As an agent who often sends quotes to people when I can and when it will actually be worth my while(!) - I rarely get a reply in return. So it gets a bit depressing to put in work trying to find good prices and not get even a "thanks but we've booked already"

If you don't get an answer, its probably because you have the lowest price already?

thanks very much for saying that Olly. I hadn't even thought of that. It really does make sense. (I'm just too self obsessed to have thought of it until it was pointed out!!)

I haven't had an answer. Maybe I was just being too optimistic thinking that I could get this holiday for less

I have a quote of £1902 from Luxury Holidays on behalf of Libra although this isn't the cheapest I've had the site that was cheaper (Libra's own site) is currently down, although I think it was about £1750. I would like to get this as close to £500 each as I can.

*Cyprus
*Protaras
*3 Adults (1 bed apartment)
*Leaving Wed 3rd August 07:00 flight from Bristol (although we may be flexible on flight time and date up to Sat 6th August)
*14 Nights
*Either the Toxotis, Livas or Isaac Apartments (preferably the Toxotis)
*Self Catering
*Air conditioning units in both rooms

If car hire for 14 days included helps the deal it will be considered...

Thanks in advance!
