    The OP asked for the Coco Reef - Turtle Beach is an inferior hotel which is why the quote will be significantly cheaper.
    Also she has asked for flights in XLOne which is XL's equivalent of first class - have you included this in your quote? :confused:

    • The Quote itself: £566.22
    • Who the quote is from: Hotel = Breaksinthesun.com, Flight = Easyjet, Transfer = Tenerife transfer
    • Is there a booking fee: no
    • The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: DIY hol, Easyjet, Hacienda del sol, las americas

    I am desperate to get the price down, it is currently the flights that are crippling the quote as we are two students on a tight budget but are desperate for a break. Any help would be fantastic.

    Hey there.

    Hoping someone out there can better this quote? I've got the cash ready to spend and departure date is quite close so ready to book just so long as the price is right!

    So, what's the best anyone do for me? :) That hotel seem to have a few promotions on at the moment, including free upgrades to Sea View rooms - please bear this in mind and include if possible in your quotes.

    Thanks all! Like I said - the cash is ready and waiting to come out!

    Cheers,
    Ben.
