Asking the impossible?

Hi guys, wonder if you can help at all?

I am desperate for a holiday, however, due to work commitments I only have a week at the end of July or a week at the beginning of October to go away (at least I'll be able to look forward to something!) and I just don't know where to consider!

My partner and I would like somewhere hot, pref self-catering (renting apartment cheaper than hotel?), near the beach (although not too important), not too far from an airport (pref with budget flights?), on or close to a golf course(s) and pref flying from Birmingham/Midlands airport.

I'm aware that October is going to be a lot cheaper, but would still like to hunt for the bargain of the century in July too!

We only have a couple of hundred pounds each at very most. If I've left anything out please ask.

Thanks for any help, S_C

What about Barcelona? Just got back from there a few weeks ago and was really good. Flights (www.easyjet.com) and an apartment (www.rent4days.com) for 6 worked out at about £110 each, we stayed near the beach and port and the airport was about 20 mins away in a taxi. Not sure about golf in Barca, but did watch the footie which was fun! You might struggle to get anything cheap in july, might be best to wait for a last minute deal. We found the apartment much cheaper than a hotel. If you book with the people that we used, ask them for a discount, I did and got about 40 euro's off!

Try Fuengirola near Malaga in Spain. Budget flights are cheap (from Nottingham Midlands), train to Fuengirola is only about 2 euros and I know of a hotel which is 45 euros a night (double room). Plus it is usually still hot around that time of year.
