My parents confirmed to us over Xmas that they would like to take us all away in the summer for my 40th and DF’s 70th.
I did ask about this on here when they originally mooted and had a few answers but none quite right.
We’re trying to find a 4 or 5* (big birthdays and not been abroad since pre cov so would like it to feel special) family friendly resort that has the hotel and children’s entertainment amenities of a hotel but which has apartment or villa style accommodation, so with a kitchen separate bedrooms, outdoor seating area.
I cannot cope with having to do a hotel breakfast, lunch and dinner with the DC or have them sleeping in the same room as us, that would not be a holiday. It would also be nice to put them to bed at a sensible time some nights and have somewhere which the grown ups could convene and relax.
Previously we’ve done villas/air bnb which were perfect but DC need the company of other children and options for activities now. We did a cottage break in the summer and they were just bored.
I’ve had a look at few places and the properties aren’t quite right or there’s nothing much for miles around - these is a deal breaker for DM.
As long as it’s warm in late May early June and is a single flight from UK and safe for kids we’re all pretty open on destination.
