Recommend me a lovely holiday resort

Feel like I have searched the whole internet but can't really find what I'm looking for. Holiday for me, DH & 2x DC, DD 10 & DS 12. DC are good kids, travel well, no issues.

Last year, we went to Kos, it was nice enough, but a bit, well, dull.

I'm looking for end August, 10 nights, hot, short ish flight, a brilliant pool/slides, as nice as possible accommodation, so a great place to stay, with great facilities. BUT near a 'resort centre' - so plenty of bars, shops, things to look at that we can walk to. I absolutely do not want anywhere 'quiet, small and friendly, away from it all.' Have enjoyed Majorca, Corralejo in Fuerteventura and Playa Blanca in Lanzarote before but looking to go somewhere new.

Budget around £4K. I'm actually not averse to somewhere that's a bit Brits abroad as such. I'm aware this this might be some people's idea of hell! Any ideas? Bonus points for specific accommodation/resort names.

Cala D’or Majorca
Nerja Costa Del Sol

@Zaragirl14

Nerja was brilliant until they started pumping raw sewage in to the water at Burriana. 🙄😡

To be honest given your description I would take them to Benidorm and stay central rather than in the very 'British' end of the resort- I'm not being sarcastic by the way- I'm a snob in many ways but for those with older children it has great beaches, tons to do, a fantastic water park, is reasonable, lots of life and some lovely days out using train etc if you want it.

We're going here:

costabotanica.grecotel.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpcjRqpadgAMVSgYGAB2y8QI5EAAYASAAEgIuBfD_BwE

It's got water slides, art classes and multiple water slides.

Cyprotel in Faleraki Rhodes.

It was my then-11-yeqr-old's favourite holiday. Amazing slides and three different pools with swim-up bar, close to the beach and Faleraki is the opposite of quiet 😁

Good choice! We’ve been to the resort next door which is run by the same people as Sanguli. Great pool and lots of activities. Kids everywhere so they’ll probably make some friends. Lots of places to visit nearby too - recommend a trip into Barcelona and also Port Aventura.

Not Burriana Beach in Nerja, they pump raw sewage into the water and I don’t mean miles out to sea, it is visible at the waters edge.
