    Hi mrshoneypie
    I can always beat Jet2holidays direct prices 
    But I'm looking on their website for those dates and they only have 1 x 3 bedroom apartment left - no 2 bed apartments
    BUT - I did get a price of £5280 for 2 adults 2 kuids so maybe its that (you've put 4 adults 2 kids) 
    If its that I can beat that by over £100
