Any ideas appreciated!

tarajayne

My daughter is 21 in a few days, her boyfriend has rung tonight and asked me to try to find a holiday for the 2 of them somewhere hot for 7 days from the 16th April give or take one day. He would like to fly from Exeter or Bristol if possible and after 2 hours I'm going around in circles. Up to £700 in total but less would be better. Any ideas please as I really want to help but feel it may be a bit limited. Thanks.

I would rule out Majorca if they want somewhere fairly warm as I don't think its very hot this time of the year.Better to try the Canaries,but don't know if there is anything available within budget

Think you will be struggling to find anywhere hot within that budget - Egypt would be a good bet weatherwise but don't think you could get anything decent for that price.

I think there is a worry if you do manage to find something you may be disappointed by the quality.

What about suggesting a short break (either UK or Europe) but something that is a bit more upmarket and special for a special occasion - spa hotel or country house? Somewhere to be pampered?

Yes there is plenty of availability for the Canaries within their budget.

Canaries or the Costa Blanca, both around the same temperature in April.

16th April is the Easter Holidays just past, it may cause prise's to rise?

Thanks for all replies, persuaded him to go from Gatwick as there was more choice so they paid £582 for 4* HB. Tenerife.
