Is it actually possible to book a LARGE apartment at an aparthotel or complex?

We are struggling when looking to find something for our holiday this year. We would like to go self catering so an apartment is perfect However as we are taking our grandma with us and some kids we are looking for an apartment hotel type thing. Where we can book a large apartment but have the luxury of there being entertainment, wifi, pool etc on site.

Does anybody have any ideas of such a place where we can have evening entertainment but in an apartment as opposed to a hotel. It would be a large apartment we required. Also, close to the beach would be good.

Thanks all

    these are fairly easy to find - start off on trivago, or travelrepublic - for number of guests pick 5 adults or more, this will then more than likely bring up 2-bedroom options or larger, and then you can book what you like the look of :).

    Start searching Thomson and Thomas Cook websites, but if you want a three bedroomed apartment put in 8 people, 2 in each bedroom and 2 on the sofa bed in the living area, this should then find the larger apartments.
    Then look at the reviews of the place on tripadvisor and booking.com

    Pierre & Vacances in Estepona, Spain is as you describe. We stayed there about 12 years ago so it may have changed.

    Also look at Olympic Holiidays.

    We stay in great aparthotel in Corfu and there are plenty such places around on the island. The main problem with your requirements is entertainment, apartments take up a lot more room so places tend to host a smaller number of guests. Doesn't make it economic to lay on much entertainment onsite.

    Depends on what you call entertainment too, being near bars and restaurants with some live local music isn't so difficult. Wouldn't know about much more as I I avoid places with 'entertainment'

    Lots of options in Florida for 3/4 bedroom apartments within a 'hotel' resort complex.
