for a last minute holiday for a week or so with the following requirements  :
*Not a massive complex
*Room with great views, preferably sea or nice pool
*Nice decor but not too modern and clinical
*Great staff and service
*Excellent and varied food (certainly no baked beans at breakfast) either on b&b or half board basis
*Nice terrace for pre-dinner drinks
*Lovely relaxing pool to soak up the sun
*Close to a little town for shopping and nice cafes, bars etc but not too lively
*Reasonably priced
I know it's a challenge but let's see

"Sounds like you need a travel agent "
Sounds like it but not really. Just want to hear from people who have been tp somewhere like that recently. I would even consider airbnb type of accommodation if it was a nice recommended place. |

"Labranda Sandy Beach, St George's South,Corfu hits all of those points other than its All Inclusive"
Thanks for that. Urs it is all inclusive which not mormally what I am looking for but far too big and according to many reviews quite crowded and noisy. I prefer smaller and more relaxing though it does look very nice in many respects |

"Palma"
100% palma
A majority of hotels fit the criteria
And a really good night life too
I go every year usually twice
Only had 1 bad hotel to date
Unfortunately can’t remember name
But it doesn’t have sea view anyway so you won’t be booking it lol
Really cheap deals atm too
All inc for 7 days around £5-600 per person
Was literally just looking 10 mins ago for October! |

Thanks, let me know if you come across anything nice, though not keen on all inc . Sea view also not an issue if it is still a nice view |

"Quinta Jardins du Lago in Madeira is great. The service is second to none.
Grupotel Molins in Majorca is also nice but the decor is a little tired.
"
Thank you, look nice. Not cheap if you add everything and pick better flights but certainly worth considering |

No probs, good to look at that anyway. I just refuse to pay extortionate prices these days as they all doubled their prices and halved the quality of their product. It's not an issue if you get what you paid for but not usually the case anymore  |

Madeira has all the things you require and there are a lot of hotels. Is the baked bean thing non negotiable?
Have you considered the Algarve? I can't recommend any other hotels in either place but they might be worth considering |

I am sorry but the baked bean thing is not negotiable. I don't want to see baked beans and tinned tomatoes on my holidays and they usually come with anemic limp sausages and who really wants those  |

"Does it have to be abroad?
Well was hoping for some sun. Why? Have you started doing airbnb? "
Lol no. I couldn't be putting up with the cleaning.
Sun is one of my requirements for a holiday I have to say.

We fully intend to, thank you. I think you'd like where we're going but I think it's possible that baked beans will be on offer at breakfast . |
