  • Hi

    We're looking for a winter sun holiday in the Canaries. I admit to being quite fussy so my preference would be to go back to a hotel I've already been to and liked, but I'm finding the quotes very high, particularly given the fact that Thomson and First Choice seem to want to charge the full adult price for my two year old. Please help if you can - I appreciate these hotels I am looking at are quite popular but would like to get total quote down to £1200-£1400 - is it too much to ask?

    The Quote itself: £1706.12
    Who the quote is from: Cosmos
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Cosmos/Bahia Principe Tenerife
    The departure Airport/Post: LGW (but also consider Luton)
    Holiday Destination : Tenerife - Playa Paraiso
