Where would you go?

i think a cruise is a good idea,
have you considered cuba?

kit

no, not considered Cuba .... off to search now

Riviera Maya, Mexico. Wonderful beaches. Great food and plenty to do and see!!

Conrad

If you want other wordly, berst place we've been is Palwan in the Philippines. We stayed in luxury huts on stilts. Bit adventurous though!

Cuba I did not rate at all. Not magical.

Depends what you want.

We'd love to go to The Seychelles or British Virgin Islands most of all. Next would be Malaysia - but never the big well known resorts. For your budget you could stay at the Andaman hotel on the island of Llangkawi, Malaysia.

Here;








My children love nature, jumping off cliffs, snorkelling, midnight swims, but lovely food and great accomodation but do not know what you / your Daughter like.

Florida is deffo not for us.

Other place we absolutely love is KAS in Turkey. Much more magical that the big built up parts such as Bodrum or Fethiye.

Kas is an old harour village. Lots of restaurants. Again we like good food, and the food we find great here, plus lots to do although again for us very much the great outdoors as opposed to wandering round a cheese factory.

KAS TOWN




We stay in villas on this peninsular just outside town



You can eat in town or on the peninsular in places like this




Typical villa view






ANOTHER IDEA;

A family resort in Turks and Caicos - would have the right blend of magic / castaway but good for kids;

Kenya - bit of safari and bit of beach; organise it yourself, someone else is paying so where's the stress?

I second this - if your daughter liked Disney, she'll be equally wowed by this. You'll have a fun time too!

I'm also tempted to say Vegas, there's lots for children to do but you won't necessarily want to spend your nights in or leave DD with a sitter, maybe it would be a better option for 2.

Another vote for Cuba - something for everyone there.

Kenya was wonderful too, but there might be an age limit for the safaris. Wehn we were looking for most of them you had to be 12.

Another one worth a thought may well be Jamaica, find somewhere with a kids club so you can get some time on your own too.

Looks lovely, do you have links to the villas? We were also looking at Kalkan have you been there?

I know someone who stayed in some lovely looking beach huts in Cebu, can't remember what they were called though.

I had a beach bungalow in Thailand this summer, it was a bit basic but had a fab view and no Brits around.

Or how about Argentina and Uruguay? Or the north eastern Brazilian coast?

We stayed in a beach hut in Cherating, Malaysia (on the east coast in the middle). Very basic, even for us! We moved to the hotel next door after a couple of nights :rotfl:
