00:00 This might be the cheapest holiday deal that I have found to date.
00:04 And by cheapest I mean best value for money.
00:06 So this is for a family of four travelling to the Algarve for seven nights,
00:11 self-catering, with luggage, fast-track security and private transfers all included.
00:17 If you didn't add the private transfers it would be under £200 per person,
00:21 but with the transfers it's £211 per person.
00:24 So here are the details.
00:25 So this is the hotel, or the apartment complex,
00:28 and it looks really clean, it's got great reviews,
00:32 it looks really child-friendly as well, which is important if you're going with kids.
00:35 There are two pools, it's on the beachfront and there's a buffet restaurant.
00:39 There's a gym, golf and sports as well.
00:42 So this is on the 17th of April.
00:45 We want it really cheap but it gets gradually more expensive throughout the year,
00:48 but to be fair it's still very affordable even in the summer months.
00:52 So I would suggest maybe saving this if you want to go on holiday later in the year.
00:56 The flights are with Ryanair, obviously if you wanted an earlier flight out
00:59 then you could change that there.
01:01 This includes two hold bags between the four of you,
01:04 but obviously you can just add more if you wanted to.
01:06 This is self-catering but you can upgrade to all-inclusive for just £133 each.
01:11 This is for just like a bog-standard room but you can upgrade it as well.
01:14 If you go on to the next page you can add the transfer,
01:17 and the shuttle and private transfer only have 30p difference in the price.
01:22 So personally I'd go for the private transfer.
01:25 Here's how you can save over £600 on this five-star holiday to Dubai.
01:29 So these are the flights, they're with Emirates and it's at 2.55 departure and 8.20 departure.
01:35 And the flights are from Stansted.
01:37 There's 20kg of luggage included per passenger
01:39 and it is for a deluxe studio with bed and breakfast
01:42 at the Duke's Palm Royal Hideaway Hotel.
01:45 Seven nights for two adults.
01:47 And the total price for this is £2,626.46.
01:51 But if you head to On The Beach and you search the same hotel,
01:54 the same departure airport, the same day, seven nights for two adults, see what comes up.
01:58 So you can see we've got exactly the same flights with Emirates at the same times
02:01 with 20kg of whole luggage included per passenger.
02:04 Breakfast is included, it's a deluxe studio king double with transfers included too,
02:09 and even free lounge access at the airport and free fast track security
02:13 which is not included in the first deal I showed you.
02:16 And you can book it with a £30 per person deposit and pay monthly instalments.
02:20 And the total for this is just £1,972.14.
02:24 So if we compare that to the first deal that was £2,626.46,
02:28 that's a saving of £654.32 for the exact same holiday.
02:33 Plus you get loads of added perks.
02:35 So to me it's a no-brainer, head to On The Beach.
