Me and the wife are wanting to go away in August somtime and need some ideas! We usually either go to Turkey (which we don't want to go to again) and places more exotic like Mexico and Florida which we can't really afford just after getting married 
Has anyone been to a cheap hotel somwere that has really been good and suprised them?? Were not after luxery for just a week just a well placed and well looked after hotel.Thinking all inclusive if we can and places like Majorca, Minorca, Greece etc etc

Isn't Tenerife a bit of a shithole though? Like Falaraki?
Didn't think of Benidorm...will try...
France....Noooooooooooo Mainland spain? Maybe.

Lanzarote is ok in terms of what you are looking for, have a mooch on www.icelolly.com I went all inclusive to over new year (via icelolly) for about £450 for a week which is an expensive time of year. Place I stayed was 2nd largest resort called costa teguise and was nice enough

We went on a cheap all inclusive to Majorca a couple of years back....place called Calas De Mallorca.
Quite quiet but really clean and generally a nice relaxing environment.
Also went on a cheapo holiday to Lorret De Mar - biggest shit hole on this planet so avoid!
Benidorm has people slagging it off but I think it's greatso try there.....
In August though you need to expect to pay well over the odds because it's school holidays. I'm going away with a lot of my family this year but had to go in the school holidays cos my sister works in a school...... was about £500 more for me and the missus than going early July

I went with my parents and the missus when I was 16 and thought it was great...... can't remember it being that much of a dump.
Basically one main street of bars leading right down to the beach..... I'd personally recommend it
