I am trying to work out whether it is better to try to snag a cheap(ish) airfare and book all accommmodation ourselves, or book a minimum night package deal and book remaining time ourselves.

Previous posts have indicated that it works out better to take the minimum night package but it gets a bit messy when their are children involved.

I have noticed on my previous accommodation quotes that the prices quoted per adult have changed depending upon the level of accommodation quoted for e.g.superior/delux/executive, but that the prices for our children have remained the same regardless of the accommodation choices given.

So I would like to know if anyone has had any experience in booking a package for 2 adults and 2 children into a room type that accommodates 2A/1C and securing their own upgrade into a larger room or an ajoining room?

I am guessing that if we can book into a basic room and then upgrade ourselves it will probably work out cheaper to book a package.

Don't mean to sound "penny pinching" but we are trying to do a longer holiday and any savings in the initial "getting there" would be good.
