I know I'm looking really late, but I'm trying to book 2 bedroom holiday accommodation for August near a pool and beach. I would prefer a package this year as the flights are all so expensive by now. I'm not picky where we go but am thinking Spain, Portugal, Greece. We are 2 adults 2 small children. The problem is it appears every search engine assumes we will all sleep in the same room, or in a 1 bed apartment with me and husband on a sofa bed in the lounge... For over ?2k a week... Is it really so strange for me to want to sleep in a separate room from my kids? Surely there must be 2 bed apartments in the swathes of apartment blocks across the med? The only way I can get any 2 bed places to come up is by saying that we have 2 further kids, but then the price rockets to over ?4k as it's done per person. So frustrating. Rant over.

Maybe I am the only person whose idea of a holiday doesn't include sharing a room with the kids?!

I agree with you...need some space! I am going back here this year after a relaxing week with my then 3 year old last August.

It's not luxurious but we had a 2 bed spacious apartment(slightly dated but had everything we needed)which was very clean. They are individually owned so the d?cor varies....my sister has also been and had a 3 bed apartment with roof terrace.


There is a small children's pool next to the main pool, and just cross a footpath and you are on a large sandy beach. The resort is small and quiet so not much to do but you can get a local bus to Ciutadella with it's harbour or the capital Mahon. There is a nice promenade to walk on in the evenings and a couple of hotels with evening entertainment (mainly for children I think). We went self catering, there is a restaurant onsite which is ok, basic food but quite nicely done, and other nicer restaurants along the promenade.


Good luck with finding somewhere!

    • Both notoriously “lovely” people to spend any time with or worse, serve 
    • No, just no.  Zero tolerance does not mean we expect zero crime but that we do not accept a standard level as normal and unavoidable. For those who have suffered such “minor” crimes, myself included having had my house broken into,  it is clear from the lack of action that they are considered “acceptable”’. Once small crimes become known to be ignored, it changes where and how we live.     
    • Lloyd Weber and Cilla Black were supposed to leave when Blair got in, but didn't
    • You can't have zero tolerance unless you live in a fascist/police state.  Sadly it is something you have to accept in a democracy.  There has always been crime, even in North Korea, the Soviet bloc, Nazi Germany, Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge etc.   The discussion point is how big a police force we need and capabilities, punishment, and building communities.  And how much we are prepared to pay in extra taxation. Even in the good (economic) times there is crime.  And crime under both Labour and Tory governments. I do not accept that phone thefts and parcel thefts are just statistics.  Police have to prioritise what they do, we might not agree with it.  And most criminals are multi-tasking, moving to where the best return is considering the risk of being caught. And there has to be a market, someone somewhere needs to buy a stolen product (I never buy off Gumtree). A starting point would be to decriminalise all illegal drugs, but that is definitely for a separate Lounge conversation, interesting discussion paper here: https://kar.kent.ac.uk/105520/1/A. Stevens - In defence of the decriminalisation of drug possession in the uk - PPDF.pdf Did you watch any of the series of Peaky Blinders?  This was a very popular series that glorified gang crime and violence.  Funny (ironic) that may enjoy films and TV that does this.  Although only the first series had any historical accuracy in it,  Criminal gangs were around before and ever since.
