This quote was provided for me yesterday by Holiday Hypermarket (First Choice). But after sitting with the FC rep for an hour I then realised she was just searching on the FC website and I could have booked the same deal from the comfort of my own home.

She did say that the holiday was exclusive to FC so they could not be beaten on price.

Holiday Village Flamingo Beach, Playa Blanca, Lanzarote.

Flights from Manchester on 2/9/10.
Returning from Lanzarote on 9//9/10.

All Inclusive in Standard 1 Bedroom Appartment.

2 Adults and 2 Children both under 2.

Price given as £1022. (Same as FC website).

If no one can beat it I would be grateful if anyone knows how I could angle for some money off from First Choice.

One thing I did notice from Tripadvisor is that the beach has been closed for the last few months with no signs of it re-opening soon. This was sold to me by the rep as being "beachfront" but there was no mention that we couldn't use the beach.

I was wondering if First Choice would discount the cost due to the location suffering from building work on the beach and it being closed.

Thanks in advance for your help.
