Help needed-week in sun leaving this weekend?

hubblebubble

Can anyone help? My sil and bil are looking for a last minute break starting this weekend 3/4 Feb for one week in the sun. They would ideally fly from Stansted or Gatwick, and would prefer to keep flying time down below 3.5hrs.

They want anywhere warm, nice resort, good hotel etc. other than that, they are open to suggestions.

The hol is a replacement for a skiing hol which they have had to cancel last minute.

Anyone got any brght ideas, or seen any likely contenders?


Thanks

Just came back from Tunisia last weekend. Recommended by someone on here. We too thought it was a fantastic relaxing break.

We got a last minute deal with Thomson. £560 for 2 adults, All Inclusive at the Rui Park El Kebir in Hammamet. 2hrs 40 mins hours flying from Gatwick (early departure though!)

The hotel is a cheap taxi ride from the main town and is fairly quiet and very relaxing. The staff and service were excellent.

Weather was very good for this time of year early to mid twenties centigrade, so pleasantly warm.

Looking on their site now, the price seems to be nearer £850 though, so it depends on the budget. There are some cheaper deals to Crete for about £600, but I've not been there, so can't comment.
