    Hi, I'm new so apologies if I get this wrong!
    • The Quote itself:£294 PP
    • Who the quote is from: bookablesun.co.uk
    • Is there a booking fee: no, but minimum of 1% fee on Debit card, 2.5% on credit cards
    • The Tour Operator/Airline/Hotel: Not sure
    • The departure Airport/Post: Gatwick
    • The Holiday Dates: 1-7 September (flexible about 3 days either side)
    • The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults
    • The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Camari Garden Hotel and Apts
    • The Board (self catering/half board etc): Self Catering
    • Any specific requirements: None
    • Is an in-flight meal included: Not sure(but do not think so)
    would really like this particular accommodation, but this is about £50 more than I'd like to spend on a self catered accommodation considering it does not include as far as I can tell, transfers, in-flight meals etc. Also, the flight back into Gatwick arrives at 00.30 so any other flight times as well would be great as I'd have to get a taxi home which is another cost.

    Thanks!
