Advice needed. Holiday abroad for family of 5

Narla

Advice is needed please for a friend who is looking to book a holiday during school summer holidays next year. She said with her OH and 3 children aged 7 - 11 years its really difficult to get a hotel. She would like all inclusive anywhere abroad.

If anyone has experience of somewhere all inclusive where children this age have enjoyed please let me know.

Many thanks,

Narla

we took our 10 year old grandson to bali hotel all inclusive, benalmadena, costa del sol last august he had the time of his life.
we upgraded to family room but the upgrade rooms are actually the self catering apartments so should accomomadate your friends family,
evening entertainment was good in my opinion.
he enjoyed the kids club
food wise i have stayed better but we didnt starve (to be fair we usually stay at 4*or 5* hotels the bali is 3*)
at the end of the day i accept when it comes to all inclusive you get what you pay for and the bali is reasonable for what we paid.
but benelmadena and surrounding areas there is plenty to amuse children.
we went to gibralter/fuengerola the zoo/ went to marbella/ puerto banus/
also benelmadena itself has a marina with sea life centre there/ cable car up the mountain/parque de la paloma.
lots to do

We are just back from Hotel Villamarina Club in Salou with our three kids and they all had a ball. Larger families can stay in the large self catering apartments two minutes walk away with two bedrooms a/c enormous balcony etc, sleeps 4 - 6 but still have all the benefits of All Inclusive at the Hotel, another bonus being they are much quieter and you have another pool which you can often have to yourself. The food was really good, kids club on 11-4 and 8:30-11:00pm. There was also rifle shooting, pool and darts comps and more for adults and older teenagers to take part in during the day to make friends. Best bit being the adults only rooftop terrace for peace and quiet. You can book direct with them and they offer free pick up and return from Reus or Barcelona airports.

Just returned from San Miguel Hotel in Puerto San Miguel Ibiza for our 5th year running. Every year I say it will be my last as I always vowed never to go back to the same place but my daughter loves it so much there and to be honest so do we. many families we know there have returned for 8+ years. Larger rooms for up to 6 people can only be booked direct with the hotel. Check it out on Thomson site and if you want to get a quote I can send you the e mail address.
