Resort
Quick answer
Resort holidays combine return UK flights with a hotel that has its own pools, restaurants and leisure facilities, so most of the day is spent on site rather than out sightseeing. Decide how much you want to eat and drink at the hotel before comparing prices, because board basis moves the cost more than anything else. Then check the month you want against the average highs further down.
A resort holiday suits people who want to unpack once and have food, pools and a beach or garden within a short walk: families with young children, couples after a rest, and groups who want a fixed budget. It suits less well if you plan to explore every day, when a central hotel on bed and breakfast is usually better value.For country detail, see our Spain, Greece, Turkey and Egypt guides.
