    How useless of me! Sorry.

    It was for the Riu Yucatan.

    We would also consider the Riu Playacar or the Riu Tequila but the Yucatan was the one we quoted for and prefer.

    Thanks

    The Quote itself: £549pp
    Who the quote is from Away Holidays
    Is there a booking fee: no
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Bangkok Palace (Hotel)
    The departure Airport/Post: Heathrow
    The Holiday Dates: 7 nights, room only, departing 13/06/2011
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 Adults
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival):Bangkok Palace (hotel)
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): Room only

    Just for further information, We're (2 people) looking for a trip any time between the dates of Friday 10/06/2011 and Wednesday 22/06/2011 to anywhere in Thailand. Ideally we would like the trip to last 7 to 10 nights, with cost being the main decider. I'd prefer journey time not to be more than 17 hours each way. The star rating of the hotel doesn't matter to us. We have no preference with regard to board-type, we're happy for room only should that be the cheapest option.

    Thanks for your help guys!

  • Does anyone know who would deal with Monarch bookings - i have seen a good deal on Monarch's site, but wondered if there is anyone else who may compete and offer a more competitive deal?
