Holiday resort with energetic 18 month old!

[Lisafarmer89]

We are going on holiday next week to a lovely all inclusive resort in Tenerife with our very energetic 18 month old daughter. We have been abroad with her before in a villa but this is an all inclusive resort so we won't have the luxury of putting her down for a nap and chilling by the pool like last time, so are looking for tips/advice how to make our holiday enjoyable and not too stressful!

Try and take a pop up play tent. You might be able to put it up in the hotel garden somewhere. It will protect her from the sun while you sunbathe, she can play in it or nap in it. You can also have it up in your hotel room.
We managed to take a small bubble machine, which we set up in a corner and provided several minutes/hours of entertainment. We also took this rocket toy. www.elc.co.uk/garden-games/rocket-zoomer/122907.html?cgid=5429 and an inflatable beach ball.
Take lots of snacks. We also used to take those capsules of squirty dilutable squash that you can buy in supermarkets.
