Want to go on holiday from the 24th July for 10 days - me and the wife are trying to book something.

Want a hot holiday/beach/pool

Budget around £1500 - 2000

All inclusive would be good but not essential

Any help would be great

If you can take the long flight, why dont you consider Thailand?? Once you are there, the food is GREAT and cheap!!!

Just back from Djerba, Southern Tunisia- hot is not the word, from 12-4pm you cannot be outside. We went all inc. around £1200 for the pair of us. We stayed at Miramar Djerba Palace through Thomas Cook. Food and service was brilliant, pour you own beer as and when you wish.
It's the first season Brits have been going there so entertainment is geared around the French but most have a spattering of English.
Be warned though, there is fuck all off the complex apart from the beach. Trips are not advisable- we did the Sahara desert/ Star Wars set trip on Thursday- £45 each- was a 15 hour day at 50+degrees of which about 11hours were coach bound, round trip was 520km !
Everywhere there are street hawkers who are aggresive, if you show slight interest they will hound you and as soon as you say "Nah, it's alright not interested" they are quite vitriolic.
Stick to complex and you're fine.
No tummy problems, everyone drinks bottled as there is no natural water- it's pumped in via a 100km pipeline from Tunisian mainland.
Due to the "revolution" half the island is void of life, out of 380 hotels on the island only 97 are functioning.
Plus side- only saw 4 Rags- 3 Tunisians (wearing very bad rip off shirts) and a German- official Rag baseball cap.
Only mat one Blue, a Scot with the old crest tattooed over his heart !
PM if you want more info. But like I said it's heat like you'll never have known, if it was mainland it would technically be part of Sahara Desert !

Camping in Le Vendee, around St Jean De Monts.
Great sites, great wide sandy beaches, great weather, great Wine and there is just something superb about sitting outside a tent or a Gite in the morning with a cup of coffee and a freshly baked Coissant.
(some superb restauants and niteclubs as well)

Cyprus!!!

Going there in 2 weeks myself, reaches about 100° in august, the beaches are gorgous! We got a 2 week holiday for £1000 in a 2 star hotel, but having been there before its much better and they can't do enough for you!

Been to Cyprus about 8 times now, and Protatas is the place to go!
