It’s time to think about escaping for some much-needed autumn or winter sunshine
This summer’s heatwaves are a distant memory, the British weather is getting colder and more grey by the day and so it’s time to think about getting away for some autumn or winter sun.
With this in mind, we have found an all-inclusive package for Canary Island sunshine from £209 per person that’s available throughout November, December and January, though prices vary and are higher in January,
It comes via deals site Wowcher, is ATOL protected and offers up to seven nights at the four-star Sevatur Altamadores hotel in Gran Canaria with flights included from Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Manchester, London Gatwick, Luton or Stansted.
On TripAdvisor, the Sevatur Altamadores hotel, on the island’ sunny southwest coast has a 4.2-star rating out of five, after a total of 1,481 reviews.
Wowcher says: “Sun, sea and scenery await, your island retreat is just a click away! We’re offering you a three, four, five or seven-night four-star Gran Canaria, Spain beach break with all-inclusive board and flights, saving you up to 30%.”
A visitor called Emma wrote: “We are having a wonderful holiday here. The accommodation is clean and modern.
“Maid service is five days per week I think. I am vegan, and waiter Frederico has been excellent. We are close to Puerto Rico (short taxi ride) where there is entertainment, including football matches on the big screen.”
Another visitor was also impressed with the level of customer care, saying: “Lovely hotel and rooms excellent, so big. Yes it was a walk up and down a big hill to the beach but the hotel was peaceful and the views fantastic!
“My husband is coeliac and needs a gluten free diet but they knew all about this and couldn’t do enough for him. We were so relieved about this and could relax and enjoy our holiday.”
One holidaymaker had a word of advice: “No sunbed wars - always plenty available just too close together in my opinion.
“A bit of a walk to the beach but all downhill and only 4 euros for a return taxi. Same if you wanted to go into Europa or Barbacoa centre. All in all a great holiday and met some very lovely people and great value for money paid.”
Obviously, if it’s all downhill on the way to the beach, it’s all uphill on the way back so that’s worth bearing in mind
Alternatively, Jet2holidays has a Black Friday deal whereby holidaymakers can save £100 per person on all holidays.
It has holidays to a number of Gran Canaria resorts, including Puerto Rico, Playa Del Ingles, La Playa Del Toro, Maspalomas and several more besides.
