Planning a holiday in July with our 4 year old daughter and my then 6 month bump.

We have been looking for AGES and no luck - can anyone help??

I'm easy - would be v. happy with a cheap-ish package holiday but husband wants something a bit nicer/posher


Ideally:-


France/Spain/Italy/Portugal - but other short flight options fine too

Nowhere where we need to hire a car - but a taxi from the airport is fine

Small but nice resort with a couple of pools and maybe a few other families around for kids to play together (we're not in English school hols - for the last time...)

Beach walking distance - and a few restaurants/cafes etc

Don't want a villa on our own


Everywhere seems to be very expensive Mark Warner type places or big high rise resorts.

Is there an in between out there??


Any advice gratefully received.


Thanks!

I quite like some of the properties on here and they seem v helpful - http://totstotravel.co.uk/

Or some of the hotels in greece or the villas with kids clubs here are lovely - http://www.simpsontravel.com/luxury-family-holidays

As mentioned before on here Mallorca def fits your bill and somewhere like Puerto Pollensa is very doable without a car - an apart hotel or something there might be more affordable?

Pefki Islands resort in rhodes is lovely. Its close enough to restaurants but not too close its noisey. Has two pools plus kids one and you can also walk less than a minute to use the pool and facilities in linda thasalia resort which is run by same people. Place is very clean and staff so friendly. They also have kids club and entertainment of an wevening. Have a look on trip advisor for reviews and also thomson website

http://www.sultanpalasdalyan.co.uk we have been here twice, first with bump then with 6 mo it is run by a British man and his wife, lovely quiet area, everything is by boat, they collect you at the airport, breakfast and evening meal (Turkish food) inc pool, regular boats into town and another thought the reed beds to the beach, lots of trips available, nice little shops/caf?s/market in the town. We did a fab trip upriver to the lake were we swam, it was great.


It isn't walking distance to the beach but it has so much to offer.

    • Well I don’t approve for a shop doing the same food to open so near - just wrong in my opinion. Why not go to the village, Peckham - foot fall would be great in Peckham and certainly more multi  cultural than ED. Village has money but doubt foot fall would be as good as ED.  At least they could have gone to the stretch leading up to Peckham Rye or why not bottom of Barry Road?? Or even North Cross Road I for one, on principal won’t be going in.
    • Heh yeah haven't even bothered to remove the emdash. The OP is AI slop as well.
    • The street directory is on Ancestry and you'll need a subscription to access.  It's reasonably easy to navigate though you have to find the page you're looking for by a combination of trial and error/guesswork.  https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/61265/images/47056_263021009499_1592-00159?usePUB=true&_phsrc=Soz1793 There is though also a general search page for London directories where the street name can be entered in the keyword field and results will take you to the specific pages. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/61265/
