    Hi!

    Im new to this so bear with me...

    We're looking to book a late deal to Mexico, most likely AI and at least 3* but we are flexible on the details. Im pretty sure the price is rock bottom but worth a try!

    Is there a booking fee: £36 late booking fee incl
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Cosmos
    The departure Airport/Post: Manchester
    The Holiday Dates: Mon 18th Jan - Mon 25th Jan
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults

    The Board (self catering/half board etc): All Inclusive
    Any specific requirements:

    Also, transfers are included in this quote and we can get cashback from quidco bringing it down to £1175. Another hotel we've looked at is the Riu Lupita (3*) with a quote from the same place at £1161.

    Thanks!

    The quote you have is really cheap

    You technically are paying for 3 adults one child because you oldest is 16, did you all fit into one room?

    I would double check with Alpha rooms about the hotel cost they can change at the booking stage

    Thanks
