My son is an only, and shy but also desperate to be friends with other kids on holiday! We are not enough for his entertainment anymore! I’m keen for a hotel with a warm pool (Easter hols) a kids club/ activities which are ‘nearby’ the pool or super well run, encourage kids to join! he’s braver if he can see me! He’s travelled the world but says his best holiday was Isle of Wight where he met/ made a friend. Which makes me feel so sad! Even no kids club but activities around a large warm pool would be good, literally any country although Cyprus and Tenerife favourite as warmest in April I think?
my husband and I just want a sun bed and a cocktail!! 😂
tripadvisor and travel agent websites do not help! There’s kids clubs, then there KIDS clubs, and I want a good one! Help!!

thanks x

The FB group Family Lockdown Tips and Ideas is a brill place to ask

Not exactly what you asked, but maybe have a look at cruises? My DD always loved the kids' activities on board, but not so much at any other hotel/resort we stayed at.

HD Parque cristobel in Las Americas, Tenerife is excellent for children. Read the reviews on trip advisor. We have just been in Feb and kids loved the kids club. Jack (the main guy in winter) is English and is so good with the kids xx

Following!

We're in a similar situation but also want good food

Does it have to be abroad? A caravan holiday in the UK with a decent indoor pool and a kids' club would also meet these needs. Not so much the warmth / sunbathing element at Easter but might be cheaper.

Er…we were only bed and breakfast and breakfast was good. Reviews mention it’s decent but it’s in a great location with lots of restaurants within minutes x
