    I'm going to try this again with new departure airport, as we've found it's a lot cheaper from Edinburgh.

    The Quote itself: £2347 for all of us

    Who the quote is from: ulookubook
    Is there a booking fee: No

    The departure Airport/Post: Edinburgh
    The Holiday Dates: August 2nd 2011

    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Pollentia Club Resort, 4* (chosen based on excellent tripadvisor reviews, looks good on site but mainly - kids club will take our 3 year old)

    N.B 10 days (which I would certainly prefer) is £3105. If anyone can significantly beat that, even better!
