  • Hi,

    The offer I found last night for you to the Riu's has come down slightly today so is now £499pp 25th April 7nts Mambo ro Merengue. This includes transfers & in flight meals (take off £17pp if you dont want meals).

    Alternatively I know you cant make 14days but could you do 10nts? out of sat 26th back into uk on wed 7th may? same hotels for 10nts = £575pp

    Who is the quote with? Riu is often an exclusive Thomson product which is why you might not get alternative prices.

    I posted this last week on the Beat My Quote board but not had a reply. Cany anyone hel;p?

    Many thankls



    Hi,
    Wondering if anyone can beat this price. I have shopped around a little and looked at booking flights and hotel seperate (hotel through the likes of Travel Republic and Hotelopia) but can't find it cheaper than Thomson.

    There is a bit of flexibility in the dates but wanted to avoid half term and also not wanting to be too late in Nov. Would also consider mid October.

    If Thomson are the cheapest then does anyone know of any codes or any way of getting it cheaper with them?

    The Quote itself: £1368
    Who the quote is from: Thomson.co.uk
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Sheraton La Caleta
    The departure Airport/Post: East Midlands
    The Holiday Dates: Depart 12/11/08 @ 11.35 Return 19/11/08 @ 17.00
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 Adults, 1, 1 Infant
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Sheraton La Caleta
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): B&B
    Any specific requirements: Price includes Private Taxi Transfer
    Is an in-flight meal included: No

    Many thanks
