[mustsleep]

ok so it would be me dh and a 6 year iold and a 2 year old and possibley my sister

would like two weeks in the middle of june anywhere but has to be somewhere nice for kids and near a beach and we need it to be close to everything becase non eof us drive

i hae looked on the obv places like going places and thomsons but they are all coming to at least £1200 + just wondering if anyone had any secrets or tips

or if anyone could recommend somewhere they had been before

Do you have a particular part of the country in mind?

was thinking of alcudia or fuerventura , bulgaria anywhere really

would you like to go self catering or in a hotel?

Not places I know much about really! But after a quick Google, you might like to take a look at this: www.balkanholidays.co.uk/bulgaria_summer_beach/s08/special_discounts.htm And I know it's a really odd place to think of going for a holiday but Croatia is meant to be very beautiful with gorgeous beaches and relatively cheap because it's not a massive tourist destination. Finally, I would always avoid tour operators as you and always get much better deals if you're prepared to do the research and book direct. Good luck!

www.holidaylets.net/rentals-in-split/46/1446 Self catering on the Croatian coast and walking distance to the beach.

not bothered if it is self catered or whatever

Ok
I have booked a week in Cala D'Or in Majorca for 3 adults, a 4 year old, 2 1 year olds and a 6 month old.
Flights, transfers, 3 bed self catering apartment near the beach with 3 pools.
Just under £800.

Flights with Thomson Fly
Apartments and transfers with Travel Republic.

You want to check out MrsSpoons small business advert too as she has a lovely apartment in Spain ideal for kids and very reasonable.

Croatia is gorgeous but often not that much cheaper than anywhere else.

If you're going to Bulgaria, avoid those places with English names - Sunny Beach and Golden Sands, I think. Apparently they're really manky. We stayed in Sozopol down the coast, which was slightly nicer (but less cheap, of course)>

bulgaria again

can't find mrs spoons ad

had a look on travel republic website and they have some quite reasonable bungalows in fuerteventura - but if you book the flight with a different company how do you sort out your lift to the hotel/apartments etc not used ti doing this and would hate to get there and have to stay in the airport for a week !!

manilva

torre de mar

another duquesa one

well we made sure we got the flights for that day and that the hotel was available and then trvael republic have a seperate section for booking your transfers to and from the airports.

Its really easy.

mustsleep, I have just spotted this, thanks to Nbg and nappyaddict for the plug. Please feel free to get in touch, I can give you a rough quote (doesn't matter at this stage if you don't know exact dates) I try my best to help with cheap flights if I can. Obviously there is absolutely no obligation.

However if you do mail, I am away myself from tomorrow for 10 days, I will try and collect and answer my emails but if you don't hear from me I'm not ignoring you just unable to access my emails and I will be in touch when I get back.
