yep costa del sol near Estepona with DDs 2 and 4 (and when they were 1 and 3). Great in that it was easy, warm (not been in Dec tho) and short flights.

Never looked for childcare on hols tho.

Lots to do (in peak season) and some great places to visit.

Lanzarote, Playa Blanca.
2 yr o loved it.

Tenerife - too much tack imho

Lanzarote Princess hotel

I think Canaries would be better bet than Costa del Sol in Dec, oops. We went to C d S in late Oct/early Nov last year (not with little ones) and the season finished that weekend - defo getting cooler.

I live in estepona and its a nice little place but its very quiet at this time of year. The wearher at the moment is nice during the day about 20 but its quite chilly at night. You are close to Marbella, Puerto banus, Gibraltar and there are some lovely beaches if you fancy a walk. Hotels generally are on the outskirts, Hotel Alba is supposed to be lovely as is Las Dunas or Kempinskis. Alll of which are quite expensive. If you let me know what sort of things you are interested in, I can recommend other places.

lucycinco, have you connected with SenoraPostrophe yet?

How much can you spend? The Mark Warner place in Egypt could be good?

We got snow in Oct last year, lucy! Saw it on the news, boys went on beach in the morning, we drove up for snowballs in the afternoon, brilliant!

Pootling would be perfect for estepona but not alot else to be honest. Isnt there a European version of centreparks, im sure I saw a thread about it on here the other day. The hotels I talked about all have spas, pools etc the Hotel Elba has had some good reviews will see if I can find alink.

Im going to have to be a bit more pushy Jan

JanH, do you live in Spain then?

Guffaw, El Lancstero!

Lancashire del Sol!

There's ClubMed in Morocco, oops?

janh, I love Granada

Well that's the thing with Europe, oops, you can get nice weather in the winter but don't bet the house on it! N Africa defo better bet.

Have you been to a travel agent?

A friend stayed at the First Choice Holiday Village in Benelmedena near Malaga and they reckon it was fab with kids, worth a look.
