Ideas please

[Mcoco]

I want to take my daughter abroad for a week in July. She has just finished her GCSEs we are looking to relax in a hotel anywhere hot. I want to go on a package holiday. Can anyone recommend a good hotel please. Somewhere close to a town, but our main objective is just to relax in a decent hotel.

Thankyou everyone.

What sort of budget?

I would say no more than £3000 for both of us.

The St George beach resort in Cyprus- assuming she is 16 and not a summer baby. It's over 16s only, safe, chilled and awesome all inclusive!

Yes she is 16. Sounds lovely I am going to look at that resort. Thank you. 😊

The Zafiro chain in Majorca/Menorca

i found the TUI magic life brand good (they have multiple sites) I also swear by cruises for mother daughter trips, I took my dd when she finished her a levels and it was super relaxing, going for a wander around whatever town we arrived in overnight (we didn’t do organised trips) after breakfast then back onto the ship for a late lunch and relaxing by the pool until getting ready for a lovely dinner and live music each evening. We used marella (a TUI brand) which is all inclusive, the western med cruises include flights from uk regional airports

Try Iberostar Selection Anthelia on Canary Islands

Thank you I will look into that one too.

That sounds amazing thank you so many great ideas

We did post A level/ GCSE cruise holidays.
Marella might have something in your budget

@Mcoco please beware Cyprus right now. Apparently you can see the rockets being launched in Israel which is only 300km away! lots of threads on here today about it

Oh really. Thanks for the heads up I will save that trip for another year. TUI have some good package holidays I might try Portugal actually. Has anyone been to anywhere relaxing in Portugal at all?

A cruise is also appealing actually I will look at that thanks.

Are you looking at all inclusive? If so Gran Oasis in Tenerife & Barut B Suites in Turkey are really good. Very specious apartments

Otherwise Monte Dourado apartments in Algarve are great, self catering & near lots of restaurants & the beach

Following for ideas .

Yes I am looking at all inclusive. I was actually looking at holidays in Portugal last night as I have never been! Thank you I will look at appartments.

Can I ask you if you found it easy to book sun loungers on the beach. Also was it easy to find somewhere to eat in the evenings. I am used to being in a hotel but an appartment does appeal as it gives some flexibility.
Thank you.

We never used the sunloungers on the beach but there were plenty around the 5 pools! And yes, you're spoilt for choice for restaurants. The Chinese on the hill is really good & in general drinks are pretty cheap

Thank you sounds amazing. I will look into it.
