where shall we go for Easter? Help please.

We had thought about going skiing but DH is stressed from work and skiing with our two very novice DCs would snot be the relaxing holiday he craves.
He would like sunshine guaranteed and a swimming pool or sea warm enough to swim in. He'd also like a gym.
I would like no jet lag (experience with flying to Florida with the DCs tells me that they take forever to adjust to the time difference.), not too long a flight and sports facilities.
DCs would like the usual things for DCs to do, swim, play football, occasional kids club, other children.

We've had quotes for Dubai but they are coming in quite high for B&B even because of it being school holidays/easter.
South Africa is on our list of possibilities.
I've looked at First Choice Holiday Village in Tenerife (I'd be happy with that) but DH says he's not inspired.

Any recommendations please, very very gratefully received.

TIA

Morrocco/Turkey are usually warm and no jet lag. No specific recommendations but a bump might help

Actually the weather in the UK has been fab over recent Easters. I recall sat under a weather depression in Southern Spain in 2007 with a very sad face, whilst the UK had temps up in the 20's

thanks shark bite. We holidayed in the UK at Easter in 2010 and had fabulous weather. We were all in shorts, t shirts and wearing suncream etc. We just can't guarantee it though can we?

We did Turkey at Easter last year. We took 2DC. First time they'd flown, flight was just under 4 hrs and they were fine with it. Weather was great. We stayed in a 5* in Side. Had a waterpark, mini fairground and was right on the beach. All inc. Gym. Was amazing to be quite honest. Have a look in the Thomas Cook Aquamania brochures. That's were we booked ours from.

thanks H&H - off to have a look now

where did you actually stay H&H? there are quite a few in Turkey?

Stayed at Royal Dragon Hotel, Side :-)
