  • Hi

    Can anyone advise a holiday for a family of 4 (2 Adults and 2 Children aged 14 and 7 on return) departing from Liverpool or Manchester on 2/3/4th April 2010 to Tenerife. Looking for 4* AI for 7 nights. Trying to find a price no more than 1300 in total. Have tried searching through OTB and Sunmaster but when I check out reviews for such prices on TripAdvisor, the accomodation is poorly rated. Looking through a named site ie Thomas Cook etc I can find a well reviewed accomodation but the price is ridiculous (2k +)!!!!!!!!!!
    Many thanks for any advice
  • Flights booked direct with Easyjet for £235pp.
    Now need hotel

    5th May - 16th May 2010 (11nights)
    All inclusive
    Naama Bay, Sharm
    2 x double rooms

    Am really keen on Hilton Sharm Dream but cheapest we can get is £984.26 on alpha rooms. Was hoping to spend about £850 per room max. Can you beat this price for Hilton Sharm Dream or find another decent hotel in Naama Bay, all inclusive for £850?
