The key is to book early and book in advance, which means you need to get your family/friends together and fight out where you want to go this summer (or alternatively, if you have no money you can start planning a nice trip in the autumn instead, when prices are likely to go down.)
While deciding where to go, there are a few places you could look, for example if you're booking independently then the low cost or sale prices for some airlines, while websites like TripAdvisor are also great for telling you what kinds of things are there to do.
You also need to be realistic, while you might be imagining a paradise in your head, the reality is likely to be very different. Sun holidays attract all kinds of people, however you are more likely to find big families and unruly children running wild.

I would also say not to be afraid to go somewhere different, and just because it is summer doesn't mean you need to go on a sun holiday, and sit by the pool all day. The weather in Europe is gorgeous during the summer, and a city break could be the answer for someone looking for something a little more exciting, while still getting a good tan out sightseeing.
While it is blatantly obvious for most people to book everything separately online, there are still Travel Agents in business and they could be something to consider. Although they are likely to be more expensive this isn't always the case (especially in group bookings of 10+), and most [all?] of these companies are bonded so you will be refunded if there are any issues.
