Family Holidays - Hotel recommendations

[Bdill93]

So with the little man still being under 2 next summer (therefore free to travel) myself and my wife want to get away abroad again!

Thing is, I've never looked to book a family holiday before. We are both massive foodies but do want to go all inclusive for the ease of everything. We have previously just done adult only places etc.

Only real criteria is good pools, decent cocktails on offer and decent enough food, so with that in mind - has anyone been anywhere recently that they would recommend?

That's funny. I was going to post this exact thing but for an 11 and 8 year old. Possibly with waterslides onsite or nearby.
Sorry for hijacking the thread ?.

We love this place, you can eat in any of the Jumeriah restaurants and they will make the wee one whatever they want.
We had an Indian one night and Harry had spaghetti bolognaise ??

Make the most of it, my son is in year 1 so we have the massive school holiday price hikes to deal with.

I work in a school mate so I'm limited to the holidays myself! Insane prices!

I am currently at Atlantis dubai, it probably best place to come if you have kids. It a place your kids will never get bored. I am sneaking off to the Peter Cowan academy for some lessons later in the week.

Looks insane to be fair

But also priced as such

Sueno deluxe in Belek, Turkey, brilliant for a family holiday with onsite water park

Butlins? ?

I would be looking Tui and Turkey. No nonsense, decent enough value and EASY.

Went here a few years ago with the family when the daughter was 4. Absolutely loved it. we stayed in the middle building of the three, one bonus was it was self serve for beers so no queuing at the bars and pint size plastic cups.
I would go back in a heart beat but other half prefers caribbean now. Done Barbados and Jamaica last 2 years and looking at Costa Rica / Antigua for next year

What’s your thoughts on the Caribbean with kids?

We did Dominican 3 years ago, which was ok, Barbados last year there wasnt as much for her to do but Jamaica this year was brilliant, there were plenty of games around the pool and kids club that she loved going to. She is 10 now for reference of age
