Foreign Holiday sought (anytime between Sat17th-Mon26thFEB)

Hi All
This forum has helped me out in the past ... so thought I'd try my luck again.

I'm looking for a 'hot' destination holiday anytime between Sat17thFeb-Mon26Feb (hopefully 7 days). [Must be at work on Tue27Feb the latest)

3 Adults (as one child is 14), 2 kids (10 & 3).

Somewhere hot so maybe Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Canaries ??
Would like a hotel (perhaps with B%B, HB or Inclusive thrown in).
Total cost to be under £2000.
Travel from any London Airport.
Would like to be near the beech.

Can you do your 'magic' :-)

(If nothing foreign - anyone recommend anything special in UK?)

Thanks in advance.

    Still plenty of options to Cyprus from London with Thomson like i sent you by pm the other day,but remember you get the better prices by selecting 2 rooms(if this is what you want).

  • All - Thanks for your help.

    I tried the Al Diwan 4*, in Sharm El Sheikh, BUT they tell me they cannot get flights for 5 people so its a no go.
    I'll keep trying other options.
    If any one finds anything else do shout.
    Thanks
