    Looking for a holiday for myself and my partner for Jan-Feb next year. We're looking at Cancun, Dubai, Orlando or Bahamas at the moment (eclectic mix I know!) and are very flexible for a good deal. Best we've seen so far is Cancun, can get a 5* hotel with all inclusive and upgraded flight for approx £1000 each. Budget can go to £1500pp, looking for winter sun for 7-10 days any time in Jan or Feb at any of the above destinations or similar. Hotel must be 5* in a central location and ideally all inclusive too.

    Please contact me!

    We aren't really set on this resort, but there are few that tick all our boxes, feel free to quote me on an alternative that meets my requirements!

    -Beachfront
    -Creche available
    -Family rooms or interconnecting rooms
    -Not Turkey or Egypt
    -Kids clubs for our older kids
    -Flying from any Scotland airport but prefer Aberdeen if at all possible

    Also if anyone is able to quote this can you quote me the above holiday with a Family suite (6 beds I think). On the website that shows +84 pounds. :T
