    The Quote itself: £633.00 (flights) HK$9000 (hotel (approx. £790)

    We drove around Venetian Riviera last year and had no problems. Going to Tuscany this year, about 10 miles outside Florence. So hopefully it will be okay again.

    The Quote itself: £612.77
    Who the quote is from: On the Beach
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator : Unsure
    The Airline : Fly Globespan
    The departure Airport/Post: Aberdeen
    The Holiday Dates: 22nd - 29th June
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 Adults
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Terralta Apartamentos
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): Self Inclusive

    Picked the above hotel since its the best rated hotel in Benidorm according to Travel Advisor.

    Apologies but if anyone can find a better deal for either it would be much appreciated.
    We stayed at the Terralta appts last year.

    They are at the top of a steep hill, if thats a problem dont book there.
    It's a few Euros extra per day for English tv chanels (they scramble them otherwise)
    Theres a little shop there selling basics like bread,milk,tbags, but its expensive.
    Theres a cafe/resteraunt/bar there selling basic stuff like pie and chips pizza ect, not bad, but really just like a greasy spoon.

    Outdoor pool is quite big but was cold when we went.
    Indoor pool was small but very hot.

    Good appartments, there were no laddish blokes there when we went , so was very quiet(the way we like it), but cant speak abut other times.

    10 mins walk from main strip and probably 15 mins wal from old area of town.
    Oh and they have an internet cafe there, but no WiFi at all.

    Id stay there agin if i ever returned to benidorm.
