    2-Duration - 7 nights
    3-1st & last dates to leave the UK - 15-30 Jun 05
    4-Are night flights acceptable ? - no thanks
    5-Party size & kids ages - 4 adults + 1 infant
    6-Board basis - self catering
    7-Type of resort, ie quiet, lively - fairly quiet, ideally fairly close to beach or scenery. Thinking of Algarve or Majorca
    8-Any resorts/countries you WOULD NOT go to - Greece
    9-Any other neccesary factors, ie must have kids - good for kids, must be luxury S/C villa 4 star or + !, ideally close to shops/restaurants
    10-Prices required by what day/time? - 12 Jan am
    11-Max. budget - around £2k

    Thanks in advance!

    17th-27th Liverpool To Barcelona £169.94 for all 4 with easyjet
    https://www.wintersunshineholidays.com
    then for 10 nights take oyur pick everythign on there from 2* for about 300 (total) HB or upto 500 (total) for 4* its just a case of choosing the one you like the look of.

    This one gets good reviews

    Salou Park 4 STARS in Salou

    This hotel was built in 1963 completely renovated in 1997 and comprises a total of 218 rooms spread over 9 floors. Various facilities are available to guests including a vast pool

    Half Board (Special Offer) £507.00
    Then add either transfer or carhire

    there are much cheaper ones too

    San Diego 3 STARS in Salou

    Built in 1973 the hotel was completely renovated in 2003. It boasts a total of 262 double rooms spread over 5 floors. Guests are offered a pleasant lobby with lifts a currency exchange

    Half Board £416.00
    For a 3* the reviews are ok,mostly but you always get the odd one thats not happy
    Its says its just round the corner from a small safe cove

    All prices reduced down if you only want 7 nights

    **Just noticed flight is cheapest between 18th -27th 9 nights** PRICE ABOVE

    Homealone...I cant find anything cheaper than the Crete one even S/C is working more expensive with most of them for Crete...sorry...
    You said you found one for 600+ each where was that too and we can see if that would be cheaper doing DIY.
    I dont even think the Crete one is suitable, It looks lovely though but you se for yourself

    if your budget can go to 3k see if you like this place in spain http://www.riu.com/uk/andalusia/chiclana/clubhotel_riu_chiclana.html
    I think with ryanair flights to Jerez it might just come in on budget but see if you like it first
    or this one in Crete

    Transfers still needed
    You also might want to pay for room for an extra night as the flights back home are during the night(the next day) and if you are like me i like to keep the room on instead of being kicked out at a certain time(usually10-12 am).
