    This is the same hotel as last year, but I think the price is too high.
    It is situated in Shark's Bay, which is what we prefer. We tried the River Island View(not garden) but they have no vacancies on these dates. The Hilton was the only other alternative we were interested in. Because of work, there's not a lot of flexibility on dates.:)

    Thanks For trying anyway Del,

    To be honest we really only budgeted to a maximum of £800. We got carried away in the travel agents as I'm sure you've witnessed.

    We would be grateful if you could suggest anything for a week that would fit our budget better.
