Recommendations for all-inclusive holiday for me and my 10yo daughter

[damzel]

Would like to find an all-inclusive resort holiday for myself and my 10yo daughter. Need a good playground with lots of variety, and child friendly entertainment in the evening. Kids club would be good too.

Anyone been to somewhere like that? Somewhere with sunshine!

Hi

I went on 2 all inclusive holidays for the last 2 years with my friend and all of our kids and stayed in 2 brilliant places. One was called Club Cala Barca in Majorca and the other was the Serita Beach hotel in Crete. The kids (some younger and 2 the same age as your daughter) had the most brilliant time at both. The entertainment in the evening was particularly good in the Crete one with adults and kids both loving it - and a creperie which was one early morning until 1am which meant no one ever went hungry even when the restaurants closed. Great staff and kids clubs too if they want to go and 2/3 big pools with stuff going on in the day of you wanted to join in and the kids also made friends too. I hope you find something you love.

Sad not to be going on an all inclusive this year as it completely negates the need for any food planning, dish washer emptying and you know in advance that everything is paid for up front. Not the most cultural of holidays but if you want a relaxing holiday then they are great.

Fantastic KatieJ, exactly the kind of recommendation I was looking for. Will check them both out :) I've never been on an all-inclusive before and not sure if it is cost effective for just the two of us, but I figure it will make things easier and give my daughter more freedom too.

If I remember 'kids go free' on some websites - but I suspect that might just mean that the adult price is bumped up. We are going self catering this year and I have a feeling that an all inclusive holiday would have ended up being a similar price and w whole lot less work. The majorca one was booked though expedia and the other one love holidays or on the beach - prices do vary a bit though so it pays to do your research. Feel free to PM me and good luck

Also lots of people tall about H10 Lanzerote Gardens as a great one to go to as well.

There are a couple of All Inclusive options in Marrakech with water parks - not too sure about evening entertainment. British Airways always feature Club Kenzi which gets good reviews - I've yet to try it though but Marrakech is a great place to explore. I went there in the Feb half-term and did lots of solo travel around town whilst my daughter was in the kids club.
