    Hi, I'd really appreciate if someone could please tell me if my quote could be beaten?

    The Quote itself: £2298
    Who the quote is from: First Choice
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: First Choice, Grand Palladium Colonial - Mexico
    The departure Airport: Manchester
    The Holiday Dates: Tuesday 4th December 2012 - 14 nights
    The number of people travelling: 2 adults

    There are 4 resorts on the one complex that you have access too. They are Grand Palladium Colonial, Grand Palladium Kantenah, Grand Palladium White Sand & Grand Palladium Riviera, so I would stay at whatever one comes up best value.

    I could also travel Saturday 8th December if cheaper.

    Do you think my quote can be beaten?

    Thanks :)
