Where is still hot in October half term?

Hoping for a week abroad, all inclusive would be great as we're doing a self catering cottage in the summer. Must be school holidays as I'm a teacher. I'm thinking Turkey as Greece can be windy and Majorca prone to rain. Basically a fly and flop holiday, waterslides a bonus. Kids are pre teens so we'd need to book 2 rooms. Budget 2k max all in. Flying from London airports. Any help appreciated

We've been to Zante and Gran Canaria in October halfterm.
Zante was hit and miss with the weather. When the sun was out and it wasn't cloudy it was hot but everything was closing or closed- very turn the lights off as you leave vibe.
Gran Canaria was warmer and more open.

The biggest issue both times was the pools not having heating apart from the sun so they were very,very,very cold. The sea was lovely to swim in but even my hardy water babe was not willing to get in the pool in Zante.
I think the pool we had in GC got more sun so was just about okay.

Cyprus definitely fits your criteria but probably not your budget…

I went to Turkey in October half term once and it was quite cold.
