    Is there a booking fee: No
    The Tour Operator Ramla Bay Resort Hotel. 2 rooms bed and breakfast
    The Holiday Dates: Dep 2nd/3rd Sept return 9th Sept
    The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 Adults, 1 Infant (0)
    The Hotel (or * if it’s allocate on arrival): Vangelis Hotel and Apartments
    The Board (self catering/half board etc): S/C

    Would also consider going anytime from 30th August for 7, 8, 9, 10 or 11 nights, but must be back by 10th September. Have stayed in Vangelis before as it is near to Fig Tree Bay I like it, but would consider others as long as it is close by.

    PM's please.

    Thanks,
