I've decided against the idea of going away at xmas, but have been looking at holidays all day on the net for 2008... I fancy Tenerife, but I hate to just book somewhere unless someone has been and recommended it .... so guys anyone been to Tenerife and if so where? and what was the Hotel/resort like?

Thanks

Hi Claudia, i wouldn't go to Tenerife as a family, is a bit on the dirty side, great for a girlie holiday though. I go to Alcudia in Majorca every year, going in 5 weeks again ............ its great for families and quite cheap to get to .................... x

Thanks anne-marie will have a wee look at Alcudia

Come on guys help me out here please. Where have you been on holiday thats had a great hotel (clean), its near the beach, good food etc.. Please leave the place and name of the hotel so I can check some places out ... Thanks

Oh and who do you use online to search for holidays (theres just so many)

you have a PM claudia, the hotel i am going to in Alcudia in 4 weeks is directy on the beach, in a quieter area of alcudia, but the hotel and staff are great and only a bus ride away from the Port which is great ........... x

If it's a family holiday your looking for Cheeky..Ibiza is a beautiful place, I stay in San Miguel which is a little resort about 40 mins drive from San Antonio..it is stunning and everybody is so friendly..the apartments and hotels are all recommendable.. I'm off to Roda in Greece in 3 weeks..can't wait, again a beautiful place..

I always look online first..one of the best and cheapest I have found is
www.thefirstresort.com

Hope you find what your looking for

Great. Thanks for your help Susie x

I'm just bumping this thread ... 55 views and 7 replies ....... has no one else had a great holiday they want to share

Uhm.. Nope, not really?

Well here's my lil contribution to the topic, but I don't have any hotel names...

I've been to Turkey a few years ago and found it to be lovely. Everyone's very friendly, even too friendly (they keep on inviting you to go into all sorts of markets and are quite insistent)... It really depends on what culture you wanna meet there too, but I found it to be a nice spot to chill at... Been to Antalya. There are lots of cheap resorts, search up.

Got two friends, one has been to Egypt this summer and paid bout 250 Pounds for a 10 day stay at a wonderful resort with lots of pools and all you can eat (breakfast I think) included in the price and she had a lovely time there. Another friend of mine went to Malta for about a week and paid 250 pounds too and she loved it there...

As for me, I've also been on the Cote D'or a few years ago, but I wouldn't recommend that, only good thing about it was the sands...

It really depends on what you want for yer holiday, including prices and culture... As for me, yet again, I'm not a beach person so I don't know much about exotic things. I'd rather go for a trip in a fancy city. Don't think this helped, but since you were insisting too many people are readin and not posting, I felt guilty.

Thanks Bliss and Costa cork Hadnt even considered Italy, but will have a look now you've mentioned it .

Looks like its going to be Lanzarote, and think we're going to go with the villa option as opposed to resort. Its Costa teguise and only 5 mins walking distance from beaches shop resturants etc.

Any one else been here or chose the villa option instead of resort and how did you find it ???

Hi - I've been to Lanzarote 3 times, and stayed in Costa Teguise once. Having also been to Tenerife, I think you've made a good choice! Lanzarote is much cleaner, more family-orientated and generally felt much safer. It's not a wild destination (although it's a few years since I've been so it may have changed!) but definitely a good choice for a relaxing holiday. It's also small enough that you can explore it quite easily with a hire car, and you can hop on to some of the other Canary Islands quite easily. Fuerteventura is nice for a day trip and a pleasant boat ride, but the one I really liked is La Graciosa as it's almost uninhabited, there are practically no vehicles and just miles and miles of sand. You can also do windsurfing at Teguise, regular surfing further North, and scuba diving in Puerta del Carmen. There's tons to keep you busy if you're looking for more than a week (or two) on the beach. I'm not much of a sunbather but as far as I recall the beach at Teguise isn't huge. However if you've got your own villa (and pool?) that might not be an issue! Hope you have a fantastic time!

thanks very much for your post riojalibre, i hope i've made the right desision, just got to get the flights booked to coinside.. I will let you know how it goes if we get it all booked - if i knew how to post the link i would , but its villa isis - not very good at posting links - but i'll try
