The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Fiesta Palmyra
he Board (self catering/half board etc): HB

Prefer sea view room and interested in anything that's more Bay than San Antonio, from Glasgow (preferred) or Edinburgh, can travel up to 2 days later.
Also if someone can confirm what Quidco pays for Thomson package holidays that would make an impact on the quote, too. The wording is really ambiguous.
