Holiday help!!! where to go?

Hi I need help on a nice family holiday, we have 3 kids 2-Girls 10 and 7 and a boy 3. our first holiday was last year and we saved all our money to go to America. Now we would like a nice quiet relaxing holiday that will be good for the kids, somewhere quiet and warm we are thinking about going in April/May. Any suggestions would be great.

    You are going to get a different answer from everyone who replies.

    What country or countries do you WANT to go to?

    how much do you want to pay?

    Do you want culture ? all/inc, S/C,, the list goes on.


    The canaries can be as quiet or as loud as you want them to be, only 4 hours flying and good weather all year round..about 80 in april/may

    Agree about Canaries. Southern Spain and Balearics can get bad weather in April, but it should be better towards mid/end May.

    We went to Menorca in early June - great weather and very relaxing, but I'd avoid Cala n Bosch (although other sites say it's the place to go - we drove round, saw the Union Flags on balconies, British pub and curry house and left PDQ).

    Algarve is also worth a look at.
  • Turkey would be nice in May. The Turks are very good with kids. You could undoubtely find somewhere quiet there and it's not expensive to eat.....
    :wave:
  • Thanks everyone

    I have taken your advise and also contacted a lady called sharon at the travel counsellors ... she is going to find me a great deal at one of the places suggested .... thanks again x:T
