Best holiday destinations for children, hotels etc.

mrsbutton

Hi,


I'm looking to take my son who's 6 on holiday abroad next year. I have no idea where to go but obviously somewhere good for kids, and safe.


He's in school but refuse to pay more for the school holiday's.
I've looked for a thread for this but can't find one, if there is one I apologize and would be grateful for the link.


Thank you!

Fly to Reus in Spain and stay at Salou. There's a water park Port Aventura and Ferrari Land nearby.

We really liked Puerto Pollensa in Majorca with our kids.

Malta highley recomended you get everything you would get in spain plus more like museums history nice towns attractions etc you do get the beaches cinemas mc donalds waterparks which the kids will like but mum and dad came along and they could do sightseeing visit museums castles old towns which you dont get in spain it's just beaches waterparks nightclubs bars etc so more to do and see and it's always nice and hot and I go every year just like it so mutch never likes spannish resorts

Have they knocked all the castles and old towns down in Spain? There were thousands the last time I went (start of August :-) )

Six year olds of my acquaintance are not much into museums. Plus depending on when you travel, Malta is terrifically hot in the summer months. Not much fun strolling around in the heat with a young child.

Tenerife or similar. Canaries are typically cooler than Mediterranean so more pleasant in mid-summer.

Plenty of family friendly resorts, accommodation choices to suit every pocket and style, water parks if you want them, and just generally a nice, safe feel.

Yes I know there there not been knocked down but there not in the tourist areas like Benidorm the costas Marbella etc where it's beaches clubs waterparks etc people who go there dont go there for museums castles old towns so I would never go to Benidorm but Malta has both thats why I go there because my brother likes clubs beaches bars etc my mum likes history old towns castles etc so we can all have a holiday we like

Sorry can't do a link but maybe you mean threads like 'School Holiday Fines ' which you'll find on the Marriage, Relationships and Families board. They tend to be all about parents justifying why they should take their children out of school.

This board will give you suggestions for where you might go.

The moral issue of whether your child should take more holiday on top of the existing 13 weeks is your decision to make.

Benidorm has an old town and there's the old town of nearby Altea.
Marbella has an old town.
