Does this holy grail exist? I've been scouring the internet looking for a holiday over the school xmas holidays. We have a 2, 4 & 6 year old so need a room that takes 5 people. We also want a kids club that will take the 2 year old. So far they all say age 3+ or age 4+

If you've done a holiday that ticks these boxes please let me know as I'm beaten. We want some warmth (happy with Mexico as we went 3 years ago at Xmas and it was fine temperature wise even tho cooler than the Caribbean)

I think Lanzarote/tenerife/short haul will be too cold for us at that time of year.

Rather than looking for a 5 person room - could you look for inter-connecting rooms. We had one once and it was wonderful. There were 3 single beds in one room and a double in the other. DD had a ball sleeping in a different bed each night! An extra room might help with noise levels of 3 kids plus 2 adults in one room.

can't help with kids club info - my knowledge is european based although my SIL swears by Dubai. Now if you're interested in ski-ing at Christmas - think Mark Warner or Ski Espirit. Brilliant childcare IME

Don’t know about room for five, but when we went a few years ago, jewel runaway bay in Jamaica was one of very few kids clubs we found that took 2 year olds.

Maybe consider asking for a Junior Suite. They normally have a room with a double and a single bed and a sitting room with a couch that can be changed into a double bed.

Powder Byrne do a crèche for babies upwards, 6 days a week at some hotels. I think they might be summer sun but speak to them. They do winter sun but not sure about 5 in a room or crèche in winter.

Wouldn't touch Powder Byrne with the proverbial barge pole. Childcare the time we did go with them consisted of the office girl who was on a university placement. This was just one of the ways they loused up.

Thank you everyone! I didn't really think I'd get any replies these are all helpful. I will google these places now. Any other suggestions welcome!

Have now also found Grand Palladium in Mexico in case anyone else is in the same boat. They take from 1 year in the baby club.

The beaches hotels do childcare very young, as do some club med ones.

When I look for 5 person rooms, I just put 2 adults and 3 children and 1 room into the requirements and it'll come up with what is available, including interconnecting rooms.

Also check out Worldwide Kids - we used their kids club in a European destination for our 2 (and 5 and 7 year old) and I was really happy with them and probably worth checking out if they do any Caribbean destinations.
