Florida is Hot in November, no massive crowds and outside of Schools holidays quite cheap.

If you are not into the theme park orlando type place, Sarasota is further down and quiet. Worth a look.

Canaries are hot all the time, though mostly the Ibiza type holiday now.

Spain, IMHO, has suffered badly, and even places like La Manga seem run down.

Southern med, or eastern med, should be in low 20s - but check online. Some of the greek islands cater for the quiet, romantic type getaways, esp if you are prepared to travel to proper tavernas at night.

If you want all inclusive, TBH you could go anywhere. All hotels look the same. So somewhere hot is enough.  Red Sea resorts in Eygpt are alledgedly a good place for sun, and often all-inclusive. Never been myself. But my memories of Eygpt are there are a lot on light fingered locals, so stay in hotel, or on organised tours.

If you want for solitude, a private villa is nice. As we speak, thats what I'm staying in.

Yep. Went there in February last year. A very welcome break. Clearwater is quite nice for a beach holiday too, from memory.

Mrs. KW and I went to Cape Town in (our) autumn on our honeymoon, and that would be lovely that time of year. You probably need to keep your wits about you a little more than in europe / US destinations, though, and if you're after a predominantly beach holiday rather than sight seeing / travelling around there's probably little point in going that far (no jet lag, though).

Private Villa gets my vote, can't stand the all inclusive hotels. You have to share everything with other people! I want a private pool, my own space when on holiday.

I went to Crete last month, near 40 most days, Winter its going to be cool, but not cold.

Highly recommend James Villa's, always very good, we went to Portugal last year. Hire cars are usual run of the mill FWD boxes, but their Villas are lovely:

Had a fortnight in Cyprus quite a few years ago.Really liked it.Stayed in Paphos,which was lively but not too lively. Took a mini cruise to Israel and Egypt while we were there,which was brilliant and very cheap.Not sure if the Egypt leg of the cruise would be available in the current climate though.
Cems country is also worth considering.Very nice indeed,although it can be very very hot mid summer. Almost as hot as it was at the pyramids in Egypt. :y
Plenty to see in Turkey if you get away from the usual tourist traps. ;)

At that time of the year it's either the Canaries or I would prefer Madeira beautiful island and a tad unusual destination away from the common rabble :y :y
