AIBU to think a Holiday similar to Ikos exists?

[Anddrumrollplease]

We were due to be going to Ikos in May half term but had to cancel due to an issue, but now we have the week free again. Unfortunately we can't afford the rooms that are available for that week now - we usually do the deluxe package and that's 33k euros!

Can anyone recommend anywhere similar-ish?
I know it won't come up the same level but the main things we enjoy are:
not having to fight for a sunbed
multiple restaurants you can pre-book before your stay, not just a buffet option
we usually go for the deluxe package because it offers access to quieter areas of the resort (even with children) but I don't know if anyway offers similar?

We're keen to stick with Greece or Spain, didn't really enjoy Turkey last time we went. I'm struggling and not sure what I'm looking for exists!

Sani is your closest, but I find Mexico resorts better for the same price. Have a look at the Ela Excellence Belek in Turkey or Stella Island in Greece if you don't want long haul.

Thank you. I had a look at Sani but it was similar prices and only half board!

Yeah it's not cheap. Stella Island (or the family one next door) might be similar in price.

Depends what you are looking for by maiestra resorts in Croatia. They do a few 5 stars, I think 1 family 1 adult only etc. mixture of bed and breakfast, half or full board, but you can pay to eat on site ontop if not full board, and it’s much more reasonable prices so it’s not an issue as much

Also the falkensteiner resorts

This one is great for decent food but good with kids

I was in tui last week and the rep reccomended Cape Verde, not Ikos level but you get a lot more for your money. We are still deliberating.

Any of the Sensatori Tui resorts. Not as good as IKOS, but 5 star resorts with multiple restaurants not just buffets, no fighting for sun beds etc. The ones in Turkey are extremely popular but if you don’t fancy Turkey the one in Majorca has consistently good reviews (we’re going there in June).

Have a look at the Domes resorts. Domes Aulus in Zante is all inclusive
