Just wondered if anyone has a recommendation for a family friendly Greek hotel for a June holiday? We are a family of 4 including a 1 year old and 4 year old and looking for a hotel/resort near a beach and preferably near a town with a kids club and one or two bedroomed suites...

I have heard of Sani & Elounda which look good - any other recommendations?

Thanks!

If you'd consider Crete rather than mainland Greece then this hotel not far from Chania (regular flights) was amazing for kids and adults....

The food was excellent (esp breakfast) and reasonably priced as it's all extra. Private beach. Smart rooms. Short bus ride from small city.

We went to Sani as our pre-baby last holiday not realising how popular with families it was! But it was lovely and we will definitely go back when our little one is older. Very child friendly. There is a "dine around" option so you can eat in any of the restaurants at the 4 hotels for a good variety. There is a beach club and all the hotels are near the beach. The only thing I don't know is whether it's near a town or not. Certainly not in walking distance I don't think (although I could be wrong, we didn't look into walking far as I was 5 months pregnant!).
We are going away with Nielsen holidays to lemnos in Greece as they have really great child care and babysitting evenings too . They also have an under 2 cr?che which seems to be quite rare and it's walking distance to a town. If you quote mums net they give a nice discount too as do mark warner .

Hi Lou, I've been to Domes and Sani's on my list for future hols. Domes is way smaller, so less facilities / dining options / more intimate boutique feel. Sani is a big, big resort, but Porto Sani Village looks pretty tastefully done. At Domes most rooms have their own pool which isn't the case at PSV I don't think. Both pretty similar transfer times. I guess I would say scale is the key differentiator. Hope this helps!

I came onto this thread to recommend Ammos hotel in Crete and see someone beat me to it!


We had a fabulous two week holiday there a couple of years ago. The rooms were lovely, I thought the whole place was excellent value for money, and Chania was surprisingly pretty and cultured when we ventured in.


We went with 2 year old twins so it was important to me for a holiday to be as little stress as possible - it's only 1/2 hour cab journey from the airport and the hotel is right on the beach, so you really could chill out.

Pefki Islands Resort in Pefkos is a lovely place for families. Its very clean, staff very friendly, they have two swimming pools plus a baby one. you can also use the swimming pools and the facilities in the adjoining complex (less than a minute walk). They have kids club as well, plenty of entertainment. have a look on Thomas cook's website for photos etc

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
