My wife and I want a memorable holiday in May - hot weather, great beaches and lots to see and do - BUT we don't want to have to have jabs or take malaria tablets. Any ideas.

I can strongly recommend Corralejo in Fuerteventura.
We have been there several times over the years and it has always been brilliant.
It is so relaxing, with beautiful beaches, friendly people, great food and loads to see and do.
There are loads of watersports and scuba diving if you want to do them but no pressure if you don't.
There are also quite a few clubs and bars etc, but it is not shoved in your face all the time like it is in some places and it is just as easy to go for a romantic stroll along the beach and stop at one of the restaurants by the harbour - El Tren is very good.
As for places to stay; I can recommend either the Lobos Bahia Club or Los Delphines Apartments - both very nice and very clean as well as being good value.
As it is a tax free island there are also some great bargains to be had in the numerous electronics shops - remember to haggle though!
The weather is fantastic all year round and in May it should be around 80 degrees although take sun screen as there is a contant cooling breeze so sometimes you don't realise how warm the sun can be.
You can also take the glass bottomed ferry across to Lanzarote for some serious shopping. The boat does some detours along the way to go dolphin and whale spotting - take a camera.
Have a look at www. fuertevenuta.com
I'm planning to go back again soon!

Barbados is lovely or, as others have said, anywhere in the Med. Why not check out Spain's Costa Brava. Spectacular beaches all the way up the coast, small fishing towns and also just a short drive/train ride away from Barcelona. City and beach, lots to do and see!!
