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 advice0 -
Flights booked direct with Easyjet for £235pp.
Now need hotel

All inclusive
