    Hi lozza2809

    Hi - its a bit of an odd one this - Iv was told by one supplier the 2 bedroom family room includes Imperial Club but another supplier and Atlantis themselves say it doesn't - it has to be a Family Club Room to get that 
    I had a quick look on Lastminute and they seemed to be more for the Famil Club room so let me know 
    In a standard 2 bedroom family room I can beat your price by over £1400
    In a Family Club room I'm just over £16k
    Those are both on the 0940 flight out and 1425 flight back with 30kg luggage each and include Transfers the other end

    Just to add to the above rev_henry has messaged me and has a discount code and another discount to get from £790 to £705 so I can't beat it this time

    Rare I can't beat a Jet2hols one but at £705 not a lot to play with - if it had been over £1000 even with the discount codes I could have knocked a bit more off

    £705, even £790, seems a real bargain for a 5-night, 4****, All-Inclusive to Rhodes. Presumably checked bags and transfers included as well as this is Jet2 Holiday. 

    £352.50 per adult plus a free child place, or £235.00 per person.  At what point do you stop hunting for a further discount and just grab the deal?

    Hi Westin

    I can sometimes save £40-£60 on something as cheap as that but he had a specific promo code and additional discount so I could have matched the £705 but not beaten it 

    Always worth a try lol - but yes he's found a great deal
