    Hi there.

    I'm a bit new to this so apologies in advance for getting anything wrong. I usually look around the travel agents' sites and find a late(ish) deal between about 8 and 6 weeks to departure. Can usually get a nice hotel in mainland spain or island for 2 weeks half board at end of June for £400 or less.

    This year we have decided on Costa Del Sol but everything seems pricey with even the worst rated hotels being over £500. Imagine this is because the Euro is strong? Even when I priced up last years' holiday for comparison it was more expensive.

    The Riu Puerto Marina in Benalmadena looks beautiful so we're thinking if we have to pay more than usual, why not pay a bit extra for a really good hotel. If anyone can help me find this cheaper I would be so greatful. Thanks in advance
