    Also using the above holiay details my sister has been quoted £3874 to fly out on the 23/08/10 for 10 nights. They are 2 adults, 3 children aged 12, 10 and 3.

    Would be grateful for a quote on both if possible. Thanks in advance.

    Have been unable to haggle as I can't find anyone else that does it! I even tried to contact hotel direct for a price and I would have booked flights seperately but they don't appear to have a website.

    Also there is another family of 5 flying out on the 23rd for 10 nights, and a family of 3 for 7 nights but don't know their details to request info

    Please also quote for B&B at same hotel, price to beat is £872.10 with 4% cashback, so £837.

    Thanks
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
