After years of self-catering we want to try all-inclusive with teens

We like the Dordogne, particularly Le Banquet in Les Eyzies (thanks, Portofino, for the recommendation a while back!).

We like Puerto Pollensa and Pollensa itself (have booked a villa in the countryside for this year)

In England we like St Ives.

But DH and I now both work fulltime and we want a sodding break from all the shopping and cooking so are considering an all-inclusive for hollow-legged teens (14 and 12). I think their eyes will be on stalks at an all-inclusive buffet. Just for 10 nights plus. August next year. Ideally £6k or under. (May consider slightly over if very nice)
Don’t want to spend £££ on Sani Resort as we are not posh but just want somewhere where kids do not run feral till11pm and families load up in the all-inc booze.

We don’t want Turkey, Sharm, Mexico or Dom Rep but will consider anywhere else within 4 hr flight.

Absolute priorities are:

Nice food
No fighting for a sun bed.
Stuff to do for teens (eg table tennis, WiFi, not necessarily kids club for that age)
Maybe a gym.

We don’t need little kids entertainment/club anymore.

Any ideas, anyone?

We are just back from here , had two teens and 3 younger kids. Onsite water park is a big bonus. It was our first AI but hooked now . Such a break !

It was stunning. We arrived about 8pm and walked into reception and were like 😯😯😯 and we loved it. Very few brits but it was fab x

I'm getting excited now!! All the reviews are looking really good, first Christmas abroad and I can't wait. Will definitely be on the beach on the 25th with a bottle of Prosecco 🥂.

Enjoy Tenerife x

Enjoy, you two! I’ve purposely avoided the Canaries for over 45 years of my life thanks to the Brits Abroad stereotype, and realised only recently I’ve been missing out on some fab holidays!

@CurlyhairedAssassin which hotel did you stay in?

CurlyhairedAssassin · 11/08/2019 00:37

It was the Costa Adeje Gran. In the naice part of Tenerife! Wink. Lovely hotel, just right for us (I’m not a fan of the minimalist look when it comes to hotels) and I don’t like it either too busy or too quiet.

Or Gran Costa Adeje. Whichever way round!

@CurlyhairedAssassin

I am totally with you on Siam Park. Overcrowded and boiling hot ... hell on earth!
The wave pool was the only good thing.
