Hi

I don't have a quote as we are pretty open. Looking for Cyprus (Nissi Bay would be good but not limited to that only) from 16 September 2011 (or 17,18,or 19) for 7 nights. All inclusive with a kids club for a family of 4 (2 adults one 5 year old and one 8 month old baby) or a similarly nice hot location. Kids club and all inclusive are our important bits. Happy children happy Mummy and Daddy :-) Anyone point us in the right direction or quote us for anything that would be fab. Thanks

Also been looking at Eden Apartments in Puerto Rico (quoted £300 pp with Teletext Holidays) and tour operator is Low Cost Holidays. From Bournemouth, same dates, Puerto Rico, Gran Canaria again.

Happy to fly from Southampton as well, but can't do any dates during last week of September - October is free up until 9th.

Would consider full board.


If anybody can beat either of these I'd be very interested to hear.

I dont work in short haul anymore but these prices seem a little cheap to be honest

I suspect they are with Ryanair flights and you will have baggage to add and card charges, also transfers

If you ring these guys you will most likely be looking at £400 upward for the same holiday

Thank you, Del. You're completely right, of course. I'm such a donut! Didn't even think.

Back to the drawing board then.

We just wanted to go anywhere guaranteed hot/warm for the first week of October, short-haul, flying from Southampton or Bournemouth, all inclusive for 1 week. We were hoping to spend no more than £320 ish. I'm now beginning to realise that's a tall order!

Thanks again for your help, Del!
