Accommodation listings: Each accommodation listing now features only a “from” price. The From price has been calculated using the cheapest nightly rate available, i.e. lead in room type, low season, using the longest stay. If a free night offer is available, even if for part of a season, this has been included when calculating the from price. The room type used and the date range applicable have been included with the price on each listing. Where rates are supplied through third party suppliers, e.g. GTA, we have used the lowest rate available at the time the brochures were put together. We stress that all prices are provided as a guide only and will vary due to exchange rate fluctuations, seasonal surcharges, new fees and taxes, etc.
On the following pages you will find a comprehensive list of what’s new, what’s changed and a few handy hints to help create the best possible holiday experience for our clients.
