ACCOMMODATION FOR GRANDPARENTS
Reward your parents for those holidays that they brought you on. Free accommodation is valid for half the stay of the main party, up to maximum of 7 nights. Cannot be combined with any other offer Holiday must be completed by 25th June or commence 28th August onwards. Limited availability of offer at each resort.
Do as much… While the kids are having the time of their lives there’s no reason why you shouldn’t make the most of what the resorts have to offer. Take a dip in the pool or enjoy a set or two of tennis. Most of our resorts have great golf courses at close proximity. Why not have a round before lunch? Lunch time doesn’t mean that you always have to cook. Many of our resorts have their own restaurant or snack bar serving the local treats. So, put your feet up and take a well earned break.
…or as little… Maybe doing what you want means doing nothing at all. Well, that’s the best thing about a KelAir Campotel holiday – because, you can. Relax on your sunlounger with a glass of the local wine and read that best seller you’ve always meant to get to. You might even get a tan while you’re at it!
…as you like! It’s all about unwinding and having the time to do the things that you enjoy most.
Liam Keller, Chairman Of The Keller Group
From Setting New Standards to Moving with the Times
1970’s
A Word from Our Chairman Little did I think that when we as a family made our maiden voyage from Cork to Roscoff 32 years ago that we would have finished up providing French Holidays to thousands of Irish people. Brittany Ferries had commenced their weekly sailing to France and we were passengers on their second sailing. Arriving in Roscoff that Sunday morning with the locals staring at our car with it’s IRL sticker. We camped near La Baule that night. Our first exposure to French camping with all the facilities laid on, wash block with hot showers, emplacements where you could hook up to electricity, shop and takeaway – a step up from camping at Lough Gill and Enniscrone. After 3 days, we moved further down the south to Royan where 2 years later, Campotel was to set up its first campsite. After our first week in France I was amazed at the standard of facilities on all sites together with a dozen or more English companies offering fully equipped on-site tents and no sign of Irish competition. Our holiday that year brought us to Lourdes, Biarritz, finishing up in Les Sables D’Olonne in the Vendee. My curiosity occupied my spare time through to the next year; “Why was their no Irish company providing the same service?” June 1980 we set off on our great mission, Olive and the kids with 2 caravans and 10 tents. One week later we were open for business. We made great friends, one family, who has returned every year, some record after 30 years! We never lacked ambition and we moved into 2 new locations the following year. This time with 15 new caravans and 25 tents. The wheel has moved on every year since, we are now on 18 locations including Italy and Spain, new innovations, our Buzzy Bee club was the first on-site kids club, moved from traditional caravans to mobile homes fitted with decks and barbecues. The list goes on to support our slogans from Setting New Standards to Moving with the Times. Times and standards have changed but we are as committed today as we were in 1980 in providing you with a family holiday that will be as memorable as ours. Our company is now supported by members of our own family. Sheena looking after the French operation backed up by a team of 45 in high season and her brother Pearse driving the show back at base camp. While Frances Leahy, who started her career with us 20 years ago now looks after our reservation department. Enjoy it as we did! Yours,

The terms of contract are contained solely in this booking form, the Organiser’s confirmation, the Organiser’s Brochure or other descriptive material, any airline or sailing ticket issued and the itinerary issued by the Organiser. b) The Organiser reserves the right to terminate this contract if the behavior or conduct of a Consumer either prior to or during a holiday is likely to endanger the safety or well being of other Consumers in his company or that of the Consumer himself, the Organiser, or that of the Organiser’s representatives, contractors, agents or employees and the cancellation charges as provided for in Clause 10 of this Booking Form are payable by the Consumer. Further, where, as a result of the Consumer’s actions or the actions of any other person who is listed on this Booking Form either or both of the following incidents occurs: (i) There is a delay or diversion to the means of transportation the subject of this contract; (ii) The accommodation in which the Consumer is staying is damaged; the Consumer, hereby agrees to indemnify the Organiser against any claim (including legal costs) made against the Organiser in relation to the occurrence of such incidents. 2. PERSONS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS It shall be the Consumer’s responsibility to disclose to the Organiser prior to booking any physical or mental condition of a member of his party, which may be relevant and no liability shall attach to the Organiser for the provision of an unsuitable holiday for a person with disabilities where disclosure of the special need has not been made to the Retailer or to the Organiser where the booking has been made directly with the Organiser. The Organiser reserves the right to decline to provide a holiday for a person with special needs where in the Organiser’s opinion that holiday would be inconsistent with the special needs of a person with disabilities. 3. PAYMENT The holiday must be paid for in full at least 8 weeks before the scheduled date of departure. If it is not paid by that date, the Organiser shall have the option to cancel the holiday. If the Organiser exercises that option or the Consumer cancels the holiday (which cancellation must be notified in writing to the Organiser) the cancellation charges detailed below are payable by the Consumer.
