Looking to go to the Playa Meloneras in Gran Canaria for 14 nights departing Bristol in 5th November. I want the Board basis to be All Inclusive.
Have been quoted £962pp by Purple Holidays via Ice Lolly.com which is a great price BUT have heard horror stories of them so very reluctant to book.
It does not have to be a package - am happy for a flight and hotel deal with 15kg of luggage per person. Not bothered about transfers.

Hello,
I have received a quote through Travelsupermarket with Balkan Holidays, travelling to Sunny Beach, Bulgaria and I wondered if anyone is able to beat the price that I have been quoted. The details are as follows:
£1383.80 for myself and 3 children aged 12, 14 and 16
Staying at the Apartment Fairies Palace in a one bedroom apartment self catering.
Travelling on the 5-12th August, flying from Norwich, transfers and luggage allowance included.
This cost does not include insurance, in flight meals and going through Quidco.
I am flexible on the dates and can travel between 28th of July and the 8th of August. I could also fly from Stansted.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, have a great day
