  • I have a holiday related question,

    me and my GF want to go away somewhere in early june/end of may, cheap and quiet are out main desires, my worst nightmare is a huge resort where thers 600 people by the pool all day everday,

    I can deal with a busy hotel pool area but peace over party please.

    We have a budget of 400 each, probably up to 900 in total if we were to go all inclusive, destination not fussed, just somewhere relaxing.. 7 nights..

    I don't really know where to start looking

    Ages ago I went to Marmaris Turkey on a really cheap holiday with my ex. It was pretty much the most hideous resort-type place ever. But on the upside, it was cheap, there was a beach, the surrounding countryside was beautiful, we had our own mini kitchen, and it was cheap.

    It actually ended up being ok (apart from the fact that our relationship was on it's last legs and my ex was a bitch). My point is, if you choose somewhere that has other merits, then you don't need to worry about all the grim people/children around.

    A car is a huge plus in these type of places, so you can just go down the cost by yourself.

    Places I would recommend that are cheap and hot are; Portugal (which I can't recommend enough) and the Canary Islands.

    You should be able to get cheap pacage holidays in the Canary's. I went to Fuerteventura and stayed in some random remote hostel. But if you have a car then you can just drive off to any random deserted section.

    I know all-in can have some appeal and you get good value, but I would recommend looking at planning your own thing. Check Airbnb for places to stay as you can get good deals in nice apartments in locations you wouldn't be able to afford a hotel.

    Also Lagos is far enough along the Algarve not to be too hideous and allows you to go up the cost to surf spots which tend to have a nicer vibe even if you don't surf. (I was genuinely shocked by how lovely the Algarve actually is).
