Hi
My Husband and I (husband thanks to the romance of Arillas) Spent a week last year here and are returning next year with our 2 children and I'm so excited!
what I'm currently trying to work out as because it's for four of us this time if it would be better for us to find a tour operator or try to build a holiday using all locals??
Help :) just costing averages 2014 may
Any advice :(
Hi.
If you are going to be booking independently make sure you book flights as soon as they come out for the best prices. Which airports can you fly from?
There are a lot of places in Arillas you can book direct.

Going to be much cheaper independant I would STILL think but you would have missed the boat now for the really cheap flights which is a shame. As Barry said you need to get in early IF you can , I appreciate this isn't always possible though due to peoples circumstances.
If it's 2014 you are thinking of you will have to book your flights as soon as they are released later this year.
I have had to change my dates for my August visit this year and was hoping to go to the Mathraki again (going May/June) but hadn't booked Aug.
I am now finding it very difficult to get the dates I want and flights for independent bookings are coming out at £350 plus each. I have been looking since Jan!!

Thanks, yes it's 2014 we are going In may 2014 (August to hot for little ones).
I've found deals for flights and accommodation in May this year for 297 a person for flights and accommodation... Val so when are you going is it May/June or August...
If we were to go independent what things would I need to remember to book and that is why my post is so early as I know I need to look for flights as soon as they come out x
If you go independent you will have to cost in the price of transfers.
In May you should not need the air con.

Sorry Hannah , I was thinking 2013! I should actually read what you write! You haven't missed the boat on cheap flights then, he he. As Barry says no need for aircon in May so just need to add your taxi transfers to the price, lots of info on this site if you search. That reminds me I need to sort our minibus for May this year.
Hi Hannah we have booked May/June and usually go around middle of July as well....but had to hold off booking (I look after my grandsons in holidays) because my son-law changed his job and they could not honour his second holiday, we have all had to move forward to August, we didn't book because we thought this would happen but didn't know the dates for certain.
Daughter and family are going to Cornwall so they had no problem with August.
Mathraki Studios is with Thomsons and we can't get the week we want in Aug only ten days available, which we can't do. So are trying to get flights, accommodation is not a problem, (all very good in Arillas) but like I said the cheapest are coming out with luggage added at £350 each, plus a taxi £50 each way.......£800 then plus our accommodation costs for one week is a bit steep.
So I will keep checking and looking for cheaper flights, sickening considering we could have had those same flights when they were first released at about £140 each.
There are quite a few independent apartments with two bedrooms in Arillas some with pools, so your family should be ok.
Where did you stay last year? Some accommodation do both private and tour company bookings.
If you want any information just ask and you can be sure someone will have the answer here on the forum.

free transfers from to the airport like always:)
Anna studios are fine for four people and you don't have to worry about the transfers as Anna says.
