    Hi Fused

    Ive actually stayed at this hotel - very nice

    OK so the full price is £797 soi theyve given you a big discount already - but I can still beat them and get it down to £720 per person. Everything like for like

    The meal on the flight isnt included with that Tour Op by the way

    Just to update, spoke to matt this morning, and a lovely guy, did what he said, at the price he quoted, which was pretty good... so I've booked, and shall be off to Makadi Bay in October with the Mrs to be.

    Thanks Matt.

    The Quote itself: £664.20 (total for 2 people)
    Who the quote is from: Thomson
    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Thomson, Katerina Palace Studio
    The departure Airport/Post: Gatwick - Zante
    The Holiday Dates: 5th Sept - 13th Sept (hotel until the 12th)
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Katerina Palace Studio

    Any specific requirements: I'm planning to buy an extra night separately for the 12th - 13th so we aren't hanging around in the early hours for the flight - this is an additional £39 online, if you can include this in your quote great, but no problem if not, I'll just book it myself as I'm intending if I book the holiday with Thomson. Thanks
