    Can anyone beat the quote below. I could be flexible on the hotel but it would have to be somewhere very close to where the hotel below is situated. The price below has gone up by £70 in the last few days, Is it likely to go up again if i leave it? I was assuming it could only go down with the current credit crisis.

    The Quote itself: £744
    Who the quote is from: Thomas Cook Webstite
    Is there a booking fee:No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Direct Holidays
    The departure Airport/Post: East Midlands
    The Holiday Dates: 21/03/09 - 28/03/09
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 Adults
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Oasis Dunas Corallejo
    The Board (self catering/half board etc):Self Catering
    Any specific requirements:None
    Is an in-flight meal included:Yes

    I would only have to pay about £70 up front for the above holiday.

    Many Thanks

    Rob
