    Just to let everyone know, I have booked the above holiday with 2bookaholiday.com Got it going from Manchester on the 5th for £1999. Seen it on teletext holidays and foned them up. Was by far the cheapest for the family room we wanted, saved over £600. Just so everyone knows that is another place that they should check.

    The deal wasnt on their website though. It was only as cheap calling them for some reason.
