To be honest, because we've been a few times over the years we tend to book everything separately in terms of flight and hotel etc. We usually stay at the Marina which is basic but right on the beach - https://www.hotelmarinasoller.com/
Just had a quick look and Jet2 do operate some packages to there - https://www.jet2holidays.com/destinations/balearics/majorca/puerto-soller (I'd probably ignore the Jumeirah as an option unless you happen to be a Premier League footballer undercover on here!).
 
Just come back from Melbourne, Florida. Beautiful beach, great hotel, and not as mad as Orlando (60 miles away). Weather is perfect at this time and we even got to see a Space X launch, while stood on the beach with a couple of beers. Lovely stuff.

A truly jaw dropping city architecturally-and I'm not usually into that sort of stuff. As are restaurant prices if you go to tourist areas. Go back a few streets and eat where the locals do.

Thanks for the advice. Makes sense, although my Scottish accented Italian is dodgy to say the least.

(opening myself up to Scottish accent comments :))
 
Booked Dubrovnik for the summer family holiday. I do like Croatia and been to Poreč and Makarska over the past couple of years. Any recommendations of things to do visit in Dubrovnik?

I'm going Miami in June (via Nashville) but flying home from orlando so was going to do a night or two in between on the way.
I'll look into this as not looked here.
Was looking more at Cocoa Beach or Port Saint Lucie.
Suitable for five 40 year old lads?

That depends on the expectations of this particular group of 40YO lads!! There are a few decent bars and Melbourne is a decent size, so I'm sure you'll be fine there.

I went to Porec in 1988. When it was in Yugoslavia!! Always said I’d go back one day

City walls tour is worth it - great views. Sounds obvious but would recommend doing it early or later in the day as it was scorchio when we did it at 10 a.m.

If you have the budget then definitely get the cable car up to the Panorama Restaurant on top of Mount Srj.
Spent 10 days there last summer. Booked day trips into Bosnia (Crevice Waterfalls and Mostar) and Montenegro (Kotor Bay).
Several boat trips available to nearby small islands.
Oh and visit the Fat Bastard Pub :-) too.

Dubrovnik is a lovely place. Gets busy during the day with the cruise ships though.
We did a couple of game of thrones tours. A walking tour to get some insight to the history. City walls tour is great. Cable car up the mountain. Boat trip to Lokrun Island.

Yes, go in October. Summer its absolutely rammed, and when I say rammed, imagine the most busiest place you've been to and times it by 10. Good luck.

Was 44 degrees when we went to Mostar. Felt like I was internally combusting especially sat on the bus at border control from Croatia.
