How much are you paying for AI?

I’m not sure if I’m being tight or naive. Just looking for holidays for this summer. 2 years ago we did a TUI AI in Mallorca and it was probably the first holiday I’ve had since kids that has actually felt like a holiday and I got to relax.

So looking for this summer. In August, so school holidays, and admittedly I am looking at 4 and 5 star resorts as want something nice. The one that is my favourite is almost £8k for 10 days and I’m struggling to justify that. I see Ikos is recommended on here often but that seems to be more like £12-15k. Is that what people are paying for this type of holiday??

I personally wouldn’t go AI if not big drinkers.

However, if you want too, the Papagayo Arena hotel in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote is pretty good. £5k for 10 nights. Playa Blanca is a nice resort with a Marina close to the hotel (about 15 mins) and a nice town around 30 mins further - they have a coastal path that runs for about 10 miles. The Papagayo beaches next to the hotel are lovely.

That's called Sandos Papagayo now. Have stayed there lots of times.

It's really not, it's worth every penny.

Totally disagree, it was nowhere near the standard of our UAE or far away holidays however was the same price point.

3k for turkey. Paid less last year for similar but prices have gone up stupidly now. Won't be doing it again but AI always better value for us. Also better value if you drink at all in Turkey as even a couple of glasses of wine is expensive outside hotels.
