Holiday idea - have a list of ideas but can't find a hotel that does them all

I'm looking for somewhere for a 5 or so nights in the south on England, not too expensive. My family have created a list of they would like (they didn't give me the list in a selfish way, I asked them what would their ideal holiday have)...

It needs to have; an indoor pool, outdoor pool where they can use lilos, evening entertainment for tween/teen ages, things to do near by, a sandy beach in walking distance and places to eat. Water slides would be a bonus!

I can see many places with a few of these things, but I wondered if there was something out there that someone know of which hits them all.
I wasn't looking at caravan parks as we did one a few years ago and while it was lovely, I feel they cater for the younger age group.
Thank you

TLH leisure hotels in Torquay have indoor and outdoor pools. Family used to go there many years ago so no up to date review

Have a look at the Bournemouth/ Poole area.

You have splashdown leisure park nearby which covers the pool bit and lots of their hotels have pools too. Sandy beach nearby.

To be honest a holiday park is more likely to fulfill those criteria. I took teens to park holidays a few times for work and they loved it, admittedly with a dozen youngsters they made their own fun to a certain extent. They loved the cheesy disco etc and sports facilities were always decent. Parks vary so not all have indoor and outdoor pools but some do.

Thanks all. I'll look into these ideas. I guess holiday parks are hit or miss, the one I have in my head only had entertainment for young children so it's worth looking around.
Didn't think of looking at water parks in the area good idea.

We were there just pre-Covid so relatively recently and it was really nice for the family. Bit younger than teens so they loved the games room and the indoor pool. I think there was "entertainment" but we avoided that.
Beach about ten mins walk and loads to do in the area.
