I'd like to book my parents a holiday. They do a lot of childcare for us and have been unwell and said they would like a holiday so I'd like to book them one. They are aged mid sixties and just want somewhere to relax.

Spain or Canary Islands ideally but would consider a Greek island but no where else.

All inclusive travelling in June 2019

4 or 5 star decent clean places with pools and beaches but they dont want to spend a fortune!

Really struggling thank you!!

No new advice regarding locations OP, but just wanted to say, be sure to take out travel insurance as soon as you book in case cancellation needed further down the line if DP's health can be dodgy (though this is sound advice for everyone).
Will also need to declare existing medical problems.
Good luck.

Imperial Rhodes Kolumbia is lovely

What about one of the Tui sensatori hotels - there’s one in Greece, one in ibiza - all inclusive and pretty nice

Not quite Spain but the Rock Hotel in Gibraltar is lovely.

Sp sad about that coach in Madeira. It looks like such a lovely place and I know these things can happen anywhere but knowing my parents they wont want to go there now.

No long term health conditions just had flu recently.

If you want all inclusive , it wouldnt really matter where they went as people tend not to wander far from the resort!
Also what temp are they happy with , it can get very hot in Greece in June
Turkey isnt a hot bed of terrorism btw
Madeira isnt in the Canaries either
I would second a cruise , however expect to pay more then £2k for a week in June

because everyone in their mid sixties is on their last legs?
