Family holiday with good facilities but no drunk people?

wendydarling

I am trying to find somewhere to take my 3 and 6 year olds on holiday in the summer. They love swimming pools with slides etc but I don't want to go anywhere that is lively at night (want somewhere quiet from 7pm onwards) and do not want to be surrounded by people drinking too much alcohol/loud and unnacceptable behaviour. Does anyone have any suggestions? Budget is £2000 for 2 adults and 2 children for the end of June/beginning of July. Do not mind duration as long as it is 7 nights minimum.

Thanks

Have a look at Menorca, we have had some fantastic holidays there, and the resorts are very family friendly!

Great thanks, do you know what sites are the best to look at?

We stayed at Cala Bona in Mallorca in early April in a thomson's hotel called the bonaire it was lovely and exactly as you described but would imagine in peak season it would be a different matter xxx

Check out pestana porto santo on trip advisor. Only downside is you need to fly from Gatwick, but it is as good as the reports say. First Choice or Thomson go there, check prices on both.

Why? Have you the perfect knowledge of each and every family holiday possibility in Europe and deemed each and everyone family unfriendly?

Check out Mr Wangs other posts - he has similar non constructive comments about most other destinations people ask about. Simon Calder is still safe in his job.

Kefalonia in Greece is really lovely, and very quiet. We hardly saw any of the 'Brits abroad' sort of people there

Nice small island, very beautiful and nice beaches. Most of the hotels I saw there though were small ones.

Turkey tends to have hotels with lots of water slides etc.

Cala Santandria in Menorca. It was mainly Spanish people on holiday and we didn't see anyone getting drunk or rowdy. Lovely little resort with a nice beach, and a short walk into Cala Blanca which is a slightly bigger resort. The beach is sandy and the water is shallow for a long way out. It's a long inlet so there are no big waves and it's very safe for playing in.

You can get the bus to water parks in other bigger resorts. We did that one day.

Try Eurocamp website and when checking park site look out for quiet site as the parks are marked as as noisy quiet ect. any park with lots of children will be a little noisy as children are children having fun . www.eurocamp.com
