Winter sun package / hotel with a kid's club?

[Twozealotmorethan1]

We are looking to have a week away the first week in November for our 10 year wedding anniversary. Lack of family babysitters means we will be taking the children with us, as usual. They will be 5yrs and 18mths by then.
We've previously enjoyed all inclusive / full board packages in summer with First Choice, Thomas Cook and Mark Warner using the kid's clubs and evening crèches. But I can't find anything that runs past the middle of October. Our anniversary is the very end of October and school half term is the first week in November so we're tied to going at this time.
Help please?

That time of year it would need to be the canaries unless you go long haul. We went to lanzarote mid October last year. It was nicer than I'd expected

We went to Lanzarote last month and really liked it. Would go back. But can't find anywhere offering kid's club in November...

We stayed at los zocos hotel in Costa teguise. Both my older kids liked the kids club but little one was too young.

That's weird for half term. Mind you our half term is a week earlier so perhaps yours is later than most and the hotels aren't prepared

At that time of year options will be Canaries or long haul if you want warm weather.
Med hotels will have mostly closed for the season unfortunately.

This year our half term is the week commencing 30th Oct. Happy to travel a bit further for somewhere with some childcare options but no idea where to start.

Am wondering if a cruise would give more options too? But not sure how child friendly they are?

We are in a similar boat, same half term, and we failed to find anywhere with a kids club :(

Think the problem may be that your school holidays are the week after most of the rest of the UK. May be try Martinhal resorts? I think their clubs may run throughout the year.
We've not done a cruise yet, but there are ships which are specifically geared for families - and a whole cruising thread on the mumsnet forum...

Club Med have resorts all over the world. But it would entail a longer flight.

It will be much cheaper than the half term most of us have though.

We went to Egypt last winter and the kids club was still running as it was hotel run, not tour operator run.

Same for a lot of the hotels in Cyprus and Greece - Louis Hotels have their own clubs run alongside the Thomson/FC ones.

That's what you need to look for in the hotel descriptions "Hotel run kids club"
