This is a really good price - its over £200 more on the travel agents system so well over the amount we could discount by. If you havn't already I'd get it booked as theres only 1 apartment left

Thanks thought it was a good deal just was not sure about the accommodation as the reviews are varied & wonder if this was reflected in the price.
