fire blade you said you had been quoted £1193 for a holiday...can you please tell me which palace are you stopping in......

[Steve & Lou]

Ha ha, lol you would of thought it be a palace for the price (Mirage) but thats the £168 under occupancy they are trying to charge us!! (Thomas Crook)

Fireblade,is the third person in the room a child? If so then it may be worth asking who ever booked it for you to recheck price but puttting in 3 adults.Sometimes works out cheaper.I always do that when pricing self catering accommodation.

Thanks Jen for the advice, but the problem is we never paid this for the last two times we stayed at the Mirage, so why now? But that makes sense to book third adult!

As I mentioned further up the thread prices are at the maximum at the moment and this is unusual. Normally you will look at a brochure and then book you holiday, you however very rarely pay this maximum or static price you normally pay a fluid price which is market driven. Summer 2008 is going to be an all new one so with no market to compare it against the prices are naturally inflated.

Its not that the prices have gone up, its that none of the usual discounts are being applied. If I am honest this will probaly be the case until Summer 2009 unless sales are bad which so far they have not been.

Also there does seem to be a bug with the Mirage on Thomascook.com if you want this property actually call us or head into a Travel Agent don't book online it seems to only return results when you book for 3 people.
