Great ESCAPES

PLATINUM RATED: Thomson is offering a series of discounts on its Platinum range of holiday destinations, all of which have to score ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ with at least 90% of customers, like the Hotel Natura Palace in Lanzarote (see picture), perched in a quiet spot next the promenade that leads to the centre of Playa Blanca. It’s available for two sharing from €634pp in June. Other hotels include the Los Gigantes in Tenerfie and the Altica Imperial Resort in Greece. See thomsonholidays.ie or call 1850 45 35 45.

DISNEY DISCOUNT: If family fun in Disneyland Paris this summer sounds appealing, Abbey Travel is offering free halfboard meals and a 20% discount on hotel bills. The offer is valid for arrivals until November 12 but the sale ends on June 30. It’s worth bearing in mind that children under seven get free hotel and park tickets for the entire stay. For example, a family of two adults and two children under seven staying for two nights in the Santa Fe Hotel works out at €680. That includes two nights half-board and three-day park tickets. Flights and transfers not included. See abbeytravel.ie

LONG-HAUL DEALS: Clickandgo.com has two offers: a 12-night Thailand escape for just under €1000 and 12 nights in Cancun & Las Vegas for €1699pps, staying in four-star hotels, with eight all-inclusive nights in the Allegro Playacar Resort in Cancun and four nights at Planet Hollywood, Las Vegas, room only. Flights included. See clickandgo.ie
