OK know this has prob been done before but lots of threads seem to have been archived.
DD will be about 21 - 23 months in the summer and want to take her on a bucket and spade holiday! We would like a bit of a rest too, so would like somewhere with the option of occasional childcare eg a couple of hours 2 days a week plus the odd night babysitting.
I hate the following
Big hotels
Anything organised eg activities, excursions, singers eurgh.
Buffets - I want my food cooked just for me.
Package holidays (but would do for right place)
Piped music esp in restaurant or lift
I like the following
Small cosy hotels with character
Fab food
Wonderful views
Pool as an option but not necessary
Must be walking distance to beach
Maybe somewhere like Corsica, Italy, Turkey? Don't really mind as long as pretty and not full of cafes serving fish and chips and full english.
What are things like Mark Warner like? Have always veered away from that sort of thing. Dd's godfather got asked to leave on his one and only trip to Club Med for lamping some idiot dressed as Scooby Doo who wouldn't leave him alone. If I got somewhere and there was someone dressed as Scooby Doo I would leave and go and stay in the local public loos as a better alternative.
Hope I have managed to convey my requirements!
