Waylander Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Rather broke after the Easter Saudi trip but could do with a few days to chill in the sun on a beach with the wife and kids 1st week June (half term) Jersey/Guernsey springs to mind or perhaps the Algarve. Don't want to go to France. Ideas appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) Malta is cheap although without dates if difficult to price, but here's an example. https://www.google.co.uk/flights/#search;f=MAN;t=MLA;d=2016-06-03;r=2016-06-10 If you enter your dates and number of peeps, then click on the map view "Explore Destinations" you can get an overview of flights prices, for example Faro is from 104 pp with RyanAir.

Waylander Posted May 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Cheers. Anytime from 29 May for a week for 2 adults, 1 teen, 2 kids. Good call - completely forgot about Malta ++ will check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-bmw Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Mainland Spain has many delightful little out of the way places where you can get 4 berth apartments for around the £3-400 mark. My first port of call would be Skyscanner to find cheap local flights to you to see if it is viable, then the accommodation site "home away" is a favourite of ours for such things. We are away in June with a penthouse apartment in a new fully equipped (gym/pool/etc) in a small moorish town 2 hours from Alicante for around £1000 for 10 days for car/apartment/flights all-in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Be quick, most places are booking up fast and prices are going up, one of our phone girls also works for a travel agents. No one wants to go to Turkey or any of the other similar destinations any more, hence prices for other places are going up due to demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarMad Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 The Algarve is well worth a look not far on a flight with the kids and great places to go when you get there and not as expensive as many think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted May 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I'm guessing you suggest flying into Faro? Can you recommend some places? I'll also look into Lanzarote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Yeah we fly into faro Monarch, hire a car using economy car hire its an easy peasy walk across the car park to pick the car up and drive to the resort. We have stayed in Lagos and it was fab, plenty to do, Zoomarine in the Algarve is fantastic and you get a second day for buttons. Beaches are great a local zoo to see and aqua parks as well and its not a hotel fested resort either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted May 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 Been going Cross-eyed looking at flights. I did find a decent one to Antalya but kids vetoed it as they didn't feel safe. Thinking about it with a passport with only stamps to Pak, Saudi and UAE I might struggle on return from Turkey! Anyway CarMad - did you stay in a villa or hotel in Lagos? I think Algarve it is....

CarMad Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 We have stayed in a Villa and Apartment, most of the hotels don't have the rooms for the kids not to share which we didn't want. Have a look on Home and Away / Owners Direct for apartments and Villas we have gone that way this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulboy Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Another thumbs up for Lagos (Algarve in general) here. Just beware the beaches are The Atlantic and are a bit 'livelier' and colder than the med. We are going later this year with a view at potentially buying a place in Lagos. We have just come back from Cascais (Lisbon coast) again......but property is pricy there and it's not as warm in winter. You can live and eat cheaply in Portugal too.

Waylander Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Thanks. Battered at work right now but fired off emails to some apartments and villas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you get something with a few bedrooms and offer some good mates rates please...! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
