Holiday idea help...please?

How about Mexico? Or somewhere similar? I'd say you could manage that on your budget had that would be for all inclusive so all your food and drink would be paid for.

What time of year? You can get some great bargains to Thailand and the weather is just perfect Easter-ish. Flights are expensive (prob close to half you budget for the two of you - cheaper if you don't take a direct flight) but once you are there, it is so so cheap - and you will be truly spoiled! Internal flights are also v. cheap as well, so you can explore a bit/spend time in two locations if that is what you're looking for.

We had a hol like this in April when we just desperately needed to get away to have some 'us' time and it was simply amazing ❤️ Flights, 3 days in a 5* hotel in Bangkok, an internal flight to Trat + speed boat ticket to Koh Kood island, 10 nights in a (pretty basic but flippin romantic) villa on the beach on koh kood, hire of diving equipment and a refresher lesson came in just shy of £2500 for the two of us. Worth. every. penny.

We did it ourselves using skyscanner for flights inc internal ones (takes you to the cheapest website), hotels.com for accommodation and then we called up the hotel on koh kood about speed boat transfers and dive hire.

Our flights were via singapore which was no prob on the way there (2 hr stopover), but a real drag on the way back - 12 hrs overnight. It meant that it wasn't 3000k holiday though!

There is a hotel at singapore airport (transit hotel) where you can book a room by the hour, ha! We didn't realise this and it was fully booked when we turned up at 1am so ended up finding a place to kip in the terminal. I plonked myself in a massage chair, whilst H found a bench to sprawl on in a different part of the airport. He subsequently got hounded by the police at about 4am looking for his documentation that was in my handbag and I was sparko so didn't hear his desperate phone calls (whoops). All turned out fine!

Good ideas ladies, thank you. It would have to be during August to fit into school holidays (darn being a teacher haha). It might make a diff to some places so I should really bear that in mind.

If you're restricted to a time if year and a budget, I'd go to an agent for an idea of what's available and a good time if year to go.

What about Cyprus? North is supposed to be lovely. Cape Verde? Egypt? Goa?

CUBA!!!!!!!!!! We did 2 weeks all inc for around 700 pp a coupel years ago so reckon youd easily get it within your budget!

Sadly £2000 in August generally wont get you very far.

If you can be flexible on dates in August it might be possible to book a late deal also many airlines run flight sales in January so worth keeping an eye out.

Hayes and Jarvis often have good deals on.

Agree with funky unfortunately £2k won't go that far in August but I'd recommend santorini in greece. We went for our honeymoon. It's a beautiful island, easy to get around and loads to see. As it's shorter haul you might manage it for your budget.

Flow - no chance of getting 2 weeks in cuba for that anymore, we're going in feb and have paid over £1k each easily!

How about Jamaica it is a nice place to visit.

Here's the cake, thanks so much for the ideas, I shall begin my hunt...

Turkey is my suggestion. We had a terrific honeymoon there for £750pp All inc but That was April/May so just outside the season. The staff in hotels cant do enough for you in Turkey honestly.

If you are thinking Europe, Parga in Greece is blooming gorgeous. Also I went to a place called Lazise on Lake Garda this August and that was just beautiful!
