Cancun. Was there last October and it was bloody hot. Nice place too. It was cheaper than 2 weeks all inc. in the Canaries if you book early.

what hotel did you stay at out of interest?

Another vote for Turkey, smashing place. We're off there again in July for the 6th year running (well, flying actually)

Hi all NSC

Want to take family driller on hot holiday in October half term, the med seems out and we went to Egypt last year so want to try something else.
Kids are 7& 10 and like things to do

Caribbean seems a risk with hurricanes, so has anyone got any ideas on good destinations.

Over to the good NSC folk.....

Did Sisily in October, spaced out on Mondello bay beach for a week. was brilllllllliant.

Crown Paradise. Very nice. 2 accommodation blocks in a horse shoe shape. If you go for tower 1, book a room on a high floor as the bar is below you. Best go for tower 2. Apart from that it was a very good hotel, loads of different restaurants within the complex, nice staff, loads of pools, right on the beach etc. Booked it through MyTravel and the flights were with Virgin. Quite a few nice hotels along that strip.

Kefalonia is a beautiful island and was still warm in October when I went a few years back.

Cancun. Nice weather and exceptional value for money.

Madeira but it depends what the kids expect from a holiday

Yes, very temperate if you stay on the coast, gets a bit cool and wet in Ribiero Frios though. We had good fun walking the Levadas until a dead dog floated by. Kids would love that.

Oh and don't worry about the hurricanes. I have to track the damn things. You will be fine.

Have you considered Northern Cyprus?

Why would anyone want to go somewhere that, with the exception of Turkey, is considered as an occupied Country.

I think you should try somewhere new.

Dubai Atlantis - October is the perfect temperature plus the kids will love the waterpark, the river ride takes 45 minutes from start to finish. Simply amazing.

Try West coast of Mexico,we went to Puerto Vallarta,fantastic place,loads to do.It may be back end of rainy season then,but it only rains late afternoon for an hour or so with some spectacular Thunderstorms.

We have friends in LA and have been out there for the end Oct/early Nov half term on three occasions. The weather is almost guaranteed to be excellent (circa 25 degrees, sun from dawn til dusk). Great beaches (Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Manhattan Beach, etc), plus Universal Studios for the kids. Don't bother with a hotel, rent someone's apartment through websites like airbnb.com. Only drawback is flight time - but then it's the same for Cancun.

Why ? We've been all over the place and have found somewhere we really like.

Croydon... Gets very hot if too close to the burning buildings though.
