    Thanks very much for the info. I gave up on that particular hotel, and instead found a Thomas Cook package on the 5th at the Chich Khan for £360 each, less 4% topcashback = £691 altogether. I then phoned co-op who did it for £695, so saves messing around with cashback. Please don't tell me you could've done cheaper? :p

    EDIT: I've just looked you up on ABTA, you're Co op as well aren't you?


    I am Co-op yes - Don't forget to claim the Mmembers Points as well as them if you dont know how - I'm sure £695 is a fab price but give me a chance to beat next time and I will be very grateful. Have a Great Trip x

    Hi could anyone please help me out, we are looking for a 10-11 night half board/all inclusive holiday to Ibiza or Majorca.
    We have 4 adults (myself, husband, father, mother in-law)
    3 children (15,11,5 years)
    Im really looking to see how cheap we can do a minimum 3* beach holiday.
    2 of our children are Autistic (hence a short flight)
    The cheapest I have found is approx £4,000 half board, but I honestly do not know if this is a good deal or not, as we have only been abroad once & I have only looked at Major holiday companies. dates school summer holidays 24th July - 4th September.

    Many thanks for any help as much appreciated

    Hi - if they can do it at that price book it - but I bet they cant - the cheapest flight is Ryanair at £195 each no bags, and the belvedere is over £130pp for half board - so id snatch their hand off at £300 - but i think they will come up with some excuse why they cant do it at that price - if im wrong i'll send you a £10 gift voucher as a gesture of goodwill - Matt x

    That sounds more like it lol - what are they like - I'm £15 over this so if you havent booked already id take that - its half term so prices will drift up. Hope you have a great time. I loved Salou when i went.
