Nice Holiday Destination In April

[kaiser78]

So I have got a week off work in April and want to go away the week after Easter for a week or so. Nowhere fancy, kids want chill+sun, so probably hotel and pool etc. Europe bit risky weather wise - can anyone recommend anywhere ?

Canaries are usually decent weather, and not too far.

We are looking at Cape Verde as well which is supposed to be decent weather.

Get a caravan in the lakes. If it rains give them a kagool and wellies and let them play in the steam building dams and the like..... oh, wrong generation sorry.

1 more vote for the Canaries, good weather all around plenty of activities and cheap. Flight time is about 4h. Personal preference is costa Adeje on Tenerife.

Or Puerto del Santiago; superb beach (albeit black), quiet and not that commercial. We stayed in a cheapo hotel, being skinflints, but plenty of nice ones there (including one with a 100' waterfall on the front...)

Weather across Teneriffe won't be an issue. It's almost invariably a warm spring. West cost preferable to the North since the wind gets stopped by the socking great volcano (Mount Teide - take a drive up there) in the middle of the island.

Florida?

Oman.

Oman.

Chedi is my favourite, but the Shangri-la might be more family oriented
