Spending money for a family of 4 one week all inclusive

kanboo

Hi,

I just wondered if anyone could suggest how much spending money I am likely to need to take for a weeks all inclusive holiday for a family of 2 adults, and 2 children aged 9 & 6, in Fuertaventura.

It's the first time we've been abroad since having the children and I have absolutely no idea how much to take.
As it's our first time away we are not planning many trips or excursions, just fancy a lazy week relaxing by the pool or on the beach, well as much relaxing as you can do with children.

Thanks for reading

I was there 2 years ago All inclusive for 2 weeks (2 adults and a 6 yr old and 1 yr old). We took £600 and came back with £200 and that was a trip to the Zoo and a couple of other excursions.

It all depends on the food and drink at the hotel - ours wasn't brilliant every day but we always found something to eat so decided against eating out.

It may have changed since but there was plenty of restuarant vieing for business so you could easily get a family meal for around £30-£40 for 4

Hope you have a good time (ps take something to keep warm at night - it was over 40c during the day when I was there but it cooled down quickly at night with the sea breeze!)

Last year's Ai for three adults came to the grand sum of £28 .
The hotel was so wonderful never ate outside. And as we have traveled there before , no souvenirs.

For me and my son AI I usually spend abt a £100 for a week, with one trip to waterpark, if not then I come home with change!

We were also there 2 years ago, 10 days AI and we didn't really spend much at all.... main expense was that we hired a car for day to tour the island to see the beaches in the south and the sand dunes in the north. Other than that a few euros for the kiddies souveniers at a local market and food & drinks at the airport (we had several hours delay due to the volcanic ash cloud).

We made the most of the facilities on site... my advice is to find out exactly what is included, we sussed it all out early on but many other families we met didnt realize that there was a quieter pool with a snack bar doing hot dogs, chips, drinks etc in between the main meal times, which was great for the kids who like to snack and can't hold out too late for dinner. We also figured out a few days in that you could get cocktails at the main bar aswell as the regualr beer, wine etc, and they also did virgin cocktails for the kids.... my girls loved their big pink mocktails!

Have a great time, we loved it there.
