Costa de la Luz appeals more. Seville a shortish train ride away and quieter and less brash is my impression.

Yes. It was September we were there, and it was still pretty warm, but not silly hot.

Just stay in a 5 star hotel
Torremolinos is surprisingly nice in places!
I concur with Seville but direct flights are not an option from Edinburgh, so my wife tells me so not easy to go back now !

The beach near the ferry port for Gozo is sandy but it’s owned by a hotel(we’ve stayed before it was extended, at the time it was nice).
There’s a huge beach in melieha. Gozo is the place I’d go….beach tastic and the bays are glorious. The island isn’t that big that it cannot be explored in a day with a quad but large enough not to be bored.

Yes, we stayed in that same hotel. Hired a car for several days, one of which we went over to Gozo. And agreed, if we ever went back, Gozo does look the nicer pace to stay.
There is also a fairly small sandy beach across the bay from the other side of the hotel. If you are a reasonably strong swimmer, you can swim from the hotel across to that bay and back (I did, one day).

From memory there was two hotels, one closer to the port entrance, the further away(Ramala) was ours.
100% Gozo, much prettier, we must return but when our daughter who’s currently 2 is older to cope with the sun.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I don't bother with holidays. I live in Mid Wales with fantastic scenery and places to visit so why go anywhere else and spend a fortune.

Only one hotel that close - now called Paradise Bay hotel. But there are two just a little further away in Marfa, one of which is the Ramla, so I would guess that is where you stayed.

Yes, but it isn't a long drive, and nor is it a long ferry trip. A lot of package holiday transfers take longer.

Imo worth it.
