Title: Holidays Post by: Poppet7 on April 17, 2007, 03:32:05 PM Can anyone recommend a cheap and cheerful holiday to me? I'm looking for somewhere warm, quite lively, possibly a resort that has water/theme parks and a nearby beach

Title: Re: Holidays Post by: Rod Paradise on April 17, 2007, 03:51:45 PM Bulgaria's pretty good & VERY cheap for drink & food but you'd want 4 star (3star is pretty crap) and I don't know if there's a waterpark.
Title: Re: Holidays Post by: Poppet7 on April 17, 2007, 03:52:57 PM I'm just looking for somewhere different cos I always end up going back to the same places.
Title: Re: Holidays Post by: lazaroonie on April 17, 2007, 03:53:18 PM Turkey is pretty cheap at the moment.
the cheapest deals are on teletext holidays website thru a company called holidaymate. Title: Re: Holidays Post by: matt674 on April 17, 2007, 03:53:43 PM http://www.monkeyholidays.co.uk/
Title: Re: Holidays Post by: Ironside on April 17, 2007, 03:56:12 PM try expedia.co.uk pick your own holiday at your own price
Title: Re: Holidays Post by: Poppet7 on April 17, 2007, 03:58:22 PM When I say cheap I mean between £200-£400 per person, abroad. I am aware I can pick my own holidays from vaious operators/websites but I am looking for recommendations, places that people have been to and have liked...
Title: Re: Holidays Post by: Rod Paradise on April 17, 2007, 04:02:41 PM Sunny Beach in Bulgaria . Cheap good food and drink, nice beach. Take a bus trip to Varna & shopping's very cheap as well.

Marmaris/ischmeler Title: Re: Holidays Post by: Suited_Jock on April 17, 2007, 04:04:10 PM Pefkos or lindos were really cheap on the greek island of rhodes... me and the mrs went for 2kws 3 yrs ago when we were on a tight budget think it was under £200 for us each 14 nts self catering really enjoyed it.

Lindos is great - spend the day on the beach while all the bus tours are in town. Head back from beach via pub, go out to eat/drink really well and cheap when the bus tours are gone & it's a nice wee town again.

Title: Re: Holidays Post by: Rod Paradise on April 17, 2007, 04:10:06 PM bermuda Not cheap unless you're a local - frigging expensive for the tourists. Great though. Title: Re: Holidays Post by: charmaine on April 17, 2007, 04:50:04 PM I'm hoping to go away sometime in August early September with my Daughter , i think Pauls hoping we go to Alaska !! lol , also will be looking for late deals very cheap n cheerful and luckily she isnt bothered about nightlife so somewhere pretty quiet for us .
That was totally not helping you Poppet but looking forward to getting away :) Title: Re: Holidays Post by: booder on April 17, 2007, 05:17:49 PM a cheep holiday in other peoples misery
i don't wanna holiday in the sun i wanna go to the new belsen i wanna see some history 'cause now i got a reasonable economy Title: Re: Holidays Post by: Poppet7 on April 17, 2007, 05:24:13 PM Charmaine, I can recommend you and your daughter going to Tsilivi in Zante, I went there last July and it was perfect, not too lively, not too quiet, the hotel was right on the beach and the weather was gorgeous. I stayed in the Zante Maris Hotel, I'd go back but want to go somewhere different, there isn't much point going to the same place over and over.
Title: Re: Holidays Post by: TightEnd on April 17, 2007, 05:34:37 PM Any chance of a one-way ticket Poppet?
it might be cheaper for you ;nana; Title: Re: Holidays Post by: Poppet7 on April 17, 2007, 06:11:09 PM What? and leave Sunny Luton forever? No way!
Don't worry though, you'll all soon be rid of me! Title: Re: Holidays Post by: charmaine on April 17, 2007, 08:18:16 PM What? and leave Sunny Luton forever? No way! I do hope your jesting young lady !!! Don't worry though, you'll all soon be rid of me! Title: Re: Holidays Post by: Claw75 on April 17, 2007, 09:18:57 PM Don't know if it's still as cheap as it was, but I went to Rovinj in Croatia a few years back on an 'accommodation on arrival' deal with Thompson. Cost about £200 per person for two weeks half board. Very beautiful place and would highly recommend it - only 90 minutes to Venice by ferry as well if you fancy a day trip.
Title: Re: Holidays Post by: Poppet7 on April 17, 2007, 09:22:45 PM Had a think about it, decided not to go on holiday until I go to Florida for my 21st birthday in March 2008, plenty of time to pay off my car and save. Unless I have the luck I've had this week then I could pay with all my blackjack/bingo winnings!

How long are you going for?
Title: Re: Holidays Post by: Claw75 on April 17, 2007, 09:28:32 PM just three nights - but long enough!

Title: Re: Holidays Post by: ChipRich on April 17, 2007, 09:48:32 PM Were all off to Zante this year, dunno what its like there though, anyone been before, whats it like?
Title: Re: Holidays Post by: byronkincaid on April 17, 2007, 10:58:37 PM Anyone know a good place in the Algarve to keep a 3 year old occupied?
Title: Re: Holidays Post by: GlasgowBandit on April 17, 2007, 11:03:40 PM Anyone know a good place in the Algarve to keep a 3 year old occupied? Praia De Rocha mate - the Club Praia De Rocha Aparthotel is top notch. I went in November and loved it excellent beach, plenty of pubs and clubs granted many where closed as it was out of season but definately a place for a family. There is also a casino in the resort. I am going to try and get back there in september. Title: Re: Holidays Post by: Poppet7 on April 17, 2007, 11:18:37 PM Were all off to Zante this year, dunno what its like there though, anyone been before, whats it like? Depends where in Zante you are going, I went to Tsilivi, but if you're going somewhere else ask Sunday8pm, he knows Zante better than I do. It's a great place, I'd def recommend it. Title: Re: Holidays Post by: ChipRich on April 17, 2007, 11:26:41 PM Thanx
Think were off to Laganas, u been there? Title: Re: Holidays Post by: Poppet7 on April 17, 2007, 11:29:52 PM Nope, Sunday8pm used to work there though, I asked him about it earlier and he said it's really good.
