Family holiday

Am looking to go on holiday around may 2011,
and ive been looking around and reading reviews (what a nightmare)

am looking for a good family holiday i.e 4 adults 2 kids one child 3 years old and the other child 13 years old.

what am looking for is all inclusive, and has to have a big water park near by.. ive looked at Fuerteventura and buka water park, but the hotels around seem to be not so good on the food side of things...

has anybody got any ideas of a good alround place to go within about 4 hours flight max due to the first time the childern have been on a plane..
many thanks

    Bulgaria, Sunny Beach...although I wouldn't go all inclusive here, usual deals are bed and breakfast. Once you are there it is extremly cheap and they also offer free child places alot of the time - try the balkan website.

    You can get a pint of beer for like 70p!! Honestly very cheap! :)

    If the water park is your priority, then I would highly recommend Siam Park in Tenerife. It has to be the best water park in Europe and they run free courtesy busses covering all the main resorts in the south of the island.

    The Salou area in Costa Dorada, Spain is also quite a good base for water park fun. None of the water parks here are a patch on Siam Park but there is the Portaventura Aquatic Park, Aqualand at La Pinada (nice Dolphin show here) and a little further out, Aqua Leon water park/zoo. As a bonus, there is also the Portaventura theme park, which in my opinion is the better than any UK theme park.

    Having just returned from Tenerife, I can recommend it as well. Siam Park is perfect, also there are boat trips to see dolphins, orca shows, etc.

    Try Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt. We've just booked and got a good price with First Choice. Many of their hotels have waterslides which im sure the kids will love.

    Good luck.

    thanks and happy hols
