Please help select a family holiday

Hi All,

I am a little bewildered with choices regarding a family holiday for the summer.

It is for 2 Adults and 2 boys aged 5 and 8.

I would like good quality, clean accomodation as well as facilities for the boys e.g swimming pools, slides, kids clubs etc.

I would also like the accomodation to be near (ideally within walking distance) of shops and restaurants for the evenings.

We can go anytime during the school hols and looking at a budget of approx £2k

The Siblu/Keycamp holiday camps have caught our attention - any particular ones in the Vendee area that fulfil the criteria above ?

Also, any hotel/resort suggestions further afield ?
Last year we stayed at the Rodos Palace Hotel in Ixia, Rhodes which the boys loved.

All help appreciated;)

  • We really like Menorca for our holidays - great for families
  • We have booked our French mobile home holidays through this site: http://www.leisuredirection.co.uk/

    I think they're resellers for some of the holiday companies. It saved us quite a bit of money.

    I've done a search for the first week in August, and including ferry/tunnel you could get a mobile home for a week for £600 upwards. A fortnight is about twice that.

    Ola Maioris hotel in Arenal Majorca. Stayed there last year, has everything you want and is ALL INCLUSIVE. Near Aqualand for a day out and under budget also.

    My 2 girls of 8 and 5 are still talking about it. Very very highly recommended by myself.

    Having nowe discussed this with the family, they have selected to go to a French camping site in teh Vendee region.

    Given the children's ages, can people recommend good quality camping sites in that region that have swimming pools and clean accomodation ?
