Thanks guys
Plans are on hold at the moment as my old Mum is sick again but I will get there eventually.
As well as Hilton and Starwood I'll be looking at long term apartment rates, for instance I know that in Cyprus I can rent a 2 bed house with a communal pool for £300 GBP a month in say November, classed as off season but temperatures still around 24 C. Just a short hop to Dubai as well, this sounds better the more I look at it ^
