Ok this is a pretty simple request, we are a family of 3 and looking for a cheap and cheerfull break sometime this year, would like to try spain or greece but open to suggestions.
I went on a site called onthebeach.com and found a holiday in spain for just under £500 cheap I thought, but the site has recived mixed reviews!!!
So I went into my High St thompson branch, and chose a holiday for Sept 2009 just to gauge prices, well it was in Majorca hotel complex was called Protur Aparthotel Bonaire, it came out at a £1414.99 for 2 weeks self catering for 2 adultsand 1 child I thought that was very expensive, maybe im being unrealistic???
So I guess im asking you guys do u know any cheap fantastic sites or know of any holidays in gen which are cheaper and pref sooner lol

| It does seem a tad expensive for September next year, best thing you can do is trawl through the holiday sites, BUT always look for the ABTA and ATOL membership logos. When you find what you want try locating the same hotel with various agents, ( ring them ) give them the best price you got and ask can they beat it.Usually works, they all want your custom.

| If in any doubt check the ABTA and ATOL membership out.There is a link on the ATOL site for you to put the number in to check that the company is actually registered with them. Heres the link for you.
