You will have to bear with the website, I have booked a cheap holiday for 2 in May for £320 in Zante.
They are running some discounts, so have a play with some destinations and go through the hotel options for a proper quote and you will find some good discounts.
Compare the prices to sister websites manos.co.uk and mytravel.com and see the huge savings. The holiday i booked - the flights alone when puchased separate was £150 dearer let alone the hotel costs and transfers.
I think there is a glitch in the site where instead of adding some charges, it debits them.

to be honest these sorts of prices seem to increasingly common for the caribbean. we found plenty of offers for the same sort of amount last year when looking for our holiday in cuba. whilst its not a bad deal by any stretch of the imagination, i wouldnt say it was a 'bargain' either under the circumstances :cool:
as an aside, we flew thomas cook to cuba, and whilst there are no doubt worst airlines, i wouldnt list TC as one of the best. wouldnt rush to fly with them again.know thyselfNid wy'n gofyn bywyd moethus...0 -

I gained about one stone after that trip and it took me ages getting rid of it again. Even though we liked the DR, we usually go to new places we haven't been to before. Mind you, If we don't find anything else, I'd be quite happy going back to Fun Tropicale again. Thanks for your to me funny post.
