pottedplant Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Obviously as im asking about October, i want advice on october. Not august. It is possible to get a mixture in october you know. Thanks for the canaries advice. Can you please define what "mixture" in this context is for me please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pottedplant Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 £300 is not cheap especially in October. Guess it is all relative around expectations as to what you may get for £300. A weeks SC in a 3* somewhere ok may be on offer - but doubt a decent 4 * HB somewhere nice would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbiegirl80 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 We've just booked an AI holiday to Fuerteventura in the Canaries for early October. Apparently, it will still be quite warm there at that time of year and will also still be reasonably busy, as it's generally a year-round destination. Can't remember exactly how much we paid but it was pretty cheap for a family of four. I trawled the usual cheapy webistes and got some pretty competitive quotes, but ended up going to a reputable travel agent as they could give us loads more info on where we are staying, what other customers said, etc. I'd suggest you do the same. Thomson will beat any genuine quote and offer low deposit, as well as the security of being 'looked after'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansheff Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Rhodes is still very warm in October, probably most lively place on the island would be Rhodes Town at that time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callippo Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 You could try the Caribbean if you can afford it. . isn't October just about the cheapest month for holidays there. Something to do with it being the likeliest hurricane month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lab-rat Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Rhodes is still very warm in October, probably most lively place on the island would be Rhodes Town at that time of year. Rhodes, Kos & Crete all warm n sunny in October. Picking the resort around how lively you want it is key! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah-Lacie Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 £300 is not cheap especially in October. I'd say it is, for all inclusive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I payed 2,500 for a week all inclusive four star hotel in costa dorada can rills near salon last year. We booked for a disabled adapted room they confirmed twice with us it was sorted. And when we got there, there was not room to walk round bed. Let alone use a wheelchair . The room had a switch hanging off the wall with wires hanging out. The air con didn't work and the toilet was cracked . Oh and when we got off plane they had booked us on normal transport. We ended up with loads of problems, it was that bad I involved a solicitor. Cos all they offered me in compo was £75 . I had a got case and got payed out a lot more though. And the hotel gave us another room while we was still there. We got the too suit with views all round of the sea. I would never use Thomas cook again . I am going to porta pollensa in October. I just booked with jet 2 holidays, so fingers crossed this holiday goes fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anywebsite Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 isn't October just about the cheapest month for holidays there. Something to do with it being the likeliest hurricane month? Yeah, so there might be some deals on. It'll still be hot, even if it does get a bit breezy sometimes. Could always go to Cuba if you're scared of hurricanes, they're usually pretty good at dealing with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
