    dmg - Only place i wouldnt go - Kenya, for obvious reasons.

    Thanks to these forums, i've been to egypt 6 times loved it (including a wonderful £6 a night in 4* hotel deal found here by saveapenny, thanks!) Done carribbean twice. Had lots fun on cheap trips to tunisia and morroco. This time, just looking for somewhere warm - hot, even if ive been there before. Open to suggestion. Any ideas welcome!

    Thankyou x

    I did a quick Google and found that Mercury Direct are advertising no single supplements for selected dates/accomodation.

    One example (although there is a supplement on these dates)

    Crown Resort Horizons Hotel, Coral Bay, Cyprus

    Deps 01/02 to 29/02

    10 nights HB £329 + SS £140 = £469
    14 nights HB £379 + SS £196 = £575

    Single supplement £14 per night

    If you have a good look through the site you may well find the dates for which no single supplements apply match with the dates you wish to travel.

    The Coastline Hotel in Malta has no single supplements for your dates.
