Recommended places to go end of Jan / begin of Feb

AMO

Hi all,

My wife and I are looking to go abroad somewhere in Jan / Feb for a weeks holiday to a place where we can walk along the beach and and chill out in some warm weather.

Given the current exchange rate of the £ and the fact that we don't know the best places to go as we've always gone on long haul flights/holidays in the past, can someone recommend any places and also expected costs and whether to recommend half board or all inclusive etc.

Thanx

AMO

Canaries?
All inclusive is ok if you don't mind drinking the local hooch.

My collegue went to Goa this year, end of Jan. She really enjoyed herself and got a good deal.

Is this a rowdy place?

My wife and I don't want places that are full of nightclubs and night life.

What's the highlights of Goa? It's in India right - is it not a bit far for a short trip? I take it that money spends well there?

The last week in Jan is likley to be cheaper, the Cape Verde islands look interesting.

I have been the the canaries,but i went to a hotel based holiday on a very quiet island-La gomera- ACTUALLY THAT HOTEL IS THE ONLY REASON TO GO THERE UNLESS YOU ARE A WALKER)can't vouch for the rest of the canaries though.oops caps. Oh,and canary island beaches aren't great,but you get the heat,and a shortish flight.

What about Madeira?

Goa is good value and yes it is in India - I know people who have been for a week and said that it was worth it for that long - I would also consider Barbados as it is so relaxing there - went for a week at end Jan this year and really enjoyed it - they use US dollars there and I know the exchange rate is not great but it is reasonably priced there if you stay away from the fancy hotels

I can't find this offer on the website. Can you help?

Thanks.
