    Go to a Travel Agent, get some brochures to look through and see what takes your fancy that falls within your budget ;)

    If you are looking for warm sea and snorkelling in April you will need to go to the Caribbean, Red Sea or Maldives amongst others, so how much do you want to spend on the holiday?

    For that budget and in the holidays you should be able to get an all inclusive holiday in Sharm el Sheikh. You could look on www.travelrepublic.co.uk to get flights and hotels or look online or in the brochure for www.firstchoice.co.uk

    The Caribbean is gorgeous that time of year, and the snorkelling is top notch biggrin.gif
  • I'd really recommend Egypt in April, but ....

    Don't limit yourself to Sharm el Sheikh.
    Hurghada, Makadi Bay and El Gouna are all lovely at that time of year - you can also visit Luxor easily from them for the culture!
  • Southern spain will be nice and warm and a relatively short trip. Malaga/Marbella/Banus should have plentiful excellent accomodation well within your budget. The beaches are great, the Spaniards are cool and the food is fab.
    My eyes! The goggles do nothing!
  • In India Goa is best place for warm beach, So many people going there, you just try it
  • Spain is nice in April. It's not too hot but often warm enough to enjoy the beach, although the sea will be very cold.

    Also, very competitive holiday rentals industry at the moment so you can pick up some bargain apartments to rent.

    Have a look around Puerto de la Duquesa in Costa del Sol. Nice area (we live there) and some excellent bargains around.
