What is the best website to look fora 7 day late booking for a half board hotel for a holiday (flight and Hotels ) to Costa Del Sol (preferably Fuengerola) departing either 21st/22nd/23rd September.
Any suggestions please. Is it best to wait a couple of weeks to get the best deals. Any advise please.

If flying Ryanair, then 6 to 8 weeks before is normally a good time.
You could package it up with a hotel via https://www.sunshine.co.uk
Remember to click through Topcashback or Quidco for some cashback0 -
You might try Teletext Holidays or Broadway Travel both sometimes off good late deals. The availability is often more to do with the flights rather than the accommodation. Maybe there are some different last minute booking sites that are better for a bargain price.0

Are there any other good late booking sites that could be suggested. Say a month before departure0

You could try travel republic to build your own, sky scanner for flights to Malaga, alpha rooms for hotels? I've booked with all previously and had no problems.
Oh you might want to look at Holiday Pirates, but please triple check the T&Cs and who you are booking through!0 -
Hi, I have a few suggestions for you, from my experience I think it depends on how fussy you are as to when you book. Like previously mentioned, it is normally the flight that's the awkward bit but as you are going in September it could still be busy and therefore hotels full, so if you want a certain hotel I would book sooner rather than later.
Some site suggestions:
Sunshine.co.uk
Lowcostholidays.com
Travelrepublic.co.uk
Hotels4u.com
Holidaynights.co.uk
Fly.com
These are the sites I usually check first. Just a couple of cautions though, Skyscanner is really good but lately I have noticed that the information on the site is quite often not up to date. I prefer to use Fly.com and Ryanair to compare flights and Wednesday is meant to be one of the cheapest days the flights are on sale.
As for hotels, if your happy to book separately, Holidaynights sometimes have great deals and are often much cheaper than others but watch out for Onthebeach, they have good deals and we have been with them also a few times, however, on 3 occasions I have booked with them and then the next day they phone to tell me they couldn't book the hotel or flights because they had gone up in price and we had to pay more which I declined each time and went elsewhere.
I hope you find this of help, give me a shout if you need anymore help and don't forget to use those cash back sites.
