Some items cannot be included in the holiday price . In some countries , for example , airport taxes are payable locally on departure or hotels may levy a service charge per room night and in some cases , local authorities impose tourism taxes , which are compulsorily added to hotel bills and payable locally . The charges may be introduced / changed / increased without notice and are beyond our control . Similarly , you are responsible for obtaining and paying for any visas required .

Meals
The meals included in your holiday are indicated on each hotel description . Half board includes breakfast and dinner . Where half board is booked , the first meal included in your holiday will normally be dinner on your arrival day , and the last breakfast on your departure day . Most hotels also have set meal times . If your arrival or departure does not coincide with normal meal times , you may find that some hotels will only provide a light / cold snack or continental breakfast . In case of early morning arrivals and late departures , it is possible to obtain extra meals and these must be paid for locally before your departure . Please note that whilst hotels will do their best to cater for special dietary requests , menu choices may be limited .
