October half term sun?

[Pippedydeadeye]

I might be able to afford a holiday for October half term. But I’m going mad looking at options. The budget is about £2.5k and ideally like All Inclusive but I also want to be sure there’s stuff to do in case the weather is awful.

Can you help me?

Canary Islands?

[Luce]

Yeah, if you want any proper sun I'd say Tenerife or similar, although Lanzarote might be cheaper/could get a nicer resort etc.

Cyprus?

[Pippedydeadeye]

Thank you! So next then, any specific recommendations? I’m just boggled by it all.

[Luna]

What are your dates and what do you specifically want apart from all inclusive? Flying from East Midlands? Does £2.5 exclude spending money?

[Luna]

Man, the prices leap in that week 23rd- 28th October...

[Pippedydeadeye]

We’re the week before; 14-21. I’d rather go AI so there’s no need for spending money.

I’m sorry, this is me trying to get others to do my homework. Don’t worry.

We've stayed a few times at the Roca Nivaria in Playa Paraiso just outside of Adeje, in Tenerife which is super nice and ticks the AI boxes, and does have a la carte restaurants (unlimited booking), great cocktails, lots of things to do but also lots of lovely little restaurants close by too which are nice for tapas, pizza etc. I don't know if that's within budget though as I am too lazy to check for you sorry but thought a personal recommendation might help? There's a Hard Rock Hotel next door which is lovely too.

This looks nice in Sharm. Slightly over budget

Or Paphos just under budget

Ooh, thanks Luna!

Apparently we have to hold on until C gets back from China TK decide.

I'm so jealous! We booked a long weekend in Whitstable for the last weekend of half term.

Lanzarote, definitely. Its lovely in October and not full of shitheads.

We went to Crete over the October halfterm and that was lovely. We were AI and there was quite a lot of stuff to do, although we were lucky with the weather. Canary islands are probably a safer bet weather-wise though...especially considering the crazy weather Greece has bern having lately.

I’m going against the majority here I know, but we went to lanzarote about 4 yrs ago and we’re really unlucky with re weather, it was quite cold. The pool wasn’t heated (mr went in with S and felt so bad cold wise when he got out he was actually sick, so defo go heated pool) it was really windy when we were there and we ended up putting beach towels on top of the bed in the room.

I would go Cyprus \greece if you wanted guaranteed warmth.
