    Dates are flexible, end June / beginning -mid July. I was looking at Balerics due to length of flight. I dont mind where we go as long as flight no more than 2.5hrs. 2 rooms with 1 x 2 bed apt if possible but not essential. Central location / near to beach or at least easy access to these. 15 min (or so) flattish walk is fine. Would be preferrable to have hotel creche but not essential. Play room / play ground big bonus too.

    If anyone could help, I'd be really grateful.

    Thanks

    Kate

    Edit: day flights if possible please. Arriving in resort before 6pm & leaving resort morning / mid afternoon.

    I know this is fairly cheap already but just seeing what else we could get. Happy to go to Balearics or Canaries for 7-10 nights and can travel from London airports, Birmingham, Bristol, East Midlands. Would consider S/C (or H/B if we can get this cheap). Did see the Arcos Playa apts in Majorca for £420 but didn’t look very nice.

    This is possibly an odd one - I have either 50% off return eurostar trains only from london to paris brussells or lille, OR £100 off either trains or hotels anywhere (on their site).
    I'm trying to find the cheapest deal possible using one of these (given as an apology for a previous chicken-up) ideally during the week begining 27th June.
    Totally flexible on when/where/how long - two adults only.

    Can anyone help?
