the riverside regency is sold out!!!! It was available yesterday, but today when i phoned to confirm the price, the operator told me more or less all their 2star hotels were sold out because theres not a lot of availability and lots of people are booking at the moment for some cheap sunshine.
The closest price i managed to get was with thomascook to the Somy resort in Calangute, for 2hundred pounds more than the regency was.
To be fair, the flight times are much better, and with a better airline, but it always feels good to get a good deal doesnt it.
Oh no Yummymummy
Don't give up, I'm sure you will be able to find another good deal somewhere else.

Thanks Donna, i was looking forward to the riverside as well. I dont know what to do, as we cant book until Monday. So it looks like i will have to phone around a lot of people.
Jane, we are looking for either Saturday 24th Jan, Sunday 25th, or Monday 26th (this day being the latest).
if you fly from gatwick 24/1/09 £393 for 2 weeks directline holidays
just gone in again 15 mins later and its sold out !!! sorry 
Considering all the gloom and doom the only cheap deals are to the Palmarinha and Osborne both currently £391 per person from E Midlands on the 13/1.( Neither which I fancy!) For later dates, still quite expensive.
Yummymummy, Jewel in the Crown have the Riverside Regency available on 24th January from Gatwick for £469 per person.
whats wrong with palmarinha .. hotel reviews on here look ok, booked to go on 12/01/09, east midlands. thanks..
Thanks a lot for looking Jane 
Lovemyhols - thanks, i have seen a few 'cheap' deals from Gatwick, but by the time we have paid for petrol and car parking, it will add up to the same cost as flying from Manchester.

Byron Palmarina is ok but it is too far out and you have to get a taxi to go anywhere.
Yummymummy well done for finding a deal to suit your budget, they have been over pricing themselves and tourist's have been down by about 40%.

Hi Mike, in the end the cheap deal i saw was sold out 
, so i had to go with the next cheapest (somy resort) , we paid £1300 for 3 of us, including coach transfers.

One way to look at it is. 3 round trips 28,902 miles at four and half pence per mile, hotel and coach transfers free!!!
Hmm, now that doesnt sound too bad
stayed at palmarina last year had a great time and those taxis are so so expensive 
A single taxi might not appear expensive but if you take 4 a day it soon adds up to a not inconsiderable sum over the course of a couple of weeks. Bearing in mind we are talking about last minute cheap deals budget is presumably an issue.
I agree Dave about Taxis, I was taking taxis every day a day to Morjim, a trip to Vagator and this did mount up. After a couple of weeks I got buses, walked more, hired a bicycle and realised I had so much more money!
Unless you have a regular long-time taxi driver you WILL realise the hike in taxi prices.

Palmarina is far better than the Riverside Regency, you also get a flight with FC instead of rubbish airways cattle truck but why use a taxi when you can hire a car for 500 Rs or less a day or use their transport to the beach
