  • The Quote itself: 1592.52
    Who the quote is from: Thomas Cook
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Thomas Cook online
    The departure Airport/Post: Birmingham
    The Holiday Dates: 16 August
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults and 1 8 yo child
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Paloma Beach Resort
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): All Inclusive
    Any specific requirements: All inclusive ice cream! I have a disability so can't walk far so an appropriately located room (doesn't need to be special)

    I would consider a 10 day, or even a 14 day from 14 August if the money was right.

    If any agent knows of a similarly well trip adviser reviewed hotel in the resort which is AI and has water slides and AI ice cream I would consider

    Thanks
