HELP !!!! Booked flights hotel made a big boob

[mcmum]

anyone been to nice ? Been toying with taken kids to south of france and easyjet fly to nice from newcastle. so booked hotel on beach front looked v nice got email confirming booking and that voucher would be emailed so booked flights only to get phonecall from v v v v v v v stroppy french callcentre girlie telling me i couldnt have two kids in room even though it allowed me to book online so im panicing have looked on loads of sites but we have flight booked for 22nd aug for 1 week any suggestions pleeeeeese

French schoolkids will be back at school by then so shouldn't be too mad. I know the area further west so not much help but options from Nice airport would be mobile home sites (fab for kids and I know there are buses) or chalets/villas. Have you spoken to the hotel direct? If you insist how small the children are and how they'll all cry if you can't all sleep together it can often work. Or maybe they have an adjoining room at a cheap price. French high season finishes on about 15th August usually so you should have room to negociate. Good luck!

bump ! coz im still struggling to find a hotel that will take family of four ? do the french only have one child family? am panicing only ones i have found so far are very expensive. Has anyone hired a villa here they could recommend pleeeeeeeeese

bubblerock,
thank you so much ! am looking at them now my budget is probably 1000 euro max for week and there seems to be couple of options it is very hard finding hotel for four and even harder to find one with pool as going in august

Ah, a pool could be tricky! I'll keep looking and post if I see anything

thank you much appreciated

bubblerock just realised you are kind mum who helped me with my fairy search , youre a star !

No - I'm just bored

There's one here that looks nice with pool.

How about an apartment with pool
here
or here - 50m to the beach!

It would give you lots of space with the children!

bubblerock u r too good, i booked one last night called brice tulip but i like the ones you have found more recently, bummer ive paid too! will see what dh thinks thanx again vvvvvvv much apreciated

Oh no, does that one have a pool? I really liked the second apartment near the beach too

We stayed in a villa in Portinatx Ibiza and it was so great having a washing machine, being able to keep everything clean - it dried in minutes on the line with the good weather and it was brilliant to go home without mounds of washing! Sorry for rambling but it's just an advantage of apartments/villas.

I AGREE WE STAYED IN FAB VILLA IN FLORIDA LAST YEAR. one we booked didnt have pool but might change booking
