    are you meaning a package? if not villas seem to be cheaper round the javea,Denia, moraira area of costa blanca than other areas of spain. you can fly to either alicante or valencia airports. we first went to javea about 10 years ago and loved it so much we go every year now.

    I really like Cala'n Bosch in Menorca - great for young families - not too noisy but not too quiet either - great selection of bars and restaurants - a lot of them have play areas for kids. Most hotels do AI and S/C but to be honest I prefer S/C due to the amount of restaurants available. I am staying in a villa myself this year because when I went to book I struggled to get free child places and a villa worked out cheaper, but I believe this is the most popular hotel in the area

    There is a bar known as goody goody that my son went to every night last year - food, drink, entertainment and lots to do for the kids - trampolines, giant inflatables, pool, slides etc...
