I love bognor butlins we stay in the hotel, I love the entertainment, price covers everything.
Dh not a fan he wants somewhere less hectic near a nice beach. (He’s also a snob).
He loves centreparc holidays but whilst the setting was lovely- i thought it was super boring no entertainment, the activities prices were £££.
Is there something that would suit us both nice setting, entertainment, nice beach the only drawback I hate caravans. A lodge or hotel is preferred.
Is this basically impossible? Looking to book for summer next year :)

Haven is very much what you make of it imo. Kids love it. Lots of cheesy entertainment and stuff to do (normally).

I’m not considering anywhere like a holiday park this year

I love a Butlins holiday had the best holidays as a kid there, have done haven and Park Dean since having the kids. I don’t do caravans either we find lodges on parks or this year we looking at air bnbs which means we could get away without the kids being upset they can’t use the facilities on park sites

Center Parcs holds no interest to me I don’t see how it’s value for money

How did you find the lodges at havan @figgygal?

This will be a holiday for next year just looking to book a couple of holidays for next summer something to look forward to.

Ladram Bay in South Devon is lovely - has a pool and own beach and there is entertainment in the evening if you want it.

I love Center parcs as there isn’t entertainment there. I dont do bingo nor cabaret/copy acts.

I love sitting on the patio with wine and a book.

We always go with Haven. Parks & caravans lovely and clean, good entertainment, not too pricey and nice locations.

I came on to recommend Butlins but then saw your first post. I would consider eurocamp style stuff then - it’s no more expensive than centre parks.
