Hi everyone,
Myself and the boyfriend are looking to go somewhere sunny for a week, departing either the night of the 25th up til the morning of the 27th. I am in a bit of a panic because I think I have left it too late to book something!
Can anyone recommend somewhere suitable for a couple, we are 22 and 21 and don't want anywhere too quiet or anywhere full of kids!

Thanks!

BPE

Have you considered Cameroon?

Just google "cheap sun holiday" (if the sun is what you're after) and lots of websites come up. If you want to make sure where you go is suitable for your age group just google the apartment names and some holiday reviews websites will probably come up. Not sure how much you can trust them though, I'd say a few places would plant good reviews for themselves.

Check with Budget Travel, Panorama, Go Hop etc, we always get faxes in work from them offering last minute deals. Looking at the faxes we've got over the last few days you can expect to pay €400-€500 each for a week self catering.

I went with Budget Travel in the end, we are going to Santa Ponsa on the 27th. I am sooooooo excited, my first holiday abroad in years!

Hi OP

They are doing great deals on Crete right now, €279 per week I believe half board and €329 for two weeks. Offers up until Oct. Weather is beautiful and compared to Ireland it is very cheap and waiting for you.

Last minute is ideal price wise if you just want a sun holiday. I went to Fuerteventura for a week for 239 euro pp, flights and hotel, booked it on a Thursday, left on the Sunday. This was with Budget Travel in Dublin.
