fwh - Lanzarote 'off peak' was lovely, we went in January and although it was quiet it wasn't too quiet if you know what I mean. Decent weather and prices weren't too bad for the holiday itself, and for eating out. It was a bit cloudy first thing in the morning but the sun came out shortly after. I have to say the evenings were pretty chilly, and some nights I slept in a fleece as the apartment blankets weren't too thick, but they weren't just sheets either.
Hope you get something sorted
Back on topic, i'm looking at going to one of those holiday villages all inclusive, but havent chosen what country yet. This will be a big 'splurge' holiday and will cost a lot more than our usual holidays, so i need to look in to it more.
