    I've been quoted £924 per person (all in) for two weeks all inclusive at the Melia Cayo Coco in cuba departing on 10th Sept and returning 24/25th Sept from London Gatwick.

    Can anyone beat this or offer a better deal at a similar standard of hotel?

    Not a travel agent but search holidays for myself, friends and family. On holidayhypermarket.com there are 4* from £785 from London AI for the dates you quote.

    Went to Cayo Coco about 5 years ago and its really picturesque but compared to the rest of the caribbean (we've been to Dominican Republic, Mexico, Jamaicia and Barbados as well) the standards are lower and the food pretty basic. That said we had a great holiday and I would go back.

    Why, oh why, do people find it so difficult to use the suggested format? :confused:

    STEP 2. Post your quote here to see if it can be beaten

    Click reply to this post (you must be registered to do this, it’s totally free, and is only necessary to stop spammers) and then post the best quote you have received so far, but don’t include your e-mail or any personal details (other than holiday details).
    Include the following:
    • The Quote itself:
    • Who the quote is from:
    • Is there a booking fee:
    • The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel:
    • The departure Airport/Post:
    • The Holiday Dates:
    • The number of people travelling (inc kids ages):
    • The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival):
    • The Board (self catering/half board etc):
    • Any specific requirements:
    • Is an in-flight meal included:
    Not doing so is unhelpful to those who may be able to offer assistance.

    Hamco - it would help if you said where you were flying from and how many people are travelling.

    sgebbie and inver31 are you one and the same person, or are your posts just a huge coincidence?

    Sorry, I thought this was a 'beat my quote' thread, not a 'find me a holiday as I can't be bothered to do it myself' thread :confused:

    Mushy,

    I think you should read the first post on this thread for info of how to use it. Basically you need a quote FIRST for someone to beat.
    Happy holiday hunting!
