  • Hi,
    I am looking for a quote for the Hi Binimar Hotel, Calan Forcat, Menorca (details below). I originally found it for £395 last week on the on the beach website but by the time i'd got home to book it has risen to £460. The cheapest I can find at the moment is on hotels4u.com as shown below but would really like to get it for under £400.

    The Quote itself: £437.48
    Who the quote is from: hotels4u.com
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel:
    The departure Airport/Post: n/a
    The Holiday Dates: 1/08/2010 - 8/08/2010
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults 1 child aged 4
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Hi binimar, menorca
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): self catering
    Any specific requirements: no
    Is an in-flight meal included: n/a


    Also does anyone have any ideas if it is best to book now with 6 weeks to go or leave it nearer the date, our flights are already booked and i keep noticing that the prices keep randomly going up and down so not sure when best to book.

    Sorry for rambling, any help would be greatly apreciated :rotfl:
    Thankyou x
