Cyprus may 2006

A friend of mine is getting married in Cyprus next year (28-30 may06). The group is staying in a hotel called the Vrissiana Beach Hotel. They are staying on an all inclusive basis. I am hoping to travel from Manchester but not essential. I have explored a number of options but the best deal I have come up with is between £2500- £3000 for 2 weeks for 2 adults + 13yr old. Based on previous holidays, I think that is a bit expensive even taking into consideration it will overlap a half term week. I am being realistic or a tight git

    Sloppychops, I fancied this one myself, but are you sure about the 'free child place'? Website appears to state 2-12 years.

    If booked as 3 adults, then price increases significantly to £1,929

    I quoted the 21st as alexmax said the wedding was 28-30 May and thought if the wedding wasnt till the 30th,booking the 17th would mean leaving the day after the wedding,sometimes not a good idea if you have been over doing it and you have a hang over .(not that i ever get a hang over lol well not often)

    Thanks for your response sloppychops. However the dates you have included do not correspond with the dates of the wedding which is May 10th. Also I do not think directholidays class 13 yr olds as children(eventhough our 13 yr old could not act adult like if his life depended on it). Also the rest of the group are all inclusive so I want the same really.
    Do you like a challenge sloppychops? , well do yeh huh?
  • Sorry I ment the wedding was June 10th not May 10th

    Sorry yes it is only up to age 12.Like 13 years old are adults i have a 20 year old that finds it hard acting like an adult never mind a 13 year old.
