Holiday abroad for SIX children!!

Hi

My OH and I may be getting some money coming our way in the few months and were planning to use it as a deposit for our 1st holiday abroad with all of our combined children (I have 2 from a previous relationship, he has 3 from his previous relationship and we have 1 together!!) so we have six between us lol. We are not planning to go until next year (2012) but just thought I would post on here to see if anyone knew any places that are good with large families lol!! The children are all boys and will be aged 4, 8,8, 10, 12 and 13 when we go. My OH's boys have also never been abroad b4!! Any ideas, suggestions greatly appreciated thanks!! (oh and we also wanted all inclusive!!)

    Mallorca, Menorca or mainland Spain. We have 5 children and travel with a single mum and her 3 children, so we have 8. We love Spain its safe, warm, family friendly, close and there is lots to do and see, English is widly spoken and you will have a fab time :-)
    Debt free and plan on staying that way!!!!

    Menorca is good for families. Very safe place and child friendly, plus a short flight time.

    I've just been looking around as we've just booked to go there in the summer and remembered that this one has three bedroom apartments:
