Holiday ideas

[rich112]

Thinking of doing a last minute break/holiday with the girlfriend for august/September and was looking to see if anyone recommends anywhere nice. Last few years have been skiing in Bulgaria and 2 weeks in Gran Canaria last year. Wanting to go somewhere hot again for that time of year, not spending stupid money but within reason :)

I went here with the missus in may and it is perfect if you like to just have everything in one place nice and relaxing buffet was amazing I have been on all inclusive holidays that cost double this and the buffet here was the best.

Small quiet beach and the rooms aren't bad.

The whole time we was there we couldn't believe how good it was for the money, the best part was the entertainment they had some real good shows on at night with some pretty talented people.

So good we are going back in september, just be warned your missus will probably be begging for a baby when you get back as there seemed to be lots of parents with little kids while we was there.

I'm off to Lanzarote in September... Can't wait for it!! £150 a week in a 4 star apartment through a friends timeshare:y:

Some decent places on them last minute holiday sites and stuff, best thing to do is look around, see whats actually on there cheap.. A few times iv gone places in spain, portugal, and the south of france, which hasnt cost too much, and as long as your not expecting 5 star meals every night, you will be fine with spending money!

Just got back from a week in Turkey with the other half. Stayed in Kusadasi at a 4 star all inclusive hotel with thompson. Was really good but be warned, the drivers over there are completely mental!

I've had a look on lastminute but there are so many places to choose from. Main thing would want from a place us a very close excellent beach that's it, with a good room of course:)

i just did a last minute one with the mrs.

but it worked out cheaper to find cheap flights to somewhere common...

we chose majorca. so get on the budget airline websites and find out what has cheap flights

Then go on trip adviser and look at the resorts you like the look of... We went to Alucdia which has a lovely long beach!

Then found a good 3 star hotel on trip adviser and bang your dates in there and it will search a few companies.

Then we did the transfers with another website much cheaper than they offer as packages (11 quid each for both ways).

ours worked out at 270 quid with a suitcase between us for a week in Alcudia at a 3 star Thompson (well reviewed) hotel. You could get it alot cheaper than that with shitty hotels.

Remember on those lastminute.com type of websites the price they give soon rises once you book and they add a suitcase and taxes etc. Typically between 60-100 more than the price shown.

Budget?

Probably say £500 each at least 6 nights or so.

you're welcome for my quite detailed reply.

Yeah cheers mate, I was considering doing that, I normally prefer to get one package as I'm lazy and shit with organising multiple things.
