Like littlereddevil, my first thoughts were Turkey too as it would fit in with what you are looking for.
Marmaris is a pretty big resort with loads and loads of great restaurants and bars, it is a really big resort with plenty of english food on offer if you want it. For me Marmaris is too big so I'd also suggest looking at Icmeler which is right next door (about 15mins on the bus) and also has a great range of bars etc. My only negative for Marmaris / Icmeler is that the beach is nowhere like P.D.Ingles and is quite narrow and shingle. So other suggestions would be Hisaronu / Fethiye in Marmaris, as they again have a good choice of bars and restaurants and are also really close (10min bus) to Olu Deniz which has a fantastic beach. You can stay in Olu if you wish but it's a bit more chilled out.
If you want to go in April your choices will be more limited as the weather in most places, other than the canaries will be hit and miss. If you go in April I'd look at Puerto del Carmen or Playa Blanca in Lanzarote or maybe Corallejo in Fuerteventura.
If you go in July the options are much wider. Apart from Turkey I would also suggest:
Majorca - definitely a great choice for beaches and fits the bill with bars, restaurant etc too. Look at Palma Nova, Alcudia or Santa Ponsa.
Costa Dorada - Salou / La Pineda are good resorts with plenty going on, nice beaches etc and are also only an hour by bus / train from Barcelona. When we went we booked a one night stay in Barcelona and visited there at the same time. The PortAventura theme park is also in this area and a good day out whatever your age!
Corfu - Sidari has a great beach and plenty of bars and restaurants too, Corfu itself is great with loads to see and do. Jeep Safaris, boat trips, Corfu Town, winery tours etc.
Take a look at those and see if they float your boat and if not I could always suggest more!Lea
