    Hi, can anyone beat my quote?

    We've been here twice before and booked with Eclipse Direct/First Choice but they no longer fly here, it only seems to be Thomas Cook.

    We've always stayed in the bungalow rooms which were fantastic and would like these again.

    Our dates are flexible - can go any time from 12 July, but must return by 1st August.

    Would also consider flying from London if the prices were much cheaper than Manchester.

    Thanks!
