First time abroad with 4 year old help please

[malc1975]

So we have always stayed in the UK for the last few years and been blessed with good weather (first week of June)

Anyway my little girl just loves playing in the beach and swimming in the pool and generally paddling and having fun on a beach And is not too fussed sightseeing which I understand at that age

So for next year we have decided to go abroad to kind of be assured of at least decent If not good weather as I feel our luck will run out in the UK weather soon

My wife and I have never been to aouthern Europe before so we have no clue if gran canaria or turkey or even Bulgaria would.be a good choice

It would.be all inclusive so we can literally stay on the adjacent beach and pool and enjoy the free food and drink and probably venture out for the odd day here and there

We went to a Tui shop for some advice and all they seemed interested is stitching us to a £700 per person deal with no free kids place
all she said was avoid Marrakech as it's not kid friendly but suggested tried to book us going to Greece

Please help

what about cyprus? something like this maybe?

Maybe Lanzarote, low rise and family friendly

that looks nice

Majorca is fantastic for babies and young children.

I've done Barcelona and turkey with a 4 year old

I booked online with teletext holidays - turkey was £329 each with free child place
Barcelona was £239 with free child place - booked with on the beach

Depends what you're looking for OP

Have a look online it's usually cheaper :-)

Try another travel agent. Online is all good and well but most agencies send their staff to visit resorts so they can tell you first hand what it's like. You won't get that online!

Also, tripadvisor is great! :-)

Have a look at reviews for the hotel etc - forgot to add that! Haha

In June you could go to a lot of places and have nice, warm weather. Majorca (Puerto Pollensa often gets mentioned), Menorca, mainland Spain, Cyprus, the Canaries (Playa Blanca in Lanzarote is quite and family friendly), would all work and I suspect that you could do better than £700pp for June. I'd look online and also talk to travel agents and get an idea of what the costs are without committing until you've done your homework. Just make sure you go with a reputable company that is both ABTA and ATOL bonded, that way you will be secure in your booking.

Thank you for all the really helpful replies

We may have hopefully come to a decision in the next few days

Tui quite often do free child places and discounts in jan/Feb. Best bet is to book online (you can also usually get cash back via Quidco). Tui Family Life Hotels would be good for a child your age.

You could also check Thomas Cook and Jet2.
