    • The Holiday Dates: 4th July to 7th July, but can travel from 30th June, need to be back by 11th July (would like 3 or 4 nights away)
    • The number of people travelling (inc kids ages): 2 adults

    The price of £466.54 for the 2 of them includes flights, accommodation, transfers and I bag. It doesn't have to be this hotel, its just that this is the cheapest I can see.

    Would appreciate if anybody can see anything cheaper.

    Thanks in advance.
