Would you pay 8K for this?

All inclusive for a week in Greece.

I have fallen in love with the place, love the muted tones.

But is any all inclusive holiday for 7 nights worth £8,000? For 2 adults and 2 DC

I spend around £3k and find the places I go are really nice. Would it really be worth the extra £5k?

I don't have that kind of money, anyway Grin but genuinely interested to see if that type of place is worth it when you can go someone very nice for 2-3K

Knew it would be Ikos before I even opened the link. They’re the in place to go on holiday at the moment. Very ‘Insta Worthy’ 😆 personally I’d be going 2 weeks in Maldives child free for 8k. I have family who spend over £5k just for two of them on the Ikos Aria. I think that’s extortionate.
They aren’t for kids at all, there’s one photo on that link with something child friendly for under 5’s but older kids will be bored. Yes there’s a pool but I bet no one actually goes in it. Maybe paddle their feet at the edge.
Turkey combines, huge, excellent hotels with loads for kids to do. Check out Lara Beach

I mean, there are loads of different holiday types that cater well to children. But Ikos is very child friendly. The majority of people there in the summer months are there with children. I have only ever been as part of large family holidays with kids from 0 to 14 and everyone has been super happy with the resorts.

@Iloveburgerswaymorethanishould please share the name of the place you're staying in Turkey!

Under no circumstances. There is no way any accommodation or food could be worth that to me, and the things I'd care about, location, views, I could still get but for much less. For that kind of money I'd want a more unique experience than two weeks on an AI complex in Greece. Even if I were a millionaire I'd rather pay a price I felt was worth it and donate the rest to a good cause.

I thought I had?! Sorry!! Grand yazici. Couldn’t recommend it more! Also the green nature (Diamond not resort) is stunning as well.

We stayed there, it’s very nice but the transfer from the airport is hard work. We only go to Lara Beach now as 20 minutes from Antalya airport and the hotels are amazing!
