  • Hi

    I've been quoted £525 (with discount code) by Low Cost Holidays for:

    Hotel Los Mirlos/Tordos, Palma Nova
    2 adults, 1 infant aged 1
    2/5/12-9/5/12
    all inclusive, no flights
    i realise it's very early though and a lot of operators aren't able to quote yet.

    many thanks
