Cheers Sloppychops. Could increase to £375 if that would help? Do you know how long the transfer from the airport is? I'll check out the options you've listed.0 -

Im sure the transfer is only about 30-40 mins."Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."0 -
Hi Travelman/et al.
As some of you will know, I'm a DIY-er, but I remain intrigued to see what the true professionals can manage - so here goes... one thing.. no cruises! [:)]
1-All airports you can fly from
East Mids/Birmingham/Coventry/Luton/Stansted/Manchester/Heathrow )pref. not Gatwick unless it's a blindingly good deal)
2-Duration
14 days
3-1st & last dates to leave the UK
Can go as early as Weds 12th July or as late as Sun 16th July.
4-Are night flights acceptable ? (Big point as night flights usually cheaper!)
Acceptable, but not preferred - again, will consider if a really good deal comes up.
5-Party size & kids ages
2 adults, 2 children aged 12 and 8
6-Board basis you require (ie self-catering, all-inclusive, h/b, bb...etc)
Anything. The nearer the top end of the budget you go, the more I'll need food included though! Prefer a self-catered villa, but would consider anything, including all-inclusive if available, but I doubt it in our budget.
7-Type of resort, ie quiet, lively
Quiet with a few lively bits nearby - ie a water park or something
8-Any resorts/countries you WOULD NOT go to
Don't think so. Not sure if places like Benidorm and Magaluf are the nightmares they used to be! Don't want to be in a "kiss me quick/fish & chips style 'Brit' resort" though!
9-Any other neccesary factors, ie must have kids club, pool, be within 'x' metres from sea...etc
Can't think of many. Must be clean and don't want to be based over a hotel disco. Would be nice to be witrhin wlaking distance of beach/facilities if poss. Would like to be close-ish to public transport or have access to cheap car hire if not!
10-Prices required by what day/time?
Whenever - ready to book when right deal arrives.
11-Max. budget FOR THE WHOLE PARTY!!! Now I know there is a preconceived idea that if you say maximum £1000 we'll quote £999-99-NOT the case! It just saves us all time, for example if you were looking at peak Season or Whitsun for £125 pp it's a non-starter. Just 'as cheap as posssible' is not a help I'm afraid.
£1500 - £2000 is all I have.
Cheers,
