Hi Deeday
They have done you a cracking price but I can just beat it - My price would be £8150 saving you just over £50 - also I can do £99 per person deposit - and you will be booked with the Co-op so a company you know and trust etc (also you can claim Membership Points with us)

Hi Matt,
I also need some help!
The Quote itself: £577
Who the quote is from:Holiday Hypermarket
Is there a booking fee: No
The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Tui
The departure Airport/Post: Man
The Holiday Dates: 18th December, 7 nights
The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): ClubHotel Riu Karamboa
The Board (self catering/half board etc): AI
Any specific requirements:
Is an in-flight meal included: No
Transfers included: Yes
I would actually prefer a trip 20-29th December to Sal Island to a similar hotel using mixed Tui/Thomas Cook flights, costing £228.50 including luggage.
Overseas websites use cheaper all inclusives such as Crioula Clubhotel & Resort which I can purchase through Thomas Cook's overseas website neckermann reisen for 592 euros each for 9 nights
Putting this package together would also be great.
Finally, I actually live near Gatwick and Tui had some flights LGW-SID 20-27th December earlier today, then said they had sold their allocation but I could try another operator for seats, who? Using these flights would be the best.
Many thanks and sorry for the long complicated request,
