Where to find holiday for familly of 3 below 600

kesi10032003

Hi
I'm trying for more then a month to find some cheap one week All-inclusive holiday either march or April for family of 3.
My son is only 2,5 and it looks like most the UK travel agents (apart from few very expensive) wants to charge for young child as for the adult, despite that most hotels don't charge for kids under 12.
Please give me some tips where can I find holiday for us up to 600 pounds in total.
Many thanks in advance

Look at ryanair flights to Alicante and AI hotel in Benidorm.

hi

we went to ibiza in april and it was plenty hot enough but a lot closed due to not in season still ample enough open

benidorm aswell as above has a fantastic beach

check the following flights on ryan air

alicante
ibiza
reus
girona

Ive just looked family of three to ibiza 120 quid return from east mids airport
round it to 150 if you add the card payments on etc

I have seen other posts about AI and children and that the ages and rules are different. Maybe something to do with young kids in AI having loads of soft drinks, ice cream and burgers/hot dogs?

I agree about looking for a cheap flight and then an AI hotel direct. If you do this just make sure you have the correct travel insurance in case you flight is cancelled and you still have to pay for the hotel.

Thank you very much to your helpful replays:T

Just wanted to add a word of warning:

If your TOTAL budget is £600 for the 3 of you, do be really careful and read all the hotel reviews you can find BEFORE you book.

'Cheap' and 'All-inclusive' don't always go together well and you may find that the food is so appalling that you have no alternative but to eat out - and your 'cheap' AI deal ends up costing you more than if you'd booked a decent hotel.

I would look for a decent apartment self catering

check for reviews etc you should be able to get a lovely one for 150 that time of year

if you see one really cheap and basic with a plastic sofa its got plastic cushions for a reason so forget it

then in spain theres SPAR mini supermarket's nothing like the rip off SPARS over here you could do a weeks shop of good food for fair money

this would leave you cash in your pocket for a rainy day

the only experience I have of AI is a load of dads in the reception of the hotel with plastic pint glasses

this would be my worst nightmare

might be ok with you I dont know

Hey, good advise thank you. However i would love to have one week without cooking for my familly. Eating out would be difficult because my son is a fussy eater and hubby is a penny-pincher. I understand that for 600 I can't have any luxuries but I'm fine with that. Last spring we managed to go to Rhodos to Mitsis ALL for 650, and it was fantastic. It was so many offers. This year is not too good...:j

When I read your request I thought can't be done. Then I see you sort of did it last year, can I ask where you found last years holiday?
By the way the reason you pay for a child, they still take up an airplane seat & on a budget holiday that will form a large part of the cost.
There is no such thing as a free child place & as you've discovered holidays that do them, just charge more for the adult places.

I think it is very dooable -we have done it for 5 under 650 before now. -was Oct though.

use skyscanner and the budget flightchecker on here -find cheap flights that suit you-with a toddler you don't want to travel overnight- once you have a few choices look at travelrepublic and onthe beach for that area . Look at google map and see ehat the possibilities are. ie Reus -lots of different possibilities from here -easy -gerona /malaga -all have good options. Have you looked on icelolly.com -if there is not a good option on here for the time you want you will not get it in a travel agency and you need to DIY.-looking I see quite a few 1 week incl on 21/22 March in your budget -need to look and check airports/flights and reviews.

Travel republic are great prices and give you the choice of many Uk operator hotels cheaper . You need to check reviews on trip advisor -as with packages as well. Shuttle direct do transfers cheapily and easily from lots of places. Most packages can be put together easily on the internet for less. Up till recently my budgat for a family holiday was about £500 for a week but I have upped recently as prices have risen.

the best bet this year is March -throughout the UK the Easter hols stretch from 1st April through to end of April in different places so April will not be as good a deal
