October sun. Please help I’m overwhelmed!!

[lavendernight]

I think I’ve honestly spent a week looking into different places, deciding, then reading more and changing my mind again!

Flying out between 29th September-2nd October, 7 or 10 days depending on price. Looking to spend no more than £2300 for two adults.

NEED

• HOT. Not warm, hot and sunny.
• A nice big beach
• Warm pools!! This is a big issue, I always have to holiday in October and I’ve been scorned by freezing cold pools most years.
• All inclusive but good food, and a few a la cartes
• Close to a walkable town, or atleast activities close by

I looked at Morocco, scared it won’t be warm enough and pools will be cold

Egypt I did last year and got pestered and eaten alive by mosquitoes

Punta Cana is beyond tempting found some really good deals, I went in October a long time ago and it was gorgeous with one or two showers but I’m scared to go off that and have it rain constantly this time!

Canaries I’ve done Lanzarote too many times, I didn’t like Fuerteventura. Haven’t been to Tenerife or Gran Canaria but Lanzarote pools were always cold in Oct

I feel like there just are no good options and I’ve got to the point I’ve shut down 😂

I went to Halkidiki last year! Stayed in a gorgeous boutique hotel. The sand was almost white and the sea turquoise...one of my fave holidays. It was so lovely. I took a local bus into the city. There is so much to do and see! Also went to Morocco and Turkey last year. Love them both. I think all of these places will still be pleasantly warm. Be mindful that in October it's out of season so some excursions may not be available. Enjoy! 😊

We did cape verde in October with teens a couple of years ago and had a great time. Not a lot to do but we did do a few trips, snorkelled and chilled out by the pool
Stayed at Melia Tortuga which is smaller than a lot of the hotels there and the food was good. Nowhere to walk to really but a taxi to the nearest town was cheap

gran Canaria was still hot at the end of October- we managed half board for 3 for £2300 but that was a couple of years ago.

Cape Verde, we go in November and still really hot. Probably more than £2300 though, you may just about get for £2500.

Average is 20-26. Warm but not hot

Puerto Rico/ Mogan in Gran Canaria. Lots of pools are heated. We’ve been in feb, April, July, August and October and it’s been consistently hot.

@indoorplantqueen sorry to hijack this thread but would you mind recommending your favourite hotel in the area . Also if you had a day out anywhere what was good ( and how you get there). We can't decide if to do the Tui excursions or just wing it. Thanks

(Sorry Op !)

I just booked gran Canaria just for the exact same reasons as you. I went to Costa adje last year I didn't like it wasn't my vibe. also found it expensive. weather was fab only one cloudy morning rest 25 degrees plus. don't do all inclusive only bed and breakfast. counting down the days now

Olympic Lagoon Resort Ayia Napa Cyprus

Could have written this myself! Pressure on for good weather as the person booking it. I’m going round and round in circles still!
