Canary islands if you're looking to stay in Europe wouldn't be bad.

Was going to suggest the Canary islands but beaten to it. Cyprus would also have reasonably hot weather that time of year too.

Cape Verde as an alternative to the Canaries?

But for a 6night stay 10 hour flight is too far!

We are getting married in late November and we are heading to Tenerife and staying in the H10 Gran Tinerfe in Costa Adeje. We have been there before, it's a fab hotel right on the beach in a quiet area but only 5 minutes walk from the busier area of Veronica's in Las Americas. Loads of restaurants and bars within walking distance so it's ideal.

We're doing the canaries in April next week. From my own experience of being there before, I really like Peurto Del Carmen in Lanzarote. We're heading back to Lanzarote actually but just to a different part. The nicest hotels we came across are the H10's, barcelo's and mirador papagayo

I've stayed in this place in Playa Blanca a couple of times, really lovely.

We booked the hotel direct and the flights ourself as we wanted as much flexibility as possible. We went half board with the hotel, I think it was approx €120 per night which was good as its a lovely place ðŸ˜

We had our honeymoon in Suite Princess in Gran Canaria 3 weeks ago. Adult only and all inclusive. I'm not sure of the cost as hubby organised it all. It really was a little piece of heaven and if you do book make sure to ask for a quiet room as you are on your honeymoon and they'll throw in a few upgrades for free for you!

You haven't really mentioned a budget. You could stay in Maspalomas. Lots of really nice hotels there or somewhere like the Gloria Palace Amadores which is close to Puerto Rico and Amadores beach. Hotels in that area have some great views of the sea and coast as they are elevated but the nightlife probably wouldn't be great around there. Alternatively you could look at Hotel Cordial in Mogan. Again it all depends on your budget.

We went to Gran Canaria for our honeymoon. We had been a few times and always stayed in the same self catering bungalow. The owners are from NI and are amazing.

It says they are booked for early November but worth an email to double check.

Thank you shinto!i will look into those hotels and areas. Idealy we want a beach hotel but one that is reasonably close to where the night life is good. As regards budget we would like the best value possible for a good hotel. We have 5 nights so was thinking €700 to an absolute max of €800!

Puerto rico has a lot of bad reviews on tripadvisor!

pooch90

I thought Puerto Rico was a bit meh to be honest!
Mogan is beautiful but more for a day trip. Playa del Ingles is what you expect really.
Faro de maspalomas was nice though.
To be honest, it's all really handy to get to by bus or taxi. I'd just choose the nicest hotel!
