    Hi

    My Mother and her Sister are looking for a holiday end of June.

    Something reasonably priced and nice, where they can relax, chill etc.

    They don't really drink and it would be more just to get away for a week for a nice break.

    Any advice where would be suitable?

    Thanks in advance...

    "reasonably priced" is very subjective. What is cheap for me may be expensive for you.

    I always end up recommending these: www.thetraveldepartment.ie - my parents have gone with them numerous times - very reasonable, good accommodation and usally half board with some tours thrown in. See where they're going on the week of your choice ...

    My mother,sister and aunt just came back from the old town of peurto del carmen in Lanzarote.Stayed in a quiet 1 bed apartment that had two seperate beds and a pull out sofa.An Irish couple own it that my aunt knows.Had a great time chilling out at the pool in the little complex and I think they said it had a bar with food.

    Meant to be a good spot for food aswell and the tours are good.There is some artist on the island that created loads of artwork on the island.

    I could try and get the number of the person that has the apartment if you want OP

    Yep, I'd also recommend Lanzarote, ideally Puerto del Carmen. It's a lovely place to holiday in, everything is on your doorstep. (Try to get accommodation in Puerto del Carmen, within walking distance of the old town) I found it reasonably quite, and not over run with either party people or masses of children. I think that's the kind of place an older person would appreciate. There's restaurants galore and eating out is cheap, or if you get an apartment, food is reasonably priced. Holiday rates there are attractive too. Budget Travel do late booking Lanzarote special offers. Before you book check out the accommodation on offer using an independent travel review web site like TripAdvisor.
