To ask for suggestions for all-inclusive holiday?

[Themayorofshitterton]

I want to take DS10 and DS11 for an all-inclusive week somewhere with pools and football in the summer holidays. It will be their first non-camping or staying with family holiday and quite possibly their last.

I can't really afford it (gulp) but any recommendations that aren't super expensive?

Flying from SW England would be best, otherwise Heathrow or Gatwick.

Thanks MNers!

Have a look at Mitsis hotels, lovely Greek-owned all inc chain across the larger Greek islands. There is a lovely new one near Rhodes town, which itself is beautiful with a game of thrones style old town centre, massive castle and lovely little lanes!

Kefalonia is my absolute favourite Greek island, the people are amazing, the food is incredible and there's enough on the Island to keep everyone busy/happy. It is just perfection, plus the snorkelling and scuba diving is brilliant if they're confident swimmers.

Oh sorry that one is quite expensive - lots of the others are cheaper and do good deals, especially out of school hols. The Faliraki one is nice? Avoid the one in Kos, is horrible!

Club Letoonia in Turkey is great and you can fly out from Bristol.

pandarific I’ve stayed at the mitsis faliraki, it is nice but expensive! Not that geared towards kids either so probably not suitable.

OP if you look at the sun palace in faliraki (first choice) that’s also nice. 3 star but clean and has a water park on site and is a couple of minutes from the beach.

Have a look at the San Eloy in Tossa.
It's not mega smart but very friendly, decent pool, loads of activities during the day - very competitive amongst adults and children😁 - nice food if a little samey after 2 weeks.

Ooh also check out travelzoo’s all inclusive section below - basically like groupon for holidays. They have some nice family friendly places on there.

Flights to Greece are so expensive during school holidays.
I recommend Bulgaria, Malta or Ibiza for flights via easy jet or Ryan air and looking individually at all inc hotels. These seem to be the cheapest I have found

Great suggestions, thank you. I was thinking Bulgaria...

Atlantis in Dubai is great for kids, best waterpark ever and the hotel is very kid friendly

Look at Majorca.
Up until recently I was a bit judgemental of it because it's reputation ended up going and it's beautiful and cheap. Also very easy to drive around and explore if you so desire.
