Hi
I think the issue is the room will take 2 adults and 2 kids max and your kids are over the child age
There are other hotels with TUI available - 6 when i looked - that will take you all in one oom
As stated before I cant beat TUI on late deals so book direct
I did check T Cooks for other destinations but all full now
I have sent you a PM

I have stayed at UNICO though - it's amazing - I had a swim up room - so feel free to call me for tips
