We went to Majorca in June, specifically cos we wanted short-haul. We could have paid £800 or less but went for a £1200 one. Didn't get any deals cos we booked quite late. Only two hours from Manchester, surprisingly nice beaches and coves, family friendly, not too tacky (thought Majorca might be - would never have gone there in childfree days!). Ours are 4 and 2. Didn't avail ourselves of childcare other than nighty mini-disco, but kids we saw seemed happy enough. We went with Cosmos but dont' think it made a difference - most apartment complexes seemed to have their own child entertainment staff. Bit vague I know, but hope it helps.
