snowboarder Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 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-holidaysAs 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?

pommie Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 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 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/43167-family-holiday-suggestions/#findComment-738750 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariamadeit Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 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.
