Hi,
I have a quote from Thomas Cook for:
7 nights all inclusive
Hilton Marsa Alam Nubian Resort, Egypt
Standard sea view room
2 adults
Depart 25 March 2019, 09:00, from BHX to Marsa Alam
Return 1 April 2019, to BHX, 16:40
15kg luggage allowance per person
ATOL
Includes:
- return transfers
- standard meal out and back per person
- pre-selected seats on flight out and return

Any better offers? I'm quite set on Marsa Alam but don't mind a different hotel as long as it's higher up in the trip advisor rating!
Thanks!
