Children go free holidays??

Hi,
OK, im having trouble finding a holiday where my son goes free to a destination that is outside of the euro...
My son will be 13 when we travel and I cant seem to find a offer where that age is covered by the child rate or by the children go free offers.. the other problem we have is that as he is 13 years old and my partner is not his father we do not ideally want to share a room, we went to turkey this year and managed to get accommodation with an upstairs and a downstairs with our room upstairs and his down.... we would be happy with a villa or a room with interconnecting door or a sepearte room altogether, but as he is 13 he is classed as a child, despite not being able to find child prices or offers for him!
We also want to travel somewhere that is outside of the eurozone so that it isnt really expensive when we get there.... we are on a budget ...approx £1200 max for flights and accom
any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated.
thanks

Don't feel as if you have to limit yourself to free child places-you may find it cheaper to fly low-cost and book the hotel/apartment direct. £1200 is a decent budget, but it's difficult for anybody to make suggestions without knowing what you want from a holiday.import this0

Kid goes free places aren't free, cos they just bung an extra £200 of the adult prices.
I got an all inclusive week in Turkey, in May, Turkey 5* hotel, inclusive kids clubs and entertainment, and everything else, for family of 4 for £1180. How? I sat in the travel agents office for around 2 hours, and me and her went through all the hotels, me in the book, her checking the live prices. I paid a deposit and had it all sorted.
The internet is great, but sometimes you can get better deals, quicker, working0 -

lol.... no, although go a upstairs and downstairs in turkey there wasnt enough privacy for that business!!!! but as a boy going through pubity he doesnt really want so seem me or my partner getting dressed or visa versa....
