    • The Quote itself: £2640 ish (can't find the print out)
    • Who the quote is from: First Choice Online
    • Is there a booking fee: No
    • The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: First Choice
    • The departure Airport/Post: Manchester
    • The Holiday Dates: 30th June for 2 weeks
    • The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults + 2 children (9 and 7)
    • The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Holiday Village Flamingo Beach

    • Any specific requirements: Price included for the superior room (which was an extra £210)

    We're flexible on dates +- a week, but the end of June/first week in July suits best.
    ETA: Just had a chance to check on-line for price and it's gone up to £2834 excluding the room upgrade - chance possibly due to free child places going?
