    How about Costa Blanca, Spain ? I know alot of people that go there with their kids (of all ages) and it's great fun :)

    We usually stay just outside of Torrevieja ( https://www.alicante-spain.com/torrevieja.html ) as my In-Laws own a house there :) and it's lovely.

  • Hi We have just come back from the Espirides Beach Hotel in Greece. It is smack back between Rhodes and Falaraki. Buses run every ten mins both ways. Hotel is 4 star plus and all inclusive. It has food all day from 6am to 12am and four pools and five bar areas. The beach is at the end of the gardens. Lovely hotel. I booked this year two weeks in aug for me, hubby, one of 11 and one of 5 and cost 2.200 with portland.
    :rolleyes: Money Talks ...
    but all mine ever says is Goodbye! :rolleyes:

    My personal faves where I have taken kids would be Lloret de mar in costa brava, alcudia, majorca (great pirate show in Magaluf)or Menorca (good for young kids).

    Oh, also Gran Canaria, trips to waterparks, palmitos park, wild west town and medieval night - Yeah would have to be the favourite, our kids loved it all.

    How old are the kids?
    We went to Cuba this year with the Holiday Place. All inclusive, from Gatwick and loads of entertainment for all ages cost us £2400 for family of 4. My kids are 14 and 11.
    Once there everything is really cheap if you are outwith the hotel. We went on a catamaran trip where we snorkelled at a coral reef, free bar, lobster lunch then swimming with dolphins. Cost about £50 per adult and £35 per child.
  • Fiesta club Don toni, playa den bossa Ibiza. Fantastic for the kids. You upgrade to all inclusive when you get there.

    Went this year and have booked again for next year. So much going on for the kids all day. Football, rifle shooting, pool comps, darts, water polo, and more.

    still can't work out if it cheaper to book now or wait and book last minute?
  • We went to the Bahia Principie in Tenerife last Christmas with our 4 year old and fell in love with the place so take a look however it might be towards the top of your budget.
