  • Sioban....assume that includes FOUR checked in suitcases? If it does book it now as it's a great price! Have you actually spoken to otbeach to get the quote? I ask this as if searching on their web-site the price may be different as their site is not live. If you've got it off the web-call them asap & make sure price includes all cases/check-in fees. A taxi is only 8 euros roughly e/way so not worth booking transfers. Do let us know!
  • Will send you a PM
