Can Anyone help with Last Minute Package?

Looking for a cheap deal, for 7 days, from Cardiff Airport... latest date we can get back is Monday 11th September so ideally leaving between 30th August and 4th September.

Will also consider Bristol airport.

Don't care where we go, would prefer HB but will consider SC, am a little fussy about accomodation so looking for 3* or at least 2* with reasonable reviews on trip advisor.... must be near the beach.

Budget of around £250-300 pp ... am I going to make it? Have checked all the usual suspects and best one I found so far was directholidays.co.uk but the holiday I wanted was travelling from Bristol and horrific hours of travelling (get in to Kos at 2am, depart Kos at 1am.. bleh!)

Please help!
