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.

    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.
