                    Hello Guys,
I want to go away for 5 nights from roughly 18th-22nd July (this is flexible) with a budget of £200 per person (so in total we don't want to spend any more then £400 for flights+hotel+transfers)
I don't care where we go - but if possible it needs to meet the following criteria-:
- Somewhere in mainland europe and hot (e.g - Spain/Greece/Cyprus/Turky)
- A direct flight
- A decent enough hotel with a pool
- A place thats not too "old" and close to nightlife:D
All the above is fexible, and any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

            www.ryanair.com Stansted to Barcelona Girona 18th and return 23 July £115.50 (bags extra). Alpharooms.com b and b Lloret de mar £174.16 starting rate. Transfers with www.transfers.net £35.50. Total £325.16.
As you said dates are flexible -Flights cheaper again on 14th to 19th only work out £64.99 and then if you look on Alpha rooms, full board start from £211.51 for 2 (many beach areas). Check out transfers on www.transfers.net (most £35.50). So £312 for flights, transfers and half board.
14th to 19th July Santa susana resort hotel (alpha rooms) works out £328.55 for all inclusive , return flights stansted to Gerona £64.99, transfers £35.50, so works out £429.04 for all inclusive. Know it is £29.04 over budget but you would probably spend more than that on the extra food and drink.0 - 
            Ryanair to Valladolid 18th-23rd July (I know nothing about this destination/transfers etc) £77.50 plus bags and card fees (except Electron). Flying from Stansted.
4* Hotel through Hotels.com £250.95 (and 10% Quidco)

£328.45 plus transfers and Ryanair extras, I'm no expert at this - so I'm sure it can be improved!0 -
