IMPORTANT INFORMATION
All the information that follows is correct at the time of printing, but please check for changes when booking.
Additional Beds
Prices for three and four people sharing a room are available on request at most hotels; many do not charge for children who share the standard beds already in a room (usually two double beds). There is normally a charge if additional beds are required and these will usually be of a rollaway or camp-bed style and may make the condition of the room somewhat cramped.
Departure Tax
be available seasonally.
All UK departure taxes (which vary according to the class of travel) and UK airport passenger facility charges (which vary by departure airport) are pre-paid and added to the cost of your air ticket and will be quoted at the time of booking. Please refer to the Travel Tips for information on departure taxes of the country to which you are travelling and ensure you have sufficient local funds available.
Insurance
We consider adequate travel insurance to be essential. Travel insurance is widely available and your travel agent will have a policy available for you to purchase. Please read your policy details carefully and take them away with you. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance cover you purchase is suitable and adequate for your particular needs.
Disabled Passengers
We are able to give advice to disabled passengers to assist in choosing a holiday to meet your requirements. Please provide us with full details of your disability at the time of booking so that we can recommend suitable accommodation. We will also advise the airlines of any assistance required during your flights.
Maintenance
Renovations and/or construction work may sometimes be taking place at your chosen hotel/resort during your stay. When we have been advised of such cases and consider that it may affect the enjoyment of your holiday we will notify you as quickly as possible. However, while every effort will be made, it may not always be possible to advise you of emergency repairs to facilities such as swimming pools prior to your departure from the UK.
Baggage Allowance
Free baggage allowance varies by airline and destination so please ask at the time of booking for details of the aircraft used on your itinerary. Most commonly, 20kg is allowed for Economy Class travellers, 30kg for Business Class and 40kg for First Class; and one small carry-on bag. There is a limit of 5-10kg for domestic flights operated by light aircraft. Excess charges apply if your allowance is exceeded on any flight.

Meals
When purchasing holiday arrangements on a half board, full board or all inclusive basis, please note that some hotels require that meals may only be enjoyed in the main restaurant. A supplement may be required to dine in other restaurants, or when ordering certain food or beverage items from the à la carte menu or drinks list.
Brochure Accuracy
Please be aware that brochures are written and produced many months in advance, and we endeavour to check the accuracy of the prices and information at the time of printing. Inevitably, however, changes and errors can sometimes occur and we ask you therefore to check for the latest holiday details at the time of booking. In addition to hotel information, please bear in mind that changes and alterations can also affect escorted tour, cruise and pre-planned self-drive itineraries. This may be due to local holidays, festivals or special events, adverse weather conditions, essential maintenance projects or other circumstances outside our control.
Health
This information below is based on information obtained from the Department of Health's publication Health Advice for Travellers' and is intended only as a guide, as recommendations do change. Before travelling we strongly advise you to consult your own medical practitioner who will be in the best position to take into account any relevant personal factors or newly-reported epidemics. Everyone travelling abroad is recommended to be vaccinated against Poliomyelitis (Polio), Tetanus and Diphtheria. Most people will have been immunised for these as children and will only require a booster your medical practitioner will advise you of the type of vaccination you require. If you intend to travel via a Yellow Fever infected area, immunisation is essential as some countries, such as Brazil, require a proof of immunisation certificate in their entry regulations. The other main vaccinations or medication to be considered are against Hepatitis A, Malaria and Typhoid. If you are prone to illness please ensure that you carry enough medication with you as some medicines may not be available locally. Stomach upsets can be common on any holiday but in particular on long haul holidays, due to the change in climate and diet.
Passport & Visas
A ten-year British or EU passport is essential for travel to any of the destinations featured within this brochure and must be valid for at least six months after your intended date of return. It is your responsibility to ensure that all your travel documents, including passport and vaccination certificates are in order and in your possession when travelling. The information given in the Travel Tips in this brochure applies to British Citizens holding either a British or EU passport and travelling on holiday. You should check with your travel agent for further details on visa regulations if you are a non-British passport holder, a British subject travelling on either a British or EU passport, a citizen of another EU country or if you are travelling on business. All passengers flying to or via the USA must have machine-readable passports.
Check-in & Check-out times
Generally, check-in times range between 2pm and 4pm, and check-out between 11am and 12 noon. Subject to the availability of rooms, you may be able to check in earlier. However, early check-in is at the discretion of the hotel and cannot be guaranteed unless you book and pay for the accommodation from the night prior to arrival.
Rooms
Most hotel prices are based on a standard room for up to two adults, with upgraded room types available at a supplement; meals are only included where stated. Rooms are generally allocated on a 'run of house' basis, which means you can be allocated a room in any part of the property although the hotel will endeavour to allocate you the best available room within the requested category at check-in.
