Have you considered somewhere a little further South

Benidorm is Extremely cheap for accomodation AND entertainment/ drinks out

last September we paid
9€95 for All You Can Eat Buffet at a good chinese Restaurant
9€ 99 for a three course All You can Eat Buffet CARVERY for Sunday Lunch with drinks

Drinks varied from 1€ for local beers and 1€50 for English Beers (1 pint measures)
Wine was 1€ - 1€50 per glass and spirits

Soft drinks varied but Alcohol Free Beer was available in most bars and tasted far better than UK one ever has

Just returned from Benidorm and had breakfast at Mariano's, €2 for 2 slices of toast, 2 soft eggs, 2 English rashers of bacon, mushrooms and tinned tomato plus small glass of fresh orange. Bargain!

Thanks all ,Benidorm is cheap the flights are not as cheap as they used to be haha will see what they work out at.

just give us some more info ok.like which airport is best to you.h/b would be ok for your group.as villas are not cheap.and you gotta cook and get into town and back.would some mind sharing a room so it would be a 3 .3 and a two.or would 4 rooms be better.
