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
