Hi, My wife and myself are hoping to go on holiday to the Gran Bahia Principe Riviera Maya, Mexico for 2 weeks from 9th April 2012. Best price we can get is from First Choice £1158pp for a standard room staying at the Akumal section. Apparently First Choice only have a contract with the Akumal section. We would prefer to stay at the Tulum section with a sea view room. Either that or at the Coba. Can you beat the price we have been quoted?
Failing that could you upgrade us to a Junior Suite (sea-view) at the Akumal? What's your best price?0 -
