I’m looking to go away in Feb/March/April. Where we usually go has become super expensive, but I think everywhere has!
Pre-covid we could have gone here for a weeks all inclusive (good hotel with an la carte sit down meals and cocktails) for £4k. I am looking at cheaper hotels that aren’t all inclusive to lower the costs but we now have a 2 year old so that will add costs for their seat and room type.
I know the island has become more expensive but AIBU to think everything has and this is just the cost of a nice holiday these days. Our toddler has allergies so we need a room with a fridge for their diary free milk as a minimum and a kitchenette as an ideal as it allows us to cook basic food she likes if she doesn’t eat anything in the restaurants. The room and resort still feels like a hotel which is a must as I don’t like self catering normally, I like to do minimal domestic chores when I’m on holiday!
But then again DH thinks £5k plus food and drinks seems like a lot of money and we should look for alternatives. But I just don’t know where (a lot of places seems to be very anti tourists and I wouldn’t want to go there, I also don’t like going to much poorer countries as I feel uncomfortable staying in luxury whilst others suffer so much) and I really do wonder whether it would really be any cheaper! For context I don’t think we would spend more than £1k extra as the hotel has water sports and it’s own beach included in the resort.
