ideas for cheap honeymoon places going 28/29th May?

Half termers tend not to go long-haul so I doubly recommend my Malaysia suggestion!

Sam, that wasnt a reference to your suggestion, just a general comment.
I think you are right, the European destinations will obviously be more busy.

Hi

We got married 27th May last year ! Congratulations :cheers:

We stayed at the Gran Hotel Costs Melonaras for a week half board for £450 each which was an absolute bargain!! The hotel was amazing and we love Gran Canaria.

We booked through Hays Travel but this march's hol we booked through https://www.otbeach.com

I'll have a look for you now while I have nothing to do !!

This looks good:

Fly from East Mids, 29th May at 3.35pm
Return 12th June land at 1.45am (ouch)

2 weeks bed and brek at 4* Cynthiana Beach Hotel,Paphos, Cyprus, Superior Twin with Sea view

£1247.22 for 2 people, no inc insurance or transfers (we use Holidaytaxis.com)

Good for Cyprus, i thought that was an expensive place.

Use holidaysuncovered, TripAdvisor and Holiday Watchdog for hotel reviews

Also on OT Beach

2 weeks GRAN HOTEL COSTA MELONERAS, Gran Canaria

From Birmingham 28th May at 6.15pm, return flight lands 04.05am, ouch (again)

B&B , twin room for £1,288.83

This hotel was amazing, with an infinity pool. We have photos of this hotel as it was where we honeymoo'd!!

We can advise on the best restaurants etc as we have been the 'naria for 4 times so far

I think both those prices are good for 2 weeks, as the accommodation is high quality. The Gran is 5*.

New York? Had a quick gander and from Birmingham it looks about £550 each with hotel for 2 weeks via Expedia. I'm sure playing with dates, hotels and booking direct might shave some more off the price.

Hi - we had two full weeks half board in Tunisia (Sousse) two years ago for £400 each if thats any good? We used First Choice holidays through their website.

We also took £500 each spends and came home with £150 each still in travellers cheques!!

Have done a small search for you on FC website - link here

Although they only fly on a Sunday so these are from 3 June for 2 weeks

Of all the Greek islands I think Santorini is one of the best - I'd have a search to see if anything is available for there. I believe flights leave on a Tuesday.

Another idea I have is Turkey, there are some very lovely places - have a look at Dalyan, it's one place I've returned to a few times. It's also very much cheaper than Spain/Greece.

Usually there are lots of bargains to be had in May - I've found that the best prices are found when booked about 3 weeks before departure.
Are you a gambler?

Another thing, do you collect Tesco clubcard points? Exchanged for Deals they are worth 4 x value, and both XL and Cosmos have european holidays/flights available.
