just a quick note, we booked about 2 months ago when we got the price we were willing to pay.

we booked with direct holidays online from manchester which is surcharged and got 2 weeks at prazeres for £500 each all in.

prices seem to have come down a little since then but not much, the moral being if youre happy paying the asking price, book it!

we missed out on marinha dourada for a little less as we were messing about asking people who said they wanted to come too for a deposit.never again, we will book when we feel hapy now and if anyone else wants to come along thay can book off their own back.candolim/calangute/baga area has that many hotels even if availability has gone at the one we booked, theres plaenty of other hotels within walking distance!
