heated pools

hi,

i feel like im going round in circles .

we are looking to go on holiday for two weeks in the middle of october .

as the weather temperature starts to drop so does the temperature in the pools . now my youngest loves the pool , so have been tring to find a hotel that does at least one heated pool .

what ive noticed is that most hotel only start heating there pools in november or that its in the spa area which is over 18 only .

abit about what our family needs from a holiday
*we are a family of 2 adults and 2 children (9 , 14)
*location is not really that important as long as the weather is nice and it stays dry.
*rooms have to be either 2 bed apartment . or interconnecting rooms . ( would think about 1 bed apartment for the right hotel )
*there has to be some sort if entertainment for the children , via either clubs or water rides that sort of thing .
*all inclusive
*budget £3000

the last few years we have went to http://www.portaventura.co.uk/hotels/hotel-caribe which has a sandy pool which keeps its heat in october , so ive never had to think about tring to find a hotel with a heated pool .


has anyone any been to a hotel that would cover all my needs?

or any website that gives options for a heated pool ?


sorry if my post is abit long and mixed up , was tring to give the right amount of info when i thought of it .

thanks for any help and advice

    Pick a place where the air temperature doesn't drop and avoid half term peak demand travel days.

    IME - the kids very rapidly adjust to chilly pools
    Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
