It's my own fault I know. My DH managed to persuade me that we would have a great time with the kids even if we didn't have a top-notch creche on-site.... got back yesterday from 2 weeks of hell - 8 mth old baby teething all over the place, DS (3) needing constant attention, etc, etc. I am back at work even more knackered than before I went -I didn't have more than 3 hours sleep a night Aaaaaaarrrghhhhhh. Even DH conceded that we would need a holiday to recover from the holiday.
I've been to Mousses before so I know that it IS possible to spend quality time with the kids and still be sane, but it looks like we have left it to late to book there for later this summer/early autumn... does anyone know of any alternative places which have the same set-up, same kind of people? We would prefer something smaller than a Mark Warner type place if poss (unless any of you know any real gems that are similar to Mousses...). I know I can't stop the baby keeping me up at night but if I could at least get an hour or two on the lounger during the daytime......

Thanks Tutter, I will look the place up on the internet.
The two brill things about Mousses are that (1) the creche is fab and all the kids go so everything is peaceful during the mornings and (2) in the afternoons all the kids that are around are in the pool playing together whilst the parents (who all seem to be Mumsnetters) sort-of 'share' the supervision (one day it's all the mums keeping an eye out whilst the dads go to the bar for beers, the next it's the mums turn to chat to each other over G&T's). Absolute bliss. Cannot believe I let my DH talk me out of it this year!

we very nearly went to pine cliffs in april (went to vila vita parc instead) but sounds like the kind of thing you're after. kids club comes very highly recommended - has won awards a-plenty iirc

do a message search here, and check out tripadvisor.com

I have just spoken to them and taken a 'hold' on a room - all sounds fabulous. Many thanks for the offer details. Now I just need to sort out flights...

ah

one thing i just remembered, looking at the details of the offer - you have to sit though a timeshare presentation to qualify for the offer

  • be prepared for hard sell of their golf suites...
