Family Holiday with stuff for toddlers - suggestions please

Hi All,

We are looking at going on holiday in September (we have 2 weeks off from Sept 11th, but only want to go away for 7 nights). We did a First Choice Holiday Village in Spain last year, which was fab. We'd like somewhere warm, all inclusive with stuff for kids to do (ages 2 years and will be 9 month old baby) and (ideally!) a creche. Apparently Thompson do some, but can't seem to find anything ontheir website. Budget around £1500.

Thanks,
Flis

    Hi

    I can recommend Holiday Village Sharm el sheikh, we went there in sept 2008 and weather was fab, my kids were 4yrs and 1yr and they absolutley loved it, the kids club was fab and kept my eldest entertainedn and the creche was great also, however we did need to pay extra for that, i beleive it was equiv of £10 for 2 hrs..(however my memory is that great:o)

    ive been looking of first choice website and come across 1 wk AI at HV Sharm for just under £1900
    for 2 adults, 1 child and 1 infant.

    I would imagine all HV's are really good for children but for that time of yr I would suggest egypt.

    ps, egypt is about 6hrs flight from Gatwick though.

    You want the Thomson Family Club Extra hotels. They also have family club but they don't have a creche just a kids club for over 3's. The Family club extra's have the creche for babies aged from 6 weeks to 3 years. They have hotels all over europe but from memory (we have been with them the last 3 years but not all inclusive) they definately have AI hotels in Gran Canaria, Majorca, Cyprus, and Ibiza - if not others. The full range is in the thomson family brochure 2010, familyclub is rebranding to family resorts for 2011 so they won't be in the 2011 brochure.

    Thanks Diddyangel, didn't realise there were different ones! I have now managed to find a Thomson hotel in Ibiza (Hotel Presidente) which has everything we wanted, have even been able to prebook a steriliser and 3 x 2hr sessions in the creche. Got it for £1212 as they had a free kids place as well. Am really pleased and very excited now!

    I'm sure you'll love it - the children will without doubt :) You got a really good price as well. We are off on our 3rd familyclub holiday this year and the kids are VERY excited!!!!
