Hi all
I am hoping to pick a few brains here and gain just your suggestions on a summer holiday for my family and I. However, this year the setup is a little more complicated as you will see below. Maybe I am looking for the impossible? One positive is that money is not an option. It would be great if you peeps could respond to this post with your suggestions. I'm not being lazy and asking others to do the work for me. If you helpful lot can give us some suggestions then I will do the research myself.
Ok, here is where it starts becoming complicated.
Our family party consists of
Mum, Dad, 15 year old girl, 15 year old boy and Granny who just happens to be 82 years old. Therefore, these facts alone rule out a lot of holidays. If I list below some preferences and must haves that will probably restrict our choices.
Here goes...
Must be within 4 hours flight of U.K. (So that rules out USA, ASIA etc and now restricts us to Europe)
Must be hot (Spain, Greece, France, Italy etc, etc)
Must be in a busy beach resort with lots of bars, restaurants etc.
Would prefer the hotel/villa/complex to have activity programme such as pool games etc (for Mum, Dad & teens etc).
We can rule out Lanzarote because it is too hilly and we have been 5 times before.
Another positive (but not essential) is if the Hotel had evening entertainment (because granny sometimes prefers to stay in at night rather than walk around resorts etc)
Any suggestions please peeps?
Thanks in advance.

Did you mean money is no object, because "money is not an option" means you need to barter which is a bit restrictive.0

Apologies for the confusion. What I meant is... if the holiday is right for us we are not restricted to a limited budget.0

Sol Pelicanos Benidorm.
Santa Eulalia Ibiza.Posts are not advice and must not be relied upon.0 -
First Choice Splashworld resorts are an easy option, they all come with waterparks, usually with beach possibly always, always hot, most under 4 hour flight. Always entertainment programme. All inclusive so all food and drink onsite.
We went to Magic Natura via them and had lots of fun, has a waterpark, zoo, entertainment, all inclusive, excursions organised etc.
