Best all inclusive Holidays

    Hi There,

    I'm wondering if someone knows where the best value would be on an all-inclusive holiday. I looked at Spain, and considering flight prices I reckon somewhere near Malaga airport would be cheapest.

    Here are the criteria I'm using:

    - Somewhere reasonably warm (I was thinking Spain, but would be open to suggestions for other places)
    - 11 nights in mid-late October
    - potentially all-inclusive (flights + hotel + maybe meals)
    - We are a young couple (mid 20s/early 30s) with no kids. Not looking for a crazy party spot, a family resort or somewhere too quiet.
    - Accodomdation 1-2 hrs max from airport
    - €500-600 p.p. or less (unless I'm dreaming & I should expect to pay more. In which case, please advise).

    I was quoted €1300 on Low Cost Holidays (Irish site) for 2 people & more on Budget Travel, Falcon etc.

    I haven't booked a holiday like this for years, so please tell me if I'm completely off the mark, or if there are newer/better options I haven't considered. Would go somewhere else if it met the criteria. Also - I'm not married to the included meals idea, if a better option exists.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    I've only done one all inclusive in Europe and it wasnt great, if you want proper all inclusive head to carribean/Mexico you wouldn't be far off there on your budget..
    Booked a good few times through tropical sky they should be able to find something for you.

    Have a look at the likes of sri lanka and thailand as well, if you don't go all inclusive make sure the hotel is near shops and restraunts etc or you'll get cleaned off on food and drink in the hotel. Give tropical sky a ring and tell them what your after, found them great. You can save some money by not getting hotel transfers organised, sometimes it can be just as handy get the bus or cab from the airport unless the hotel have a dedicated bus. October would be a little off season so should be some good deals out there.
    You could end up in Coco Bongos yet : )
