    Hi Guys

    I wont be working the rest of tonight, so please feel free to post quotes or send me a PM

    I will check the quotes tommorrow so hang fire before you book

    Can I just say too the First Choice Holiday Village Hotels are exclusive to Thomson/First Choice so the prices usually have a discount applied to them making no other agent competative against the cost

    There are other holiday villages around that are much better in some cases

    For instance the holiday village in Turkey is terrible had really bad reviews on food poisoning, to compare the hotel with something much nicer you have the Majesty Tuana in Fethiye which is really nice and has fantastic reviews and sometimes is a hell of alot less money

    Dont be tricked into the first choice ones!!!

    Speak soon

    We would REALLY like to book the Gran Bahia Principe Esmeralda (we went to the Gran Bahia resort last year) - they were just in the process of finishing the Esmeralda section but I cannot for the life of me find where to book - it is on American Sites and Canadian but I cannot find it through any UK booking agent!

    ESMERALDA would be our first choice...................

    Look forward to hearing from you.

    First post so here goes. Looking for a week away anywhere. Leaving Newcastle on betwen 8th and 13th August 2010 for one week hopefully half board/AI. Two adults. Only need one bag in hold if it helps.
    Total cost around £800. Found loads but bad reviews or without one attribute which I would prefer (gym). As I say have been looking but found this site so thought there may be some recommendations regarding decent food and nice position.

  • Hi :)
    First post on here so I've no idea if I'm doing it right...
    I'm looking for a late deal to Spain/Cyprus/Greece at a push. We'd like quiteness, and a beach, and there is two of us. Both over 18. We are looking to spend around £600 if possible, and fly next week (pref Monday, really want a break!)
    Have found Kos for £222 each, but can't speak a word of Greek so would much prefer Spain if possible...really not into clubbing, though, would much prefer somewhere to relax.

    Thank you so much!

    I would go for Greece without hesitation. No language problem as we have just returned from Cepahlonia.