Cancellation for Non-Payment. If the holiday is not paid for by the due date, the Organiser shall have the right to cancel the holiday. If the Organiser, at the request of the Consumer or Retailer, agrees to delay cancellation of the holiday, then if the Organiser subsequently cancels for non-payment, the cancellation charges set out in this Clause 10 shall apply and be payable by the Consumer. Because of the ever changing nature of airfare structures and the increasing availability of instant purchase air fares most of the flights which we sell must be paid for in full at the time of booking together with our normal deposit. Such airfares are non refundable and accordingly cancellation of holidays involving instant purchase/ticketed flights will incur loss of airfare together with our standard cancellation charges as detailed in this Clause 10. More than 42 days Deposit 31-42 days 60% 0-30 days 100% 4. SUBSTITUTION a) Where the Consumer is prevented from proceeding with the holiday, he may transfer his booking, having first given the Organiser reasonable notice in writing of his intention to do so before the departure date. The transferee from the Consumer must sign a Booking Form and comply with any other requirements of the Organiser applicable to the holiday. b) A Consumer who transfers a holiday booking shall be jointly and severally liable with the transferee to the Organiser for payment of any balance due in respect of the holiday and for a substitution fee of €30 per person substituted, subject to a maximum of €125 per booking (or such other greater sum as may be authorised). 5. ALTERATION BY CONSUMER A request for alteration must be in writing and must be accompanied by a payment of €30 per booking before ticketing and €60 after ticketing, which payment is not refundable. If the alteration is impractable the original holiday arrangement shall continue to apply. If only some of the Consumers booked request a change, which is found to be practicable, a price adjustment for all Consumers on the same booking may be payable and must be discharged on the date shown in the Organiser’s written confirmation of such change. If the Consumer in complying with the foregoing requirements makes default, the Organiser shall have the rights referred to in clause 3. In accordance with the provisions of Clause 1(a) the Consumer should be aware that some suppliers, such as carriers, impose cancellation fees and apply restrictions which are not in the control of the Organiser and for which the Organiser shall not be held liable. 6. SPECIAL REQUESTS Special requests (e.g. porthole, adjacent cabins, adjacent accommodation), shall be communicated by the Consumer in writing to the Organiser at the time of making the booking. The Organiser shall use reasonable endeavour to fulfill such requests. The Organiser shall only be obliged to provide services in accordance with special requests where it specifically commits itself in writing to do so. No liability shall attach to the Organiser for failure to comply with a special request, which has not been confirmed by it in writing. 7. ALTERATIONS BY THE ORGANISER a) The Organiser reserves the right to alter, change, curtail or cancel a holiday. b) If as a consequence of ‘force majeure’ (as hereinafter defined in
sub-paragraph (f) of this clause), the Organiser is obliged to curtail, alter, extend or cancel a holiday, the Consumer shall not be at liberty to maintain a claim for compensation or otherwise for any loss arising as a consequence of the said curtailment alteration, extension or cancellation of the holiday. c) A minimum number of bookings are required for a programme of holidays. The Organiser’s obligation to provide that programme shall be contingent upon the Organiser receiving and maintaining that minimum number of bookings. In the event that the Organiser does not receive the minimum number of bookings or having received such minimum number has that number reduced by reason of cancellations or transfer by consumers or otherwise, the Organiser shall be entitled to cancel or curtail the relevant programme at any time up to 4 weeks prior to the departure date and the Consumer shall not be entitled to make a claim for loss arising as a consequence of cancellation for curtailment in these circumstances. The Organiser shall notify the Consumer within seven days of any cancellation or curtailment necessitated by the foregoing circumstances. d) If prior to the departure date there is a cancellation, alteration, change or curtailment relating to a holiday, which results in more than 18 hours change in the time of departure, or a change of resort or in the type of accommodation offered, or some other change which fundamentally alters the holiday, the Organiser shall, if practicable, offer an alternative comparable holiday of at least similar standard or shall refund the Consumer all monies paid. Unless within seven days of issue of the offer of an alternative holiday it is accepted by the Consumer in writing, the Organiser shall assume that the Consumer has declined such offer and the Consumer shall only be entitled to return of payments made. e) Where the Organiser makes an alteration in the holiday as contemplated in sub-paragraph (d) of this clause the Consumer shall be entitled to receive compensation in accordance with the scale set out in this paragraph. No compensation shall be payable where the alteration is for the reasons referred to in sub-paragraph (b) or (c) of this clause or where the Consumer accepts the alteration as provided for in clause (d).
