Looking to go to the Dominican republic for 2 weeks in January
Received the below quote, wondering if anyone can offer anything better.

Want a 4*, preferable the Riu Mambo, or any of the other Riu hotels, or the Victoria Golf and beach resort or the gran ventana. Must be all inclusive, flexible with dates, any time in Jan. Saturday departure would be good, although would consider other days.

Basically I'm looking for a 7 day all inclusive holiday leaving between the 16th - 30th March in any location that is hot. Ideally looking for a 4/5 star hotel close to the beach and leaving from London. I don't care about location as long as it's got the above (hot and beach). I am also looking to no spend as much as £530 as my partner and I have just moved house so all our money has been tied up with that.

Thanks in advance
