    I have had a look at that sounds like a pretty good deal. Can't find cheaper but I'm a novice lol

    I did find a 5 star for a bit cheaper than that though if it doesn't have to be that hotel.

    Nope doesn't have to be that hotel, if you've found details of a 5* AI for less, I'd be very interested! I was looking at the Ocean View but it was about £200 more than this for 2 people - it'd be lovely if that was available :)

    Thought I'd found the best deal by booking flight/hotel separately but this is the cheapest I've seen yet!
    Is that a confirmed price or just the price you see on screen at Teletext?

    It was actually just one I'd seen on teletext - I'd not got round to calling them yet.

    It's gone up to £443 today, but spotted they charge 1% on debit cards which on a £886 holiday is quite substantial and makes it less of a bargain than booking it separately!

    You will also find there is probably no baggage,flight meals,transfers,fuel supplements etc included in the price you saw so these could be extras that will be added.

    That's true, but all things that I would have to consider when booking separately...

    Also I just realised that 1% of £886 isn't £88.60..... :o oops:

    The one I found was the Ali Baba Palace, but that seems to go up to £447 when you proceed to booking. On one site it says its a 5* and another says 4*.

    There is also Jasmine Beach Village 4* at £432pp and Aladin Beach Resort at £434pp.

    All are AI and include baggage and trasfers but I am not sure aboutin flight meals.

    The hotels looknice but I would suggest checking them out on Tripadvisor before you go.

    If you are interested in taking a look at any of these I will PM you with the details.
