First family holiday with our 2yo dd 1 week away in a fairly chilled part of Spain. Husband booked it. Hotel not child friendly we are self catering in a bedroom.. No lounge area no kitchenette not even a kettle!

No evening entertainment or other guests in the hotel. Majority of tourists are German so feeling a bit isolated. Getting dirty looks from locals if we dare go for a quiet drink in one of the local pubs or bars so each night we are stuck on the balcony while we wait for dd to fall asleep.. also its unusually cold here at the moment had a bit of nice weather but it's very windy. I know I should be grateful to go on holiday but there's no fun to be had here it sucks and ita BORING!! early flight home will coat in excess of £300 so not really an option got 3 days left and I'm feeling thoroughly miserable... any advice. Please be gentle I've had a rough few days dd is playing up and being sugar nearly every where we go oh and she's frightened of the sand. All there is to do is walk up and down the same strip of shops and bars day after day can't even find a boat trip or anything.

We went on a family holiday to Spain, very small apartment with pool. The house next door was having building work done, so constant jackhammering, banging, machinery etc. Thought it couldn't get worse except they knocked the separating wall down and these 2 huge ass rottweilers ran into our complex. We all had to jump in the pool and cling to inflatables whilst screaming for the owners to come and collect them. They put up a flimsy fence but we were constantly in fear that the dogs would get back through so we had to make sure someone was within touching distance of the kids at all times. That was a disaster holiday.
