    Which hotel is it, because unfortunately a lot of hotels in Magaluf arent suitable for families, or even if they are you always get the youngsters staying in them as well because its Magaluf. Why did you pick Magaluf and how old are your children.

    Why do people always blame the travel company for their own lack of research?
    Magaluf is where singles/stags and hens go, and people after a good party time.

    If you had a separate bedroom for a child in a hotel you would more than likely have to pay for 2 rooms, why would you put a toddler in a different room?

    Err maybe you'd like a bit of privacy on holiday. People go on about holidays being for sun sea and sex but not likely with a kid in the bedroom

    Fair enough, then you will have to pay for 2 connecting hotel rooms or get an apartment.

    Whyever not?

    My son would sleep through a war!!!

    I have a number of friends who still co-sleep with their 2 year olds and manage nookie without problems. No way on earth would I be putting my 25 month old in a separate room.

    So your toddler sleeps in the same room as you at home? Maybe but come on, most don't at that age and why should it be any different on holiday? Especially when you can keep the bedroom door open and so they have free passage into your room and vice versa.

    Probably about 40-50% of the time he's in our bed, never mind our room!!

    Just had a weekend away and he was in our room the whole time (in our bed mostly).

    If you want a second honeymoon, leave your kids behind. If you want a family holiday, perhaps lower your expectations of wild sex. Not that hard, is it?

    LOL wouldnt work ifg the kids are older and hotels still like to bung 13 year olds in with parents,

    My lot as toddlers always sounded like farmyard animals in the night so would rather not share a room wuith them#

    Pity that many hotels dont actually provide family suites. Ive ended up in apartments as was almost impossible to book a second room for a 15 and 13 year old to share- and while people might get away with nookie with a 2 year old I doubt a couple of teenagers would be so easy lol
