We ask that you please advise of any dietary requirements at the time of booking so that we can make the resort team aware before your arrival. The hotels can cater for most dietary needs but some will have to be double checked with the hotel. We highly recommend talking to one of our Travel Experts if in doubt.

Amendments

All amendments to bookings can either be requested by telephone to the After Sales Department on 0330 311 1504 or by email, to customerservices@markwarner.co.uk  (if you have booked direct with us). We will endeavour to assist if we can.

Once we have issued the confirmation invoice, there will be a charge of £50 per occasion a change is made (if the change can be made) except as set out below.

Changes made within 12 weeks of departure will be treated as a cancellation of the original arrangements by you and cancellation charges will apply. However, if the change is to increase the number of persons booked, no amendment fee or cancellation charges will be payable.

Similarly, no amendment fee or cancellation charges will apply for a name change where the holiday arrangements otherwise remain exactly as originally booked unless flight tickets have been issued. In this case, an amendment fee of £50 per occasion will be payable if on charter flights. For scheduled flights, the airline may treat any change (including a name change) made after tickets have been issued as a cancellation of the original booking and impose 100% cancellation charges. Accordingly, you may have to pay the full cost of the flight(s) in question as well as the amendment fee of £50 per occasion.

Cancellations

Cancellation shall take effect only when written notification from the first named person on the booking is received by us or your travel agent. In all cases of cancellation, the deposit and any amendment charges will be forfeited.

We offer accommodation only holidays for travellers making their own way to resort, depending on date and destination. Please call our sales team on 0330 311 1503 for further information.

A childshare price is the cost of the child when going over the occupancy of a room. This child would usually be on an extra bed, so we offer a discount from the child price to the child share price.

• In the summer, children 2-11 years (on return date of travel) pay child prices.

•  In the winter, children 2-15 years (on return date of travel) pay child prices.

Prices are based on at least two people sharing a room. If fewer than the standard occupancy share the room, an under occupancy fee will apply. This is because the cost of providing the room is the same regardless of how many people occupy that room - eg if a solo traveller occupies a room with more than one bed. These under occupancy supplements may vary depending on date of travel. 

During some dates, such as Club Mark Warner Weeks, we offer twin or double rooms for solo travellers with a reduced under occupancy fee.

Mornings: 09:00-12:30
Afternoons: 14:30-17:30 In summer we have children's club from 4 months to 17 years, over 2 years is free and 4 months - 2 years is chargeable.

We take babies from 4 calender months and older.

We are happy to assist should your child have any additional needs.

We would ask that you telephone our Reservations team, prior to booking your holiday to discuss arrangements we might need to make to ensure that we are able to help you on your chosen departure date.

Buggies are only for the use of Mark Warner Nannies but you can bring your own. Parents can take them up to the gate and then they are placed in the hold of the aircraft

Due to the high volume of children we have, during busy periods the childcare clubs will be split down into further groups, this will be done according to age.  If you are travelling with another booking and want your children to be in the same groups then a request can be put in with our reservations department prior to travel but this is not guaranteed.
