    Are you sure this price is correct as i get £1017 total and thats flying into Barcelona airport and not reus so transfers on top of this will be more expensive.

    Sorry i hadn't realised it's actually H top Molinos hotel. We flew to barcelona last time and our transfers were reasonable price. However i've edited the quote as i found a direct flight for reus.

    I foolishly left it late to book this year and the prices are high for this resort and flights are getting fuller....

    We are slightly flexible with the dates (give or take say 4 days) but do want to go half board or all inclusive and it has to be in Cala Galdana.

    Any thoughts would be really welcomed.
    Cheers
    Nicola.
