  • 11/10/08- 18/10/08 7 nights, 2 adults, 1 child aged 2, looking for accomodation only at Golden Avenida Park, Salou in a self catering apartment.
    Quote from Thomson a One bedroom apartment for £266 total price or a Two bedroom apartment for £397 total price.
    I woud prefer my son in a proper bedroom but £131 is a lot of money extra to pay. I suppose he could have the bed in the bedroom and we could have the sofa bed...
    Anyway I am looking for quotes on both the one bedroom and two bedroom apartments. Please pm me with quotes.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    I'm not a travel agent but like looking for holidays and found www.travelsupermarket.com had quite a few 4 and 5* on the Riviera Maya going on the 2nd Sept from Manchester with Monarch (upgraded flights) for < £1900 for two so less than £1000 each. www.holidayhypermarket.co.uk did too but they were a bit dearer. Hope that helps!
