child. Day flights and at the weekend.
Incredible value0 -

Hi folks,
I'm looking for a multi-centre trip to Cuba in June/July 2018. Ideally I want 3/4 nights in Havana followed by 7 nights on a nice beach somewhere (the beach doesn't have to be in Cuba, anywhere in the Caribbean will do). I'm struggling to find something for less than £1000pp which I just don't want to pay. Does anyone have any travel agent/website recommendations at all please?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi Sarah
You could try a Company Called Cuba Holidays
I think you may struggle with that budget but you can get hotels in havana cheap and also eg Varadero which you can get to by bus/taxi - try the Starfish hotel via Booking.com so if you put it together yourself you are in with a shout
The other alternative would be book a package to eg Guardalavaca (Holguin area) and then do an excursion/local trip to Havana - we have 10 nights in Guardalavaca inc flights, suitcases, visas, 10 nts all inclusive from £847 per person (Thats from Manchester - Gatwick is a bit more)
