Afternoon all,

I've got the best part of a month off work from the 22nd, looking to disappear somewhere nice for 7-14 nights depending on cost. Anyone personally recommended any destinations for this time of year that's still got the weather etc etc.

Ideally looking to go 5 star, all inc, I'll be going on my own and from my searching Sharm is coming out as matching the criteria and price at around £500 plus transfers and insurance for 7 nights.

It's just always nice to have a resort or hotel recommended rather than going in blind and buying a lemon of a holiday!!

Cheers

Egypt still an advisory against all but essential travel isn't there?

Ah yes, I thought it was just the one region. But just checked and its the whole country. Ah well, keep searching!! 2013 FL2 - Black Edition Auto

The tourist strips seem to be Ok, would you risk it kicking off though ?

Look on www.teletextholidays.co.uk. There are some bargains

Canary Islands - especially Lanzarote.

Just don't pick last week on October - kids holidays = rip off.

We have just bribed the kids into not going by buying them a new laptop. We are off in November instead.

Have a look on Jet2holidays, just booked Lanzarote for next year, comparing other sites like TravelRepublic it was cheaper

Just poked another one for the in laws using lowcostholidays which came out quite cheap Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Try Cuba, 2 weeks all inclusive 5star cost me £775 each all in. Awesomeness weather, awesomeness beaches loads of rum!

Eyup Landy how you doing fella, car still going well, you must be coining it in with lower fuel bills, good to see you keep popping back

Lanzarotte is great & the climate is normally superb !
Hire car is a must & they are cheap. plenty to visit. recommend Play a Blanc a as a place to stay.
Tipico;s on the seafront in Playa Blanca great place to eat in the evening & fire mountain is a must and make sure you take the coach tour at the top of fire mountain as its included in the cost of the entry ticket Jaguar x-type sport gone

Hire cars, any advice on who to use? Will there be parking at hotel ? Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

We were 6 when we went & looked at having two hire cars but opted for 9 seater VW caravelle and it was fab
and much easier with just one vehicle. We hire a luxury villa with large pool and pool room wi-fi and jacuzzi etc and it was 3600 for 2 weeks.
We just used Avis, took photo of van before and after and no drama.

The Caves is a must and fabulous inside, I will give you a big tip, when you visit the caves and following the guide when you arrive at the auditorium wait in the chairs at the back and leave everyone else to walk forward. when the guid returns be the first to follow him through to the next set of caves ! there is a mind blowing illusion at the end so keep up with the guide but stand back from the edge !
Take a good camera

Oh and I forgot the Go Karting San Bartolome
oops I missed another of our favourites El Lago Verde, El Golfo !
We used to go twice a year for some years as weather was always really good. When we first used to go it was all un made roads and lots of Donkeys and carts 30 years ago but much more built up now with Dual carriage ways & tarmac these days. Jaguar x-type sport gone
