coachkelly Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I'm sorry this is not really related to Dulwich, but I wondered if anyone could give me some advice? I want to book a holiday for myself and my twin sons who are 15. Everywhere I look is pretty expensive as they seem to charge 15 year olds as adults, so would it be wise to hang on and book a late deal? Do these really work out much cheaper? I'm thinking of going at the beginning of july. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3294-taking-teenagers-on-holiday/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asset Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Foreign holiday? Package holiday?Personally I would not book a package, get a flight only and sort out accomodation separately.

coachkelly Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 Yes I'm looking at a foreign holiday. I've been trying websites such as travelsupermarket.com but they don't seem to be much cheaper. Any tips? I'm looking at the Med, maybe Sicily.

CamberwellOz Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Although we have got great 'package' deals with Thompson before. I have used them to go snow boarding and on a few summer holidays.

Cassius Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Leave them at home - I found being left when my parents went on holiday very character building - I learnt to cook, to remove spiders from shower without being scared etc etc etc. Hopefully they won't mess the place up and the women in their later lives will thank you.edited for typo Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3294-taking-teenagers-on-holiday/#findComment-102943 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamberwellOz Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 We stayed here in Sorrento and it was cheap and you could also do an eat in option. Hmmm now you have just got me thinking about holidays again. Didn't someone have a cheap chalet in Austria on here the other day?

CamberwellOz Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I have been a few times and I loved it. The food is fantastic and you can catch a local bus down the Almalfi coast for less than two quid. Brilliant. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3294-taking-teenagers-on-holiday/#findComment-103375 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilolil Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 We are taking two 15 year olds to Cuba, a bit further afield I know. BUT where we are going is 24 hr all inclusive which includes all boat rides and activities. 24hr food and drinks so they wont be tapping me every 5 mins! PLUS It comes highly recommended as being safe for teens.For four of us it is costing ?3600 which I think is very good value for money.We booked with Thomas Cook on 0800 072 6055.If you stay in Sol Cayo Coco the childs age limit is 16 ( I didnt see that until I had booked mine grr).We are staying at Brisas Guardalavaca. One of my friend's goes there about 3 x a year so we know it's ok.Check out www.tripadvisor.co.uk Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3294-taking-teenagers-on-holiday/#findComment-103393 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerry Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 We took four boys - ages 15-17 - to the Algarve for a week and they loved it. Great hotel (booked the day before we left), lots of night life, safe for the boys to go out wandering, very English pubs and clubs, great beaches. Look for anything near the beach in Algarve and it should be inexpensive and easy to find. have fun!! Fly into Faro airport, coach from there to the hotel. Go for a package so that breakfast is included (if they wake up for it!!)
