    Hello,

    My fiance and I are considering booking somewhere to go away this year. We don't have a huge budget so our options are limited.

    We can fly from Cardiff and various locations in England: Bristol, Birmingham, London etc.

    We are willing to look at most places, a few ideas have been Majorca, Portugal, Tenerife, Turkey etc.

    We would really love to go all inclusive because I think this is the best option for us and we like the availability of the food and drinks at the hotel, with the option of going out if we wished to. Somewhere with a nice pool and nice beaches and maybe a waterpark/marinepark available to visit also.

    We are ideally looking at no more than £300 each, and we understand this is a low budget but it seems to be possible. We just don't know where to start with looking etc.

    We are looking to go for 10 nights ideally, but 7 or 14 nights if the price is right. The dates we are looking at are beginning of July. It can be anytime after 28th June and we need to be back in the UK for 17th July as I have my graduation on 18th. Otherwise, we can travel anytime during August.

    Does anybody have any suggestions for us? Thanks very much.

    Dates: 26/05/14-02/06/14

    Hope someone can beat it, as it was approx £200 cheaper a week ago, so disappointed I didn't book it when I saw it.

    Good news the price has gone back to what it was last week, so it is now £588 p.p. I will book this weekend if no-one can beat it.
