Christmas get away

Hi guys
We haven't been able to get a holiday in this year yet but can go sometime over christmas. we want somewhere hot but also with something to do-rather than just a total beach holiday (not that we don't want to relax on the beach too ;))

Any ideas on where to go and tips for getting a good deal at that time of year?

Thanks
Fay

    What is your budget?

    Where can you fly from?

    How many adults?

    How many children and how old will they be the day after you return from holiday?

    Do you want bed and breakfast or self catering?

    How long do you want to go for?

    Where don't you want to go to?

    Ooops, sorry, didn't give much info did I?

    Ok: our budget, up to 1800 each (but would ideally like to keep it a bit lower).
    Can fly from any midland and could also do london airports.
    2 adults, no children.
    Ideally we would like all inclusive, unless it's a country where food is cheap and good!
    We want 14 nights.
    Don't want to go: Jamaica, Dominican Republic (other caribbean is fine), anywhere that isn't particularly hot e.g. canary islands etc.

    Thank you.
