The cost of a stint abroad is dropping ever further and all-inclusive holiday deals are leading the way. We spotted a four-star effort starting from €53 per day.
Holidaymakers are aiming to establish exactly how much their trip to the sunshine is going to cost and as a result, travel agencies are reporting a surge in the popularity of the all-inclusive deal option.
There is a definite advantage to knowing how much you are going to cough up for meals, drinks and entertainment before you head off.
Panorama has just released a large selection of all-inclusive deals for the month of May, with prices starting from the aforementioned €375 per week for four-star accommodation in Crete.
The offers cover three and four star properties in 12 destinations spread across Turkey, Greece, Portugal and Spain, and include all meals, snacks, non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks, evening entertainment and use of hotel facilities.
The four-star Gouves Park in Crete is on offer for €375 per person sharing for 6 May departure.
The Algarve remains a favourite with Irish holidaymakers and Panorama has a number of all-inclusive deals in the area. The four-star Delfim Hotel in Alvor available from May for €635, and the Dom Pedro Golf resort in Vilamoura for €756 on 15 May.
The Villa Marina Club in Salou on the Costa Dorada in Spain offers terrific value in May, from €415 departing 6 or 15 May, while Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol can be enjoyed for €499 (Gardenia Park).
Turkey
All-inclusive destinations for Turkey in May include the four-star Delta Beach Resort in Yalikavak from €479, the Bathian Hotel in Kusadasi from €449 and the Piril Hotel in Cesme from €539.
Menorca, from €449, Majorca from €489, Fuerteventura from €549, Lanzarote from €545, Tenerife from €635 and Zakynthos from €619 complete the special May offers. All prices are per person based on two sharing and include taxes and charges.
“The prospect of accommodation, meals, snacks, drinks and entertainment for as little as €53 a day must be very appealing for families struggling with the cost of living here in Ireland,” says Brian Nevin of Panorama Holidays.
“We haven’t seen this level of value for years and it helps explain the popularity of the all-in holiday. Also, people are very much in budgeting mode, and all-inclusive allows them to enjoy their holiday knowing in advance exactly what it’s going to cost them.”
