Can anyone recommend a very relaxing holiday break, preferably abroad, with a 20 month old toddler who loves being in the pool?

I'm looking for somewhere with a baby club or fantastic creche.........

I'd love a few hours off each day, just to be alone and to revive my knackered self!

I'd appreciate any advice........

thanks x

We are off here in July, booked after reading mumsnet reviews, have already recommended it to two lots of friends who have had their holidays there already! Both families loved it and are planning return trips. I cannot wait!

We went to Thomson's family resort last year, there's a cr?che and the staff there have UK accreditation. There's also evening entertainment evening and my son who was around 20 months old loved it, especially Thomson the dog. We are going to another family resort this year! The resort we went to was in Majorca. With lots of water slides for kids. Would recommend!

That country kids place in France says prices 'start from' 8850 euro a week for a family of 4!!!! (yes I realise it's all inclusive but still!)


We stayed here a few years ago in one of the suites and it was lovely.

Only one bedroom but the living room has sofa beds (and both living room and bedroom open onto the terrace) - if your 20 mo is still in a cot then they have really long curtains with blackout lining that isn't attached to the main bit of the curtain - we had a 14 mo at the time and she slept in her travel cot next to the window with the blackout bit between the window and her cot and the other part of the curtain draped over the cot to make a kind of tent so she was in our bedroom but we could still have the lights on etc when she was asleep.


The suites are in groups of 4 around the grounds so doesn't feel at all claustrophobic as I find lots of hotels do. Also means you can sit on the terrace and children can bumble around on the lawn in front of you.

Beautiful views of the mountains too.

They have a lovely pool and also an indoor pool in case weather bad.

We didn't use the kids club but had a look at it - is one separate baby room and one for older children - both looked brand new when we were there in 2012 and all the staff were really friendly. There is also a lovely little playground and splash park.

Hotel is very popular with cyclists which meant (at least when we were there in May) that it was really empty during the day and pool almost deserted until about 4pm as everyone was off cycling around the island! Also meant that the buffet had loads of healthy options as well as more junky stuff.


Only downside was that it was about 2 miles outside POllensa so quite a long walk or a drive to get into town - this didn't bother us but I know would not suit everyone.

    • It seems to me that possibly some people got dogs during Covid but knew nothing about dogs (and still don't know much) and other people see them as some sort of fashion accessory and mostly just ignore them. I love dogs, but knowing the time, expense and commitment that goes into having, exercising  and properly training one,  I don't have one myself. I just say hello to other people's.
    • If having been bitten has left you fearful of dogs, I’m sorry to hear that.  You can report an attack, the owner is held liable ( Animals Act).  I’d take photos of them and call the police.
    • Shop is still open. It's a very good barber shop, my adult and child sons have been using them since they opened. Perhaps pop in or spread the word and support a small business that may be struggling hence being quiet rather than accuse them of being a front for something dodgy!   
    • Yep, it's not all dog owners (and some of my best friends are.. etc etc)   But there is no way of knowing when you leave your front door - how are the good and who are the bad dog owners and how will that play out arbitrarily as I go about my day
