Half Term advice please

Looking for a bit of advice we're looking to get away Feb half term (2 adults and kids 11, 9 and 6) preferably somewhere warmish and as cheap as we can. No idea where to go so thought this was the best place to come :)
We can do any London airport or quite fancy the idea of a cruise so we dont have to fly. Budget is very flexible but would prefer All Inclusive if possible.
Please give me some ideas :T

    which is it, 'cheap' or 'flexible budget'?
    Give at least a ballpark budget figure and someone may help.
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    Warm at that time of year would be the Canaries, Caribbean, Florida. Long haul flights might be too far for a week but that's the best way to get some winter sun.

    Thanks for replys, was hoping to spend a max of £2000 but preferably less. I think long haul is too much for a week particularly with the kids :)

    I would suggest the Canaries then, about a 4 hour flight which is bearable ! Whatever you decide I hope you have a great time.

    Agadir in morocco seems warm this time of year. Prices for all inclusive look reasonable too.
  • Half term and cheap is asking for too much, if you need to travel on the Sat or Sun to be back home for the schools returning then it is pretty much a non starter unless you can increase your budget. The large tour operators prices are starting at the £2500 mark for a weeks AI.

    You could look into booking the flights and accommodation separately, but even then I'd be astounded if you got anything close to your budget.
