    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults. early 30s.
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Maspalomas/Tabaiba Pricess. 4*. we could be flexible, but dont want a nasty surprise! (i've found cockroaches before!)
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): half board. (all inc would be nice but it looks too expensive.)
    Any specific requirements: not really.
    Is an in-flight meal included: yes. It's a thomson Platinum so also included is: 23kg checked luggage, priority transfer.

    Hi, if anyone can help i'd be grateful. We're looking at Maspalomas, Gran Canaria. We want swimming/sun/relaxation/trip to museum ect - we liked Rhodes 2yrs ago but it's a bit cold there now. The hotel looks like its got a very nice pool but we can be persuaded to a different one/resort/destination if you know better :D. Thank you!

    - holiday booked. thank you for your advice - we realised we could go somewhere similar for a more affordable price.
