I have not been to the Algarve although from the web you appear right to resist it http://uk.weather.com/outlook/travel/vacationplanner/weather/tenday/POXX0022?x=18&letter=P&y=9 highs of 14-16' C for Feb and March. For sun I think you are going to have to go long-haul, or at least to the Canaries.

As an alternative, no sun but no problem, I can recommend the continental Centerparcs - esp. de Kempervennen in the Netherlands. Much better than ther UK ones.

thanks for the reply I will definately look at this center parc idea as I have been to the one in the lake district several times and love it there :)

I think the Canaries would be a good idea, not too far on a plane and would expect pretty decent weather.

I think Egypt would be a much better choice weather wise, and there are some good bargains for this part of the world at the moment - the only downside is the flight times...5-6 hours depending where you are going. :d:
Make sure you pick a good 5* hotel (they are not too expensive out there) and you should be fine tummy wise.

Don't be tempted by Tunisia as it is sunny but a cool breeze blows off the sea that time of year.

Thanks for all your help just managed to get a 4 star all inclusive in fuerteventura for a week - delighted as this hotel gets fantastic reviews on trip advisor and got it for a great price !;) As this is not our main holiday I only had so much to spend as this is down to a surprise rebate from the tax man !!:spin: :D so all the drinks and food will taste even better and the weather should be great !:wave:

Another recommendation of Centerparcs in the Netherlands. We went to De Kempervennen last August for a week & it was fantastic & so much cheaper than the normal CPs over here

Jenelle which hotel in Fuerteventura have you booked? If it's the Barcelo in Caleta de Fuste then you're in for a treat - we stayed there a couple of years ago and it was fab.

No it's the atlantis suites resort hotel (2 bed suite), facilites look great and all inclusive so not a thing to cook all week !!!;) :spin: :D

Glad to here it! We go there next week. Just searching The Dibb to see if anyone can recommend things to do but having seen your countdown you will be last minute packing - have a great time
