All inclusive holiday

I feel like I’ve exhausted my search and I’m being incredibly fussy. Can anyone recommend any decent all inclusive holidays in Europe for the summer? Ideally with a separate bedroom instead of one big room. Somewhere where I don’t need to fight for sun beds preferably! Thanks.

Just for two?

Merinocool · 08/05/2019 12:37

It will be 4 of us, kids are pretty easy going though, neither of them like kids clubs both play in the pool pretty much constantly. The youngest likes a good mini disco.

Antalya, Turkey has some really good all inclusive with most hotels having a waterpark and funfairs and family rooms have 2 rooms.

Hotel la Rocca in Sardinia is beautiful.

Antlantica in Kolymbia Rhodes. Lovely and they have a separate jazzed up building with suites.

Merinocool · 08/05/2019 13:04

My husband won’t go to Turkey. He doesn’t fancy it and I don’t think I would be able to change his mind.

Ooooh that Sardinia one is beautiful but it’s 14k for half board which is over our budget unfortunately

The one in Rhodes is fully booked but lovely so will save it to look at for next year.

There seems to be loads of Zafiro Hotels when I look, in Majorca & Menorca. Has anyone stayed in those? Looks like they have a lot for kids but I’m worried that will make them super busy. Or Mar hotel in Menorca?

Tunisia?

TipseyTorvey · 08/05/2019 14:42

Zafiro menorca is pretty good. Not perfect but restaurant is good and clean. Pool not overly busy. Mini disco good fun and staff all lovely. Grown up entertainment not my thing but balcony with drinks whilst kids watched telly was perfect. There's also a lovely town nearby and a pretty beach. Would recommend.

Lopesan baobab Gran Canaria. Beautiful hotel, lots of pools, close to lots of lovely restaurants if you do fancy eating out at some point. Walking distance to white sandy beach.

Harrison376 · 08/05/2019 15:11

We went during school holidays and didn’t have to fight for a sunbed or que for anything.

We're going to a resort in Ibiza, four stars, and it is right next to a water park. After years of Eurocamp, I am really looking forward to having meals made for me! We're staying in a two bed apartment in a resort.

QueenArseClangers · 08/05/2019 15:21

We stayed here and it was lovely.
Fairly small, a short walk from the beach and family run. The food was great, Greek salads, barbecued meat, peaches the size of a small football, olives and locally produced feta.
Greek dancing round the ancient olive tree and kids activities. The free raki and Turkish coffee post dinner was missed terribly when we went home Smile

QueenArseClangers · 08/05/2019 15:27

Here’s lovely too. www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g1028265-d1222470-Reviews-Mediterranean_Studios_Apartments-Kissamos_Chania_Prefecture_Crete.html

The main complaints are that it’s in the sticks.

Blue Lagoon VILLAGE (not resort) Kos

Merinocool · 08/05/2019 16:15

I really love the blue lagoon village but it’s 12k which is too much for us sadly. Will have a look at the others.

Good to know the one in Menorca is nice as we’ve never done Menorca before so were tempted to try it.

Really like the Gran Canaria one too but it’s also fully booked.

we are going to Palia De Rocha hotel in Benalmedana Spain in august all inclusive two adults, £2000 for two weeks for two adults for everything including hotel flights baggage transfers insurance, gets good reveiws on trip advisor, near the beach and Benalmedana is a lively resort with plenty to do found it on the beach website

feduuup · 08/05/2019 16:24

@Merinocool oh crikey I've never paid that much, I think we paid £3000 for a family of 4 with a free child space and it's coming up the same for next year, but we only go for the one room. I've heard great things about Sensatori resorts.

Merinocool · 08/05/2019 16:32

Is this the right one? We have a 15 year old which is clearly tipping the balance as it’s knocked us into 2 rooms in a lot of places.

Holiday village manar in Tunisia. We loved it.

feduuup · 08/05/2019 17:44

@Merinocool yes it is, that's a ridiculous amount, it's nice but not that nice!!!

Bloomburger · 08/05/2019 17:47

Bit further afield but Mauritius is great value even in kids holidays.

Mummyshark2018 · 08/05/2019 18:03

I've been to a few holiday villages- Menorca and Rhodes and going to Majorca soon. Great for kids. The men orca are 1 bed apartments and were very good sized. Check out first choice - I think tui might be the same company?

ValleyoftheHorses · 08/05/2019 18:07

Zafiro Menorca is nice, especially if you can get a privilege apartment with private garden/ sun beds.
We did 2 hours kids club 10-12 and pool/ beach the rest of the time.
We didn’t go AI as there are lots of nice restaurants around the Marina.

waltersdog · 08/05/2019 18:10

Look on ice lolly or on the beach. Last year we paid £1500 less for an identical holiday than a family who booked with Thomas Cook. We also had a better room Grin
