    I should hope its do-able, ours cost £375 a week in a cottage on the east coast in April. Hopefully if the weathers nice we'll be on the beach (doubt we'll be swimming though : )

    Try posting this on the overseas holidays board, there are loads of travel agents on there who will be able to give you some good ideas.

    £500pp should be easily do able for a couple of weeks in the med.

    We went to Fuerteventura in Sept for a week and paid about £800 for half board (thats breakfast and dinner) in a 3* for the 2 of us. The weather was fabulous as you're really far south in the canaries, so in March/April id expect some lovely weather aswell. We stayed in Corralejo and its got lots of nice restaurants and a nice beach etc. I can PM you the name of our hotel if you like?

    Anyway, weather wise for your budget the best is going to be the Canaries i think. I've been to all the islands and they're all nice.

    Look at all these...

    I would also say that North Africa (egypt, tunisia, morocco) will be fairly warm too.

    We did Egypt and Tunisia in the Nov & December and it was warm in the day and cooler (cardigans weather) in the evenings. March/April should be warmer, but not so hot that its unbearable.

    Another vote for Tunisia - temps can vary in March but April should be getting nice and toastie.
