  • hi all i got this quote from first choice on line

    while im happy to pay this quote as pretty good compared to some tour operaters who wanted well over 4500 for the same holiday and room basis (standard room)

    what i really want is a junior suite ocean front room or beach front room
    i am happy to pay a bit more for this but not the 6k that some operators wanted

    First choice do a junior suite at this price £3874.00
    but i would pay this or as close as possible to this + - for a ocean or beach front junior suite
    im looking to book asap we can go a few days earlier and from any aiport in the uk
