    Hi,

    Wondering if anyone can help. I'm hoping to go on a nice holiday for my 30th birthday next month. This is the best deal I've been able to find so far... I would be willing to go to different accommodation, but would like something of this standard. Although a cheaper price would be good, what I'd really like is slightly better facilities etc (eg flight & room upgrade) for the same kind of price. (eg under £2000)

    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Majestic Colonial
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): All Inclusive (not including room service)
    Any specific requirements: Would ideally like premium economy flights & a room that includes room service in AI package
    Is an in-flight meal included: Yes

    Let me know if I need to give any more details!

    Thanks

    We are trying to better the above quote. The villa has a games room and this is important to entertain the differing ages of children (and young adults). We may also want to include 2 further adults in this quote but keep it to 4 adults and 2 kids for now!

    Thanks
