Family of 6 holiday with sun in April - where

Hi folks

I wonder if anyone could help me, I'm looking for a family holiday for the easter hols next year. We are in Scotland and our holidasy are funny, so was hoping to get a good deal, but

We are family of six, 2 adults, 2 children (6 and 4) and two infants ( they will be just under two). So am finding it difficult first of all to find many places that will take six! We will go anywhere as long as its warm (by that I mean warm enough for kids to go swimming in the pool etc).

Does anyone have any suggestions? Was looking at Canaries but it doesn't seem very cheap.

My budget is variable - would like to spend not much more than £1000 for the week but would be prepared to pay a bit more for posh hotel/all incluisve etc.

Any suggestions welcome

Thanks!

    It may be cheaper to fly from say Newcastle NCL or Manchester MAN airports but the kerfuffle with 4 little ones may not be worth it.
    There is lots of self catering accommodation near Alicante and Murcia airports with places to eat out that can be good value, depends if you need cots for the infants.

    We can leave from late 1st of april till 10th April. Not really too keen on flying from English airports, have still to convince my OH that we need an Easter holiday so the driving down to manchester or newcastle would be the nail in the coffin.

    Is there anywhere apart from the canaries that is warm at that time of year?

    Thanks
